Years of passionš„
Studying in Xinjiang, I used to yearn for the life of walking around the world with a sword. I like to feel the speed and wind on the road. When I came up with the idea of āāmotorcycle travel, this obsession took root in my heart. I always feel that if I donāt do it, I will have regrets in my heart. . So at the end of my junior year, I bought a second-hand motorcycle and set off from Urumqi back to Dali.
route
Before departure
Because I am not registered in Urumqi, I canāt get a license for a new car, and itās my first motorcycle trip, and I donāt know much about motorcycles (motorcycle driving experience is 2 years). I was worried that the car would not be repaired if it broke down on the road, so I bought a second-hand one The motorcycle šļø, the price is not expensive (actually, if it really breaks down halfway, just throw it away š)
šThe departure time is July 2018, just at the end of the junior year. The motorcycle license is a temporary license after the transfer, and the validity period is 30 days.
šItems to be prepared: side bag (about 200 yuan), single raincoat (with pants that can be worn directly on the body), cycling suit (about 800), helmet, reflective strips (attached to the body when driving at night), knee pads, gloves
šI feel that the most difficult problem encountered on the road is the problem of refueling. In Xinjiang and Qinghai, not all gas stations refuel motorcycles. Only designated gas stations refuel motorcycles. I will talk about this later.
Day1 Urumqi - Korla
Years of passionš„
From Urumqi to Korla, starting from Urumqi at 16:00, and then refueling for the first time in the north of Kumishi, and then it started to wind and rain, and the second refueling was in the service area 11km away from Korla, about 12 o'clock in the evening When we arrived in Korla, we took the high speed for the whole journey, almost 470 kilometers.
Day2 Korla-Ruoqiang
I heard that Ruoqiang produced a Loulan beauty. She came out of Korla at 13:00. The first refueling was at the 31st regiment gas station. After that, it was a 300-kilometer no-manās land. I ran out of gas at a place about 70km away from Ruoqiang. Then I just met the road. The policeman on patrol, and then waited in the police car for more than an hour. The policeman bought a barrel of oil to fill it up for me. Thank you very muchš. Ruoqiang arrived at 21 o'clock in the evening. I finally know what is rain mixed with sandš·
Day3 Ruoqiang - Mangya
When Ruoqiang arrived at Mangya, the first refueling was in the 36th regiment. The road was broken by the mud river on the way, and then he fell, and the video of the wrestling could not be uploaded. After that, he passed through the coast of Lop Nur and the Altun Mountain. There was no one for 300 kilometers. District, it rained on the way, and the road was being repaired along the way. The road condition was poor and the weather was cold. Then I arrived at Mangya Town to replenish oil (the oil was almost not enough š), and then the entire county of Mangya was cut off from electricity, water, and heating, which was a pain. One day, Mangya was an oil town, but now there are very few people.
Day4 Mangya - Golmud
From Mangya to Golmud, I woke up in the morning and got altitude sickness on my motorcycle. It took me half an hour to ignite the ignition (the leg was about to break š) I passed 3 gas stations on the way, one was Laomanya, after Laomanya passed, it was about every 150 kilometers There is a gas station, more than 400 kilometers of uninhabited land, all of which are deserts and neighbors, passing through several salt lakes on the way, the weather is sunny, but the wind is strong, and it is slightly cold to ride. All are national roads.
Day5 Golmud - Dawu (Guoluo)
From Geer to Maqin, Maqin is a county, and Dawu is equivalent to its county seat.
Departed from Golmud in the morning, then got on the expressway, was stopped, tossed back and forth for nearly 60 kilometers, then walked along National Highway 109, after walking for more than 300 kilometers, found that there was no other way to Maqin except the expressway, and then forced to break through the card from Xiangxiang Japan and Germany got on the expressway (I was still afraid at the time, so I rushed up from the far right while the toll collector was collecting other car fees. After getting on the expressway, I found that the Dema Expressway had not been repaired. It was more than 300 kilometers, and there was no one At the gas station, I ran out of gas at a place 30 kilometers away from Maqin, and stopped a car later. There was a Tibetan uncle who helped me stop two Tibetan brothers, and then put the car in the cargo of the brother's car In the box, I came back like this, thank you uncle š, after that, the little brother drove me carefully all the way to Maqinās gas station, and then left without anything, touched, thank you š, otherwise I would still suffer on the mountain Frozen. Speaking of the Dema Expressway, the road conditions are the worst highways I have ever seen. There is no one. The frozen soil section can make the car fly. The average altitude is above 4000m. I wear 4 clothes and it is also cold ( Maqin is also cold š·), but the scenery on the road from Xiangride to Maqin is indeed beautiful. Passing through the Nianbaoyuze Reserve, there are parking spaces for viewing scenery along the highway, and some scenery can only be seen on the highway (because there are no build roads to those places), after arriving in Maqin, I found that Maqin is a place suitable for taking pictures of the starry sky
Day6 Dawu-Maerkang
Get on the expressway first, get off the expressway in Jiuzhi County, then enter Aba, Sichuan, and then on the way from Aba to Maerkang, the motorcycle hits the accelerator (that is, the accelerator will not automatically return), a little panic š°, the speed slows down, and the scenery along the way It is very beautiful, there are grasslands and high mountains. Later, when I went to Malkang to repair my motorcycle, I found that the carburetor was full of sand (wrestling in Ruoqiang). Malkang was built along the river, so it is a long and narrow county. The night sky in Malkang is also beautiful.
Day7 Maerkang-Kangding
From Maerkang to Kangding, traffic control was encountered on the road, and it was raining later. There were many curves, and the speed was not as fast as in Xinjiang and Qinghai. During the waiting time of the traffic control, I met a little brother of Baoyuze who was hiking, a sophomore š, had a hot pot with him in the evening, and chatted a lot
Day8 Kangding-Dechang
I met two girls from Chengdu on the road today (I thought it was an old man and a girl before, but I found out that they were two girls when I was refueling) riding a scooter to play, and they came over such a bad road, itās really amazing šReally couragešThe road conditions are very poor, with light rain, slippery roads, and many curves. But the scenery of Langshan is very beautiful
Day9 Dechang to Dali
Dechang came out, passed by Panzhihua, and then headed home in the direction of Yongsheng. The road conditions were poor, it was raining lightly, there were many curves, it slipped several times, and the car almost rolled over.
