DAY 8 (May 17) Feilai Temple - Yanjing

I got up late this morning, and it was too bright when I saw Jinshan in the sunshine, but it was still spectacular

Most of the way today is riding along the Lancang River, the river is very yellow

Arrive at the salt well and overlook the ancient salt field

DAY 9 (May 18) Yanjing-Mangkang

Climbing Hongla Mountain today is even more tiring than Baima Snow Mountain, and the road conditions on the Tibet side are poor, tires are punctured and leaked, and I only found out when I went to the place where I lived. No wonder I was so tired from riding.

Looking at the snow-capped mountains, basking in the sun, drinking mountain spring water, comfortable

The prices here in Mangkang are not generally high, because there are no products, and now we have to protect the environment and encourage non-grazing with subsidies

DAY 10 (May 19) Mangkang - Jueba Village

I was a little tired yesterday, so I turned over Mount Lawu today and rested in Jueba Village after two o'clock in the afternoon.

Also, the rats on the grassland here are really fat, but it’s a pity that they can’t be photographed clearly, the color is almost the same as the land

DAY 11 (May 20) Jueba Village - Rongxu Military Station

Today I turned Jueba Mountain and arrived at Rongxu Military Station at 3:00 in the afternoon. Since Jueba Mountain is building a tunnel, Panshan Road has stopped maintenance. It is maintained by the armed police. Many corners have been ground into powder. Every time a car passes by, it is dusty. In the next four years, this road will get worse and worse

Mountain Road Eighteen Bends

DAY 12 (May 21) Rongxu Military Station—Zuogong

At 7 o'clock in the morning, we started the journey to cross Dongda Mountain. Although the slope is not big, only 25 kilometers, but the whole journey is above 4,000 altitudes, the lack of oxygen gradually appeared, top-heavy, sleepy, so we had to stop Take a break or push your cart forward, there is less snow than when you came three years ago

Tibet's Qiuming Mountain Circuit

The road down the mountain is very bad, it feels like maintenance has stopped, and ice slag fell halfway down the mountain

DAY 13 (May 22) Zuogong-Bangda

Today's road is rare without any big mountains, basically flat road, less cars and good road, along the Yuqu River - the water is as green as jade, and it is very comfortable to ride

There is an unknown beast on the other side of the river, and the yak has been staring at it

When I arrived in Bangda, I went to the Tibetan restaurant where I ate noodles three years ago. I drank butter tea and ate beef noodles. I was addicted to eating milk pie. The hostess was very nice and gave me extra noodles.

DAY 14 (May 23) Bangda-Basu

As soon as I went out in the morning, I started to climb, and turned over the Yela Mountain Pass

In the cave on the top of the mountain, it is said that King Gesar shot an arrow through his heart to kill the legendary demon and won the war

Turn 72 of the Nujiang River. The last time I sat in the car to see the scenery, this time I rode down the mountain myself. I deeply realized that this section of the road is not easy. Basically, it is a 180-degree hairpin bend. I feel numb when I pinch the brakes, especially the second half. In the canyon, there is a hairpin bend at two to three hundred meters, paying tribute to the road builders

DAY 15 (May 24) Basu - Ranwu

Crossing the pass of Anjula Mountain today is a different kind of scenery. The snow-capped mountains are so close, and more people kowtow

Although the altitude of Anjula Mountain is not high, the snow cover and strong wind are among the best on the 318th line

Revisiting the old place, things are different

Sun Hui from the Sichuan-Tibet Challenge set off from Chengdu on the 20th and arrived in Ranwu at night. It was too scary. Many people in the inn specially went to meet him
