There is no trouble that cannot be solved by driving 318 once, if you have any, just drive again! Since I drove 318 by myself in 2015, my father and mother have always been obsessed with the irreplaceable beauty of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. At that time, I was looking forward to taking 318 once in three or two years. In 2016, Qi Xiaobao ushered in. Since then, my wish has been deep Zang, 7 years have passed in a flash, and Qi Xiaobao has also grown from a naive little Beibi to a handsome young man. And Qi's parents and Qi's mother's desire to take the Sichuan-Tibet Road again is also increasing day by day, and the waves are turbulent. When Qi Xiaobao is about to start his primary school life, this desire finally accumulates into a huge wave, breaking through the obstacles of reason, and his reason collapses thousands of miles. Destroy! So overcoming all difficulties, re-walking 318 was put on the agenda.
Chengdu Chengdu
Before going to Tibet, I wanted to spend a few days in Chengdu, visit Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Dujiangyan, and Wuhou Temple, walk to the end of Yulin Road, and sit at the door of the tavern. . But the plan can’t keep up with the rapid changes. Although they belong to Bashu, and although the billboard says “Chongqing and Rongcheng a game of chess”, the reality is that the nucleic acid will land directly on the highway, and the pop-up window will be opened with one yard. Then there is a strict three-day inspection twice before entering and leaving public places.
Weakly challenge the hot pot in Chengdu. Although you have been defeated repeatedly, you can do as the Romans do. Qi Xiaobao focused on the grass boat and borrowed arrows, and almost got "Mr. Kong Ming" away
Maybe starting from Qingdao, going to Wuhan in midsummer, entering Yichang, and arriving in Chongqing. The weather is hot and fast-paced, and the hot and cold switches inside and outside the car are too frequent. Qi Xiaobao developed a high fever in Chengdu. Maybe the weather in Chengdu is too hot. A high fever was an unprecedented 39 degrees, which scared Qi's parents and mothers enough! I rushed to the hospital at the first time. When I arrived at the hospital, because of the pop-up window and the quarantine personnel at the door, I was inked for a long time. The policy is ruthless and people are merciless. Dabai from the emergency room helped coordinate various registrations and entered the clinic. Here, I want to serve the people of Wenjiang District. The hospital enthusiastically gave a thumbs up! The doctor was amiable, and the result was safe and sound - he caught a cold! Children don't hide their illnesses, they come and heal quickly! Originally, Dad Qi had already thought about changing the plan, after all, the time is good when the children are good! Nothing else matters. The strong Qi Xiaobao is alive and well again. It feels like he took advantage of the two-day home health inspection time to rest himself. Since the kid is a good guy again, he is no longer hypocritical as a father! The journey continues, but the in-depth tour of Chengdu is changed to the period of going to Tibet to rest and prepare for the war.
Qi Xiaobao took a walk around the Giant Panda Base that Qi Xiaobao was thinking of, and warmed up before walking the Sichuan-Tibet line, looking for the "cat" trio! Qi Xiaobao is in excellent condition, as if nothing happened in the past two days, the child is happy, and the haze of Qi's parents and mother's heart is swept away
Qi Xiaobao issued cards for the giant panda chosen by his mother, making Qi's mother look cute!
The exaggerated expression of the giant panda has already explained how hot the weather is today!
I found a panda of the same age as Qi Xiaobao, whose birthday is only 6 days away. So, for Yu Qi Xiaobao, this is a big panda brother
The giant panda Qi Yi, who is the same age as Qi Xiaobao, sleeps soundly on his exclusive tree house with a relaxed face
Qi Xiaobao is curious about Qi Yi who is the same age as him, compared to the classic scissorhands and giant panda in the same frame, his love is beyond words!
Panda ice cream brings a touch of coolness to the sweltering weather
Today's high temperature makes the giant pandas look unrespectable. They feel that they fell asleep without putting on a good posture. In Qi Xiaobao's words, they are called summer sleep.
There are still decent giant pandas, look at this one, looking at tourists, pretending not to fall asleep! Does it look like you who fell asleep in class? When I was in school, in the drowsy summer classroom, how much Qi's father wished to have such a pair of dark circles as a disguise! Ha ha
The panda base is shaded by bamboo forests. Bamboo is the favorite of giant pandas, so you can use local materials
Qi Xiaobao has got his spoils, everyone has to rush, and the panda toy is Qi Xiaobao's rush today
People in the arena involuntarily! For Yu Qi Xiaobao, the upcoming Sichuan-Tibet line trip is something he can't help himself! In fact, the only thing Qi Xiaobao is interested in is returning to Qingdao to catch crabs. There is a natural intimacy between children and the sea.
As today's protagonist, Qi Xiaobao is the best endorsement of our trip, he smiles happily, and our trip is worthwhile!
Farewell to the Panda Base, we should also pack our bags and set off for 318
I purchased some necessary supplies in a supermarket in Chengdu, such as mineral water drinks, self-heating rice and instant noodles. Later, I found that Qi’s father still had the impression of 7 years ago. Today’s Sichuan-Tibet Highway has a rich supply of supplies along the road, which is no longer comparable to that day.
This life must drive 318 Chengdu is less than 300 kilometers away from Kangding, the throat of Tibet. Famous or Beijing-Kunming Expressway connects to Yaye Expressway, and the whole journey can reach Kangding Liuliu City. Last time Xiaobai, this time Dahei, the last time SUV was invincible, this time MPV is not sure, why not? The chassis is low, the body is long, and the asphalt road is not difficult, but it is hard to talk about bad roads! The fact is that Qi’s father’s worries are superfluous. Today’s Sichuan-Tibet line has long since been reborn. Not to mention the comparison with Beijing’s roads, it is still okay to compare with the roads of third- and fourth-tier cities! So friends who have an idea to enter Tibet, don’t need to worry, don’t care what kind of car, just start practicing!
The Tianquan service area on the Yaye Expressway is larger than Qi’s father’s imagination. In the service area, there are everything from clothing, hats, shoes and socks to all kinds of food! The hustle and bustle are all coming to Tibet, and all are going to Tibet. In short, you can buy everything you need to enter Tibet here, even if you don’t bring any luggage, you can buy it all in one stop at the Tianquan service area! So it can be seen that 318 has a high passenger flow! The law of supply and demand is fully reflected here. Where there are people, there is business. This is not false at all!
The Tianquan service area has a special geographical location and has become a necessary place for self-driving into Tibet. Under this road sign, there is an endless flow of people, coming and going.
Qi Ma is unconventional, sitting on the ground, just for these impassioned characters, "This life must drive 318", even if we are entering Tibet for the second time, there is always a sense of ceremony! Across thousands of mountains and across thousands of rivers, isn't it just for the upcoming pilgrimage?
Crossing the Dadu River, because of the high speed, we skipped Luding and went straight to Kangding. The Luding Bridge was not in our plan for this trip, but life always has trade-offs, and so does travel. After all, time and energy They are all limited, so take the kids and pick the best ones.
Hello Kangding! Hello Yoyo City! I thought it would be troublesome to enter the Tibetan area, but I didn’t expect that after the green code was displayed, it would be released immediately. There is no suspense in the arrival of Yoocheng. It seems that it is right to be troublesome in Chengdu. Located in Ganzi Prefecture in western Sichuan, you can walk freely without complicated procedures
Kangding City is sandwiched between three mountains and one river. The three mountains are Gongga Sacred Mountain, Yala Snow Mountain, and Zheduo Mountain. One river is the Zheduo River that passes through Kangding City. Each mountain is famous. The three mountains guard Kangding City. Make the city of Kangding see the mountains when you look up, and the river when you look down
Because it is located in a canyon, the space of Kangding City is limited, and the whole city is built along the banks of the Zheduo River. Therefore, parking in Kangding is a big problem. Before booking a hotel, it is very important to know whether the hotel provides a parking lot. Otherwise, when you go up to an altitude of 2500 plus, you have to find a place to park everywhere, and you have to walk back to the hotel on your legs, which is enough for you! The turbulence of the Zheduo River frightened Qi Xiaobao
The roaring Zhedo River passing through the city, rushing forward without looking back, walking in a hurry, seems to be rushing to the next party, the Zhedo River and the Yala River meet in Kangding, maybe this is Zhedo The reason why the river is impatient
Passing by a building marked Kangding Gate, I don’t know if it is a historic site, but Kangding City is a blend of old and new, and it is hard to tell whether the old building is a new building
Yoyo City's Internet celebrity restaurants make a fresh start
Sichuan-Tibetan fusion, delicious
This ice cream dessert is called Gongga Shenshan, which has a unique shape and delicious taste
Qi Xiaobao felt dizzy and dizzy after eating, and didn't want to take a step. It's a high-reverse symptom! Qi's father immediately adjusted the itinerary and decided to stay in Kangding for one more day to help Qi Xiaobao adapt to the high altitude and observe whether he can continue to go to Tibet. If there is any feeling of discomfort, there is nothing to say, and he will go down the mountain and return immediately.
Qi Xiaobao, who stayed for one night, felt much better. Children are very adaptable. Of course, we will not miss it in front of the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. The tour around Kangding has been arranged. The beautiful scenery along the way can stop at any time
In the Zhedo River Valley, Qi Xiaobao can finally play in the water happily
After passing through Kangding, you really set foot on 318. Only after you left Kangding City and turned over a slope, the scenery has changed suddenly. The river is crystal clear and has a blue color. Coming here with the greetings from the mountain, standing in the valley, Qi Ma's mood is like this rushing Zhedo River, clear and joyful! This is the unique mood of self-driving 318!
Zuimei S434318 is under construction for traffic control from Kangding to Zheduo Mountain. After crossing Zheduo Mountain and continuing 318, you need to detour S434. I thought this road might not have the classic 318. Turn around in advance and find that there are surprises, high mountains and valleys, green grass. , a large cloud, such as a white hada, entwined on the top of the mountains, isn't this a cloud that is running around! Qi's mother didn't have much expectation for today's scenery. This unexpected beauty came a bit off guard. Standing in front of the camera, she didn't know which leg to stretch out.
A few steps down the side of the road is a peerless beauty. S434 is not inferior to 318 at all. The quiet and gentle beauty makes people feel calm in an instant. Most of the beautiful scenery on the plateau has such magic power! You look at the dreamlike beauty in front of you, and then you are so quiet that you can hear your heartbeat and breathing! Dad Qi felt that the higher the altitude, the closer he was to his heart. Qi's mother folded her palms in front of a mani pile, grateful for meeting, grateful for the years, and grateful for all the good times!
On the first day, it jumped from 2500+ to 4100+. Both Qi’s father and mother felt a little drifting, and they felt breathless after taking two steps. The saying “visual paradise, physical hell” is true, at least at this moment, Qi’s father and Qi Mom feels like this, as for Qi Xiaobao, he has already fallen asleep in the car
The snow-capped mountains in the distance, the slowly flowing streams, the clouds and mist rolling in the blue sky when you look up, and the breeze kisses the tips of your hair when you look down. . Could there be a better time than this? Qi's mother is intoxicated in this beautiful scenery, her heart is peaceful and beautiful!
The scenery here is worthy of exaggerated movements. Qi's mother dances her arms, as if she wants to dance with this beautiful scenery. The beauty of the world requires a pair of eyes to discover beauty and a heart that can feel beauty, and these , Mom has both
Starting again the next day, a mountain stream on the side of the road, like a Hada swaying down from the top of the mountain, attracted Qi Xiaobao deeply by the roaring flowing water. For the first time, he asked to take a photo. The little guy spread his arms and stood on tiptoe. The toes seem to be flying off the ground. Take it easy, this is a plateau of 3500+!
To live, one should stand between heaven and earth, walk and feel.
The clouds are all like this, and the mountains are covered with a single stroke. In Kangding, the disappearance of a single stroke is performed in this sky every day.
Passing through the beautiful scenery at an altitude of 4,100 meters yesterday, I encouraged Qi Xiaobao to get out of the car and punch a card. Unexpectedly, the child was indifferent to the beautiful scenery that made Qi's parents and Qi mother fascinated, and just played with him by the plateau stream. That toy car, well, I will remember it when I see it, I hope you will have a pair of eyes to discover beauty sooner or later, and a heart that can accommodate beauty!
Honghaizi, on the way from Kangding to Tagong Grassland, we can see the Yala Snow Mountain here. Since Qi Xiaobao is not suitable for being too tired, we did not go to the lake, but just took some photos on the viewing platform, and took pictures on the plateau. Traveling with children, we skip all those who need to leave our car and travel too far, such as Mugecuo. As for Honghaizi, it is also a good choice to stand here and watch from a distance
Honghaizi, at an altitude of 4,200 meters, has a clear lake, like a mirror, lying quietly at the foot of the Yala Snow Mountain. The lake reflects the snow peaks. It is said that the sunset is the most beautiful. With the blue sky as a companion, Hong Haizi is like a shy girl, not showing us her most beautiful appearance
Honghaizi is not far ahead, which is the 4401 Miyala Pass. On our first day, we jumped from more than 2,000 to more than 4,000, just like taking an elevator
The grassland on the plateau - Tagong Grassland, here is the home field of yaks. At this height, there are occasional eagles soaring in the sky, and only yaks are left on the ground. Otherwise, how could yaks have the reputation of the boat of the plateau? At the extreme height of life, only yaks can walk freely
Qi Ma's adaptability is not bad, she can basically cope with the current high altitude
Since Qi's mother still has a job, she can't do without the mobile phone signal. On the plateau, China Unicom's mobile phone often becomes an embarrassing decoration. There are a few times when I shop at the stalls of the Tibetan brothers, no matter whether it is mobile or telecom, I can use it. Mobile phones with Unicom cards have become veritable bricks on the plateau! In view of the limited communication, we gave up going deep into the hinterland of Tagong Grassland and went to Xindu Bridge to connect to 318.
At a Buddhist pagoda by the side of Xinduqiao Road, Qi’s father leaned the car against the side of the road, and asked Qi Xiaobao, who had been sleeping all the way, to get out of the car and dance.
Qi Xiaobao slept through several mountains, and was a little dazed when he woke up, so he had to relax by a river in Xindu Bridge. The Hengduan Mountains are like this. There are many mountains along the way, with ups and downs. It is normal to read the four seasons in one day and sleep through several mountains in one night.
At the end of the tunnel is Yajiang Xindu Bridge between Kangding and Yajiang, under Zheduo Mountain, with an altitude of 3500+, known as a photographer’s paradise. The only way to go through the Yajiang River. When Dad Qi took this road in 2015, he had a thrilling journey when he climbed the Gaoersi Mountain. He still remembers it so far. I came to Xinduqiao to take a few deep breaths, and I ate a meal of matsutake and chicken hotpot to cheer me up. If my stomach is not full, how can the years be quiet? hehe!
Here is a picture of the rugged mountain road of Gaoersi Mountain 7 years ago. It is really a mountain road. Dad Qi almost became an adventure book!
Going forward with anxiety, the 318 road along the way has taken on a new look. The road is opened when encountering mountains, and bridges are built when encountering water. A standard road winds among the mountains.
Dad Qi is still worried. There is a tunnel in front of him. It is the Gaoersi Mountain Tunnel that was still under construction. , greatly saving time and distance
Yajiang is a low-altitude depression at 318 to enter Tibet. Yajiang County is 2,600 meters above sea level, which is almost the lowest place on the Sichuan-Tibet Road. Therefore, many first-time visitors to Tibet generally choose to adapt to Yajiang on the first night, and we are no exception. Yajiang County is located in a canyon area, and the entire county is only one street, and 318 passes through the city.
West Sichuan went west out of the Yajiang River and walked along the valley. I don’t know how many turns. The AutoNavi navigation on the car suddenly said, "You have gone through all the detours today, and life will be smooth from now on." Weilai, I am walking on the 18th bend of Tianlu. When I reach the top of the mountain, I quickly take a photo. The 18th bend of Tianlu
Scissors Bend Mountain, a natural viewing platform of snow-capped mountains, here is the stage of snow-capped mountains and blue sky and white clouds. Large groups of clouds are chasing and flying in the air. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. The sky does not move, the clouds do not move, and the mountains do not move. Moving and not moving are all landscapes.
Xiong Zongka at an altitude of 4,281 meters, Qi's mother searched for the memories of the year all the way, time flies, turn around seven years, how many seven years can life have? The green hills remain the same, and the green water flows forever, but time flies like a white horse, and things have changed in the blink of an eye. Change and change are all caused by cause and effect. Cherish the moment, because whether you like it or not, the earth will turn around with you every day! In life, the only constant is change itself.
Touch the clouds that I touched back then
make a wish
Blow the wind that blows
Look at the people who saw it back then. After 30 days of sun and moon essence, just like this, Dad Qi has successfully dried into a Tibetan compatriot! Thinking of Haitian Soy Sauce's advertising slogan "dry every bottle of soy sauce with heart", Dad Qi is undoubtedly very hardworking! Ha ha
On the Kazila Mountain at 4718 meters, the meadow is covered with wild flowers, and the big clouds dance with the mountains. As far as the eye can see, the soul is released. ! just had a headache all day
Seeing the wild flowers blooming wantonly on the plateau, Qi's father had a whim, and wanted Qi's mother to lie on the carpet-like wildflower meadow, with snow-capped mountains, mountains, sky, flowing clouds, flowers, and girls. . How beautiful it is! After the filming was over, Qi's mother said, "Why do you want to send me away?" Reply: "Bah!" Leave!
After wandering around the plateau mountains close to 5,000 meters for a few hours, I suddenly encountered a city with a majestic gate and a golden plaque in the middle with the words "Litang, the highest city in the world", and I woke up instantly. This is not the city in the sky, the hometown of Ding Zhen—— Litang! Quickly pulled Qi Xiaobao out of the car who was still confused and took a photo. Qi Xiaobao, who had had enough rest, was full of energy and jumped out of the car! Hurry up, this is Litang at an altitude of 4014 meters! hehe!
Just entered the plateau area, and the altitude of 4000+ made Qi’s father traveling with his baby really worried. It’s hard for children to say what happened at such an altitude. Safety is the most important thing, so we just walked through the city without reason. Make more stops in Tang County. In the past two years, Litang has become famous because of the birth of Ding Zhen. Many boys and girls have come here especially for this, which has brought great development to Litang's tourism market. In fact, there is another more important historical figure in Litang, namely Liu The Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso, this romantic poet always has a touch of sadness in his verses, but it is the affectionate verses of "the world is safe with both dharmas, and you will live up to the Tathagata and not to your dear ones," which has moved countless people. human heart.
Continue along 318, the Litang River flows slowly, with green grass and wild flowers blooming on both sides of the river
Parked the car on the side of the road, and left Qi's mother who was "happy to improve and rebel" in the car to inhale oxygen to continue her life. Qi's father took Qi Xiaobao to the valley. The river with water has always been Qi Xiaobao's favorite. Hearing that he was going down the river, his face was full of joy, and he made great strides! Forget about the high altitude
After tossing on the plateau, I was obviously thin and dark. This time I understand why there are no too fat people on the plateau. With this oxygen content, it is good to be able to live a normal life, and it is unlikely to be too obese
The plateau scenery around Litang can be said to have no scenic spots, but it is full of scenic spots. As far as the eye can see, there are beautiful scenery, just taking a photo on the side of the road is a blockbuster, this is also the charm of 318, if you have some scenery, circle it around and collect the ticket, maybe there will be no more famous 318 in the world
318 Passing through the Wuliang River Wetland, there are herds of cows and horses, the river twists and turns, and the snow-capped mountains and peaks are looming in the distance, so beautiful in the world
Find a beautiful place to park, and the car will become a scenery
The wild flowers all over the mountains and plains here made Qi's mother, who is not good at dancing, start to dance
On the way, a snow-capped mountain not far away came into view. There was no grass on this snow-capped mountain, which formed a great contrast with the green grassland next to it. Dad Qi thought to himself, this is Haizi Mountain!
After several turns, the unique scenery of Haizi Mountain appears in front of you. Haizi Mountain, located between Litang and Daocheng, is named for the large number of lakes scattered on the mountain. The main peak, Guoyinri, is 5,020 meters above sea level, with as many as 1,145 lakes. The two sister lakes are the most famous. Also known as Lover's Lake, it is like two blue tears of snow-capped mountains.
Under the snow peak, for millions of years, they have cuddled and watched each other, never leaving, and guarding the plateau together. If you have just bid farewell to Litang and have not met Daocheng yet, when you pass by Haizi Mountain, the Haizi Mountain, which is barren of grass as far as you can see, may make you feel sad. The lake appears in front of your eyes, maybe you will rekindle hope for the road ahead! Turn the corner and meet love! Believe that the beauty that belongs to you will meet you eventually! Travel is like this, so is life?
Mother Qi's love is in her hands! The mother and son, with their backs facing the mountains and lakes like a fairyland, expressed their love! When Qi Xiaobao grew up, he often told his parents that I love you, "I love you!" These three words have also become the inherent routine of the little guy before going to bed every day. We always believe that there is love, there is love, and knowing love should be a compulsory course in life. People with a rich heart know how to love themselves and know how to love others.
Qi Ma looks at the Lover's Sea under the afterglow of the setting sun. The quiet and sacred atmosphere here makes people feel peaceful. The lake water is like a mirror, silently reflecting the snow-capped mountains, reflecting the sky, reflecting every cloud passing by, reflecting Reflecting the passers-by who come and go in a hurry like us.
Before sunset, we bid farewell to Haizi Mountain and Lover Lake, and continued our westward journey, and arrived at today’s destination, Batang County, in the dark. Batang, like the Yajiang River, belongs to the depression along the 318 line. It is at an altitude of about 2500 meters in Batang. It is said to be the most suitable resting place for a day's work on the plateau.
Batang County is the westernmost county under the jurisdiction of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. It borders Mangkang County in Chamdo, Tibet Autonomous Region. When we arrived in Batang, we also completed the journey of the 318 West Sichuan route. West Sichuan is not Tibet, but it is better than Tibet. All the way The beautiful scenery soothes the soul, and there is a reluctant nostalgia along the way!
The next stop is to cross the Jinsha River and officially start the journey into Tibet.
