Today is April 20th, the 15th day of self-driving Tibet.
Today's plan is to start from Suo County, take National Highway 317, pass Baqing, Dingqing to Changdu, and visit Zizhu Temple along the way.
Starting from Suo County, continue on National Highway 317. After leaving Suo County, the car drove in the vast snow-capped mountains, from Suo County to Baqing, and then to Dingqing. The whole trip took more than four hours, and the car has been driving in the continuous snow-capped mountains, just like driving in a fairy tale world.
Let yourself go in the snow of Kabu Kamiyama.
After two o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at Dingqing, and followed the navigation to the famous temple on National Highway 317~~Zizhu Temple. The landform here is a mountain with sharp teeth. The car shuttles through the steep canyon and turns into a gravel and zigzag mountain road. It is about 13 kilometers away to reach Zizhu Temple. Zizhu Temple has a history of nearly 3,000 years. It was built on a cliff at an altitude of 4,800 meters. Because Zizhu Temple is known as the City of the Sky, it is also known as the Temple of the Sky. When we were about to reach the top of the mountain by car, it snowed heavily in the sky. After a while, the mountains were covered with white snow. When we came to the top of the mountain, we saw that the temple was built between the crevices of the stones and the cliffs, like stones, wood, and weathered rocks. It was amazing. Because we were worried that heavy snow would freeze the road down the mountain, we decided to go down the mountain without staying for a long time for safety reasons. Whose mountain is under the sky is clear.
Zizhu Temple is built on a cliff at an altitude of 4,800 meters.
Going to the half-mountain of Zizhu Temple, we met these elves.
Farewell to Zizhu Temple, we continue to travel to Chengdu and live in Qamdo tonight.
