We went on the road again, this time on the highway to Ya'an, the scenery along the road is very good, the newly repaired highway has just opened to traffic, and the speed measurement has not yet been installed. Hundreds of kilometers around are plains, the road is relatively straight, Jiang Ming said that Ya'an is more than 100 kilometers, and then after the day, the whole county began to walk the mountain road.

The fat man said that this incoming car, try how many kilometers can it drive? I said I'll try it, but this small car has a lot of wind resistance, and it may not be able to drive 13. Then I started to step on the accelerator slowly, and when the car drove to one hundred and fourteen, it began to float a little. The fat man shouted excitedly and floated away. When I drove to 16, I would float to the green belt on the side of the road when I encountered a cross wind, and the wind noise was so loud that I couldn't hear it.

stepped on the accelerator, and the body swept to the Jiuli Xiang that poked out in the middle of the road. I maintained a speed of less than ten seconds, one hundred and seven, and then quickly released the accelerator, and the car left the ground like an airplane.

The speed is reduced to one hundred, and it feels like the speed of a walk-behind tractor, but it is still maintained at this speed, safety first. I asked Ya'an, what supplies do you need to prepare? I can't figure out that the Tibetan border is a barren place, and there will be nothing at that time.

The fat man listened to it and said that he wanted it, it was not good to be hungry, there was a lot of space in the car, and he could go to Ya'an to see what to buy. When I arrived in Ya'an, the fat man made crazy purchases. I asked Jiang Ming, how to do this wheel anti-slip? Jiang Ming said that there are snow chains in the north, I looked for it, and I don't know if there are any in the west.

In the end, Jiang Ming bought an electric air pump and a few sapper shovels, saying that the air pump could be plugged into the cigarette lighter to pump the wheels. I also bought a dozen packs of very long plastic cable ties. I said what is the use of this cable tie? Jiang Ming said that there are no snow chains here, and there is less chance of snow, so drivers here use cable ties. Is that okay?

In addition to the sofa and three seats, even the seats are full of supplies. If the environment in Tibet is really bad, these supplies are enough for us to consume for ten days and half a month. Out of Ya'an City, began to take the national highway to Tianquan County, Jiang Ming said that he would spend the night in Tianquan County tonight. Tianquan County is a mountain road through Luding County, several kilometers above sea level, so it takes a day to walk slowly.

Tianquan County is a relatively small county seat, built along the Tianquan River. Although it is said that it is a national highway, it is actually quite different from the national highway in western Guangdong, and then I asked the local driver. They say that this is the place where the basin is located on the mountain, which is different from the plain, so the standard of the national highway is different. Our county road standards are their national road standards.

As long as you go up the mountain, the national highway and provincial highway are not as good as the county road, the cost of building the road here is too large, the cost is very high, and there are many detours, so the asphalt road with a width of five or six meters is the national highway.

Eat and sleep enough, I still drove the next day, Jiang Ming doesn't have a driver's license, it's no problem to drive on Ping Road, I'm a serious person with a B license. At that time, except for the A photo, which was the B photo and the C photo, it was not so detailed.

Along the way, guess what cars I see the most? Japanese cars and Alto. And, of course, vans. This road overtaking honks to urge, are Japanese cars, and they are all off-road vehicles, like what Toyota is the most, eight out of ten off-road vehicles are overbearing, license plates from all over the country, it is estimated that this is to travel to Tibet via Kangding in Sichuan.

Yes, it is very close to Kangding, Luding County in the past, over the mountains is Kangding, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the slippery mountain of the horses, a slippery cloud, shining on the end, the slippery city of Kangding. You can also see the scene of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep.

Let's go back and talk about the car, and the overbearing cars we see are all four-wheel drives, and the four wheels grip the ground, so people run steadily, and the road is to see the car overtaking. You can also see that Nissan's one is called Paladin or something, this car is also very handsome, but it is all behind the domineering, and the rest is the Mitsubishi Jeep, what is it called Pajero? This car is not good, many of them are eliminated for the locals to travel.

Watching these luxury off-road vehicles whirring past us, that gas, but there was no way, we drove a rear-wheel drive minibus. The fat man was lying on the window and watching other people's cars overtake violently, and he couldn't stop swallowing saliva. It's good to say that this car is good, that car is good, it's really good.

The most infuriating thing is that Alto, as far as the hatchback mini car, also surpasses us. When the fat man saw it, he pointed at others and scolded, saying that a broken car of tens of thousands of yuan dared to surpass us. Jiang Ming pressed the fat man's arm, and said it's okay, don't point at others. Do you know what kind of car they are?

The fat man was not convinced, and said that those tens of thousands of yuan are broken cars, and they can run so fast. Jiang Ming said that Alto is made in Chongqing, and the local car, of course, runs fast. See the roof of someone's car? We all looked at the roof of Alto because we were a minivan with high seats and good visibility, so it was easy to look at the roof of Alto.

Jiang Ming said that Alto is used as a private taxi to solicit passengers for long distances, and the roof of the car is used to put luggage. This car has no air conditioning, and the windows are open when driving in summer, do you know why the roof collapses? The fat man said, didn't you just say to put your luggage?

Look at the engine cover again, Jiang Ming said. The engine covers were all worn, some collapsed and deformed, and some of the front windshields were cracked and fixed with sealing glue. The fat man said that he wouldn't put luggage on the hood, right? I smiled and said, "How do you see the road when you put your luggage on the hood?" The fat man said yes.

Jiang Ming pointed to the mountain on the side of the road again to see what it was. We all looked at the above, a few goats grazing between the cracks in the stones, and from time to time they stepped on a few pieces of gravel and fell one after another. The fat man said, you mean this engine cover was stoned? On the other hand, Jiang Ming nodded.

In the end, Jiang Mingming said that the people who drove Alto were all retired by local truck drivers. They were tired of driving trucks, so they bought Alto to run long distances, so they were familiar with the road conditions. Alto cars are certainly not overpowering, but they are good at taking advantage of opportunities to overtake, and their bodies are small and nimble.

The stones on this mountain, basking in the sun for a day during the day, expand, shrink when the temperature difference is large at night, and then expand again when the sun rises in the morning, so it is easy to weathered and form rockfall. Besides, there are a lot of goats here, and they trample on the falling rocks. You see, a lot of cars in the area have been smashed.

The fat man nodded, oh, and said that they were all old drivers, no wonder they drove so fiercely. The technology of these Alto drivers is no worse than that of the domineering ones, but the cars are a little worse. Halfway up the mountain, Zhang Shan began to have altitude sickness, covered her ears and said she was dizzy, so Jiang Ming found chewing gum for her to chew.

I saw a large flat land in front of me and a car wash service, so I pulled over and asked how much the car wash cost? And the swarthy man said, Fifty! Why is it so expensive? The other party said that it is difficult to get water here, if you want to add water or wash the car, it is a pool built on the mountain, and the snow mountain water is connected, and the cost is high, so it is expensive.

Well, wash it. We parked the car and got down to rest. When I had washed my car, I drove to the parking lot, where there were a lot of passing cars resting. Took a small oxygen cylinder from behind the sofa and filled the oxygen into the oxygen bag, Zhang Shan is a person from the plains, very sensitive to hypoxia, and has to let her hold an oxygen bag to inhale oxygen.

Jiang Ming took out a thermometer to look at the temperature, and said that it was five degrees under the mountain, and the altitude on this mountain was high, and now it was about zero degrees, so he had to add a cable belt to the car. Then Jiang Ming and the fat man tied the four wheels with cable ties, and it was very strange to look at the wheels. I took a coat for Zhang Shan in the car and put it on, in this plateau area, a cold can be fatal.

Continuing to set off, Jiang Ming said that if he climbed up again, he would have to pass a place called the Erlang Mountain Tunnel. The Erlangshan Tunnel of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is the junction of Ya'an and Ganzi Prefecture in Sichuan, which starts from the Sichuan-Tibet Line of Gentianxian County and ends at the Beituoshan Sichuan-Tibet Highway in Luding County, with a total length of about 8,600 meters. More than eight kilometers? And it is more than 2,000 meters above sea level.

It is said that after the Red Army seized the Luding Bridge, it climbed over Erlang Mountain, took the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and then approached the Sichuan Basin. After Erlang Mountain, there is a very strong Tibetan cultural atmosphere, Kham culture has a long historical origin, mixed with Tusi culture, side tea culture, Tibetan Buddhist culture, leaving behind the ancient Diaomen tea horse market, Erlang Mountain tea horse ancient road and other cultural relics. and a large number of relics of the Red Army's Long March.

It took about ten minutes to pass through the Erlangshan Tunnel, and as soon as I got out of the tunnel mouth, I found that there was a car accident, and a truck in front of me overturned into a drainage ditch. This is out of the mouth of the tunnel, it is a very wide road, and it is strange that this car can turn over to the drainage ditch.
