After the car continued to 318, it continued to move along the Nikko River.

At this time, the amount of water in the Sunshine River was far less than when Lao Liu first came up.

Winter has arrived on the plateau, and the water volume of many rivers, including the Yajiang River, has decreased significantly.

It will not be until after May next year when the glaciers begin to melt again that the water in the river will be abundant again.

From the changes in the amount of water in the river, you can see the cycle of nature throughout the year.

When I was about to leave Nikko City, the road forked. One is a two-way, four-lane high-grade highway with guardrails on both sides, which is the Linla Expressway from Nikko City to Bayi. Although the other one is also very wide, Lao Liu knows that it is National Highway 318.

The way out of the city is smooth, but on the other side of the road, that is, on the side of the road into the city, there is a checkpoint that covers a large area. At the corner of the fork stands a huge triangular billboard, on which you can see the advertisement for mutual aid barley wine from a distance......

"I'm going to get on the highway, you have to think about it. If you get on the highway, it will be difficult to get down. ”

"Let's go, didn't I tell you to let you have an idea?" Chu Qian glanced at Lao Liu and continued to lower her head and fiddle with her phone.

Lao Liu smiled slightly, did not turn signal, but drove along the current road and entered the Linla Expressway.

There are no toll stations, two-way four-lane fully closed sections, and the speed limit for small cars is 100 kilometers and 80 kilometers for large vehicles except for tunnels. There are no emergency lanes, just an area similar to an emergency parking zone every two or three kilometers or so, where there is an extra lane of lane.

This is the Linla Expressway, which is one of the few expressways that have been opened to traffic in the entire plateau, and it is also the longest section of the expressway in the plateau.

In fact, strictly speaking, although this highway looks like a highway on the surface, it can't actually be called a highway, and the exact name is a high-grade highway.

Nationally, there are currently only two provinces that do not charge for highways, one is Qiongdao and the other is the plateau.

As we all know, the reason why there is no toll station in Qiongdao is because Qiongdao will be road maintenance fees, road transport management fees, tolls, bridge tolls "four fees in one", unified collection of motor vehicle fuel surcharges, although there is no toll station, but when refueling need to pay fuel surcharges, so the oil price in Qiongdao is more expensive than other places, although there is no toll station, but in essence, it is equivalent to paying tolls.

But there really is no toll station on the plateau, and the situation on the plateau is completely different from that of Qiongdao.

In the plateau, whether it is an ordinary national highway, a provincial highway or a newly built highway, there is no charge. The reason for this situation is inseparable from the state's vigorous support for the plateau.

Everyone knows that there is a famous saying, called "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads", and the plateau, as a vast and sparsely populated province with inconvenient transportation, must first repair the roads if you want to get rich.

Most of the plateau is mountainous, and the purpose of road construction is mainly to improve the transportation of the plateau, so as to bring convenience to people's life and travel. The purpose of the state to invest heavily in road construction in the plateau is to improve the local people's livelihood and help promote the economic development of the plateau.

The cost of building roads in the highlands is much higher than in the plains. For example, in Dongshan, the cost of building a one-kilometer highway is about 30 million, but in the plateau, this figure is at least multiplied by five!

Take Lao Liu's Linla Expressway as an example, the length of 400 kilometers is as high as 38 billion yuan just for static investment!

Note that this is only a static investment, and if you calculate it according to a dynamic investment, the cost of this road is even more prohibitive.

But even with such a huge investment, this highway is still free of charge!

Take a peek and see the whole leopard.

Just from the fact that there is no toll on the Linla Expressway, you can see how much the state supports the plateau!

This is simply support regardless of cost and return!

The speed limit on this road is 100 kilometers per car. This speed is not high, but this is not because of the road conditions and the speed limit, on the contrary, the road conditions are quite good, if it weren't for the cruise speed of this Cruiser, you would definitely be speeding without knowing if you were driving on this road......

Although the road surface is not wide, it is so flat that you want to shout loudly.

Lao Liu turned on the car stereo, and the melody of the classic "Hotel California" of the Eagle Band flowed out, and even Chu Qian, who had been fiddling with her mobile phone, couldn't help but start shaking along with the melody.

"I walked this road once two months ago, but that time I walked it on my own. Chu Qian glanced at Lao Liu.

Feeling his girlfriend's eyes, Lao Liu smiled: "If I chased you and chased you when I met you for the first time, then I could accompany you when you came here that time." ”

Chu Qian glanced at Lao Liu charmingly, and then smiled: "If you chase me at that time, I probably won't agree." You gave me the impression that you were a dog walking and playing with birds. ”

"Wouldn't it? I gave you such a bad first impression?"

"It's not bad, but it's definitely not much better!" Chu Qian said with a smile, "I still clearly remember that you wanted to enter the store with the white lion, and you told me that the white lion wanted to buy a car." Do you remember?"

"Hehe, who made you so spicy and beautiful, I can't help but want to talk to you for a while. ”

"Anyway, the first time we met, you didn't leave a good impression on me. Chu Qian raised her head arrogantly, and her chin and neck showed an astonishing soft arc.

Lao Liu slowed down a little and controlled the speed of the car to about ninety, and then continued to ask: "Then why did you dare to go to the inn alone to find me after we met for the second time?

"Phew, where is your face so big? Miss Ben doesn't look down on you. ”

"Then why did you go all the way to the inn to find me?"

"I just think you're quite interesting, and that time you took the initiative to stay outside and not bring the white lion in, I think that although you seem to have a lot of flowers, you are actually a good person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left you your contact information. Besides, it's 9102 now, and I went to the inn to find you just as a friend, don't think about it. ”

"Then why did you agree to associate with me in Namco?"

Chu Qian blushed, bit her lower lip and snorted for a while before she said bravely: "Because after those few days of getting along, I think the biggest advantage of you is that you are responsible, and I feel very secure by your side." ”

"Haha, that's right! It seems that you have a good eye, and you can discover my greatest strength in such a short period of time. Lao Liu laughed heartily.

Chu Qian gave Lao Liu a white eye that was a little bigger than the solar system, and said angrily: "Do you know that you have another advantage?"

"Of course, for example, Yushu Linfeng, for example, is humorous, for example, young and golden, for example, outstanding literary talent...... Well, I don't know what aspect of my merits Miss Chu is referring to?"

Chu Qian was amused and giggled, patted Lao Liu and said, "You guy, the other biggest advantage is that you have no face and no skin......"

The white lion snored twice in the back, staring at the father and mother who sprinkled dog food in front of him with a pair of small eyes.

"In front is the service area of Ganden Temple, do you want to go to Ganden Temple to have a look?" Lao Liu glanced at the mobile phone navigation and asked.

You can go directly down to National Highway 318 from the service area of Gaden Monastery, and then walk back along National Highway 318 for a while, and you can turn onto the road to Gaden Monastery. However, halfway through this road, I started to climb the mountain, and that section of the winding mountain road was very enjoyable.

Chu Qian tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "I'm not going." I'm not very interested in this aspect. ”

"I said you wouldn't have been to the Cloth Palace or the Jokhang Temple, right?"

"I've been to the Cloth Palace once, but I didn't go to Jokhang Temple, I just walked around Barkhor Street. ”

"Then you're better than me, I haven't even been to the cloth palace until now. ”

"The main thing is that I'm not very interested in this aspect, I like to play in the mountains. ”

"Haha, so do I. Well, what's this called? Yes, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door, you say, right?"

Chu Qian glanced at Lao Liu, but the corners of her mouth secretly pulled up.

Since Chu Qian is reluctant to go to Ganden Temple, then continue to walk.

The car quickly passed the Mozhu Gong Ka, and then the road left the Riguang River Valley and turned into the Mozhu Maqu River Valley.

There are very few cars on the road, and sometimes you can't see a car coming from the opposite side for several minutes.

The mountains on both sides of the road are still like Nikko Castle, bare and without any trees. In addition, winter is coming, and the mountains on both sides are even more depressed.

Lao Liu couldn't help but complain about this scenery.

"Actually, the scenery here is okay in summer, at least the mountains on both sides can see the green. Not now, the meadows on the mountains are all yellow, and they are really not pretty. However, when you pass the Mira Pass, you will be able to see trees on both sides of the mountain, and the scenery will be beautiful. ”

"Mt. Mira, the highest of the fourteen mountain passes on the Sichuan-Tibet Line?"

"Hmm. Chu Qian nodded, "Well, not far further forward should be the Mira Mountain Tunnel." I remember that there seemed to be a freshly covered service area on this side of the tunnel where I could take a break. ”

The road made another 90-degree bend, leaving the Mozhu Maqu River Valley and heading north along a small river valley.

After walking about twelve kilometers or so, a huge service area appeared in front of me.

Lao Liu looked in the rearview mirror, then turned on the turn signal and moved closer to the right lane, and then drove into the ramp and entered the service area that was obviously not long built.

"It doesn't seem to be marked on the map that this service area, but there is a sign of 'Riduo Hot Spring' erected here, could this be the Riduo service area?"

"This shouldn't be the Riduo service area, we have already passed by the Riduo service area just now. If I'm not mistaken, this is the site where the Mira Mountain Tunnel was built. After the construction of the Mira Mountain Tunnel, this large area was empty and empty, and it was converted into a service area. Isn't there the Mira Mountain Tunnel up ahead, and I think there's a lot of space at the end of the tunnel. ”

As soon as Lao Liu said this, Chu Qian could be regarded as figuring out the origin of this service area.

The service area is empty, and although there are many shops and other buildings in it, it doesn't look like it's open. It seems that except for a Sinopec gas station, even the toilets are not open. The entire service area was empty, and there was no one to be seen, and I was a little panicked.

And the scenery here is also very average, except for the Mira Mountain Tunnel in front, looking around, only a few distant hills can faintly see glaciers.

Although Mira Mountain is the highest mountain pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line, the altitude here is not too high, even the highest mountain in the west is only 5,67 meters above sea level, which is comparable to the height of the snow line.

After getting used to seeing the high mountains of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain with an altitude of more than 6,000 and the glaciers that have not melted for thousands of years, and then looking at the mountains here, Lao Liu has no sense of shock at all.

However, the air here is still very good, cold and crisp.

Lao Liu lit a cigarette and moved his body, and there was a "gaba" sound at some joints of his body.

The white lion excitedly spread joy in the distance, and from time to time pouted a hind leg to leave its scent here.

"Liu Moang, look here, how can this lake have such a strange name?" Chu Qian walked over with her mobile phone.

Lao Liu was also happy when he saw the name on the map, how could there be a lake called "What's wrong with time"? But then Lao Liu remembered the name he had said when he was chatting with Li Junyi before.

"Daughter-in-law, this lake is not called Time Latso, the real name of this lake should be Sijin Latso, and Time Lag is the transliteration of Sijin Latso. ”

"Sijin Latso?" Chu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed as well.

Isn't the transliteration of Sijin Latso just a mistake of time pulling?

Chu Qian lowered her head and pulled her mobile phone, and then said excitedly: "Liu Moang, it's quite famous for pulling wrong at this time." Legend has it that this lake is the residence of the 'rich king of dragons', and every year on the 15th day of the sixth month of the Tibetan calendar, many Rinpoche come to pay their respects......"

Chu Qian talked a lot about the mobile phone, and Lao Liu was stunned when he heard it.

Lao Liu didn't expect that this lake, which didn't look big on the map, would be so famous.

After coming to the plateau, Lao Liu Guang had heard of the three holy lakes on the plateau, and he had never heard of this Sijin Latso before. As a result, I didn't expect that the status of this lake in the hearts of Tibetan compatriots was not lower than that of the three sacred lakes, and even many high-ranking Rinpoche came to worship, which is really amazing.

You must know that even if you look at the entire plateau, there are not many sacred lakes that Rinpoche can worship in person, and in addition to the three sacred lakes, Lao Liu has really never heard of that sacred lake that Rinpoche can come to worship.

But this small Divine Lake obviously has such qualifications!

"Liu Moang, can you go down here?" It seemed that Chu Qian was also tempted.

"Shouldn't it be possible? Doesn't this sign say '500 meters from the exit of Hita Onsen?Since there is this sign, it means that you can go down to 318 from here. ”

From the map, if you want to get to Sikinlatso from here, you have to go down to National Highway 318, and then on the way over the Mila Pass, there will be a small road that leads directly to Sikinlatso.

"Then why don't we go to this time to take a look?The name of this lake is so interesting, don't you feel a little sorry if you don't go?" Chu Qian winked at Lao Liu.

"Then let's go!" Lao Liu extinguished his cigarette butt and whistled into the distance, and the white lion who was spreading joy in the distance suddenly roared twice and ran back quickly.

"Let's go, daughter-in-law. Thief, get in the car, let's also go to worship the time is wrong. ”
