Chapter 45: Ghost Gate Pass (Added for the Spring Dragon Alliance Leader!)
didn't realize the wish to see what treasure the hourglass of earth could bring to him, which made Lao Liu very sullen.
But no matter how depressed you are, you can't run back to the experiment.
So Lao Liu could only sleep with a sullen stomach.
Fortunately, Lao Liu is broad-minded and can eat and sleep, but he will not toss and turn because of this incident.
After a night without dreams, at six o'clock the next day, Lao Liu, who had slept for seven hours, woke up under the urging of the biological clock.
It was still dark outside, and Lao Liu wanted to sleep for a while, but he really couldn't sleep. After arguing with the white lion in bed for a while, I decided to get up and wash up, and then eat and set off.
I had breakfast at the Sichuan restaurant where I had dinner last night, and I went back to the hotel parking lot and started the car.
Lao Liu smoked a cigarette when the car was hot, and met Li Lishan and them again.
Li Lishan and his party are all from Jincheng, the capital of Xilong Province, and they are probably used to getting up early, and they can't sleep when they arrive.
It's just that the two children are still confused, and their little heads are the same as chickens pecking rice, which looks very interesting.
After a few more pleasantries, the three cars parted ways. Lao Liu went all the way to the north, and they headed south.
Lao Liu killed Tanggula Mountain Town, a small town located on the south bank of the Tuotuo River.
It took nearly two hours to run less than 100 kilometers, which was somewhat unexpected by Lao Liu.
I can't help it, because of the light sleet yesterday, there was dark ice on the road, and I didn't dare to run.
If Lao Liu gets up an hour late, the dark ice will melt as soon as the sun comes out, and the speed will naturally be faster, but unfortunately he gets up too early, so he can only walk slowly.
In Tanggula Mountain Town, Lao Liu saw the Tuotuo River in summer.
This river is the source of the Yangtze River, and the Buqu that used to be next to Yanshiping will eventually flow into the Tuotuo River, and then form the Tongtian River.
In summer, the water volume of the Tuotuo River is still very large, and the turbid yellow water rushes down along the wide river channel from the upper reaches, and the width of the river surface is 200 meters, which has the momentum of the Yellow River when it enters the sea.
There are two bridges side by side on the river, the Tuotuo River Bridge of National Highway 109 in the east, and the railway bridge of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway 800 meters away in the west, which also has a very loud name - the first bridge at the source of the Yangtze River!
That's not true. Because from this railway bridge further upstream, there are no more bridges, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Tuotuo River Bridge is the first bridge on the Tuotuo River.
The 109 Highway Bridge to the west was built much earlier than the railway bridge, but in terms of location, the highway bridge can only be relegated to the second place.
The white lion, who had never seen such a big river, was also very excited, and held his head high at the Tuotuo River was a long and low roar, which attracted the attention of many tourists who took pictures here.
But fortunately, the area is wide enough, and no one comes up to find it.
After staying at the Tuotuo River for about twenty minutes, Lao Liu continued to walk. However, the magnificent scenery of the Tuotuo River made Lao Liu's mood feel better again.
After crossing the Tuotuo River, you will begin to enter the famous no-man's land of Hoh Xil. However, driving on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, you can't feel the desolation of the no-man's land at all.
National Highway 109 is regarded as the eastern edge of the uninhabited area of Hoh Xil, and the real uninhabited area still needs to go west for a long time. Although Lao Liu also wanted to go to the end of the world with a sword and go to the core area of the no-man's land, he remembered the news that the tourists who entered the no-man's land in various tricks were missing, Lao Liu finally pressed down on his restless heart.
When a person goes to a no-man's land, it is purely a mouse to serve as an escort for the cat. If you really want to go to no man's land, you have to at least form a convoy. Even so, you still have to report to the No Man's Land Administration, and people don't let you in.
Anyway, the most precious Tibetan antelope and Tibetan wild ass in the no-man's land have been seen on the road, and if you don't go in this time, it is the nickname of Wu Jing's son-Wu so-called......
After driving forward for half an hour after leaving the Tuotuo River, Lao Liu saw a reddish-brown bare mountain.
Judging from the map, this mountain is the famous wind volcano.
From Highway 109, you can faintly see the world's highest railway tunnel, the Wind Volcano Tunnel. With a total length of 1,338 meters and an altitude of 4,905 meters, this railway tunnel is the highest tunnel in the world, and it is also an unattainable report card handed over by Chinese railway workers to the world.
This miracle railway tunnel deserves anyone's respect, so Lao Liu also got off the train and took the white lion to silently watch this railway tunnel for a long time.
After leaving the wind volcano and continuing to drive forward for an hour and a half, I came to the five beams of the "Ghost Gate Pass" on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.
Wudaoliang is called "the first ghost gate pass on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway", which is not casually said. This town at an altitude of 4,415 meters is far inferior to Tanggula Pass and Tojula Pass, nor is it as good as the Wind Volcano and Yanshiping, but it is recognized as the first ghost gate to enter the plateau.
Because entering the plateau along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, although the first thing to cross is the Kunlun Mountains, because the time to enter the plateau is still short, people generally do not have high reactions. By the time they reach Wudaoliang, most people will start to have altitude sickness.
The altitude of Wudaoliang is not low, and the surrounding land has a high mercury content, so there is almost no vegetation, which leads to a decrease in oxygen levels.
Wudaoliang is considered to be the most difficult section of the Qinghai-Tibet line, and it is prone to altitude sickness. It is generally believed that as long as the five beams can be crossed safely, the Tanggula Pass is not a big problem.
Therefore, tourists or drivers who enter the plateau are very uncomfortable when they arrive at Wudaoliang.
There is a saying that is enough to prove the horror of Wudaoliang - when you reach Wudaoliang, crying dad and calling mother!
There is also a saying that is even more terrifying - Na Chitai is sick, and Wudaoliang is dying!
Nachitai is a scenic spot less than 100 kilometers away from Garmu, with an altitude of 3,005 and a half, where there is a Kunlun holy spring that does not freeze all year round.
This town of only more than 200 people is good to talk about in the summer, but since October, Wudaoliang has entered a special state, because from October onwards, even the town has to use large water trucks to pull water from other places, which is enough to prove the hardship here.
Li Lishan's wife, Wang Li, began to have a high reaction in Wudaoliang yesterday, but her high reaction was not very serious, so she persevered until Yanshiping became unbearable. If she hadn't met Lao Liu, it is estimated that this trip to Tibet would have been unforgettable for her.
In the case of a relapse of Wudaoliang, if the symptoms are mild, it can be relieved by inhaling oxygen and drinking hot water. But if the symptoms are severe, the best thing to do is to withdraw to Karmun.
Of course, you can insist on not evacuating, but that is really dangerous. Well, this danger refers to death!
This is not blown, there are many people who once thought that they could carry it, insisted on it, and as a result, they never got up after a sleep......
It's a sad thing.
Therefore, tourists and drivers who enter the plateau from the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, once a high reversal occurs in Wudaoliang, as long as the symptoms worsen, it is better to retreat to Karmu than nothing else. Don't be stubborn, because the result of hard support is that there is a great possibility of leaving your life on the plateau forever!
In fact, in terms of Lao Liu's physique, if he first entered Tibet by taking the Qinghai-Tibet line by himself, it is estimated that he would not even be able to pass the hurdle of five beams.
Although there will be a high reaction when flying directly to Sunshine City by plane, after all, the altitude of Sunshine City is much lower than that of Wudaoliang, and the oxygen content of the air in Sunshine City is much higher than that of Wudaoliang, so Lao Liu can stick to it.
Now he has no problem, after Wudaoliang has lunch, he has crossed the Kunlun Mountain in one breath, and killed Garmu in the evening.
It took two full days and one night to complete this journey of more than 1,000 kilometers, looking back at the towering Kunlun Mountain in the distance, Lao Liu was also full of emotion in his heart.
It is said that self-driving travel is a very fun thing, but people who have not driven the Qinghai-Tibet line must not imagine how good their Qinghai-Tibet line is.
The scenery here is extremely beautiful, but you must also pay attention to altitude sickness, which can kill people!
I stayed in Garmu for one night, and on the third day, I got on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway early in the morning, and went to Tianqu, which was more than 2,000 kilometers away......
