Luding travel guide Luding cycling travel notes

Luding is a super powerful place. There are not only many classic stories of the Red Revolution, but also many beautiful natural landscapes. The terrain here is complex, there are few people, and the natural environment and ecosystem are well protected. It is a natural oxygen bar. Let's share with you the travel strategy of Luding.

Xin 'gou-Erlang Mountain-Luding is 55Km, with an altitude of1330-2170-1330m.

Just across a mountain, across a river, so many mountains and rivers.

Get up at six, eat at half past six and leave at seven!

The new ditch in the morning is misty and rainy, and the air is fresh. It is really natural oxygen. I rested all night, covered in blood, and now I'm alive again ~ I saw the weather forecast, and it will rain after ten o'clock. Whether the weather forecast is accurate or not, I must cross Erlang Mountain before ten o'clock to avoid the tragedy of getting wet.

Before riding a bike, the first thing you see is this warning sign: Never stay on National Highway 3 18 for life.

safety first

Erlang Mountain is only more than 2000 meters above sea level, which is the highest mountain I have ever climbed by bike in my life, but it is only a small earthen bag compared with any mountain that I entered Tibet later. However, the gentle uphill and Panshan Road of 18km are enough for me to have a drink.

Forget it, don't think so much, just consider it as a preliminary test of whether I can reach Lhasa. Keep an attitude of contempt from the heart and attention from action. Let's go.

Don't forget! Besides climbing mountains, there are natural oxygen bars and fairyland.

Roadside beauty

I met a small snake, but I'm afraid of snakes. Your calm expression still scared me.

Yang Guo jumped off a cliff, and developed an internal force. Zhang Wuji jumped off a cliff and practiced the magic of Jiuyang. Duan Yu jumped off the cliff and took a micro step. If I jump now,

The old Sichuan-Tibet road is overgrown with weeds and can't walk.

No matter how long the slope is, Erlang Mountain is right under our feet.

The oldest member of our cycling team, 60-year-old Mr. Wang, also rode up.

Passing through the tunnel of 4 173 meters, it suddenly became clear, the scenery on the mountain changed instantly, and the weather changed from misty rain to sunny. The unique spectacle of Erlang Mountain "One Mountain has Yin and Yang" is presented to me.

Somewhere beyond the mist/blue sky and white clouds.

Climb the gentle slope for another two kilometers, and you will see a wild river passing through the city at the foot of the mountain.

The Dadu river

This is my destination today, Luding and Dadu River. Are you particularly excited?

Check the brakes, shelves, camel bags, 27 kilometers downhill, cool.

Safety first, slow down on the steep slope, control the speed within 30 yards, fly directly down Erlang Mountain, find the youth brigade and plant the team flag.

campsite

In the afternoon, the big boys found a restaurant to treat themselves, took a nap, maintained my partner Xiaoxi, looked for the footprints of their predecessors, flew to Luding Bridge Memorial Hall and rode bicycles on the road in Luding County.
