Live Your Best Lives
In August 2021, he and his lover drove a Mazda 6 sedan from the 318 Sichuan-Tibet South Line to Tibet and the 109 Qinghai-Tibet Line out of Tibet, passing through Ya'an, Luding, Kangding, Xinduqiao, Yajiang, Litang, Daocheng Yaden, Batang, Zuogong, Basu, Bomi, Nyingchi, Lhasa, Nagqu, Tanggula Mountain Town, and Golmud, and completed the 318 Sichuan into and out of the bicycle self-driving itinerary in and out of Qingdao in 15 days.
Due to special reasons, there are very few self-driving cars on the 318 line, and there are very few riders, and they have not caught up with the rainy season of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line, and there have been no landslides and mudslides. A few sections of the 318 line such as Haitonggou, Jueba Mountain, and Bomi are under construction, and the road conditions in some places are poor, making it very difficult for cars to pass and easy to hit the chassis. The 109 Qinghai-Tibet Line is above 4,000 meters above sea level, there are many large cars, passing through no man's land for a long time, the road conditions in some places are not good, it is difficult for cars to pass, my speed is basically about 4,050, if you don't pay attention to the fast speed, you will support the chassis. The 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line and the 109 Qinghai-Tibet Line are both running through the mountains and mountains, high altitude, many curves, narrow roads, many ups and downs, drive very carefully, to overcome the physical fatigue of long-distance driving and possible high reactions, be sure to slow down and drive slowly when meeting the car, and do not overtake in places with poor visibility such as curves and ramps. When traveling long distances, you must develop the habit of checking the condition of the vehicle in a timely manner, especially the condition of the tires.
Previously, we read the self-driving tour guide on the Sichuan-Tibet Line and the Qinghai-Tibet Line on the Internet, and also planned the tour route, but later due to the impact of masks, the itinerary was not fully arranged according to the original plan. Tests were carried out in Daocheng County, Zuogong County, Basu County, Lhasa City, and Golmud City.
From Hanzhong to Ya'an, you have to pass through the Qinling Mountains, and there are many tunnels on the highway.

OnOriginally planned to stay in Batang County. Since Yajiang County did not require a test report, we inquired online in advance that Batang County did not have a requirement for a test report, thinking that Yajiang County and Batang County both belong to Sichuan Province, and we were going to go to Batang County for testing again. We arrived at the checkpoint in Batang County at about 3 p.m., and were told that we were not allowed to enter without a test report, so we could only return to Litang County, and saw that many cars were turning around here and returning to Litang, and Litang County could only do testing every morning, not in the afternoon, and the road to other cities was too far, and the time was too late, so we could only stay in Litang County at an altitude of 3,900 meters. At night, I had a headache, confusion, nausea, shortness of breath and other symptoms, which was very uncomfortable, but fortunately, I drank some hot water, hot porridge, took some medicine, added warm clothes, and slowly survived, and the next day I basically had no symptoms. We brought a 10-liter oxygen cylinder (friends who had been to Tibet were afraid that we would lend it to us), and bought 4 small cans of portable oxygen

On theSince I was in Litang County at an altitude of 3900 meters yesterday, my lover did not have a high rebellion, we decided to go to Daocheng Aden at a relatively low altitude to adapt to the plateau climate, and Daocheng Aden Scenic Area does not need to be tested.It is already noon to arrive at Shangri-La Town, Daocheng County, from Litang County, after eating and arranging accommodation, drive directly to Daocheng Aden Scenic Area for about 20 minutes, and the scenic spot ticket is valid for 2 days. The short route we took in the afternoon visited Xiannai Ri, the Pearl Sea (Dolma Latso) and Chonggu Temple. Shangri-La Town is very lively at night, with restaurants, shopping malls, pharmacies, and hotels available for replenishment and rest.

Today, continue to visit the long line of Daocheng Aden Scenic Area. In the morning, we took a bus from the gate of the scenic spot for more than 1 hour to reach the scenic spot, walked for a while to the Chonggu grassland under the Chonggu Temple, and took a battery car for another hour to reach the Luorong Cattle Farm. At this time, you can choose to ride a horse or walk 3 kilometers, horseback riding is charged and can only be 3 kilometers one way (no back), and then climb about 2 kilometers to reach the milk sea and the five-color sea at an altitude of about 4,700 meters, and the last 2 kilometers of climbing above 4,200 meters above sea level is a test of everyone's physical strength and willpower, and the return 5 kilometers also requires everyone to measure with their feet, and after walking through this 10 kilometers, you can truly understand the meaning of "the eyes are in heaven, the body is in hell".
After entering from the gate of the scenic spot, the bus will stop in a parking area for a short time, and tourists can overlook the Xiannai Ri Sacred Mountain and the village of Aden.

Tourists to the Milk Sea and the Sea of Five Colors will have to endure physical and willpower climbing above 4,200 meters above sea level.
In the morning, I went to Daocheng County Hospital for testing, and the hospital said that the results would be released at 6 p.m., and paper and electronic versions could be issued. Since the results can be found online, we will continue to Batang County without waiting for the paper results. The road conditions from Litang County to Batang County are very good, and the scenery on both sides is also very beautiful, but there are many speed limit points on the side of the road, so you must pay attention to controlling the speed.

OnThis day was spent walking through mountains and canyons, and the long journey was very hard.When I left Batang County and was about to reach the Jinsha River Bridge, there was a section of road under construction, which was very difficult to walk, and it was difficult for cars to pass. Haitong Gully is still under road construction, a long section is a gravel road, the overall road condition is very good, and there are few cars. The Jueba Mountain section is very steep, it has been driving on the high mountainside, and it is impossible to see the bottom below, there are no guardrails in many turning places, the road surface is narrow and difficult to car, the parking area is very few and simple, and some sections are under construction, which is very difficult to walk. However, seeing that tunnels are being built in many places, it should not be so dangerous to drive on this road in the future.
Batang County to Mangkang County, not far in front of the Jinsha River Bridge, this section of the road is under construction, and it is very difficult for cars to pass.

August, the water of Ranwu Lake is earthy yellow, a little muddy, not as turquoise as seen on the Internet, and it is also another beautiful scenery. Because we learned that the road from Lulang to Nyingchi would be closed for a day, in order not to delay the trip, we decided to give up the stay of Bomi and Lulang, cross the Sejila Mountains overnight, and rush to Nyingchi City at night. Maybe everyone knows the news, the road is suddenly crowded, there are a lot of vehicles, and when passing through several places where the road conditions are not good due to construction, there is a short-term congestion, which can be regarded as experiencing the traffic jam on Line 318. At this time, the passing performance of the SUV is reflected, and it is very difficult for the car to go bad. After running all the way, wearing the stars and the moon, surrounded by dangers, it is very difficult, and I am a little afraid. Tell yourself: In the future, you must follow the truth of not rushing at night when traveling long distances.

OnI originally wanted to enter Lhasa City through the Mira Pass at an altitude of 5013 meters above sea level on Line 318. We set off from Nyingchi City to take the Linla Highway, take the 318 National Highway to Mira Pass on the lower road in Gongbu Jiangda Town, it rained lightly when departing from Nyingchi City, the sky was sunny and rainy along the way along the 318 line, and when we were about to reach the Mira Pass, it was suddenly cloudy, and there was hail the size of rice grains, the visibility was very low, and we couldn't see 30 meters, for the sake of safety, we decided to go down the mountain and walk back slowly, along the Linla Highway, and later, we passed the Mira Mountain Tunnel on the Linla Highway, and there were some regrets that we didn't see the Mira Pass, After passing the Mira Mountain Tunnel, the weather gradually cleared up, and it was already clear to Lhasa, and the weather on the plateau was really changeable.

Yang Zhuo Yongcuo is in Shannan City, and he needs to climb mountains, with many curves and cars, so he should pay attention to driving safety. There is a scenic ticket office on the right side of the checkpoint in the southern part of the mountain, 60 yuan per person (this can be saved, and there is no ticket check in the observation deck in several parking areas), and you can go straight to Yangzhuo Yongcuo without entering.

In early August, starting from Ya'an, Sichuan, the 318 line entered Tibet, and the 15-day Sichuan entry and youth trip felt a bit tight, and I was on the road every day, driving for about 8 hours a day, but fortunately, the scenery was on the road, stopping and walking, checking in and taking pictures, leaving a lot of good memories. Our trip in and out of Sichuan is still very smooth, the weather is sunny, there are few cars along the way, there are few people, accommodation, eating and shopping are also very convenient, for us, this trip is unique and unforgettable.
