Volume 1 Chapter 7 Ali to Lhasa
And more than half of the people, thousands of miles to the mountain road.
There is skill in the body, and there is gold everywhere.
Xing Yu continued to drive to the accompaniment of music, passing by Namunani Peak and just at the foot of the mountain, looking. I'm really not in the mood to climb it. More than 7,000 meters above sea level. Climbing a mountain is really not something that people can bear.
I really don't know what I thought at the beginning, how I rode my bike to Tibet. Xing Yu looked at the mountain peak and recalled the past, and his left leg began to ache faintly again.
Continuing south, you will see Laang Tso and Mabang Yongtso. The two lakes separated by the road and Kailash in the distance constitute the most representative and magnificent scenery of the Ali region.
Park your car on the side of the road where there are no tourists. Xing Yu set up a tent by himself. In the afternoon, a pressure cooker is used to heat up the air-dried meat brought from Xinjiang. On the gas stove fire, roast a few Abdu baked buns, and from time to time prick a mouthful of Moutai poured into the kettle. The plateau is really a good place to quit smoking and drinking. After only four or five sips, Xing Yu felt a little dizzy. Secure your tent next to your car and pack up your trash. Light a gas heater. Holding a Zippo oil heater that could not be used because there was no way to bring oil. Xing Yu got into the tent, and the cat began to rest in the sleeping bag.
Travel, I don't care where the focus is, I just want to enjoy the scenery along the way. Xing Yu planned to wait until he arrived in Chengdu, find a tattoo parlor, and get a tattoo for himself. "On my life on the way" I hope this tattoo won't hurt me again. Xing Yu said silently in his heart.
He slept for less than two hours without removing the brace. I woke up and opened the tent to see the stars shining outside, but I didn't notice the moon. Turn up the heater and light a cigarette.
It was dark, and the lake and the mountains looked dark. It's a bit scary, there are cars passing by from time to time in the distance, and they are all delayed by traffic jams. Hurry down to find a hotel in the next city and release the stress of the day.
Why are some people still in a hurry during the road trip? No parking until the attraction. What's the difference between that and joining a tour?
Get in the car to sleep and get out of the car to pee. When I arrived at the scenic spot, I took random photos. When I got home, I didn't know anything.
Of course, without these people, there will be fewer ways to make money, and I have seen a lot of broken cars along the way, some of them have burned insurance, and they look innocent. Please have such a big temperature difference here, you have been igniting the diesel car without preheating, and you don't burn anyone's insurance, and you don't have a spare part for these wearing parts, and in the end, Xing Yu used a few copper wires to surround the old insurance to solve the problem. If the oil pan is cracked, you don't do a little chassis protection for an urban SUV, and you are still driving so wild, aren't you looking for trouble? As for those who use urban HT tires to run bad roads, don't repair tires too often.
Xing Yu felt sad for those who were in a hurry to travel. But everyone has their own way of living, and Zifei knows the joy of fishing?
The cigarette that I smoked two puffs turned white and gray in the air, and I put the cigarette butt away in an iron box. I opened the kettle and poured two or three taels of white wine in one gulp. Straight to the top. Xing Yu continued, and the cat fell asleep in the tent.
The sun is shining brightly,
Thousands of mountains are like fire.
A round of heaven in an instant,
Chase away the stars and the waning moon.
This is Song Taizu, describing the view of the sunrise. The sunrise in Mabang Yongcuo was particularly early, around four or five o'clock. The snow-capped mountains turned red, and the blue water of the lake reflected the glow. Xing Yu wrapped himself in a jacket, even if he was not afraid of the cold. At such altitudes, such mornings. It still looks so moving. Of course, it's Chu Chu Freeze Man. The mastiff dog coming down from the Tianshan Mountain is naturally not afraid of the cold, and at this time he is buying hot wood and spreading joy by the lake.
Xing Yu sat by the lake boiling water, and there was an open bucket next to him. Watching the sunrise, I held back for a long time. I can only hold my mobile phone with a weak signal, and the snail's Internet speed can casually check an article about the sunrise by the lake.
Eh, my brain is really broken. I can't even write limericks. He muttered to himself.
This is a brackish water lake, so the water in the lake is not drinkable by humans and animals, and water birds are extremely rare. That's why the locals also call it a ghost lake.
Of course, turnip greens have their own loves, and Xing Yu just likes this kind of environment where no one disturbs. It would be even better if there were fewer cars passing by.
The red sun rises in the sky, printing and dyeing the holy white head.
The sparkling water in the lake, reflecting the sky scene.
After holding it for more than an hour, Xing Yu wrote down this text in his mobile phone. Pack up your tent sleeping bag, grab a cigarette and continue on your way.
The winding mountain road of Ali Plateau is Jilong Ditch. It's a bit warm and humid here. After buying a box of mineral water in Nai Village, I continued to set off and rushed to Mount Everest. Everest is no longer what it used to be. This height 8848 is the backbone of the world. has been provoked by humans. Parking under the Everest base camp is difficult, and various tour groups and mountaineering groups abound.
Xing Yu dispelled the idea of waiting for a sunrise here and rushed to Shigatse non-stop. Shigatse to Mount Everest is more than 340 kilometers. The asphalt road has already been repaired. Except for the corners a bit more. There is no difficulty in the rest.
But even so, there was still a traffic jam. After all, they are both two-way and two-lane, and too many warriors want to conquer Mount Everest. Without the police, the quality of the personnel has deteriorated. Often a lane change overtaking can cause a traffic jam of about half an hour. The road is so wide, no one will let anyone, then it can only be blocked.
Stopping on the side of the road, Xing Yu smiled and looked at a domineering off-road vehicle, reversing all the way beside him. You deserve to be on the road. Calculate in my heart how many kilometers this domineering will fall. It is also concerned that the car has a spare tire and a spare tire. Why is there a VX logo? It can be seen from the gap in the side door that this car has definitely had an accident, a set of 285 MT tires, I really don't know how the owner endures the noise. Xing Yu couldn't help but want to get out of the car to see if the car had a sunroof. There is no way to commit occupational diseases.
Because of the traffic jam, the three-hour journey took more than 7 hours. It was already evening in Shigatse. Abandoned the idea of going to Tashilhunpo Monastery. I just found a hostel and stayed.
The climate of the plateau is always like a child's face, and it changes when it is said. Not long after lying down, the sky that was still full of stars had already dimmed, and there was a light rain. The already humid air is even more uncomfortable. Xing Yu removed the bracket and wrapped it in his sleeping bag. He longed to spread a few extra layers of moisture-proof mats on the bed, this dark and humid climate was what he hated the most. The wounds on his body reminded him all the time. It's raining outside.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, I finally fell asleep. Around eight o'clock in the morning, it was still dark outside. The rain was light. If you want to go to Lhasa, there should be no landslides, but the traffic jam is estimated to be certain. No one can expect all drivers to be highly qualified, no.
Then it's pleasant to walk around the streets of Shigatse. With a small umbrella, he hummed a little song that Han Hong heard to kill: My hometown is in Rikeze, where is there a beautiful river...... I found a milk tea house with many locals on Jiefang North Road and ordered a bottle of salty milk tea. There is no way to stay in Xinjiang for a long time. Not at all accustomed to sweet milk tea.
Casually order barley baba and enema. One meal to deal with the past. The rain is still falling, and the street pilgrims are pulling carts, and the pilgrims are always visible. It is said that the callus on the forehead of the Tibetan people is a symbol of sincerity, and the thicker it is, the deeper your respect for the Buddha.
Check out at noon and turn north. Over the Canora iceberg, passing by Yang Zhuo Yongcuo. Continue past the Gombala Hills. It takes about two hours to get to Lhasa. It's still raining in the sky, and even if it's still there usually, it's impossible to have a beautiful woman take a photo in this weather condition now. How many years ago was the old news about the Sheep Lake photo incident? Xing Yu surrounded the Sheep Lake. I thought to myself.
Soon came directly to Lhasa, four trips to Tibet, two to Lhasa. Xing Yu looked at the city that he was not familiar with at all, and navigated to the vicinity of Xiaozhao Temple and found that the hotels had become very high-end, and they were still full. I finally found a homestay with pets. When checking in, I deliberately waited near the front desk for a while. Sure enough, the front desk called the public security bureau again: Hey, hello, is the public security bureau? We have a border province ID card customer here, whose name is ............ Ok thanks.
After hearing this, Xing Yu smiled self-deprecatingly. Go upstairs and rest. When the day dawns, go around the Golden Wheel and see the Potala Palace. Here's how he planned it.
Early the next morning, when I rushed to the Potala Palace, the sound of Buddha had already sounded. Sure enough, I didn't buy a ticket. No, there is a limit to the number of visitors per day. It's hard to get in without booking in advance. It doesn't matter anymore. Stand under the Potala Palace and take a selfie. I remember the last time I came, I had been hiding in the hotel and sleeping, and when I left, I took a photo of the Potala Palace in the car. It's also very helpless.
I replenished a box of mineral water and checked the condition of the car myself. Not bad, no problems. Driving in Tibet, as long as the new car is not too crazy. Driving carefully is basically no problem.
Out of Lhasa, drive directly to Lalin Expressway. There is no way, National Highway 318 can no longer go. If you want to take the Sichuan-Tibet line, you can only go here. When he stayed in Lhasa, Xing Yu had already planned, and there was no challenge to the Qinghai-Tibet line. The Sichuan-Tibet line 318.317 is still a little interesting. It's just that there was someone to accompany me last time I walked 318. This time I was alone. It's not too lonely, at least I still have a dog. Xingyu meditated silently in his heart.
Lingzhi got off the highway, Bomi - Basu - Zuogong - Mangkang - Batang - Litang - Xinduqiao - Kangding - Chengdu. Xing Yu didn't experience any great difficulty along the way, except for a little more curves, the road surface was very good asphalt. Tongmai Tianhazard has become Tongmai Bridge. The Nu River Bridge is still guarded by armed police. The Nu River viewpoint at turn 72 has begun to charge fees, and there are still many tourists. Driving at turn 72, the only foreign vehicle going in the direction of Sichuan is Xing Yu's Niwa. Mixed in with the many local vans and pickup vans. But it doesn't feel crowded. More and more people are seeing hikes and cyclists on the road. It's just that a lot of people carry a GoPro or a direct mobile phone. Go live while walking. This made Xing Yu feel very uncomfortable.
After waiting for an hour at the 72 Nu River Viewpoint, I was able to walk to the front desk overlooking the Nu River. You know what, you dare to squeeze me. When I fell off here on my bike more than a decade ago, you hadn't heard of it. Xing Yu muttered and stood on the observation deck. Raise your phone and take a picture of the old Yay hand. And then there is a lack of interest. Gave up the spot. Drive down the mountain.
Because the problem of the collapse did not go around to the sun, it is a small regret. After three days of slow shaking, the Internet celebrity did not stop at all, and he did not eat the stone pot chicken boiled in cow dung. Along the way, I just bought dumplings by myself and cooked them in a pressure cooker.
