The year 2021 is coming to an end, and Lai Bo recalls killing, recording a 9,000-kilometer self-driving with two treasures in August this year, starting from Guangzhou, and traveling on the Qingan-Gansu Great Ring Road.
-DAY1-
In the past few days, the epidemic situation in the whole country is like opening a blind box. There are surprises of opening the blind box but no joy of opening the blind box. There is also the summer vacation that many students are looking forward to with great difficulty. It was messed up by an airport and an outsourced cleaning company. I am angry that this round of epidemic has nothing to do with accidents, but a safety accident caused by non-compliance with regulations.
And our trip to the Qingan-Gansu Great Ring Road started amidst such uncertainties.
In fact, we can also postpone the trip to the National Day, but in this way we cannot bring Dabao with us. Thinking of the summer vacation that the children have been looking forward to for a year, the promise to Dabao that she can go out to travel if she makes progress in her studies this semester, and her drive to catch up with homework every day after the holiday to be able to travel. We weighed the pros and cons again, looked for a compromise, and made the seemingly "adventurous" journey safer. In order to better the travel experience and prevent the epidemic, we made several changes in the journey.
The initial plan was to send the one-and-a-half-year-old Er Bao back to his parents' home in Chengdu, and then take Da Bao from Guangzhou to Yunnan, then Bingchacha to Tibet, and then Medog, Bomi, Nyingchi, Lhasa, Nagqu, and Golmud. . . Into Yunnan and Tibet, out of Qinghai-Tibet. Dabao is already 11 years old. He should go through a little hardship, experience the difficulty of life, and hone his will. So in the first half of the year, what has been promised to her is to take a "hardship-filled" journey with her parents.
A week before the departure, I heard that the use of aerial cameras is not allowed in the whole of Tibet this year. I thought about how to preserve the unique beauty of Tibet by taking pictures, so I decided to wait until next year when aerial cameras are released.
So I plan to go to Xinjiang again, take the Duku Highway, the surrounding Bosten Lake, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Nalati Grassland, Bayinbulak, Swan Lake, Wushi, and then go to Dunhuang. The advantage of this itinerary is that the altitude is lower than Tibet, so you don’t have to worry about high altitude. Small planes can fly. But the disadvantage is that it is too far away, and it takes almost ten days to walk on the road.
As a result, three days before the departure, with the spread of the Nanjing epidemic, Xinjiang has always been stricter on tourists from provinces and cities where medium and high-risk areas are located. Although Guangzhou is now a low-risk area, the journey route also avoids the provinces and cities where the medium- and high-risk areas are located. But no one knows whether a positive test will suddenly come from Guangzhou or a place along the way during the trip, and our trip will be interrupted immediately.
In this case, two days before the trip, we changed the itinerary again.
Sichuan and Hunan have become epidemic areas, and we can no longer send Xiaobao to his parents' house, so this time it has become a journey for a family of four. When traveling with Xiaobao, you need to consider comfort. The altitude should not be too high, and avoid big cities. We want to go to a place where environmental issues are close to nature.
The final decision is the Qinghai-Gansu Ring Road. Along the way, you can go to Lanzhou, Huangzhong Kumbum Monastery, Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, Delingha Alien Base, Dachaidan Emerald Lake, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Mingsha Mountain, Jiayuguan, Inner Mongolia Ejina Banner Populus euphratica Forest, Ningxia Yinchuan, Tianshui Maiji Mountain.
In order to avoid the epidemic area, we can only abandon the nearest Guangdong-Guangxi-Guizhou-Sichuan-Gansu route and the Guangdong-Hunan-Hubei-Shaanxi-Gansu route, and decide to bypass Jiangxi.
On the first day of the route, start from Guangzhou, take the Daguang Expressway, pass through Longnan to Ganzhou, and cross the two provinces of Guangdong and Jiangxi.
Because the holiday is not too long, we choose to leave directly after get off work on Friday afternoon. The whole journey from Guangzhou to Ganzhou is 430 kilometers, and the drive takes 4.5 hours, arriving at 22:20 in the evening.
The children are very excited when they talk about traveling, eating, playing and watching cartoons in the car. . .
As soon as we arrived in Ganzhou, we ordered a barbecue takeaway, and when we settled down and went to the room, the supper arrived soon.
This is the end of the first day of the journey. Let me share the strategy with you~
