Summary of Additional Raiders Notes on Yunnan-Tibet Free Travel

Lhasa is no longer the horizon. The Yunnan-Tibet and Sichuan-Tibet roads have been repaired very well. This time when I return to Lhasa, I want to take the Yunnan-Tibet Line. In terms of transportation, I mainly use buses, take a car, and carpool. Due to the rush of time, there are not many bright spots in the full text, the main thing is to simply record it.

Here is a brief introduction to the classic route of Yunnan——Kun-Da-Li (Xianglu) play strategy

Theme: literature and art - the enduring journey of literature and art, the everlasting dream of colorful clouds.

If you have more time in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, you can travel freely to the destination and take part in one-day or two-day tours around, so that you can arrange your itinerary freely and avoid the trouble of chartering your own car.

There is already a direct high-speed rail from Kunming. Since the time to buy a ticket was late, I bought a ticket that went to Dali first and then transferred to Lijiang.

goodbye, lijiang

Goodbye, Lijiang
Why do you want to come? Why do you want to leave? Why are you coming again? Why are you leaving again?

Goodbye, there are two meanings here, 1. See you again; 2. I hope to see you again, which means leaving.

Lijiang

Lijiang has a special meaning in my life. I have worked in Kunming, Lijiang, and Lhasa. Among the three cities, Lijiang gave me the deepest feeling. Lijiang is a small city, and you can often meet acquaintances in the ancient city. The prices of vegetables in Zhongyi Market are also cheap, and the water in Qingxi Reservoir is very clear.

The first time I came to Lijiang in 2014, I just passed by and visited the ancient city. The bad habit of never doing a good strategy when going out has developed, not planning the time, not planning the route. My classmate said, come to Lijiang to play with me, I actually believe it, the naive child does not know that many people in this world just casually talk politely, for example: We will be together forever. After that, Lijiang was no longer a stranger, and I went back and forth many times. Finally, I decided to work in Lijiang. At the inn, the interviewing boss said that I am not suitable for tourism reception. Today it seems that he is right, I am too dull, too rigid. Back then, I insisted on doing it, and three years later, from We Media to e-commerce, from Tieba to Weibo, Douyin; from one person to two people, and then to one person; also from Lijiang to Lhasa.

Lijiang

Now, I am too familiar with Lijiang, and I am not embarrassed if I don’t talk. I sit on the third floor of the Sicilian Bar and watch the night view of the Lion Mountain, or overlook the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain; Drinking tea and playing games; these are already the biggest thoughts when I am with Lijiang.

In the season of cherry blossoms, goodbye, Lijiang, I loved you.

Lijiang

Shangri-la snow

Passing by from all over the world is my usual style. I am so lazy if I don’t know how to travel. In Lijiang, I have not been to Mufu; in Lhasa, I have not been to the Potala Palace; in Shangri-La, I have not been to Pudacuo, despair! You know I didn't go.

Shangri-la

2 years ago, when I went to Shangri-La for the first time, it snowed. It was still May, when the rhododendrons were already blooming. This year, it’s snowing again in Shangri-La. God, what do you mean by that? I originally wanted to go to Guishan Park to take a night scene, but I was delayed by my own laziness and heavy snow.

Shangri-la

It's the same hot pot restaurant as 2 years ago, but there are 2 people missing. Of these 2 people, one is wandering all over the world, and the other has never been heard from. Back then, two bikers, one on foot, ate more than 30 dishes, and the clerks laughed at us while avoiding us. Weishuwu also has a store in Lijiang. On Wuyi Street, because the city government wants to set up a Lijiang yamen or something, it needs to be demolished. Hey, coincidence, the store manager of the Lijiang store has come to be the store manager of the Shangri-La store. The world is small, and you'll meet a lot of people along the way! Discount, must hit the kind of bone fracture.

Shangri-la

After eating, it started to snow heavily. As a man, I should have sent her back, saying yes: we can walk together on a snowy day, so we can grow old. But, I thought, no, we will be separated after all, so let the female man walk back alone. (Do you know why I couldn't find a girlfriend? I did it on purpose.) Thank you for having dinner with me.

Failed trip to Deqin

I have already pre-ordered the passenger shuttle bus from Shangri-La to Deqin at 10:30 in the morning. I got up at 9:00 to have breakfast. A bowl of dumplings, I want to eat them all, it’s too warm, everything is true and good is beautiful. Their dedication should be remembered.

Shangri-la

I checked out and went to the car. I was so stupid that I just played with my mobile phone. I got on the car bound for Weixi without even looking at it. The driver found that there was someone else.

Shangri-la

Deqin

In my impression of Shangri-La, hay racks are erected on the vast land full of flowers, and cattle and sheep are eating green grass leisurely. The car went along the Jinsha River valley, and the Jinsha River made a big turn. I didn’t see it. I saw Baima Snow Mountain, and then I could see Meili Snow Mountain. Today’s clouds are very thick, and I didn’t see the whole picture. Legend has it that only lucky people can see Meili Snow Mountain. As the highest peak in Yunnan and one of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, it has been worshiped by countless believers for thousands of years. The most vivid is that in January 1991, 17 Chinese and Japanese joint mountaineering team members disappeared. Later, due to cultural reasons, Meili Snow Mountain was banned by the government. Tibetans turn mountains and rivers and stupas. They respect nature and live in peace with them instead of conquering and occupying them. They are only for the next life, and they have hope. The unattainable Kawagebo makes me not want to live in Feilai Temple so much. The unfinished complex is the driving force in my heart. I think: "I will get it, and I don't feel so good", and there are still 80% The reason is that I am lazy and don't want to go back.

Deqin

I found a place to live, had a meal, strolled around, took pictures, ordered a pot of sweet tea in a teahouse, and spent half an afternoon.

Deqin to Bangda

I set seven or eight alarm clocks, starting from 6:00 am to 7:30 am. I couldn’t sleep at night or wake up in the morning. In Lijiang, I was fine. I was able to go to work at nine o’clock. In Lhasa, I went to work at eleven o’clock. Isn't it killing me to light it up! The driver brother called me on time at 7 o'clock, worried that I would miss the bus. I had already bought the ticket to Bangda the day before. The previous plan was to go to Mangkang, where is the intersection of Sichuan-Tibet Line 318 and Yunnan-Tibet Line 214. Later, the driver Tell me that you can go to Bangda, and it is very convenient to transfer to Lhasa. Bangda is the bifurcation point of 317 and 318.

Deqin

Meili Snow Mountain outside the car window

The car left Deqin County, and soon saw Meili Snow Mountain. Fortunately, the weather was fine, the moon hung above the sky, and the whiteness was Meili Snow Mountain. Its magnificence is not inferior to Mount Everest. Next time I travel, I think I'll stay somewhere for a week, maybe a month, and have as much fun as I can without regrets.

Qamdo Salt Wells and Salt Fields

salt well
Arrived at Yanjing around 10 o'clock, and had dinner here. If you are not in a hurry, you can play here for a day or two to learn about the history of the ancient tea-horse road. Want to see snow-capped mountains? The top of the mountain is the coniferous forest below the snow line. This is the amusement park for golden monkeys. The green barley and peach blossoms in the terraced fields are in bloom. Grapes are still planted in the valley. The three-dimensional climate is vividly interpreted here. The rule of heaven, let them go their own way that cannot be violated. It is also very good to feel life while looking at the scenery, so that you can get something, and you can change something if you get something, one of the meanings of travel is this, just like in the movie "Zhang Sanfeng", Zhang Junbao saw his elder brother abandon Chaihe greeted a new student, relieved and enlightened.

Qamdo Salt Wells and Salt Fields

A small village on the Yunnan-Tibet line

The spring is just right, the peach blossoms are already in bloom, passing by a small and independent village, do you have the urge to stay? The competition of civilizations has prevented us from returning to the original state of nature. If you don't know the outside world, maybe you can spend your whole life here with peace of mind. You see, Kant never left his city in his life, and he was able to achieve his great achievements in philosophy. In this way, it is not how many roads you walk, how many places you have been to can reach a certain spiritual height.

Qamdo Salt Wells and Salt Fields

Hongla Snow Mountain

Climbing high and looking far away, you can have a panoramic view of the 150-kilometer Meili Snow Mountain. After passing this mountain pass, it will be Mangkang soon, and then connect to Sichuan-Tibet Line 318, have dinner at Zuogong at about 5 pm, and arrive at Bangda at 8:30. The whole day travels nearly 500 kilometers and takes 13 hours. I want to take a ride to Linzhi tomorrow.
Code words are not easy, friends who like it can help share and pay attention! Thanks

Bangda rides to Bomi

Going to Tibet without a ride is incomplete in my opinion. You can miss the scenery, and you can't miss an opportunity to trust each other. The moment when the two strangers raised their hands and parked the car, they were destined to see each other. This is the will of God. Let us obey the arrangement of fate. Who will I meet today? Who will pass by me again?

318 to Lhasa on the left, 317 to Qamdo on the right

Bangda is located at the intersection of 318 and 317, a traffic hub on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Bangda also has an airport, and its unique geographical location makes it a gathering and distributing center for people. Get up early, drag your suitcase, put your backpack on your back, and stand on the side of the road. A private car asked me where to go? I said that Wuzhen, Nyingchi, and Bomi are fine, as long as you go up, he said, "Ranwu 150, Nyingchi 300." Oh, it turns out that private cars are used to carry passengers, so I declined his kindness. Last night, the proprietress of the hotel said that the car is easy to take, and it will stop when there is space; I heard on the Internet or among tourists that the car is no longer available. What is the situation?

ride

The psychology of ride-hailing:

1. I was embarrassed to wave, thinking that the young lady would take me away if she saw me, but later found out that it was not possible, I am not Wu Yanzu, nor Nicholas Tse.

2. At first, I was standing on the right side of the police box, and the drivers had to open time-limited road tickets and stop. I wanted to see if there was a space in that car, and asked the driver if he could take me? As a result, half an hour later, I didn't speak, I was afraid of being rejected, I was afraid of embarrassment;

3. Take a car from the Buddhist family and continue walking for a certain distance in the direction of Lhasa. The car here has just started and the speed is not fast. I think: the driver will stop if he is willing to take me. If he doesn’t want to, it’s not embarrassing. It depends on fate; 10 cars are waved. , I met a little brother from Hunan who drove a Ford city off-road vehicle and parked in front of me. I am very grateful to him. He is a little brother who is doing engineering. He is building the railway from Lhasa to Nyingchi. I hope his work will go well. Be in a good mood every day and be a little more Buddhist. Let's go to Nyingchi.

Scenery

Today we will pass through Yela Mountain. After passing the mountain pass, we will turn to Tianlu 72, and then the Nujiang River is a natural danger. The newly built bridge is now open to traffic, and the armed police do not need to guard here. I met a girl on foot by chance, and my little brother said: "This is because my family has a mine, so I have time to come out and walk like this." I said, "Fortunately, I saw on the Internet that my eldest brother is 36 years old, his marriage failed twice, and he suffers from depression. I decided to go to Tibet on foot, and now I feel much better after walking for a year." From this point of view, those who go to Tibet must either be rich or sick! I thought: I am sick, and a little silly.

Bomi County

Bomi

How long does it take to arrive at Bomi at 4 pm? Bomi is a small town surrounded by snow-capped mountains and forests. I want to stay in Bomi Buddhist for 2 days, and then go to Taohuagou to see peach blossoms on a sunny day and see the young ladies in the youth hostel. Can you pick up my trash?

Carpooling from Bomi to Lhasa

The small town is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. There is a verdant fir forest under the white snow-capped mountains. The small river passes through the city, and the peach blossoms are already in full bloom.

Bomi

The weather in Tibet, the big girl’s face, was still sleet in the morning, and it will be sunny in a while. I went to look for the peach blossom forest yesterday, but I didn’t find it. Today I just went to take some photos. Follow the direction, find a community, and find it through the thorns. With emotion, the place that can be seen may not be accurately reached, it takes many attempts, and there are still many self-righteous and misunderstandings.

Bomi

Bomi County is a place with extremely unstable electricity, and the power consumption will stop at once, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Play strategy:

1. Zhuolonggou: Zhuolonggou is located in a virgin forest six kilometers south of Zhamu Town, Bomi County. . Zhuolonggou is a place dedicated to "tree burial" of children under one year old and eminent monks, and is generally not allowed to enter.

2. Gang spruce forest: Bomi Gang Township Gang spruce forest is located in the northeast of the Yarlung Zangbo River, 22 kilometers west of Bomi County, Tibet, on the road to Medog. It is recommended to go by bike or pack a carpool.

3. Gawalong Tianchi: Gawalong is bounded by Dorela at an altitude of 4322 meters, with Medog County in the south and Bomi County in the north. Looking north from Dorela, the three small lakes are like pearls, and there are two small islands in the middle of the small lake. This is the famous Gawalong Tianchi. It has not yet been developed. On the old road to Medog, it is recommended to go in autumn.

4. Qingduo Taohuagou: About 30 kilometers from Bomi to Nyingchi is the entrance of Taohuagou, Galang Village, which stretches for nearly 60 kilometers through Qingduo Town to Yuxu Township. Want to see peach blossom? I see you want to throw up.

Bomi

5. Ranwu Lake: The long and narrow Amuko Lake winds westward for more than ten kilometers and gradually shrinks into a river valley. Depending on the season, the river water also shows several colors such as blue or green.

ranwu lake

For various reasons, I gave up going to Taohuagou and carpooled back to Lhasa. From Bomi to Nyingchi, after passing through Tongmai, Pailong, Lulang, and Sejila Pass, all the way to the snow-capped mountains, accompanied by forests, after Nyingchi, the scenery slowly becomes desolate.

The trip from Lijiang to Lhasa is basically over. I felt that there was no bright spot in the whole journey. I found a homestay in a panic. The beauties and sisters were having a smoke-free barbecue. People are too hard.

brief summary

1. Personally, there were no bright spots in the whole trip, and the time was too tight, so I didn't go to any of the scenic spots.
2. It is recommended to carpool and play while walking in the future;
3. It is recommended to spend more time on free travel and play for ten and a half months;
4. Bring a small amount of cash, it is easy to have no signal or no electricity;
5. The documents must be brought well, and those who are going to Ali and other places to travel freely must apply for a border defense certificate in advance;
6. Try not to catch a cold because of the bathing problem;
