Live Your Best Lives
This year, I have time, and I can finally go to see the colorful forest and see the long-awaited autumn colors. I originally planned to go to Qinling, because I went to Qinling on National Day in 2019, which left a good impression on me, and I wanted to see Prince Ridge, Gaojiang Road, Liuba, and Huangbaiyuan when the forest was dyed. The route has been planned, it is planned to set off on October 30, who knew that a new round of epidemic began on the day of October, Gansu and Shaanxi were involved, the epidemic became more and more serious a week before departure, and the control measures were constantly escalated, for the sake of safety, it was decided to cancel the trip to the Qinling Mountains, but I didn't want to waste this long-awaited autumn color, fortunately, Sichuan did not have it, so I traveled west of Sichuan, and roughly planned the route again: Mianyang - Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou - Heishui - Jinchuan - Danba - Xinduqiao.
The day before departure, the girl accidentally caught a cold, and I really wanted her to go with her, but considering that the place I went to was a bit altitude and safety came first, the girl didn't go this time. On the morning of the 30th, I ate rice noodles with the girl, played for a long time, and after sending her to my grandparents' house, Young Master Yang and I drove off.
D1: October 30th, Mianyang-Pingwu, staying at Shuiyun Longzhou Hotel
because the girl is not traveling, we canceled the Huanglong we had been to, drove to Pingwu for half a day, and ate rattan pepper fish in Fat Brother Fish Village for dinner, which I met by chance when I came to Pingwu during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, the taste is very good, and the parking is convenient, so I came again this time.
D2: On October 31, Pingwu-Jiuzhaigou, stayed at Jiuzhaigou Zhuo'an Warm Inn
After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we drove to Jiuzhaigou, out of Pingwu County, and took the national highway from Pingwu to Jiuzhaigou, also called Pingnan Road, Jiuzhaigou County was originally called Nanping County. Shortly after leaving the county seat, the autumn colors slowly came, and the autumn colors became stronger and stronger in the mountains. We walked all the way, looked all the way, the scenery was beautiful and stopped, I didn't expect the autumn colors of Pingwu to be so beautiful, if I came a few days later, the red and yellow ones were even more intense, I would come again next year, maybe every year...
walked and watched and played, after 6 p.m. to Jiuzhaigou, 25 years ago in June, now it has become unrecognizable, To get to the booked inn, you can only follow the navigation.Due to the impact of the epidemic, we are the only guests staying tonight, and maybe there will not be many tourists entering the ditch tomorrow, which is what I am looking forward to, hehe! After dinner, when I returned to the room, I washed up and went to bed, turned on the electric blanket, and used the temperature of the electric blanket to warm my right ankle.
D3: November 1st, Jiuzhaigou, stay in Jiuzhaigou Zhuo'an Warm Inn
inn breakfast, porridge, eggs, highland barley cakes, side dishes, if the girl comes, she must make instant noodles by herself, I prepared before departure, for this reason, I also went to the vegetable market to buy 10 yuan a pound of pea tips, but the girl didn't come, the pea tips were also brought to my grandparents, and I ate them in the evening, this road will definitely be called a food desert by the girl, haha. After breakfast, the innkeeper sent us to the gate of the scenic spot in his own car, showed the health code and itinerary code, and we successfully got on the scenic bus and started a day trip in the ditch. The beauty of Jiuzhaigou is limited to my very low Chinese level, look at the picture, and I don't think the picture is as beautiful as it sees.
Back to the inn, I heard the boss say that the number of people entering the ditch today is only 3,000 people, and I myself made up the scene of 3 or 40,000 people according to the situation I experienced today, tsk, tsk, Don't imagine it.There are two more guests in the inn tonight.
D4: November 2, Jiuzhaigou-Heishui, stay at Heishui Yuelai Inn
Breakfast is still the same, porridge, eggs, highland barley cakes, side dishes, after eating we set off for Heishui County, we took through Hongyuan to Heishui, Jiuzhaigou to Hongyuan is called Jiuhong Scenic Road, snow drifted on the road, passing by an observation deck on the way, here is already snowy, the snow-capped mountains in the distance are so beautiful.
It was a stop-and-go all the way, almost 7 o'clock before I arrived at Heishui, and I showed the health code near the county seat, and I didn't know it after passing through the milk ditch Cailin, because it was dark, and I saw two loudspeakers at the gate of the sheep and soft hade Tibetan village before I reacted. Staying in the inn, the innkeeper asked about our place of departure and destination, and registered the corresponding situation, there have been cases in Chengdu, fortunately, Mianyang is still safe, we have not been disliked, now we are always paying attention to the situation, ready to retreat home at any time.
D5: November 3, Heishui-Jinchuan Guanyin Bridge, stay at Jinchuan Tara Linka Hotel
This morning to visit Heishui Niuzigou Cailin, Dagu Glacier will not go, because I feel that the cost performance is low, the key weather is not very good, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of ocean cable cars to go up to see a fog and loneliness. Niuzigou Cailin is located on both sides of National Highway 347 near the county seat, yesterday it was dark and I didn't notice it at all, Yang Ronghade Tibetan Village, because when checking Chengdu tourists last night, there were residents of Chengdu Jinniu District in the village, and the village was closed to the outside world since last night, so we couldn't enter the village today, but we could still see a little on the side of the road outside, it was a beautiful village. There was also a small episode when playing, the left rear tire of the car didn't know when a nail was stuck, and we also returned to the county seat to repair the tire, safety first.
was noon after the tour of Cailin, and we ate self-heating rice in a parking area on the side of the road and drove to Jinchuan. Turning from National Highway 347 to National Highway 248, the road began to narrow, and it felt like it had entered the mountainous area, and the traffic flow also soared. I arrived at Guanyin Bridge at 6 p.m., and showed the health code and itinerary code as usual when entering the town, but fortunately, it was another smooth day. We found a hotel to set up our accommodation, had dinner at a Sichuan restaurant in the town, and listened to the boss's introduction that the vegetables and meat here are shipped from Chengdu every day. After dinner, we strolled back to the hotel, and a large prayer wheel stood brightly at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and we also went to see the Simmering Sun Pagoda in the dark, thinking that if it came early in the afternoon, we would go to worship the Guanyin Temple on the mountain.
Back at the hotel, we checked the kilometers from Guanyin Bridge to Xindu Bridge, originally planned to go to Danba tomorrow, stay in Danba, visit Jiaju Tibetan Village or Zhonglu Tibetan Village, in view of the current epidemic, we decided not to stay in Danba, directly to Xindu Bridge, Danba Tibetan Village car tour.
D6: November 4th, Jinchuan Guanyin Bridge - Xindu Bridge, stay for 7 days The hotel
has more than 7 hours of driving today, we finished breakfast, or went to see the Simmering Sun Pagoda, Guanyin Temple did not go, although I really wanted to go, I chose to live here for Guanyin Temple, but today I decided to go to Xinduqiao, I could only give up.
We drove out of Guanyin Bridge, and after turning from National Highway 317 to National Highway 248, we encountered traffic control due to road construction, only two time periods were released, 11 o'clock-13 o'clock, 17 o'clock-19 o'clock, we had to obediently stop and wait, now it is 9:50, and we have to wait for 1 hour. Young Master Yang said that if he had known this, he would have gone to Guanyin Temple first, and I gave him a blank look, how could he have known so much earlier.When we stopped and waited, because we were about to arrive in Jinchuan County, we were asked to check the health code and itinerary code, during which we witnessed a car with a Chongqing A license plate being persuaded to return, so it was better to complete the journey quickly.
At 10:40, we were actually notified of the release, we were ecstatic, hurriedly got in the car and set off, passed through Jinchuan County, entered Danba, and was stopped to check the health code, itinerary code, this intensive inspection made us feel a little nervous, when we stopped for lunch at noon, I called the accommodation hotel, consulted the epidemic policy of Xinduqiao to be slightly relieved, continue to go, it should be fine. Passing through Danbajia Ju Tibetan Village, we thought we could see a little bit on the side of the road, but when we navigated to the Tibetan village, we only saw a scenic spot gate standing there, nothing could be seen, Young Master Yang did not give up, and walked to the scenic spot visitor center to ask and wait, tsk, he has always had the characteristics of Internet celebrity check-in, no, on the way, passing through Moshi Park and Tagong Grassland, although he did not enter the scenic spot, but he still had to take pictures at the door.
At half past 6 p.m., we arrived at Xinduqiao, checked in, and ate the best meal since going out, matsutake mushroom chicken soup pot at the Leshan restaurant next to the 7th day. After dinner, I went back to my room, and Young Master Yang went to the hotel counter to ask about the route, and he actually found out that Zimeiya Pass could still go up and pass from Gongga Township.
D7: November 5th, Xinduqiao, stay for 7 days The hotel
decided to go to Zimeiyakou to see Gongga Snow Mountain today, the Shili Gallery in Xinduqiao did not bring us surprises, because we came from Pingwu, Jiuzhaigou, Heishui, Hongyuan, the weather is excellent today, the sky is clear, you should be able to see Gongga Snow Mountain.
After breakfast, we drove away, originally we booked two nights and 7 days of accommodation, afraid that we would not be able to come back tonight, so we temporarily returned to the counter for a day's accommodation, ready to go and rest, of course, it is best to rush back to Xinduqiao, after all, the accommodation conditions here are much better, and we also have to thank the little sister at the 7-day counter for helping us unsubscribe.
Coming out of Xindu Bridge, the scenery was very good all the way, but our thoughts were all on Zimeiya Pass and Gongga Snow Mountain, so we didn't stop and stay. Not long after passing Gongga Township, in the direction of Zimei Yakou, because of the road construction, two checkpoints were set up, and the health code had to be shown, and the registration was also required, and the road surface became a gravel road, but fortunately, the road surface was still very wide. After a fork, we officially headed towards Zimeiyakou, and the road began to go up, constantly turning and climbing. Walking on this road, I realized what it means to be a wild road, what is a bump, what is a fear, the road surface is full of large and small stones, I am very worried, afraid of a flat tire, if I know that this is the road condition, I will resolutely not come, but Young Master Yang said that this kind of road is no problem, just drive slowly. I could only stare at the road, hoping in my heart to see the navigation, but unfortunately the mobile phone signal was gone. The car was spinning around the mountain, feeling that a long time had passed, looking around, how could there be a snow-capped mountain, why hasn't it arrived yet! When we silently turned a 180-degree bend and rose a few meters higher, a snow-capped mountain appeared on our right, and with a "wow" exclamation, I realized what it means to "turn around the peak", Zimeiya Pass arrived, I saw the Gongga Snow Mountain, the king of Shushan, it was so close to me, I really didn't expect me to be able to see it so clearly, it was amazing, it would be nice if the girl could come together.
The wind was very strong at the pass, we stayed for more than half an hour, and then went down the mountain and started the stone road again, although we were still excited to see the Gongga Snow Mountain, but we were still worried as we walked. Walking out of Zimeiya Pass and returning to the main road, I suddenly felt that the gravel road was a flat road. We also went to Quanhua Beach, but Leng Gatso didn't go, because Leng Gatso had to climb 4,600 meters by himself and couldn't drive up, and felt that the preparation for climbing was not sufficient, so let's save it for the next opportunity.
After visiting Quanhua Beach, see that the time is still early, you can rush back to Xinduqiao to stay, this area is called Yulong West Village, Gongga Township, there is also a lot of accommodation, but the conditions are still much worse, I want to rest well at night, so I decided to go back to Xinduqiao for 7 days to stay, rest well, and tomorrow I will turn over the mountains.
D8: On November 6, Xinduqiao - Mianyang
decided to return today because the weather forecast showed that it would snow on the 7th, fearing that the traffic restrictions would be high.Breakfast in the small shop next to the hotel in the morning, was asked by the boss to register, haha, yesterday morning only needed to scan the health code, today I asked not only to scan the code, but also to register, fortunately, in the past few days, Mianyang has not been in a situation, and today I actually have a sense of relief on the way back, I don't know if the future travel will be in this state.
After breakfast and departure, the front windshield of the car condensed with snowflake-like ice dew.
The traffic flow is very large, and several large temporary parking areas have been built along the way, perhaps to avoid emergencies such as rain and snow, and the car travels to the highest point. Looking at the surrounding mountains, the scenery is unique.
Going down Zheduo Mountain is Kangding City, and you can go all the way to the highway from here. At the entrance of the Kangding Expressway, I saw that the cars at the exit of the opposite expressway were neatly lined up and mighty, and they were inspected one by one. On the highway, start to drill tunnels, one after another, as if swimming in the water for a while, come out of the water and take a breath and drill into the water to swim, from Kangding on the highway, drilling out of the tunnel to Luding, the first time I have a feeling of loneliness driving on the highway, I miss the national highway I have walked all the way.
We stopped for lunch in the Tianquan service area, and because we had plenty of time, we deliberately added a self-heating hot pot. After lunch slowly, we set off again, and in order to avoid passing through Chengdu, we carefully checked the navigation route when navigating. After the whole day, it was raining all the way, and the car was too dirty, so it was just right to wash the car. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we left the Mianyang Expressway, I thought I would check the health code, but there was none, and the 8-day autumn tour ended perfectly.
