Live Your Best Lives
Since the Spring Festival in 2020, I returned to my teammates' hometown of Sichuan for the Spring Festival, and in the blink of an eye, I haven't gone back for four years, and I planned to go home to visit my parents early this year, and go to Shennongjia and Chengdu on the way. Shennongjia's itinerary was in vain again. The daughter said that the word Shennongjia is poisonous, my family has a shallow relationship with her, and I planned to go to Shennongjia during the Spring Festival in 2020, but the whole Hubei was completely blocked, this time I wanted to make up for Shennongjia, suffering from road conditions, and wanted to go home for the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve, so I could only give up Shennongjia.
At the end of January, I began to pay attention to the weather and road conditions in Sichuan, and this year's weather is also strange, in early February, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou widespread freezing rain and snowfall, road surface icing, resulting in the almost suspension of the Hubei expressway network, Shanghai-Rong, Shanghai-Chongqing Hubei section is fully congested, Looking at online reports, the highway has been blocked for several days and nights. The high-speed rail bullet train cannot buy tickets temporarily, and the air tickets are too expensive, so you can only prepare snow chains, watch while walking, and adjust the route at any time.
D1 (February 5): Nanjing--Xianning
Due to the work of teammates, the original plan to depart on February 4 was delayed until noon on February 5, and then departed from Nanjing, passing through Ma'anshan-Wuhu-Tongling--Qichun-Xianning, this route, the road conditions are okay, did not encounter a long-term traffic jam, more than 600 kilometers, took 7 and a half hours, successfully arrived in Xianning at 19:40 in the evening, and stayed at the Qianshanli Health Hot Spring Hotel.

After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, look at the road conditions, go to the highway to Yichang, congested and closed roads everywhere, wait like this in Xianning, it's not a problem, think about it, or take a detour to Yichang. From Xianning to Wuhan, take the Qijia Expressway to the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, walk to the Wuhan Caidian exit, the road is closed in front of G4, you can only get off the highway, navigate to Hanchuan, follow the navigation all the way to the river embankment road, the road surface is all ice, all the way to the road is fearful, and the turtle is moving forward at speed. There are still a lot of vehicles on the Jiangdi Road, this road condition is easy to rear-end collisions, decisively leave the Jiangdi Road, go to Hanchuan and then get on National Highway 347, towards Yingcheng, pass through Jingshan, stay in Zhongxiang at night, depart from Xianning Hotel at 9:45 a.m. this morning, arrive at the hotel at 8 p.m., a total of more than 300 kilometers, Wuhan section of ice and snow roads, the national highway passes through villages and towns with serious traffic jams, and the driving time is long, but fortunately, it is getting closer and closer to Yichang.

Today's first stop, Yichang Changyang Tianzhu Mountain, about 3 hours by navigation drive. After passing Changyang County, not far away, there is ice and snow on the road of Panshan Highway, seeing a car parked on the side of the road, installing snow chains, we also pull over to install the snow chains, safety first, the ball chain prepared this time, the installation is very convenient.

Visiting Chen Yi's hometown D9 (February 13): Chengdu
On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, I set off to Chengdu for a few days and embarked on the road back to Ningbo. Chengdu booked Bolan light luxury hotel near East Railway Station, newly opened serviced apartment, large room, new facilities, good service, free parking for accommodation, the hotel is very close to Honghe Metro Station, next to Ito Yohuatang, eating and shopping are very convenient, highly recommended.
After checking in, take the subway directly to the wide and narrow alley, there are too many people, you can only follow the flow of people, it is difficult to even take pictures, take a mobile phone, finally squeeze out, go to the Kuixing Building next to it to eat, as a result, each store has a long queue, give up directly, take the subway back to the hotel, and the holiday scenic spot really can't go.
Wide and narrow alleys, look at the head In view of the experience of Kuanzhai Alley yesterday, I took a taxi to Huanhuaxi Park early this morning to see the plum blossoms, there were not many people in the morning, I wandered around slowly, I felt good, I passed by Du Fu's thatched cottage, there were many people, I didn't go in, I continued to visit Huanhuaxi, find a teahouse, drink tea, rest, bask in the sun, and Bashi.

After lunch, I went to visit the Sichuan Museum that I had booked in advance, at lunchtime, not the time when the flow of people was the largest, after shopping, I took the subway back to the hotel, went to visit Yiteng Yanghuatang, and in the afternoon I was in the Shu Daxia hot pot near the hotel, which is the taste of normal Chengdu hot pot.
Sichuan Provincial Museum After eating hot pot, go back to the hotel to rest, drive to Sichuan Sichuan Theater at 7:30 p.m., and buy the 20:30 Furong quintessence Sichuan opera performance, A performance is about 70 minutes, Sichuan opera, face changing and other performances, which are very valuable.
Sichuan Theater's "Furong National Essence", worth watching D10 (February 14): Chengdu--Wolong Yingxiu--Bazhong Enyang
I originally planned to go to the panda base to see the flowers, but I was frightened by the traffic of people during the Chengdu holidays and gave up watching the flowers. Since she came to Chengdu, the baby still wanted to see the cats, so she temporarily decided to drive to the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base to see the cats. I got up early to check out, had rice noodles breakfast downstairs in the hotel, and drove to Wolong, there were no cars on the road, and it took less than 2 hours to arrive in Wolong.

D11-12 (February 15-16): Bazhong - Xiangyang - Anqing - Nanjing
Thelast two days of the return trip were also the hardest two days, departing from Bazhong early in the morning and arriving in Xiangyang, Hubei Province. The Bawan Expressway has a large traffic flow, many tunnels, and slow traffic, and then turns to the ten-day highway, there are much fewer cars, at least it can run, and finally get on the Fuyin Expressway, all the way to the congestion, so I had to get off the highway in advance, take the national highway to Xiangyang, today's 650 kilometers of travel, it took 9.5 hours, to arrive in Xiangyang. In the evening, I ate beef offal hot pot and rice wine at Liu Laosi Health Rice Wine (Gaozhuang Street Store), and the taste was really first-class.
Xiangyang beef offal hot pot Last night, I rested early, got up early in the morning and went to Liu Laosi's house again, ate beef noodles, and his house opened at 4:30 in the morning. Looking at the road conditions in the morning, the Shanghai-Wuhan Expressway was seriously congested, so I had to take the Fuyin Expressway to Wuhan, and then turn to the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, and take an additional detour of nearly 200 kilometers. In the afternoon, the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway also began to have a large section of long-term congestion, so I had to get off the expressway from Qichun, take the provincial highway S40 to National Highway 347 to Anqing, today the journey is 680 kilometers, drive for 11 hours, exhausted and paralyzed.
Looking at the navigation from Anqing to Nanjing, all the way congested, it will take at least 7 hours, it really can't drive, at 6 p.m. directly checked into the hotel in Anqing, had dinner and rested early, got up at three o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of the lunar new year, returned to Nanjing from Anqing, and the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway in the early morning was actually stuck in traffic, so I had to continue on the national highway, all the way to Wuhu on the Shanghai-Rong Expressway, and finally arrived at Nanjing at 7 a.m.
This Spring Festival round trip to Sichuan to visit relatives, a total of 4,600 kilometers, the outbound ice and snow road plus play, the return high-speed car is more congested, the road conditions are much larger than the previous drives back to Sichuan, the traffic flow is much larger, maybe back to Sichuan in the future, we will no longer consider driving.
I would like to use this running tent to commemorate this congested 4,600-kilometer self-driving journey.
