In the past year, I have been a bit busy. I was forced to stop because of the epidemic, and the impact of fleeting things around me. Just go as far as you think you can go, of course, in a safe situation. After experiencing the epidemic, it seems that there are inexplicably higher requirements for chasing scenery, life and travel.
No longer start out for meaningless travel, I hope that after going out, I will bring back a different self from the time I started, instead of becoming an ordinary "visit here" in my life.
During the 14-day itinerary, we started from Chengdu by self-driving, passed through Xichang, Panzhihua, and Dali; went to Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Laomudeng, Bingzhongluo, crossed the Bingcha line; arrived in Tibet, and walked through Bomi , Nyingchi, Lhasa, and Hoh Xil; then arrived in Xining, Qinghai, and completed the Sichuan-Yunnan-Tibet-Qinghai Ring Road.
D1-D2 Itinerary: Chengdu - Mianning - Miyi - Panzhihua - Dali
"The wind comes from far away, so it doesn't matter if we go and see."
In the early morning, the team leader came to pick me up at the appointed time, and then went to pick up other friends who were traveling together. After everyone gathered, a very interesting departure ceremony was held. The team leader presented khata to everyone, and wished the journey a smooth journey.
At noon, after passing Xichang, go to Mianning to eat special stone-ground bean curd. The tender bean curd that has just been served is smooth, tender and hot. Put a small piece in the dipping plate and roll it gently. The freshness of the bean curd and the spicy seasoning are intertwined. It melts with a sip, and with the rice, every mouthful is full of the tenderness of the bean curd and the rich spicy flavor of all the seasonings.
"The yellow loquats are the taste of early summer"
When we arrived in Miyi County, the air was fresh and the sun was shining brightly. After a short mountain road, we entered the orchard, picked loquats by ourselves, experienced the rural life of the farm, escaped the hustle and bustle of urban life, and gained more leisure and comfort.
Although it is already sunset and the sun is shining, there is a cool breeze in the mountains, and there are bursts of fragrance, refreshing and comfortable. Small courtyards and villages are in order, and everyone laughs and laughs in the countryside. Tasting the yellow loquats picked by hand is the taste of early summer.
"A flower is a city, and a city is a flower."
Finally arrived at this sunny flower city, it was really warm like spring, the pedestrians on the street were all in short clothes and shorts, looking at what I was wearing, it was as if I had traveled through time, it was so unreal. After dropping off our luggage at the hotel, we went to a nearby night market for dinner.
In the early morning of the next day, I packed up my luggage and prepared to set off from Panzhihua to Dali. Today, I finally got a good look at the morning scenery of Huacheng. The streets are full of blooming blue flowers, with blue-purple crowns on top of each plant. quietly growing in every corner of the city.
"Shangguan wind, Xiaguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon"
When I woke up, I was already in Dali City, and the wind blew into the car, pulling me back to 2015. I was 18 years old when I first came here, and now I can still vividly remember the beauty of the sun shining on my shoulders. When I came to Dali this time, I had another feeling of the passage of time.
When mentioning Dali, there is a saying that Dali is known as the four sceneries of wind, flowers, snow and moon, the wind in Shangguan, the flowers in Xiaguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain and the moon in Erhai Lake. The words "wind, flowers, snow and moon" have become the key words of Dali. The inn we stayed in is Erhai Moon Wetland Park in front of the door. Looking from the balcony of the room, watching the blue waves of Erhai Lake and hearing the fragrance of birds and flowers everywhere, it is only at this moment that we can really relax our body and mind.
On the way from the inn to the ancient city, the background music is "To Dali". What's interesting is that the weather has changed in countless ways for only a 13-kilometer road, with light rain for a section, heavy rain for a section, and strong sunshine for a section...
"Are you dissatisfied with life/I haven't laughed for a long time and I don't know why/Since I am unhappy and I don't like this place/It's better to go all the way west to Dali/Maybe love is waiting at the Erhai Lake/Maybe the story is happening/Pick up the Courage crushed by time/Let your feet be covered with fragrant mud"
The ancient city of Dali seems small, and it still takes a long time to stroll around. There are shops along the street, and vendors selling snacks, no different from any commercial street in a tourist attraction. For me, it is a scenic spot just to pass the time. It seems that "too commercial" has become a unified answer for everyone.
In Dali, you can buy roasted milk fans everywhere you go on the street. Everyone is curious about the taste of roasted milk fans. I bought a bunch of them to try. It tastes strange, and no one is used to it.
The weather in the ancient city also changes a lot. There is always a sudden heavy rain, and it comes and goes quickly. Eating chicken feet in the ancient city, avoiding a shower, and slowly strolling until dusk, the ancient city became more beautiful after the rain, and the sky turned crimson pink. This is the most pleasant moment of the day in Dali.
"A life that is not perfunctory towards eating is probably a manifestation of seriousness in life~"
When night fell, we set out to have dinner with the team leader, and came to a special hand-picked rice. It was an amazing dinner. The green leaves were used as a tray, and a table full of dishes was comparable to a full banquet. The dishes followed the fried, grilled, and grilled dishes of hand-picked rice. All kinds of dishes tasted rich in layers, satisfying different people's desire for food , a large table of delicious food is enough to soothe the hard work of the day. It may be because you eat very satisfyingly when you are hungry. During the journey, the sense of happiness given by delicious food will be magnified many times invisibly.
After dinner, go back to the inn and go to the roof garden to watch the night view. The human fireworks are shattered in the cold starlight, and the delicate and intoxicating beauty blends into the night of Dali. The night of Dali has the most gentle side of Dali.
This morning, we will depart from Dali for Laomuden. In the early morning, we will go to the roof garden of the inn. When we climb to the roof, we will see the green leaves and plants shining in the sunlight, which is so beautiful. Dali is a city where everything can be bathed in sunshine, thank you for bringing me memories.
The road from Chengdu to Panzhihua to Dali is made up of "sunshine".
After the original plan, we took Dexin to Mangkang to Zuogong, but when we saw the news that there was a road collapse on the way, we will change the route and take the legendary "devil" line and "Bingchacha" line. Part-time~
▍Written at the beginning
It records interesting stories from Chengdu to Panzhihua and then to Dali. Now we are going to go through Bingchacha and enter Tibet. The three words "Bingchacha" are like thunder in the off-road circle. The most difficult route to Tibet has the most beautiful scenery. It is said that it can allow self-drivers to experience the ultimate feeling of crossing between heaven and hell...
D3-D6 itinerary: Dali - Laomudeng - Bingzhongluo - Chavalon - Zayu
After eating a bowl of delicious bait with friends near the inn in the morning, we are ready to depart from Dali to Laomudeng.
Few people should know about this place, and this is the first time I heard that "Laomden" is a transliteration of Nu language, which means "a place where people like to come". The village is located on a gentle slope halfway up Biluo Snow Mountain, with Biluo Snow Mountain on one side, Gaoligong Mountain on the other, and the Nu River rushing through in the middle. It is very mysterious to think about it, and I look forward to arriving soon.
Passing by Lushui to eat lacquered chicken, the Lisu people often say: "Even if you have taken the zip line of the Nujiang people, you may not have eaten authentic lacquered chicken once.
After eating lacquered chicken in Lushui, we continued to set off. We arrived at a hot spring by mistake. It turned out to be the famous "bathhouse club" of the Lisu people. Basking in the sun, eating watermelon, but soaking your feet in warm water, is a paradoxical sense of comfort.
After driving a winding mountain road, we arrived at Laomuden at about 6 pm. Staying at the Laomuden Inn, the proprietress was very enthusiastic and gave us a cup of traditional "Laomden Tea" handmade tea, which tasted sweet and mellow, and relieved the fatigue of the day. Everyone chatted at the dinner table, and they went back to their rooms to rest at night, looking forward to seeing the whole picture of Laomuden tomorrow.
There was a heavy rain at night, and the rain fell all night. Waking up early in the morning, looking at the foggy mountain, what the eyes see is like a fairyland, what the body feels is damp and cold, and the unknown and unimaginable mysterious land ahead, a little nervousness and curiosity have become our new companions. When I walked up to the viewing platform, the clouds and fog were already above my head, and the sea of clouds was blown by the wind like a high-speed lens, blowing into my mind frame by frame.
The Christian church in Laomudeng Village is very famous. Although Nu, Lisu, Bai, Han, Tibetan and other ethnic groups live here, most of them have the same belief in Christianity.
Opposite Laomudeng Village is the famous Crown Mountain in the northern section of Gaoligong Mountain. Crown Mountain is named after its shape like a crown.
Saying goodbye to the proprietress, starting from Laomudeng Village, passing through Fugong County and Gongshan County, we are going to Bingzhongluo Town.
We went all the way north along the Nujiang Grand Canyon, and came to the ancient tea-horse road on the Yunnan-Tibet line for thousands of years. Walking in and taking a look, "People in the Mist" is engraved on the stone. The name is really nice and has a sense of mystery. We walked along the ancient tea-horse road dug in the cliff for a while, and saw Wuli Village. The ancient road on the rock wall is still used in the village to get in and out of the outside world. Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The simple suspension bridge has become a dangerous bridge due to disrepair for a long time. In 2015, a new cable suspension bridge was rebuilt, a new bridge and an old bridge. You can see the history and also lead to the future......
Continue to advance towards Bingzhongluo, the Nujiang River along the road is turbulent, and there are sometimes rockslides on the winding mountain road.
When we arrived in Bingzhongluo, where humans and gods live together, we were deeply attracted by the beautiful natural scenery and the characteristic culture of ethnic minorities that is rarely known to the outside world. Bingzhongluo is inhabited by Tibetan, Han, Nu, Lisu and other ethnic groups. The folk customs are simple and honest. People here seem to have no concept of ethnicity. Although different ethnic groups have differences in language and culture, they intermarry and live in harmony and peace.
We saw a large bay of the Nujiang River at the Bingzhongluo Observation Deck. We thought it was the first bay of the Nujiang River, but it was not.
The real beginning of Bingchacha is in Bingzhongluo. "It is the end of ordinary tourists, but it is the starting point of off-roaders."
Because it is from Bingzhongluo to Chawarong in Tibet to Chayu (referred to as Bingchacha), so the domestic travel friends named this road "Bingchacha". Along the way, there are big mountains, deep valleys, broken rocks, etc., and the road conditions change rapidly. The high mountains of the Nujiang River cut deep into the canyon, and the narrow and rough roads on the cliffs have become a place that self-driving enthusiasts yearn for.
This is almost the worst section of the entire Bingcha line, with gravel, potholes, rocks, landslides, quicksand, and rolling stones scattered throughout the section. It is worthy of the "Bian" Tibetan line, and there is no sleepiness in the car.
After passing the famous Tiger's Mouth, there is a very oppressive rock. It is named for its shape like a tiger's mouth full of sharp teeth opening on a cliff.
Continuing to trace the Nujiang River, the Nujiang Canyon became deeper and narrower and narrower, and soon reached the "Yunnan-Tibet Border" boundary sign beside the highway, that is to say, along the Bingchacha Line, it has entered Tibet from Yunnan.
From a distance, you can see a huge gray-white sandstone waterfall with exposed rock walls. A huge rolling stone flow, like a waterfall, plunges straight into the bottom of the river. This is the legendary "big quicksand" that is beautiful but dangerous and deadly. ", Meili Snow Mountain "Bleeding Heart".
Moving forward, we turned up the snow-capped mountains. It was the first time we saw such heavy snow, and the children in the south were already so excited.
The team leader said that we went to a pass to "sing folk songs", huh? Why do you want to sing folk songs at the pass of Daxue? It turns out that "singing folk songs" means "convenience". Haha.
Continuously cross the [Ciwangla Pass] and [Gada Pass], pass the beautiful Alpine Haizi [Xinhu Lake] and drive forward, the mountain also slowly begins to become lush from the stone mountain, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak! After crossing the [Yishula Snow Mountain Pass], we finally arrived in Zayu County.
When I really drove into the Bingcha inspection line by myself, I found that it was not as dangerous as imagined on the Internet. There is a kind of primitive steepness here, and that kind of danger reveals a kind of simplicity and natural beauty, which makes you feel awe, but everything seems to be in harmony.
Compared with the other 6 routes, Bingchacha’s road to Tibet is a quiet road because the road is difficult and the service facilities are not perfect. There are not many people passing this route along the way, so please don’t take a car Go by car, try to find a reliable professional team to enter Tibet together!
