Chapter 161 The First Pass of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway

Zhang Bing's driving skills make Lao Liu admire very much, no need to ask more, as long as you sit in the car he drives, you can completely understand what "old driver" means.

Well, don't think crookedly, a person like Zhang Bing is indeed an old driver who is really grinding out kilometers.

The journey of more than 140 kilometers from Rongcheng to Ya'an was driven by Zhang Bing. He overtook when he should be on the road, slowed down when he should slow down, and judged the timing very well. And along the way, Lao Liu found that he almost didn't step on the brakes when driving on the highway, and all relied on the accelerator to control the speed......

Anyway, Lao Liu thinks that he can't do this, or that he can do it, but he definitely can't do it with such ease as Zhang Bing.

The car passed through the city of Ya'an along the Beijing-Kunming Expressway, and after crossing the Tsing Yi River, it turned onto the Yakang Expressway, which was officially opened not long ago.

This paragraph was replaced by Guo Yanping.

It just so happens that she is running on the highway now, and she also wants to show Lao Liu her driving skills, and Lao Liu, the car owner of the province, has an opinion in her heart.

As a result, after Guo Yanping took over the steering wheel, Lao Liu was also quite panicked......

A female driver is even more slippery than herself!

"Sister-in-law, how do you practice your driving skills?" Lao Liu couldn't help but ask.

"It's just driving all day. Guo Yanping skillfully overtook an Iveco and smoothly controlled the car from the overtaking lane back to the carriageway, "After graduating from university, I did several jobs, but they didn't go well, so I opened my own online store with the help of my friends." But it was also very difficult at first. After two years of perseverance, the business of my small online store gradually improved, and I was able to leave some money after all the expenses were removed. At that time, I rode a battery car to buy goods. ”

"Battery car?" asked Lao Liu suspiciously.

"Well, it's the kind of three-wheeled battery car with a rear bucket, more than 2,000 yuan a piece, which can pull a lot of goods. ”

As soon as Guo Yanping said this, Lao Liu understood. In his home Tianqu, this kind of electric tricycle runs all over the street, and many business people use this electric tricycle to pull goods and deliver goods.

"Although it was very hard at that time, I was still very energetic, after all, business is getting better day by day. Guo Yanping had a smile on her face.

"But one night about three years ago, I had an accident. Ah Bing, tell Brother Liu about it. ”

Zhang Bing nodded, "That day, Yanping had a girlfriend's birthday, and after she delivered the goods in the afternoon, she rode a battery car to her best friend's house, but she ate quite late at night, it was more than ten o'clock, but Yanping didn't drink that day." But even then, on her way home on a battery bike, she was grazed by a drag racing guy. ”

"I happened to call it a day and was about to go home, but I saw Yanping lying on the side of the road with a bloody face. So I took her to the hospital, paid for the treatment, and stayed with her for the night......"

A warm smile appeared on Guo Yanping's face?" If it weren't for Bing, I would have died on the streets that night. All I remember was being grazed by a speeding car while I was crossing the intersection, and then the car flipped over? I don't know anything. By the time I woke up, I was already lying in my hospital bed. When I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was Ah Bing......"

The two glanced at each other affectionately, and then Guo Yanping focused on the road ahead again.

Zhang Bing smiled and continued: "That's how we met, and then we didn't know how to talk about the object. I was driving a taxi in Star City at the time, and I had been in this business for more than two years after demobilization. But because of that car accident, I think it is dangerous for Yanping to ride a battery car to deliver goods, so I suggested that she buy a car and drive to pull and deliver goods. ”

Guo Yanping took over the conversation, "I listened to Ah Bing's proposal, and then the two of us pooled the money to buy a Wuling Hongguang? I drove that car every day to pull goods and deliver goods in the streets and alleys of Star City, and I drove it for three years. ”

Lao Liu covered his forehead and said, "Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, I don't think you two are talking about how to hone your driving skills?

The three of them laughed happily together, and Guo Yanping said: "Brother Liu, how is this sprinkling dog food? Don't you have a girlfriend......?

"Can't you be sprinkled with dog food when you take off the order? Don't forget that I'm alone in the car right now. I shouldn't have gotten you two companions, I should have found two single dogs to drive with me, so I could sprinkle dog food on them......"

Zhang Bing and Guo Yanping laughed again.

The newly opened Yakang Expressway is in excellent condition, although the speed limit is relatively low, but compared with National Highway 318, this highway is undoubtedly very good.

You must know that the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway is not only the famous natural dangerous section of Tongmai and Haitonggou, in fact, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway will encounter a painful and dangerous section from the beginning, that is, the section of the road from Ya'an to Luding, especially near Tianquan......

The whole section of National Highway 318 not only has the famous Erlangshan Tunnel, but also the famous landslide area in this section of the road. Landslides and landslides are commonplace on this stretch of road.

Some people even say that the road conditions on this section of the road are even more difficult to run than Haitonggou......

But in any case, with the completion and opening of the Yakang Expressway, Lao Liu has no chance to run that section of the natural dangerous section.

After passing through a series of tunnels in a row, and finally passing through the 13.4-kilometer-long Erlangshan Tunnel on the Yakang Expressway, the car finally came out of this section of the natural dangerous section.

As soon as the Erlang Mountain Tunnel was drilled, the deep Dadu River Gorge was in front of you, and at the exit of the tunnel, it was the exit interchange of Luding.

"Sister-in-law, let's go down and have lunch in the county seat. ”

Since you have come to Luding, it will indeed be a pity if you don't take a look at the famous Luding Bridge.

Guo Yanping glanced in the rearview mirror, turned on the turn signal and began to move closer to the right.

After paying the fee at the exit, the car got off the highway from the high-speed exit in the north of Luding, turned south and then passed through a long tunnel, out of the tunnel and walked along the east bank of the Dadu River for a distance, crossed a tall dam, and then entered the county seat.

Like most counties located on the plateau, Luding is also built along the river, narrow and cramped.

There's really no way around this, who made the place so big?

After three hours of trekking, the white lion is also familiar with Zhang Bing and Guo Yanping.

After getting out of the car, I first visited the hero's chain bridge, and after taking pictures and videos and leaving a lot of memorials, the three of them and one dog found a restaurant that looked good and had a meal, and then went straight to Kangding in the west on the highway.

After getting on the Yakang Expressway again and crossing the Dadu River from the Xingkang Bridge, the three of them finally saw what the terrifying high tunnel-bridge ratio on the Yakang Expressway looked like.

If you can still see the skylight and the sun on the road before the Luding exit, then after crossing the Dadu River, even seeing the skylight has become a luxury.

On the road of about 40 kilometers from crossing the Dadu River to Kangding, in addition to the tunnel is a bridge, it is simply the kind of situation where you go to the bridge when you leave the tunnel and enter the tunnel after crossing the bridge.

Lao Liu even checked the information of this section of the road and found that the ratio of bridges and tunnels on this section of the road was as high as 96%!

Compared with this terrifying bridge and tunnel, it is much more difficult than building a subway!

When the car arrived in Kangding, it was about half past two in the afternoon, but the three of them did not plan to get off in Kangding, but prepared to cross the first high mountain pass of more than 4,000 above sea level on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in one go, and then stayed after arriving at Xindu Bridge.

For Zhang Bing and Guo Yanping, it is definitely a very cost-effective thing to be able to take Lao Liu's car and drive into the plateau.

Their trip was actually the equivalent of a honeymoon.

Originally, they arrived in Rongcheng by high-speed rail, and then planned to join a self-driving tour group in Rongcheng and follow the car to the plateau. As a result, I didn't expect to be looking for a suitable group on the Internet, and I saw the information released by Lao Liu.

There is no fare, no fuel, just room and board, and the car is still a high-end Cruiser! This is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing.

If there's anything bad about it, it's the need to drive for long periods of time.

But is this a thing? Driving such a high-end car is a pleasure in itself, right?

If he were to drive in a group, he would need at least 10,000 yuan for this trip. But what if he could go up with Lao Liu? The maximum cost of his family on the road was 3,000 yuan, which was still a relatively luxurious situation for food and lodging.

If you save some flowers, you can't even use 2,000 yuan for two people.

Although it was said at the beginning that the scenic spots on the road should not stop as much as possible, is that a problem? The Sichuan-Tibet South Line is known as "China's most beautiful landscape avenue", and this scenery is all on the road, and it is not much necessary to go to those famous scenic spots without going to see them.

And there are a lot of attractions that are actually on the side of the road, and you can see them when you pass by, so it doesn't really matter if you don't go to those attractions out of your way.

It is precisely because of this idea that the three of them do not care about not staying in this city famous because of "Kangding Love Song".

It's just that none of the three of them thought that this alpine pass, known as the first pass of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, would be so difficult to climb.

When passing through Kangding on the next road, it was called a clear sky, although it was a little cold, but the sky was clear and intoxicating.

But not long after leaving Kangding, when I started to climb the mountains, all kinds of situations came.

When the snow began to appear halfway up the mountain, dark ice began to appear on the road, and Lao Liu even saw two cars plunged into the cement drainage ditch on the side of the road.

Although the gutter was neither wide nor deep, the wheels were stuck in, and if you wanted to get out, you had to wait for the rescue vehicle.

Obviously, the drivers of these two cars were "plotted" because they did not notice the dark ice on the road.

In the open space in front of a Tibetan household halfway up the mountain, more than a dozen large and small vehicles were parked, including large trucks and long-distance buses, and even vehicles traveling by car.

Most of these vehicles are installing snow chains, and there are also cars that have just come off them and are removing snow chains.

Lao Liu's car stopped and installed snow chains, and Zhang Bing handled this work with his family, and Lao Liu didn't have to worry about it at all.

Lao Liu took the white lion to the public toilet opened by the Tibetan family to solve the physiological problem, but he didn't expect that he would be asked for two yuan for urine......

This made Lao Liu very helpless. Because this is the most expensive bubble of urine in Lao Liu's life!

But no matter how expensive it is, you have to go to the toilet, you can't pee with your legs like a white lion, right?

Out of the toilet, Lao Liu came to a Land Rover who was disassembling the snow chain with a cigarette in his mouth, and took out another Huazi and said, "Hey, big brother, let's take a break from a cigarette, how is the situation above?"

The driver was a man in his thirties, he looked up at Lao Liu and the cigarette in his hand, then clapped his hands and stood up straight to take the cigarette, and lit it with both hands to protect the lighter, "It snowed in the mountains yesterday morning, and the road was closed for a day yesterday, and it was only unsealed today." However, the condition at the top of the mountain is not very good, the snow is quite deep, and the road is slippery, so you must pay attention when you go up. ”

"Can you still see the surrounding scenery from the observation deck of the Zheduo Pass?"

The buddy shook his head and said, "I guess it's enough to choke today, anyway, when I passed by the Zheduo mountain pass just now, there were still snowflakes on it, and the visibility on the top of the mountain was very poor." ”

Lao Liu said with some disappointment: "Okay, thank you." ”

The man nodded and continued to bend down to remove the snow chains.

Lao Liu returned to the parking position with the white lion, helped Zhang Bing and his family put the snow chains on well, and began to continue climbing the mountain.

When we arrived at the Zheduo Mountain Pass at an altitude of 4298, there were still snowflakes on it, and the visibility was very poor. However, there are still cars parked in the small parking lot on the side of the road. Parking here costs 10 yuan a car, and then you can go up a step road to the Zheduo Mountain Observatory at an altitude of 4340.

If the weather is fine, Lao Liu will go down and have a look. But now in this kind of weather conditions, going down is purely looking for abuse, so the car did not stop, and directly turned over the Zheduo mountain pass and began to descend.

Otherwise, many people say that the climate of Zheduo Mountain Pass is impermanent, and it is still snowing heavily at the top of the mountain just now, but it doesn't take long for the sky to return to the appearance of a clear sky again, even if you look back at Zheduoshan Pass, you can't see even a trace of clouds.

The devil knows where the snow at the pass came from.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The road is less than 60 kilometers, and it takes more than two hours to walk!

I found a spacious place to remove the snow chains, and when the car arrived at Xindu Bridge, it was almost dusk.

Because of his previous experience, Lao Liu booked the hotel early. The price of more than 300 a night is really a little expensive, but compared to the hotel allowing large pets into the house, this money is nothing.

What happened to the five-star hotel where Lu Lang lived? I had to pay an extra 400 yuan for the white lion......

Zhang Bing and his family are quite acceptable for such a price, but there is also a three-star hotel......

At dinner in the evening, he poured a bottle of spring water into Zhang Bing's two children, which eliminated the high reaction between the two of them.

After staying overnight, I set off early the next morning, aiming for Mangkang, 500 kilometers away. I just don't know if Haitonggou has been repaired. If it is not repaired, it will have to be lived in Batang.
