West Sichuan Plateau —— A Camping Tour in Ganzi Prefecture (I)

Every year, National Day is the season when autumn brings cool osmanthus fragrance, but this summer seems unbearable. The long summer urges people to go out and have a look at the autumn outside.

At the invitation of my friend's early planning, I hesitated and decided to go. This time, our go on road trip in western Sichuan is mainly camping, with one car and one tent, pots and pans, oil, vegetables and rice, and a portable cassette oven. Four people, women, two 70-year-old girls and two 200-year-old girls, the driving task belongs to me and a 00-year-old girl.

The Quaker's name for Sunday

On the morning of the 3rd, the sky still smelled of summer. Everyone packed up properly and set off on August 40 with expectation and yearning. It is difficult for young people to get up early, so the first stop of driving is naturally mine.

My daughter's jeep off-road vehicle, I am a little familiar with it, and it is easy to get on the road. Suddenly I found that the fuel tank was almost at the bottom, and I planned to go to the high-speed entrance gas station to refuel. As a result, many people passed by, and I was a little impatient. Well, it is said that there is a gas station in the service area! As a result, the light showed that there was no service area with a gas station at all, so I was anxious to search the nearest exit on the Internet, fill it up and move on.

Gaode map navigation shows that Yakang Expressway exit and Kangding urban area are seriously congested. We agreed to transfer to National Highway 3 18 at Tian Quan Expressway, which really reduced the congestion but increased the fuel consumption. My friend predicts that the planning will be carried out at high speed for free. The witness of this trip is not as good as the sky. What you gain, you lose. There is no need to add this after a long vacation! The cost of off-peak travel may not be more.

Drive into National Highway 3 18 and drive in the direction of Moxi.

Moxi, an ancient commercial town for tourists' leisure shopping, is a scenic spot in western Sichuan, Hailuogou. It was past two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived here.

Drive to Moxi for a rest in one breath (6 hours). I didn't experience the ancient street customs and delicious snacks here in the plan, and of course I didn't feel hungry. The sun is hot, bright and hot, with blue sky and white clouds and transparent air.

After 00, the girls drove, and I began to see the scenery on the roadside. From Moxi Ancient Town to Yumo Road, the altitude gradually rises, and the hot and bright sunshine is a little dull. The peaks of Dadu River Gorge are soaring up and down, and the steep cliff slopes are clear in yin and yang. The vegetation color transits briefly in spring, summer and autumn, and the Gongga Mountain peak is faintly visible in the distance. The traffic volume is not large, and there are occasional birds singing in the mountains. The streams along the way are full of pebbles and sporadic red stones appear, which makes curiosity stop to take pictures.

Avoid the traffic jam of Yakang Expressway, arrive in Kangding city around 5 o'clock, drive slowly, and start to climb more and more mountains, with more cars, more bends and high altitude. Although my little daughter has only got her driver's license for two years, she knows her car like the back of her hand and moves skillfully. I'm not worried about her surgery. Her aunt reminded her all the way to "control the speed with navigation tips", which made her show impatience several times.

The traffic is so heavy that it is close to 7 o'clock to climb the mountainous area to the top.

It's a beautiful day today. During the National Day holiday, the weather in the western Sichuan Plateau is very good, with blue sky and white clouds and sunny days. In the evening, a rare sunset glow in October appeared in Zheduo Mountain. The first time I felt the sunset glow closest to me, a sigh that touched my soul came out-

ah ...

Look!

How beautiful!

Her light, her color and her gentleness drift slowly with the deep sky.

The night is getting darker and darker, driving downhill is getting slower and slower, the traffic volume is getting bigger and bigger, and my high reaction to stop and go is getting stronger and stronger. I took out the prepared oxygen, took a few breaths, and instantly felt much better. It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than down it, and it is difficult to walk in serious traffic jams. There is no traffic police maintenance at night. Only when a middle-aged man acts as a temporary conductor does he show signs of moving. 10: 30, it is not easy to pass normally. We started looking for camping sites along the road. At this time, I had a headache and my chest was stuffy. I just wanted to find a campsite to have a rest. I don't know where I am when it's dark, and I don't know where I can stay tonight. I feel uncomfortable. ...

My friend planned the first day's campsite-xinduqiao. Due to the geographical location of western Sichuan, the construction of high-rise buildings is restricted, and the influx of a large number of tourists makes limited accommodation a hot commodity. The local government has set up centralized campsites along the roads with convenient transportation. Of course, there is a charge for big festivals. One car, one tent, one night in 50 yuan, providing cold water and toilets. We chose Qilin Capital, a relatively large camping site.

Because we went too late, there were few good places, so we chose a flat land by the river to set up our tent. These three friends are going to make a fire and cook a simple dinner. Due to poor contact, the gas tanks of some box furnaces are not allowed to be used. The self-heated rice they ate made me feel uncomfortable and lost my appetite. After a few sips of water, I turned into the tent to experience camping.

Tents are convenient and uncomfortable, and there is nothing uncomfortable when going out, as long as you can live. Our tent has no air cushion, just a damp-proof pad and cotton wool. My sleeping bag is the thickest one with a quilt outside. It's warm, and the sleeping bag is too tight to turn over. I'm tired of sleeping all night!

The temperature difference between day and night in the western Sichuan Plateau is too great, which can reach 3-4 degrees in the middle of the night and 22-3 degrees in the daytime when the weather is clear.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sun smiled and a thin veil danced on the top of the mountain. Someone at the campsite started cooking breakfast. It's hot and fragrant. We can't stand the temptation of beautiful scenery and delicious food. We also got up, had a simple breakfast, walked around the campsite, lifted our eyes, refreshed ourselves and prepared for our next trip.
