Long-distance self-driving is not an instant trip
Instead, after various repeated designs and careful preparations
However, many times, on the road, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, or even your mood.
Friendly reminder: Do not drive while fatigued! Don't drive late! fasten your seatbelt!

Review of last issue
First of all, I am sorry, the last issue is over, and I am planning this itinerary丨Shanghai-Jiangxi-Xiang-Qian-Chongqing-Sichuan-Hubei-Huizhou-Shanghai丨
When I was in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, there was an earthquake in Jiuzhaigou. In the following days, my family and friends urged me to go home all day, so the 20-day itinerary was shortened to 14 days, and the subsequent itinerary was abandoned. Friendly reminder, although this trip is 5,800 kilometers, compared with the previous trip of nearly 9,000 kilometers, this time is much more tiring, much more tiring! Because it's all mountain roads
The link below is the previous strategy, if you are interested, you can read it
Self-driving tour of China from Shanghai I丨Shanghai-Henan-Shaanxi-Gansu-Qing-Ning-Mongolia-Beijing-Wing-Tianjin-Lu-Shanghai丨 (Super detailed graphic guide)
http://you.ctrip.com/travels/dunhuang8/3659899.html
This picture was taken the day before the Jiuzhaigou earthquake
May the disaster area be reborn as soon as possible, and may everything in the world be beautiful
Expense list: The total cost of the whole journey is about 15,400 yuan (14 days, 2 people, about 5,800 kilometers)
1. Food and others: about 3,000 yuan (the cost varies from person to person)
2. Accommodation: 3431 yuan, 13 nights, an average of 264 yuan per day
3. Travel: about 3,000 yuan for tolls and about 3,000 yuan for fuel
4. Tickets: 3060 yuan
Remarks: Most of the accommodation on this trip is the chain brand Hanting/Jiji in each city. The rest of the inns/hotels are lost due to the loss of the notebook and cannot be remembered, so I will not elaborate
Take dreams as horses and live up to Zhaohua!
Set off!
Day 1: Depart from Shanghai, stay on the road all day, and stay at Hanting in Yichun City at night
Important Note: The original plan was to go to Lushan Mountain first, but on the day of going out, it rained all day in the Jiangnan area. I checked the weather in Jiujiang and Lushan Mountain, and it was quite bad, so I gave up this idea decisively and went straight to Miao Village. Yes, so I settled in Yichun City at around 18:00 on the way. After all, the principle is not to drive or rush at night! Plan B was to leave Mount Lushan on the last return trip, but after an earthquake, he was urged to go home by his family, but he still didn’t go to Mount Lushan.
Day 2: Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang (sunset and night view). Overnight in Miao Village Inn
I was on the road the same day and arrived in Miao Village at 16:00. But don’t worry, there is a big time difference between day and night in summer, just in time for the sun to go down the mountain, and there are performances at night, the lights all over the mountain are equally charming
Notes for Miao Village: Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang is the largest village inhabited by Miao people in China and even in the world. As a world heritage site, it has become more and more popular these years. The outermost gates of the Miao Village are being refurbished, and there is a commercial street with an "ancient town" atmosphere along the road, and there are intentions to continue to expand on both sides. Only when you actually come to the ticket gate and get on the scenic sightseeing bus to take you to the viewing platform and get off at the viewing platform, can you count as having arrived at the Miao Village. When you take a look out from the viewing platform, you will see villages and villages. The roads inside are very intricate, and all kinds of paths can be cut through. Regardless of food and accommodation, the overall consumption is not high. Don't be too "princess sick" for accommodation, just calm down, and bring mosquito repellent and insect repellent. After all, this place is built on the mountain, and all kinds of "Pokémon" will come and go at will. After all, the Spiderman here is the biggest I have ever seen face to face. To buy the ethnic characteristic decorations here, go to a licensed regular store to buy them
It feels like this gate is "newly built".

These pictures were taken at 19:00, and the sky is about to start getting dark
"Wanjia Lights", the particularly bright square on the left of the middle is the place to watch the performance at night
On the third day, Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. Overnight at Hanting in Guiyang
The Miao Village in the early morning is quiet, like a young girl. Therefore, the riverside is full of girls taking pictures of famous ethnic costumes
very quiet in the morning
The first ray of sunlight shines into the inn, and the heroine appears dimly
After a while, it will be dawn, let’s go, take pictures by the river

It costs 10 yuan to rent clothes, and the deposit is paid separately. Choose a set and wear it wherever you want. There is no time limit.
On the fourth day, Huangguoshu Scenic Area. Overnight at a hotel in Dushan County (this place is closer to Xiaoqikong)
At 8:30, Huangguoshu Scenic Area. where is the road
Notes for Huangguoshu Scenic Area: It is difficult to park by car. I parked in the "parking lot" solicited by others on the side of the road, which is diagonally opposite the ticket office, about 50 meters away. As for tickets, to be honest, Guizhou is really good. When I went there, several scenic spots in Guizhou province gave discounts to foreign tourists. The reason is probably because other provinces and cities have rewarded the construction here. There are bulletin boards in scenic spots. , the most impressive Hangzhou tourists hold their own ID cards for free, and Shanghai is half-price tickets. If you buy tickets, you need to buy a ticket. There are 2 tickets. One is a sightseeing bus and the other is a taxi. You have to check the ticket. You can’t get in by car. The scenic spots are scattered far away, so you need to take a car to dispatch. There are three main scenic spots, Tianxing Bridge, Doupo Pond, and Great Waterfall. Friendly reminder: Be careful not to get the lens wet when taking pictures close to the waterfall, otherwise there will be "a little bit" on the photos taken
Core Scenic Spot: Great Falls
This is the waterfall I dreamed of seeing as a child

Huangguoshu’s day-long leisurely tour ended at around 15:00 in the afternoon, and then I drove to the direction of Xiaoqikong. When it was getting dark, I got off the expressway in Dushan County and found a hotel for accommodation. It was 2 miles away from Xiaoqikong. It’s an hour’s drive. It’s okay to plan to leave before 7:00 tomorrow morning. The principle is that you don’t drive at night and don’t hurry
On the fifth day, Zhijin Cave and Xiaoqi Cave were not completed. Overnight at Hanting in Guiyang
Early in the morning, set off, arrived at Xiaoqikong at 8:30, and Xiaoqikong was renovated! ! ! Please enter from Daqikong Scenic Area as a friendly reminder from the scenic spot signs. The distance between the two places is very far. It takes more than half an hour to drive. There are various constructions on the road, and the road is very difficult. Many vehicles coming to Xiaoqikong are blocked. In the end, I finally got to Daqikong, parked the car and went to the ticket office. Wow, there are so many people! The electronic screen of the scenic spot shows that the passenger flow is currently at full capacity on that day, and there is no notice of ticket sales, ticket sales time, etc. Many people who have bought tickets cannot enter, and the scene is chaotic! So make a quick decision, dodge immediately, leave, goodbye, and go straight to the Zhijin Cave. Knowing such a situation, I lived in Guiyang City yesterday! There are all kinds of ever-changing situations during the journey, so be calm. For me, Xiaoqikong is a place that I have planned for many years and have always wanted to go, but this time I have arrived at the door, but I still haven’t made it. Sometimes fate is really unclear
At 15:00, Zhijin Cave. Known as "the return of the Five Sacred Mountains does not look at the mountains, and there is no cave outside the Zhijin Cave"
Precautions for Zhijin Cave: The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cave is large, so don’t freeze it in summer. I’m honestly very cold in short sleeves! Because this is the king of caves in China, there is no one, the inside is very big, and you need to stay for a long time! The play time is 1.5 hours in the cave! It is difficult to take pictures in the cave and requires technical support, otherwise most of the photos taken are very ordinary, such as me. In addition, I don’t take pictures or look at my mobile phone while walking, otherwise my head will be mounted on the wall, which will really hurt. The scenery in the cave is in various poses and with different expressions, lifelike, majestic, uncanny workmanship...not flattery, the truth

Looking up, I was really worried that one would fall off, and I was terrified when I thought about it carefully.

On the sixth day, Hongya Cave. Overnight stay in the whole season in Chongqing
After a good night's sleep, I woke up very late, and then wandered off to the mountain city of Chongqing. Friendly reminder, driving in Chongqing is all based on feeling. I just found out that the house on the right is the first floor, but it turns out that the house on the left is the roof
The original plan was to go to Chengdu, but I went to Jiuzhaigou via Chengdu, but I chose to come to Chongqing to eat hot pot. That's just such a mistake, otherwise the landslide in Mao County may just happen to happen, and we still have to detour back to this road
At 16 o'clock, today's Internet celebrity holy place, "Hongya Cave" on Douyin
Later, I carefully reviewed the itinerary. It was really because of the hot pot meal that I happened to avoid the landslide, but the hot pot is really spicy.

On the seventh day, on the road, the mountains kept spinning. Stay overnight at a hotel near Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
From Chongqing to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, after leaving the expressway, go along National Highway 212, Provincial Highway 301, Jingwen County, Jiuzhaigou County, and drive for 10 hours to the destination Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. The road conditions are mostly mountain roads, two lanes facing each other back and forth, and cement roads. Take turns driving to avoid fatigue, after all, there is a cliff outside the isolation zone. Arrive at the main entrance of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area at around 18:00. The hotel we stayed in is a 10-minute walk from the main entrance and there is a parking space. Tickets were bought in advance on Ctrip and delivered to our hotel that night. Everything is ready, eat and sleep, Jiuzhaigou, see you tomorrow
Like the previous issue, it is still the protagonist's car! I want to upload some videos along the road. It seems that I need some codes. I can’t get them.
On the eighth day, Jiuzhaigou. Stay overnight at a hotel near Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area
At 6:30, queue up at the gate of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area to enter, the lights are still on, and the sky is not yet fully lit
Precautions for Jiuzhaigou: At present, most of the Jiuzhaigou Raiders are before the earthquake. So I won't describe it either. After all, the post-earthquake planning may be different from before, for fear of misleading everyone. One thing is certain, the Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area has repeatedly emphasized that accommodation is not allowed in the scenic area, the purpose is to protect the ecology, so don't take chances or other ideas, please respect the rules of the game, so that you don't lose more than you gain. In addition, it will be very cold when entering the scenic spot in the morning. I was in short sleeves and shorts in August, and it was so cold! ! (It laid the groundwork for my slight high reaction and fever that appeared the next day)
At 6:30, the lights at the entrance of the scenic spot were still on, and queues had already begun, short sleeves and shorts, and I froze to death
In the hazy, opened the beautiful picture appreciation mode, pure natural
The last picture is where the colors of the water meet
"Look up Zhangjiajie, bow down Jiuzhaigou", well-deserved reputation! After all, "this scene should only exist in the sky", no matter how much you say, it is better to see it with your own eyes
On the ninth day, Huanglong Scenic Area. Overnight at a hotel in Pingwu County
At 10:30, Huanglong. The weather was bad, and it rained suddenly. It takes 2 and a half hours to drive between Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. Generally, these two places are bundled tours (xiao) and viewing (shou).
Notes for Huanglong: In addition to tickets, you can also buy a round-trip cableway ticket (both up and down take the cableway at the same place), and those with ideas can walk up and down. Walking is not recommended, take the ropeway obediently. The fundamental reason is that there is altitude here, and excessive fatigue is prone to weakness, and weakness may lead to high reaction. Also, the attraction is beautiful, really beautiful, but so one-dimensional! ! What needs serious complaints is that after the cableway comes up, it takes about half an hour to walk to the scenic spot on the map, which is also the only scenic spot. It circles the colorful pool, and then takes the cableway back the same way. It takes 3 hours to go back and forth, just to see A glance at the colorful pool
Take a photo of tourists
I left Huanglong at 13:30, and it was a tragedy. I gave myself a song "Cool". Before wearing too little clothes in Jiuzhaigou, I was cold and cold, and my body was very weak. Then, after such a wave in the rainy day of Huanglong, my body was completely broken. I had a headache, um, it was a sign of high fever. I touched my head, um, I looked like I had a fever. . This is nothing, because, in this state, I encountered a super traffic jam! Today is August 7th, County Road 120, 100 kilometers, drove for 7 hours. But there is a reason for this, because a high mountain landslide occurred in Mao County on August 6, and National Highway 213 was buried by the landslide, so most of the vehicles from Chengdu to Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou were diverted to County Highway 120! A brief introduction to County Road 120: mountain roads, bad roads, no lane lines, no guardrails, only one-way driving for a period of time, and several turning points where the tourist bus can’t turn, so you need to back up and pull it before turning, and the tail of the bus The chassis would hit the road. It was just such a distance, and it was raining again. I just rely on willpower to get by in the car, which is really something I will remember in my life. (In fact, the original plan was to stay in Guang'an City)
In the evening at the hotel next to the Pingwu County Government, I bought rhodiola and took medicine to sleep
Day two, rebirth
On the tenth day, on the road. Overnight at Hanting in Icheon
Due to yesterday's heavy traffic jam and physical discomfort, the original deployment was disrupted. But when I realized it was dawn, I left relatively late, and I came back full of energy. After half a day's drive, not far from Enshi City, I chose a relatively large city for dinner and accommodation. However, I put my phone away at night, and just after I fell asleep, "Dingling, Dingling"! "Hello?" "How is your place? Where are you!" "What's the matter?" "Jiuzhaigou was hit by an earthquake, where are you?" "Oh, I just left the area of Jiuzhaigou yesterday." Then, report safety and go to bed
First, No. 6 Maoxian landslide
Another 7.0 earthquake in Jiuzhaigou on the 8th
May God bless the people here
On the eleventh day, Enshi Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Overnight at a hotel in Xinglong Town, Fengjie County
At 8:30, Enshi Grand Canyon ----- "The Grand Canyon of the East"
Enshi Grand Canyon Notes: The Grand Canyon scenic spot is divided into 2 signature scenic spots, don't get confused, first is the "Yunlong Ground Fissure" scenic spot, and then the "Seven Star Village" scenic spot, one is underground and the other is on the mountain. Looking at the cracks in the ground on the mountain is very spectacular, just think about how the earth is divided like this! Then I looked back at the foot of the mountain, wow, such a domineering barrier! There are tiankengs, ground fissures, karst caves, dark rivers, peaks, cliffs... and a very long downhill escalator (elevator)
The cracks in the ground are actually very obvious from the mountain
This is the fissure, the cracked earth
The seam is more obvious in this picture! There is an escalator-style elevator next to it, and you need to buy a ticket, which is very helpless
Signboard of Qixingzhai: a stick of incense

It feels like it was "split" by the "Ancient God", and it looks neat
Looking back at the bottom, take a photo
On the twelfth day, Tiankeng Dixie Scenic Area. Overnight at Hanting in Jingzhou City
At 8:30, Xiaozhai Tiankeng (Fengjie), the largest "tiankeng" in the world
Precautions for Tiankeng and Ground Fissure Scenic Area: First of all, let me explain that the Tiankeng here refers to the Tiankeng in Fengjie County, which is a separate scenic spot. The ground seam refers to the not far away (15 minutes by car), the Tianjingxia ground seam, which is also a separate scenic spot. Collectively known as: Tiankeng Diseam Scenic Area. In addition, it should be noted that there is also a "tiankeng and ground seam" in Wulong County in Chongqing City, which is easy to confuse. Xiaozhai Tiankeng in Fengjie County is more primitive, so primitive that there is nothing inside, except for the ticket office at the entrance, the entrance and exit inside and the water supply in the middle, there is nothing else. The tiankeng in Wulong is more modern. After all, it is close to the city and has better supporting facilities, so most of them now go to the one in Wulong. If you want to see something more original come here. Friendly reminder, at least 3 hours back and forth, you must be mentally prepared, you will be very tired, very tired, very tired
The "book" at the door briefly introduces the "No. 1 Pit in the World"
Looking at it from a distance, the crooked curve in the middle is the only way to go down. Coming back is going back the same way, very desperate
When I walked to the end, there was nothing, just a "hole" where the water came out and a toilet next to it. Did you see me at the door of the toilet? Such a small one, you will know how big the hole is. It is said that there are many dark rivers inside, so since the 20th century, explorers from various research groups at home and abroad have teamed up to visit
Well, look up, you're a "frog in a well"
Take a photo of tourists
Thirteenth day, Yellow Crane Tower. Overnight at Hanting in Wuhan
15:30, Yellow Crane Tower, "the first building in the world"
Notes for the Yellow Crane Tower: Over the past hundred years, it has been repeatedly built and abandoned, and it has been repeatedly abandoned and rebuilt. Therefore, it is better to understand the history of Wuhan before visiting the Yellow Crane Tower. The Yellow Crane Tower we see now was rebuilt in the 1980s. In the scenic area, you can ask the tour guide to explain it, it’s good
On the wall is what we all read and recited in elementary school, Cui Hao's masterpiece, "People in the past have gone there by yellow crane..."
Looking at the overall situation from the top of the tower
Overlooking the First Bridge of the Yangtze River---Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge
On the fourteenth day, on the road. Overnight stay in the "luxury bed" at home
Leaving early in the morning, a little helpless, alas, there is no way
home, i'm back
End, (As for any questions, welcome to leave a message to discuss and supplement)
The original plan of this trip was to visit the Shennongjia Scenic Area after the Enshi Grand Canyon, then go to Jiujiang via Wuhan, visit Lushan Mountain, and then pass Jingdezhen---Huangshan Mountain (continue to visit the mountain if you have physical strength), and return to Shanghai. However, after the earthquake, family and friends called every day to urge you to go home, so it is a pity to give up the schedule after the earthquake, but we must also respect those who love you and care about you.
After returning from this trip, I concluded that there are really too many "metaphysics" in life that are not clear
If it didn’t rain on the day of departure, I will definitely play in Lushan Mountain for two days as originally planned, and then I may encounter landslides or earthquakes (more metaphysics is that on the highway on the day of departure, a total of 5 cars in the two lanes in front collided with each other. In front of us, our brakes stopped, and the rear car BMW almost rear-ended us)
If the Xiaoqikong is not repaired in the future, it will take a day and a half to play, and then there may be landslides or earthquakes (Xiaoqikong has been talking about it for many years, and it has been planned many times, but it still hasn’t happened. I really don’t understand the reason. )
If I had chosen to go to Jiuzhaigou via Chengdu (almost the same distance as via Chongqing) in Guizhou at that time, if it wasn’t for the hot pot meal, then there might have been landslides or earthquakes (I listened to Zhao Lei’s Chengdu all the way, but I didn’t go there for no reason) Chengdu to Chongqing)
If... I really think about it carefully, there are too many things in life that I can't explain clearly.
But as long as you have a dream, let’s go, the most beautiful scenery is on the road
There are some things we will never do if we don’t do them now
If we do not get crazy now, we're going to grow old

Since I have had an ultra-long-distance self-driving tour before, it is easy to prepare before departure this time. Regarding the equipment and various items that need to be carried for the self-driving tour, you can refer to my self-driving tour Ⅰ in the previous issue. The graphic description in it is very detailed.
