Reading tens of thousands of books is better than traveling thousands of miles and driving a five-belt journey to China with a family of three and a half (including entering Tibet)

It took 22 days and traveled 7000 kilometers across 10 provinces (Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei). This is the end of the self-driving tour around China (southwest). I have gained a lot along the way, and I have deep feelings. The other half of China (Northeast China) will be renewed next year! Apple X shooting all the way!

When the year was over, there was nothing to do. I saw that all my friends were traveling, so I couldn’t help it, so I discussed a self-driving trip with my wife, who also wanted to go out to play! Because it is said to leave! I didn’t make any preparations! Temporarily bought some tables, chairs, stools, pots and pans in the market!

This is cured fish and bacon from our hometown! No need to freeze, open and eat! Stir-fry at home that night!

Authentic country eggs!

The maintenance was done before departure, and then a four-wheel positioning was made! After all, it’s such a long way! The car still needs to be maintained!

daily necessaries

Ready to go!

This is the route planned at that time! It was not until we arrived in Lijiang that we changed the route to Tibet! Because when I got to Lijiang, I went back to Chengdu to see the map, and then I took the highway to Chengdu, and then I had to go back to Dali and Kunming! More than 500 kilometers of turning back! Or take Lijiang to Panzhihua, but this distance is nearly 200 kilometers without highway, are Panshan roads, and heard that it is very steep, 200 kilometers is expected to take 10 hours! All also hesitated, and finally took a look at the fact that it was not far from Lijiang to Xizang, so I directly chose Yunnan-Tibet Line 214to Mangkang and then to Chengdu! This line has traveled 1000 kilometers for me for a week! Let’s talk about it in detail!

Ready to go! GO

Milestone subtotal zero!

I spent the night at a friend’s house in Changsha on the night of departure! If you have Hunan food at noon, it will be difficult to have Hunan food in the following days!

The first stop is more than 500 kilometers from Changsha to Guilin. I left at one o’clock in the afternoon and arrived in Guilin at one breath. The arrival time is about six o’clock!

Arrive in Guangxi!

Stay at Hotel Theme near Guilin North Station!

After looking for the hotel, I made my own noodles because it was too late!

The next day I ate a bowl of Guilin rice noodles, which was not bad!

Came to the Elephant Trunk Mountain in our primary school textbooks!

Guilin Scenery is the best in the world!

The water of the Lijiang River is gone! Got it!

Start Yang Sculpture

The famous Yangzhou West Street!

Vietnamese cigars! 10 yuan a pack!

After shopping more than ten o’clock, I didn’t spend the night in Yangsu, so I set off directly from Hainan Island! Due to the heavy rain, I spent the night in Guangxi Expressway Service area!

After only one KFC in Xuwen, we are ready to cross the sea!

The ticket price personally feels more expensive! A car is nearly 500 fast!

Each car is alas very tight, there is a staff on the spot to direct parking! I’ve been worried about whether the waves will rub again! The ship is still driving steadily!

It is expected to arrive at Haikou in 3 hours!

Is this an offshore drilling platform?

Came to HNA 12 constellation building!

I have a little appearance!

Feng Xiaogang + Huayi Brothers’ movie town!

Similar to the Avenue of Fame in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour! I like Andy Lau!

The film [Fanghua] was filmed.

Anyone who has seen Fanghua remember this place, don’t you?

My son likes dinosaurs very much!

This is Nanyang Street! I didn’t go in! I clapped at the door and left!

Let’s go to Sanya! The highways in Hainan are free, but the oil price is high, so the fuel is filled up in Xuwen before crossing the sea!

Halfway to dinner time, found a service area and began to cook noodles!

Arrive in Sanya after eight o’clock in the evening! It was still quite cold at night. I ate a heart to make up the cool (I came to this store in 8 years). At that time, my wife was an intern in the 425 Hospital of the people’s Liberation Army. At that time, I was not my wife but my girlfriend, !

Hello again, KT! Ha ha ha

You can see a little sea in the room!

I changed my room the next day! Mediterranean style! The price is not expensive, 260 yuan!

Came to the beach, ready to go swimming! The sea is a little cold, but I’ll be fine when I get down!

Experienced helicopter sightseeing at the seaside, 980 per person, 8 minutes, half price for children (as a result of finding acquaintances, all children’s money is waived)

Phoenix Island

Hope to see sharks or whales in the air, the captain said no, to go to the deep sea, but sea turtles can be seen occasionally!

Looking at the sea from the air, it is like a piece of oil!

I came to Phoenix Island in the evening, and the hotel here is not allowed without a reservation. So I just took a walk around the perimeter!

Come here to eat coconut + mango!

In the Youyi Road laid-off workers seafood market to buy some seafood and then find a place to process! It’s not expensive! The processing fee is dozens of yuan and the seafood is more than 100 yuan. If you go directly to the roadside seafood restaurant to eat, you will probably be slaughtered!

Nanshan tourist area

The sea here is very beautiful!

Is that like the sea?!

Nanhai Guanyin!

It’s spectacular!

Cramming!

The picture is messed up!

This picture was taken during a break in the Guangxi Expressway Service area. After visiting Nanhai Park, I left Haikou directly after six o’clock and didn’t take any photos. It was more than 11:00 in the evening when I arrived in Haikou, and the port I navigated to was no longer able to cross the sea. All those who asked for directions to another port crossed the sea in 24 hours. Xuwen in Guangdong already had more than 3 o’clock in the evening. I bought some fruit very cheaply on the way, but it was also very pits. Jackfruit could not eat it after opening it, and it was not ripe yet. The honey had been washed off on his hands for a long time. I was depressed to death! When I got on the highway, I slept in Leizhou service area! Arrived in Guangxi in the afternoon!

Arrive in Nanning

It was taken in Nanning people’s Park in Guangxi. It’s all free to visit!

All are real animal specimens!

underwater world! The environment is very bad! But the tickets are close to the people! It looks like 40. Come on!

This kissing fish is fun. I like kissing very much! Separate, continue to kiss! Ha ha ha!

All kinds of coral reefs! It’s beautiful.

The poster is fun and obedient. Every time I see someone, I will take the initiative to say hello and shake my hand! And turn in circles!

Pirates of the Caribbean show! Mermaid!

All kinds of sea mother!

I snapped an expression for it!

This kind of fish has forgotten its name. It belongs to the species of eel. It’s fun! Long and thin! Get in the sand!

Leave from Nanning to Kunming after six o’clock! The whole journey is more than 600 kilometers! The highway here is expensive and difficult to walk. 80% of the speed limit is 100, and there are bends everywhere! Do you see a flash of lightning in the sky? a thrilling accident is coming! Fortunately, it was a surprise without danger! It was taken by a driving recorder! I am freaked out!

In the Shantou-Kunming Expressway Guizhou Province Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture section was hit by hail, instant visibility of only more than ten meters, the picture can not see the effect! I can’t upload video! Turn on the emergency flasher immediately, hoping not to be rear-ended, thinking that the windshield of this car will be broken! The white Suv in front is probably broken! The rearview mirror saw him stop! Then the tortoise ran to the service area to check that the vehicle was unharmed! Thank God, there is no danger! Baidu immediately checked the news, the entire Guizhou Province on the 13th suffered an once-in-a-century hail! It’s so scary! This extreme weather! Immediately drive out of Guizhou to Yunnan at night! Be safe.

After Guizhou to Luoping, Yunnan! It’s past three o’clock in the morning! It’s not raining here! Found a server to rest! At dawn, the car was observed and there was no damage! Only the roof is a little bit hollow! Is the car still pretty solid?! Ha ha ha!

Arrive in Kunming in the afternoon!

I didn’t go anywhere in Kunming. I had a rest in the hotel because I was tired of travelling. I left for Dali the next day!

The picture is messed up! This is the route from Lijiang to Chengdu to Tibet!

Have lunch at the local Bai family restaurant! The price is not expensive! A hundred dollars!

There are no hotels here, only inns. Since we came here in the off-season, there are rooms everywhere! The price is not expensive, and the rooms are very clean, the innkeeper is very warm! Rented a small electric motorcycle to visit the ancient city of Dali!

The weather is bad, it’s raining! It’s freezing!

Erhai Lake seems a little dirty again! The government regulated and closed many inn restaurants last year! At present, Erhai Lake pollution control is still like this! The effect is not ideal!

I went around Erhai Lake and set off for Lijiang!

Get on the highway here!

It took more than 2 hours to arrive in Lijiang! Full highway!

Out of the toll station Yulong Snow Mountain blurred in front of us! A little excited!

Found a hillside inn! high quality and inexpensive! It’s almost seven o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still strong!

The night view of the ancient city of Lijiang from the inn window!

The ancient city of Lijiang in the early morning!

Found a bridge and took a picture of Yulong Snow Mountain! It’s only 20 kilometers from the city!

Sign up for a 198 Lashi sea tour at the inn! Chauffeured car pick up!

There are no seagulls in Sanya! There are a lot of people here! Bought some dried fish to feed the seagulls! They are all greedy! And grab food!

I rode around the mountain for an hour and a half!

Local Naxi granny!

Naxi houses!

Ancient Tea and Horse Road!

I came to the ancient city of Lijiang in the evening.

The ancient city of Lijiang is more beautiful than the ancient city of Dali!

Ready to go, Shangri-La! By the way, take a look under Yulong Snow Mountain! Because we have to go to Meili Snow Mountain, so we didn’t go to Yulong Snow Mountain!

The miraculous workmanship of nature!

The air here is quite good!

Tough guy brigade!

Keep showing up!

This is the last highway! I haven’t told you for more than a week! 21 yuan for 20 kilometers, which is very expensive! Get off the highway and start the Yunnan-Tibet line trip to National Highway 214!

Cross the Jinsha River Bridge! Enter Shangri-La!

Since the fuel consumption at this time is only the lowest in 5.6L/100KM history!

The US dollars in Tibet slowly began to appear! This seems to be Benzilan town!

My wife can’t help but stretch!

This is Tiger leaping Gorge! As it was already five or six o’clock here, the child fell asleep again, so he didn’t go in!

Supplies on the road!

It was sent by Baoan at the gate of Tiger leaping Gorge!

Arrive at Shangri-La County.

In fact, I bought Rhodiola and oxygen in Lijiang! But worried about industrial oxygen, all bought a bag of medical oxygen in the hospital, don’t worry! I’m afraid of high opposition on the road!

It’s so bulging! I am afraid of the explosion on the plateau, because the higher the altitude is, the bigger the vacuum will be! So I sucked a little right away! Nothing!

All the way, it’s the same brand! I’m afraid it will be put into practice!

Oh, this is Benzilan town! That wasn’t the previous one!

Personally, I think it’s a good shot!

Cactus on the side of the road!

Brief introduction of Meili Snow Mountain!

At the big turn of the Jinsha River!

I see the yak!

Yunnan-Tibet line 214 to commemorate!

The altitude is getting higher and higher! The blood on the side of the road didn’t melt!

Arrive at Deqin!

The spectacular Meili Snow Mountain appears in front of us!

Meili Snow Mountain (Snow Mountain Group between Deqin County and Xizang Chayu County, Yunnan Province)
Meili Snow Mountain, with a total length of 150km, is a huge north-south snow mountain group located in the east of Xizang Chayu County and the west of Jingyunling Township, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is called Kawagbo Snow Mountain in Tibet, and the word “Meili” is translated into Chinese by Deqin Tibetan language mainri, which means Yaoshan. It is named because it is rich in a variety of valuable medicinal materials [1-2]. At the same time, it is also a sacred place of Bon Religion in Yongzhong, and it is also known as the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, along with Xizang’s Gang Rinpoqi, Qinghai’s A * Qing Mountain and Qinghai’s Gadujevo.
The highest peak, Kawagbo, is 6740 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Yunnan Province. It is located 10 kilometers northeast of Deqin County and 184kilometers away from Zhongdian County. It is about 30 kilometers long, of which the highest pyramid peak is Kawagbo Peak, which is 6740 meters above sea level. It is an extremely high mountain protruding nearly one kilometer from the top of the surrounding mountains. It is the highest peak in Yunnan Province. The activity of the Meili Snow Mountain fault is strong and towering, with 13 peaks above 6000 meters above sea level around Kawagbo Peak, which is the highest mountain on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.

The map of Tibet taken at the front desk of the hotel, this map is very detailed! Very sweet!

Meili Snow Mountain Sunshine Jinshan schedule, the time we will see tomorrow is 07:18 in the morning!

This is the picture material found on the Internet!

For me, it is difficult to get up! In order to see Rizhao Jinshan, I came to the hotel rooftop on time! My wife and children are still asleep!

We stayed in this hotel, not bad, the hillside, the price is not high, but also can enjoy the view! So we didn’t go to Feilai Temple!

Someone is praying early in the morning

This is my photo of Jinshan Rizhao! It only lasted about five minutes and then it was gone! Luckily, I heard a lot of people say that I didn’t see it when I came here, either rain or fog. I saw it the first time I came here! And see very clearly!
Meili Snow Mountain is one of the main natural landscapes of the World Natural Heritage “parallel flow of the three Rivers”. It is located in Deqin County, at the junction of Yunnan and Tibet in the northwest of Yunnan Province. there are more than 10 snow mountains with an average elevation of more than 6000 meters, and the main peak Kawagbo Peak is 6740 meters above sea level. Due to the climate, Meili Snow Mountain is shrouded in snow curtain and clouds all the year round. The rare “Rizhao Jinshan” landscape often occurs in the early morning of a sunny day, when the sun suddenly shines over the obstacles on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and then gradually expands, forming a stunning spectacle of “Rizhao Jinshan”, which lasts for about 20 minutes. Finally, the snow mountain as a whole turned white and lost its golden impression.

According to the Atlas of Yunnan Province published by China Map Publishing House (2006)
In the narrow sense of Meili Snow Mountain, Meili Snow Mountain only refers to the Prince Snow Mountain section of the middle and northern part of the Nushan Mountains in the Hengduan Mountains (coordinates 98 °30 “98 °46’E, 28 °10 °28 °32’N) to the north of Meili Snow Mountain (coordinates 98 °30 °98 °40’E, 28 °33 °28 °41’N). The thirteen peaks headed by Kawagbo belong to the Prince Snow Mountain. However, in many versions of the text, the two are called Meili Snow Mountain in a broad sense, and Kawagbo Peak is regarded as the landmark of Meili Snow Mountain. [3-7]
Meili Snow Mountain belongs to the Nushan Mountains on the southeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Tibet boundary between the Lancang River and the Nujiang River. it is connected to Tanantaen Mountain in the north and Biluo Snow Mountain in Gongshan County, Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province in the north. Kawagbo Peak, the highest peak in Yunnan Province, is 6740m above sea level, and the lowest elevation is 900m at the junction of Charitong and Yanmen Township along the Lancang River, with a relative height difference of 4840m. [8]

Mountain climbing activity
Kawagbo’s towering beauty and lofty and sacred status in religion have attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists and climbers. However, all the large-scale mountaineering activities from the beginning of the 20th century to the present all ended in failure. It has been more than 50 years since mankind climbed the earth at an altitude of 8000 meters. in half a century, although climbers have conquered more than a dozen peaks in the world at an altitude of more than 8000 meters one after another, Kawagbo at an altitude of 6740 meters is still the “virgin peak” that mankind has not conquered. Since 1902, human beings have climbed Mount Kawagbo more than ten times, all of which ended in failure. Many professional climbers came armed with their heads held high and left silently when they came down the mountain, but the last climbers never came down again.
In 1991, 17 members of the Sino-Japanese joint academic mountaineering team attacked the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain. They rushed to the top from Camp 3, and when the weather suddenly became bad when they rose to 6400 meters above sea level, they had to withdraw and prepare to continue to climb the next day. However, when the team members had their last voice contact with the base camp that night, they were hit by a large-scale avalanche at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, killing all the team members and resting in Kawagbo. Kawagbo has become the second largest mountain disaster in the history of human mountaineering. Some of the remains were found by grazing Tibetans a few years later on a large ice plate on the other side of the main peak. Once again, man’s attempt to conquer the god of snow-capped mountains ended in complete failure. From then on, it also makes people understand that Tibetan compatriots have a more sincere and profound understanding of the relationship between man and nature: man can live in harmony with nature only by respecting nature and loving nature; if man is bent on being the enemy of nature and only wants to conquer nature, it will end in extinction.
Usually in various hotels and temples at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, Tibetan compatriots call for a ban on climbing the snow-capped mountain. The proposal is concise and sharp, but it has profound meaning.

Mountaineering record
In 1902, the British mountaineering team failed to climb Kawagbo, the main peak of Meri.
From August to September 1987, the Yue Mountain Club in Japan gave up climbing because of a series of avalanches. Climbing route: Mingyong Glacier route; climbing height: 5100m.
1988, American Crouch climbing team, climbing route: Mingyong Glacier Route, climbing height: 4350m
From September to November 1989, the Sino-Japanese joint reconnaissance team of Meili Snow Mountain, climbing route: rain avalanche direction, climbing height: 5500 meters
From November 1990 to January 1991, the Sino-Japanese joint climbing team of Meili Snow Mountain (the second climb) had a series of heavy snows in Meili Snow Mountain on January 1-3, 1991. 6 members of the Chinese side and 11 members of the Japanese side stood by at the 5100-meter camp. Camp C3 spoke to the base camp for the last time at 22:30 on the evening of January 3. Contact was lost on the morning of January 4, and 17 Chinese and Japanese team members were missing.
Climbing route: rain avalanche direction, climbing height: 6470 meters (December 28,1990)
From January 6 to 20, 1991, the Meili Snow Mountain search team and four members of the China Mountaineering Association arrived at the base camp on January 9, while the Xizang Mountaineering Association arrived at the base camp on January 16. The Japanese rescue team arrived at the base camp on January 20 due to deep snow and frequent avalanches.
From April 15 to June 6, 1991, the Sino-Japanese joint search team of Meili Snow Mountain (12 from Japan and 5 from China) was forced to stop the search due to continuous snowfall and frequent avalanches.
Climbing route: rain avalanche direction, climbing height: 4500 meters
From October to December 1996, the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team of Meili Snow Mountain (the third climb), on December 2, Japan forecast heavy snowfall in Meili Snow Mountain from 4 to 6. The Central Meteorological Observatory and Yunnan Meteorological Observatory also confirmed that in order to avoid a repeat of the tragedy of 91 years, the team was forced to withdraw from the camp on December 8.
Meili Snow Mountain climbing route: rain avalanche direction, climbing height: 5300 meters
From December 2010 to January 2011, Gao Jiahu, a solo mountaineer in Yunnan, climbed Meili Snow Mountain alone. Due to the speed of climbing the mountain too fast to adapt to the height, he had symptoms such as vomiting yellow water, the sound of bubbles in the lungs, physical fatigue, headache and so on. There has been no contact since then.
Climbing route: in the direction of Chayu County, Xizang, climbing height: 5400 meters
So far, a total of 10 times have climbed Meili Snow Mountain in the past 15 years. Among them: China and Japan climbed 4 times jointly, Japan climbed 1 time alone, the United States team climbed 4 times, and China climbed 1 time alone.
Exploration activities
The research and exploration of Meili Snow Mountain originated in the 19th century or even earlier, mainly as follows:

Animals and plants in Meili Snow Mountain (30)
Zecheni Renjue, a Hungarian, wrote a book in 1879 that described in detail the geography and landform of Meili Snow Mountain.
F Kingdom Ward, a British botanist who made detailed geological and botanical surveys of the Mingyong Glacier in 1911 and 1914, published in the British Geographic Magazine in 1916 and published in 1925, described Meili Snow Mountain and the glacier. He wrote: “sitting on the glacier in a single coat, the glacier is cold, but the shore is full of flowers.”

Start to Xizang Mangkang and then to Batang! It took me 11 hours to run 300 kilometers here! Hey!

It is not only a rare low-latitude, low-altitude monsoon marine modern glacier in the world, but also the pride of China. Whenever the scorching sun rises when the temperature of the snow-capped mountains rises and the glacier melts by the heat, when the author goes there in early March, the temperature is already very high, I can wear short sleeves, and I am lucky to have seen a huge ice body collapse and move down, loud as thunder, splashing with ice and snow. I feel that I have been suppressed, which is shocking and exciting. When I pick up the camera, it has already passed, only regret.

I had planned to go to the Mingyong Glacier, but it was a matter of time, so I just left!

See the stone in the upper right corner? I’m always scared when I pass by! I’m afraid I’ll fall! The cracks in the stones are clearly visible! Just pray not to drop it!

Get out of the car to commemorate it! Stepped into the sacred land-Xizang!

Officially enter Xizang! Ha ha ha!

Starting from Xizang’s salt well (special police armed with registration ID card + driver’s license + driving license + no photo + no whistle + trunk check)

Arrive at Xizang Mangkang! Yunnan-Tibet Line + Sichuan-Tibet Line Interchange! That’s where 214 and 318 meet! Turn left to continue into Tibet, turn right out of Tibet, of course I am out of Tibet!

The oil here is very expensive, but it is 95.98! I heard that if you continue to enter Tibet, there will be no 995-98, only 92! But there is no way, fill up the gas and go on!

Ran into a people’s Liberation Army convoy! Looks like it’s transporting gasoline and diesel!

Continue to commemorate it! Almost from here, the bad road began. Because I was in a very bad mood and did not take pictures, I didn’t arrive at Batang County until about 10:00 in the evening! Xizang Mangkang G318, three hundred kilometers drive me for more than ten hours! There is no scenery all the way. The road is basically potholed! There are rotten roads everywhere, and the site has hung up several times! The brakes are overheating! There are so many trucks! Dust flying all over the sky! The most important thing is that there is no signal when you go into Tibet! It will be better when you get out of Xizang and arrive at the Sichuan Boundary Road! There’s a signal, too!

At night, the car was parked downstairs at Batang Hotel and was rubbed by a pickup truck, but the hotel owner was very responsible, kept the pickup truck driver, and then contacted me to come down to deal with it. In the end, he was unwilling to take the insurance and casually lost some money. I was away from home! Make yourself at home!

Wake up and move on! Batang-Yajiang! Because we should try our best to avoid the high-altitude county seat to rest! Or I can’t sleep at night! I feel bad! Batang and Yajiang are only more than 2000 above sea level!

Take a bath for the car. Let’s go! The pony has worked hard all the way!

I see the road sign in Chengdu! It’s not far from Chengdu!

If yesterday’s road is hell (Mangkang-Litang)
Then today’s road is heaven (Litang-Yajiang)
He was overtaken by one SUV after another yesterday.
Today, I overtook one SUV after another.

The cover of National Geographic magazine
Sister Lake, also known as Eye Lake
Unfortunately, it is covered with snow! But it’s also beautiful!

Dali Lake and Duolun Lake are sister lakes, like two bright pearls embedded in the Gongger prairie.

Legend
Legend has it that a long time ago, on the Gongge prairie on the banks of Lake Dali, there was a loyal and persistent Mongolian young man named Nimude. Nimod leads the jujube pony to herd sheep on the bank of Dali Lake every day, and every morning, noon and evening, he goes to the lake to drink sheep and horses. Nimod loved his little jujube horse so much that he braided the mane of the horse into braids, put on colorful wild flowers, and dressed the horse like a colorful little girl. One night, Nimod led the jujube red Malay Dali Lake to drink sheep. Suddenly, a huge wave came on the calm lake. A huge turtle sprang out of the huge wave. The big tortoise bit the jujube horse. The horse and the horse’s two silver stirrups were dragged into the bottom of the lake by the tortoise.
Nimod missed his jujube horse day and night, and came to the lake every night to cry when the horse sank to the bottom of the lake: my little horse, my old companion, since the day you were born, I have the same fate with you. No matter how fast the golden deer is, it is difficult to follow in your footsteps; no matter how fast the yellow sheep is, it cannot stand side by side with you. Day after day, Nimod came to pay tribute to his jujube horse, rain or shine. One day, Aohai, the sea dragon king of Dali Lake, went on a tour and was deeply moved when he heard the sound of Nimod’s crying sacrifice. As soon as the sea dragon king waved his hand, the wind blew suddenly, and the big tortoise was driven to the bottom of the sun. An hour later, the big turtle confessed, hiding the jujube horse in Dali Lake and the silver stirrup in Lake Duolun. The sea dragon king said, “Evil turtle, why don’t you give back the horse and stirrup quickly!” A sneeze, the waves of Lake Dali suddenly rose, the jujube horse jumped out of the lake and stood in front of Nimud. at the same time, two silver stirrups also jumped out of Lake Toron. As a result, Lake Dali became a “horse”-shaped lake, and Lake Duolun became a “stirrup”-shaped lake.

More than 4000 meters above sea level, children have to quarrel down to play with snow. Anyway, along the way, my wife and children are not a bit high, I do have a little bit, but it’s okay! There was no oxygen all the way, and finally the oxygen was thrown away in Chengdu!

The altitude of Sister Hu!

The combined name of sister, sister and sister is the general name of brother and sister, sister and brother in Chinese. Sister lakes are two or more lakes, an anthropomorphic, figurative name. There are many sister lakes in China, among which the sister lakes in Xinjiang and Lijiang are famous.

My wife and children are having a good time!

There are a lot of people taking pictures and playing drones!

Drive safely, always remember!

We were lucky that it didn’t snow all the way, otherwise the five-series rear drive would be in trouble, and we didn’t buy an anti-skid chain!

Comparable to US Highway 66!

There are yaks everywhere!

Stop the car and have a rest! I want to smoke. 、 . . The lighter can’t be lit, so I can only use the cigarette lighter in the car.

The destination Yajiang is not far away!

Arrive at the destination!

Insert an unfrozen sister Hu

Kazila Mountain, located in Sichuan Province, is 4718 meters above sea level. Because of the higher altitude, trees are more scarce, mainly alpine meadows. Looking at the mountains here, there are layers of mountains, one layer is farther and the other is lighter, up to the horizon, it is like walking on the ‘Heavenly Road’.
As we climbed the Katzila Mountains, the fog began to dissipate, and the clouds in the sky began to increase, one being flawless, the other dark and psychedelic, rapidly changing. However, the beautiful scenery can only be felt in her arms.
Kazila Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it does not feel that it is a mountain. It seems to be a beautiful pasture, which makes people relaxed and happy. Although the beautiful scenery makes people linger, it is impossible to stop and shoot.

I want to commemorate it again!

There was a car accident passing by! It looks like a car rushed down the hillside. It looks like bad luck. Be sure to drive carefully! Pray they don’t have a problem!

Eighteen turns on Heavenly Road

Eighteen turns on Heavenly Road

On the way here, I saw two coyotes one after another, but they didn’t take pictures because they were driving. Those who walk alone + ride their bikes into Tibet must be careful! I arrived at Yajiang after dark in the evening. I would like to say that the prices of hotels in Yajiang are generally on the high side, and the bad environment is very bad! I’d like to criticize here! Continue to travel to Chengdu the next day!

318 out of the last snow mountain, very spectacular, the clouds above is snow, below is the mountain! The cloud is right in the middle! In front of me, I arrived at Kangding. As the car continued to go downhill, the brakes were overheated and the brakes rattled, so I stopped to rest and didn’t take pictures. I didn’t see the so-called Kangding love song. I’m not in the mood!

Out of Kangding County! This bridge is Yakang Expressway, it has not been opened to traffic yet, only Ya’an to Luding has been opened to traffic! Kangding is the capital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, so the traffic must be done well!

Arrive at Luding Bridge!

The Luding Bridge, also known as the Iron Cable Bridge, is located on the Dadu River in Luding County, Sichuan Province. it is said that Emperor Kangxi built the bridge in order to strengthen the cultural and economic exchanges in Sichuan-Tibet region after Emperor Kangxi unified China. The bridge was built in 1705 and completed in 1706. it is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese bridge construction and the first batch of national key cultural relics protected by the State Council.
The Luding Bridge is 103m long and 3m wide. 13 iron chains are fixed in the well of the abutment on both sides, 9 as bottom chains and 4 as handrails on both sides. A total of 12164 iron rings are interlinked, and the iron parts of the bridge weigh more than 40 tons. The bridgehead castle on both sides of Luding Bridge is a traditional wooden structure unique to China.
Since the Qing Dynasty, Luding Bridge has been an important passage and military important for Sichuan to enter Tibet. On May 29, 1935, the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army passed through here on the long March. The commandos, led by 22 warriors, braved the enemy’s hail of bullets, crawled on the iron cable bridge and destroyed the bridgehead guards in one fell swoop. “Flying capture of Luding Bridge” opened the passage of the Red Army’s long March northward to resist Japan, wrote a “surprised, dangerous, strange and unique” war miracle in Chinese revolutionary history and world military history, and made it an important historical memorial site for Communist Party of China.
In December 2016, Ludingqiao Scenic spot was rated as a national AAAA tourist scenic spot.

The bridgehead castle on both sides of Luding Bridge is an ancient building with traditional wooden structure.
Luding Bridge overlooking is unique to China. The bridge was built in the 44th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1705) and completed in the 45th year of Kangxi (1706).
Kangxi Imperial Pen inscribed “Luding Bridge”, and set up the imperial stele at the bridgehead, the bridgehead on both sides of the bridge is an ancient wooden structure, unique style is unique in China.
The Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army “flew to seize the Luding Bridge” during the long March, making it an important historical memorial site for Communist Party of China.
In 1961, the Luding Bridge was announced by the State Council of the people’s Republic of China as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, with 2 on each side of the left and right, 9 side-by-side at the bottom, and covered with planks, that is, the bridge deck. Each chain consists of 862 to 997 hand-made wrought iron rings with a total weight of 21 tons. The bottom chain is covered with planks, and the handrails and the bottom chain are connected by a small chain, so that the 13 chains are a whole. It belongs to the national key cultural relics protection units.

Folklore legend
There is a Gada Temple in the west of Huding Bridge. It is said that when the bridge was built, 13 iron chains could not be led to the other side, and many methods were used and failed. There was a Tibetan Hercules who called himself Gada, with one chain in each armpit to cross the west bank by boat. When he finished transporting 13 chains, he was unlucky because of overwork.

Historical pictures of Feizheng Luding Bridge (8)
Die. The local people built the temple in memory of the hero who built the bridge.
Of course, legends are legends after all. In fact, when the bridge was built, after seminars were held in Xingjing, Hanyuan, Tianquan and other counties, skilled craftsmen gathered here to discuss ways to tie the chain across the river. Finally, the principle of Suodu is adopted, that is, the thick bamboo rope is tied to both sides of the strait, and more than 10 short bamboo tubes are worn on each bamboo rope, and then the iron chain is tied to the bamboo tube, and then the rope that has been tied to the bamboo tube is pulled from the other bank, so skillfully pulling the bamboo tube with the iron chain to the other bank.

Historical event
Flying to seize the Luding Bridge on May 25, 1935, in the face of the Kuomintang’s pursuit of troops, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu de, Wang Jiaxiang, Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen, Luo Ronghuan and Luo Ruiqing immediately made the decision to seize the Luding Bridge.
The deployment is that Liu Bocheng and Nie Rongzhen led the first division of the Red Army and the cadre regiment led by Chen Kui and Song Renqiong as the right-wing army, and the central column and the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 9th legions carried the river for the left army to capture the Luding Bridge. The fourth regiment of the second Red Division, led by Wang Kaixiang and Yang Chengwu, advanced for the vanguard of the left Road Army. May twenty _ eighth After receiving the order, the fourth Red Regiment traveled 240 Huali Mountain Road day and night, and exchanged fire with the enemy on the west bank of the Luding Bridge on the morning of the 29th.
At that time, the Luding Bridge had about 80 meters of deck removed by the enemy, coated with engine oil, and closely sealed off the Luding Bridge deck with machine guns and artillery on the high ground of Dongqiaotou. At noon, the fourth Red Regiment held a meeting of the whole regiment’s cadres in the Shaba Catholic Church, carried out combat mobilization, and organized 22 bridge commandos led by company commander Liao Dazhu and instructor Wang Haiyun. At 4 p.m., 22 Red Army men armed with submachine guns, sabers on their backs and a dozen grenades wrapped around their waists pounced on the east bridge, braving a hail of bullets and climbing naked cable chains. The three soldiers, led by Wang Youcai, followed closely behind, carrying guns, holding boards in one hand and chains in the other, laying bridge boards while advancing.
When the Red Army commandos climbed to the middle of the bridge, the enemy set a fire at the head of the east bridge and blocked the Red Army from seizing the bridge with fire. The Red Army soldiers launched a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy and captured the bridge battle in Luding. At this time, the political commissar Yang Chengwu led a team to rush over the east bridgehead, beat back the enemy’s counterattack, occupied Luding City, and quickly extinguished the bridgehead fire. The whole battle took only two hours before the Luding Bridge was captured in a breathtaking manner. As a result, Luding Bridge became an important milestone for Communist Party of China during the long March.

Chengdu Giant Panda breeding Research Base is one of the main research bases for the Chinese government to implement the ex-situ conservation project of giant pandas and other endangered wild animals. It is a national AAAA tourist scenic spot.
It is a well-known research institution for the protection of rare and endangered wild animals such as giant panda, which integrates scientific research and breeding of giant panda, protection and education, education and tourism, and the construction of panda culture.

The Chengdu Giant Panda breeding Research Base is established on the basis of raising, treating and breeding giant pandas in Chengdu Zoo. In the 20th century, the cold arrow bamboo of Qionglai Mountain blossomed and died, and some giant pandas were rescued and concentrated in Chengdu Zoo because of lack of food and hunger. [3]
In 1987, in order to strengthen the management of the treatment of sick and hungry giant pandas, separate the educational display function of giant pandas from the function of rescue research, strengthen the scientific research of giant pandas, and improve the level of giant panda breeding, the Chengdu people’s Government decided to establish a Chengdu giant panda breeding research base and implement a set of teams and two brands with Chengdu Zoo. [3]
After 1990, Chengdu Base and Chengdu Zoo were divided into two independent entities. [3]
In 1992, the Giant Panda Museum was open to visitors. [4]
In 1997, the Chengdu Giant Panda breeding Research Base established the first open laboratory in China to carry out endangered protection research endemic to China, jointly funded by the State Planning Commission, Chengdu Planning Commission and Chengdu Giant Panda breeding Research Foundation. [3] [5]
In 2000, the National Wildlife Protection system took the lead in carrying out public protection education, and the Ministry of Science Popularization was established. [1]
In 2001, the Open Laboratory was named “Sichuan key Laboratory for breeding and Protection of Endangered Animals” by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology. In the same year, Chengdu Base cooperated with Sichuan University to carry out research and experiments. [3]
In 2003, the base was awarded as “Sichuan Advanced Unit for Talent Development” by Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, and was approved as a national “postdoctoral research workstation” by the Ministry of personnel. [6]
In 2006, it was officially awarded “National AAAA level Scenic spot” by the National Tourism Administration. [1]
In 2007, the laboratory was officially approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology as “Endangered Wildlife Biology-State key Laboratory jointly built by provinces and ministries”. At the same time, modern giant panda museums, animal specimen halls and genetic resources of endangered animals have been established in Chengdu base and Sichuan University respectively. [3]
In 2011, the International Research Center for Giant Panda Conservation Biology, jointly founded by the base and the Global Koth Foundation, was also set up at the base. [6]
In September 2014, the base was awarded the honorary title of “National Advanced Collective of Technical talents”. [1] on October 1, the “Panda Valley”, the breeding wild release research center in Dujiangyan, the base, opened to the public. [1]
On April 20, 2015, Panda Valley was officially opened to the public.

The peacock here is free-range, so let it fly!

Come to the place where the light rail passes through the building in the popular video of Douyin!
There are three difficult problems in walking through the building.

Ye Tianyi said that Liziba Station on Line 2 was put into trial operation in 2004 and officially opened in 2006. As early as 1998, his team began a national unprecedented “crossing” design-letting Line 2 pass through the building. “this is a very challenging job.”

Ye Tianyi said that the building standards of buildings and rail transit are different, and the approval procedures are also different. At that time, the design team was faced with three major problems that had to be solved: first, to ensure that the track could pass through the building smoothly; secondly, when the track passed through the building, it could not affect the structure of the building; finally, the functional layout of the transit transformation of the rail station should be reasonable, which could dredge the passenger flow and satisfy the surrounding residents to travel.

Crossing the building is not suitable for the subway.

“the whole design process took two years.” Ye Tianyi said that the building through which Line 2 runs, the 1st to 5th floors are shops, the 9th to 19th floors are residential buildings, and the 6th to 8th floors in the middle are rail transit areas. Among them, the 6th floor is the station hall, the 7th floor is the equipment floor, the 8th floor is the platform floor, each floor area is about 3500 square meters, the air height is about 3.6m, and the length of the train is 132m.

“however, piercing is not suitable for the subway.” Ye Tianyi explained that apart from the fact that the subway is noisier than the light rail, its carrying capacity is also much larger than that of the light rail. If it passes through the building like the light rail, it will have an impact on the nearest neighbors.

20 cm away from the building

Some people say that Chongqing is a mountain city like God, and there is also traffic like God. This is not, when Rail Transit Line 2 passed through Liziba, there was a “crossing”. This kind of “crossing” was recently watched by a netizen who put a photo on the Internet, and countless non-local netizens could not help asking, “God!” Is this the first building or the first light rail?
“seeing the divine comments from netizens, it was really hard to laugh or cry.” As the designer of Liziba Station, Ye Tianyi also paid attention to all kinds of hot discussions about the station on the Internet.

“in the pictures seen by netizens, the building and the light rail are indeed hugged together. However, they are actually neighbors 20 centimeters apart. ” Ye Tianyi said that there is no sharing between the neighbors, or even a common property management, no common power lines, and so on.

Answer questions

Question 1

The building or the track first?

Many netizens wonder whether the Liziba station is the first building or light rail. Ye Tianyi said that Li Ziba Station and the building were designed and built at the same time, and there was no one who came first and who came later. “therefore, when building Li Ziba Station, it was not some netizens who guessed that they encountered nail households.”

Ye Tianyi also said that no matter the building or the track, once one of them is built first, it is difficult to combine the two well again.

Question 2

Does the building tremble slightly when crossing?

Standing on the bridge, the car drove by, more or less a little shaking. The light rail passes through the middle of the building. is there a slight tremor upstairs and downstairs?

Ye Tianyi dug up a 1998 structural design and explained: “although the light rail and the building seem to be one, in fact they do not interfere with each other.” When the light rail passes through Liziba Station, unlike other stations, the columns of the lifting track are not visible, but are buried in the lower house.

From the first floor of the building, there are six lifting columns on the track, each about 22 meters long. The pillars of the building are about 90, each 69 meters high, which are not with the pillars of the light rail.

“there is a safe distance of 20 centimeters between the six light rail pillars and the building.” Ye Tianyi said that the two seem to be combined, but in fact they do not interfere with each other, so the operation of the light rail will not bring vibration to the buildings.

Question 3

Will the passing of the train disturb the people?

Many netizens are also concerned about whether the noise will disturb the people when the light rail train passes by.

Ye Tianyi said that the light rail uses low-noise and low-vibration equipment, the wheels are pneumatic rubber tires, and the entire car body is supported by air springs, and the noise level during operation is far lower than the average noise level of 75.8 decibels of urban traffic trunk lines.

There are also a lot of photo maker here, as soon as the light rail comes, people raise their mobile phones to pat, ha!

In addition, light rail vehicles use DC traction, which will not produce electromagnetic waves.

“Green Paradise”: the first stop of the journey, the mountain city of Chongqing, the setting sun of the Jialing River, Light Rail Line 2 passing through the building, God-like terrain, God-like light rail, has become the only shocking scenery in the country!

“Sophie Summer”: it turns out that Dao Lang is not singing nonsense, there is really a No. 2 “car” parked on the eighth floor.

“Dream1987fl”: you can climb over mountains, cross canyons, get into buildings and get out of the platform. Chongqing light rail, the same light rail, different feelings, you deserve to have!

“I want to go to Yunnan”: this can be ah, crazy world ah.

“this life is only for tea eggs”: if you live upstairs, make a hole and jump into the car when you want to go out.

Tree crawler: Li Ziba Station is very interesting. I went up the escalator many times and waited for the bus in the belly of residential buildings. It was fun.

Experience

Light rail sound is not easy to detect.

The noise of the car is even louder.

Yesterday morning, the reporter set out from Qiaochangkou Station and took the Line 2 train to Liziba Station. After getting off, along the direction of the Guiyuan exit, I came to the ninth floor of the residential building where the station is located in less than a minute. The 40-year-old sister Mo was busy cutting meat in the kitchen. “I have lived here for four or five years, and unlike some people, I feel neither noisy nor shaky.”

While chatting with Sister Mo, the reporter originally wanted to hear if there was a train arriving at the station, but he never heard it. Sister Mo admitted that when everything quieted down, the sound of the train arriving at the station could still be heard. “however, it’s not noise, it’s not harsh.”

Sister Wang, who lives on the 11th floor, told reporters that she and her husband bought a house in the building in 2005 and were not aware of the light rail noise after moving in. “We have lived here for nearly nine years, and there has not been a single complaint about the noise of the light rail. On the contrary, the noise generated by the cars on the street is even louder.” Sister Wang said.

Perhaps some citizens have questioned that it has been eight years since Line 2 was officially put into operation in 2006. Has anyone recently discovered that it has passed through a building? The reporter learned that since its operation in 2006, netizens have constantly posted pictures of light rail crossing buildings on the Internet, while some netizens mistakenly thought that light rail had encountered a nail household who did not want to move. Until recently, some netizens once again sent the map of light rail crossing buildings to the online forum, which has become a popular post at the top, and tens of thousands of posts have also been forwarded on Weibo. Sogou ranked first in the search for pictures for two weeks in a row.

Sister Mo told reporters that sometimes when she went out to take the light rail on the eighth floor, she would run into a lot of tourists from other places. “they asked curiously if they were living upstairs, as they took out their cameras from their travel bags and photographed the trains coming in and out of the building.” Sister Mo said that over the years, the site has almost become a popular scenic spot for tourists from other places to Chongqing.

After watching the light rail through the building, we set off for Zhangjiajie!

The whole journey is more than 600 kilometers, and it is more than 1: 00 in the morning to Zhangjiajie. It is foggy on the highway, and the visibility is very low. Fortunately, there are not many cars on the road. For the sake of safety, the family slept in the high-speed service area for another night!

Arrive in Zhangjiajie in the morning!

Preliminary understanding, Zhangjiajie is divided into three scenic spots, a Wulingyuan, this scenic spot can only be finished in one or two days, we plan to go back to Yueyang in the evening, so we did not go here, the second is the Grand Canyon Scenic spot, there is a famous glass ball + the tallest elevator in the world! The third is Tianmen Mountain Scenic spot! When I heard that it was more fun here, I came to the Tianmen Mountain Scenic spot. The ticket price was 261 yuan. I thought it was a pass system. When you get inside, take the elevator 30 yuan, take the glass ramp 5 yuan!

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain and Songliang Mountain in ancient times, is the highest mountain in Yongding District of Zhangjiajie, 8 kilometers north of the city, named for the natural wonders of Tianmen Cave, and was first recorded in the annals of history. The main peak is 1518.6 meters, which was approved as a national forest park in July 1992.
Form a rare world spectacle-Tianmen Cave, which is opposite to the north and south. The gate is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and 60 meters deep. It is like a gateway to heaven, and it has been named Tianmen Mountain for 1754 years. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, with a complete primitive sub-forest, with many extremely precious and unique plant species, with a forest coverage rate of 90%. During this period, ancient trees are towering, vines are twining, moss are everywhere, stalagmites and stone buds are everywhere, like Tiancheng bonsai everywhere, and it is praised by the world as the most beautiful sky garden and paradise in the world. At noon on July 22, 2012, the French roller skater asked Yves Blondeau to challenge Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain was called Yunmeng Mountain in ancient times, also known as Yuping Mountain. It is located 8 kilometers south of Zhangjiajie city. In 263 AD, a hole in the upper part of the mountain was opened due to the collapse of the mountain wall, which has a history of 1754 years. During the three Kingdoms, Sun Xiu, king of Wu, thought he was auspicious and gave him the name “Tianmen Mountain”. Tianmen Cave, located on a cliff more than 1260 meters above sea level, is 131.5 meters high, 57 meters wide and more than 60 meters deep. According to the textual research of geological experts, at the confluence of the east-west syncline in the central system of the doorway, the rock was broken and collapsed due to compression, and the doorway was finally formed in 263. Tianmen Mountain is 1517.9 meters above sea level, and the relative height difference between Tianmen Mountain and the urban area at the foot of the mountain is more than 1300 meters, so it is very tall and straight, and its skyline is typical of the mountain.

The natural picture screen of the world. Tianmen Mountain uplift began with the Yanshan movement, and then through the Himalayan orogeny, the mountain was violently raised more than km, and the surrounding area was deeply cut by fault joints, coupled with the karst effect of long-term wind and rain erosion, resulting in a towering karst platform landform. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, with a complete primitive secondary forest, with many extremely precious and unique plant species, and a forest coverage rate of 90%. During this period, ancient trees are towering, vines are twining, moss are everywhere, stalagmites and sprouts are everywhere, like Tiancheng bonsai everywhere, and it is praised as the most beautiful sky garden and paradise in the world.
The north and south of Tianmen Cave is on the plain wall of thousand fathom, majestic and towering.

Tianmen Mountain (6)
It is not only a rare mountain cave at high altitude, but also a magical spectacle of creation.
Tianmen Cave is full of transpiration all the year round, the scene is unpredictable, sometimes there are clouds spitting from the hole, sometimes there is a glow through the hole, magnificent and magical, like a fantasy, seems to contain endless mysteries. Local chronicles once recorded: “in the ancient times, some natives saw the glow dream from the clouds, full of purple, full of holes, overflowing in Tianhe, thinking auspicious, falling to the ground to worship it.” Since ancient times, the fantasy and beauty of “Tianmen Fog” and “Tianmen Lingguang” have been regarded as auspicious phenomena in the heavenly world and are famous all over the world.

Tianmen Cave Open Scenic spot, located in the middle and upper part of Tianmen Mountain, more than 1300 meters from the sea, is not at the top of the four scenic spots of the whole mountain.
Tianmen Cave scenic spot gets its name because of Tianmen Cave, and Tianmen Cave in Tianmen Mountain is undoubtedly the most representative scenic spot. As a natural mountain-piercing cave at the highest altitude in the world, Tianmen Cave hangs above the thousand fathom wall, like a gate to the sky embedded in the curtain of the sky. The poet Wang Xinjian said in the poem “stepping on Tianmen Mountain”: “A few dreams wander for a long time, and the breeze steps on the flowers.” Step by step step by step Yinhan, the vast cloud path around the Cuiya. The secluded valley hides the ancient temple and draws a screen to move to Penglai. And bathing the haze into the wonderland, it is clear that the heart is close to Yaotai. “

The scenic spot, located in the west of the top of the mountain, is part of Tianmen Mountain’s “seclusion culture” and “Xianshan culture”.
The birthplace of Tianmen Mountain.
Guiguzi, a wizard between man and immortal in Chinese history, lived in seclusion, practice and apprenticeship on the cliff of Xianxian Wonderland Scenic spot, and is the representative of the seclusion school in Tianmen Mountain. The warrior who bravely broke into the Ghost Valley Cave occasionally photographed the “development of the Ghost Valley” on the stone wall of the cave, which is similar to the popular head portrait of Ghost Valley in the world, and has become another mystery in Tianmen Mountain. Emperor Shennong and his rain master Chi Songzi also left various relics and legends here. Tianmen Academy, which once trained two Hanlin, is a shrine of Taoist culture on Tianmen Mountain.

Tianjie Buddhist Scenic spot, located in the south of the top of the mountain, is the core of “Buddhist culture” in Tianmen Mountain.

Highway spectacle
The Tianmen Mountain Highway in Zhangjiajie is very steep, which is much more dangerous than the Daozhai Highway leading to the main road between Hunan and Guizhou, and the cost is very astonishing. The total length of the highway is about 10 kilometers, and the cost per meter is about 10000 yuan (about equivalent to the unit price of the highway). Therefore, the cost of the whole Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway has exceeded 100 million yuan.
Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway has a total of 99 sharp bends, of which the steepest section is successfully built through scientific argumentation and design. You can see the steepness of the highway through the pictures.
Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway is the only way to Tianmen Cave. All the newly imported Costa cars are driven by experienced drivers. There are professional processes and standards for how to control speed, how to drive, and how to turn. Therefore, it is very safe to take an environmentally friendly car in Tianmen Mountain Scenic spot on Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway. In the past few years since the opening of the Tianmen Mountain Scenic spot, there has never been any safety accident on the Tianmen Mountain Panshan Highway.

Take the bus up, all the way up, scared to death, the bus driver did not brake around the corner, feeling in the drift! The technology is very skilled!

It looks great! Very majestic in fact!

It must be unrealistic to take the children up these stairs! I thought I needed a hug if I couldn’t take a few steps.

So we chose to take the elevator, 30 yuan per person! There is no charge for children under 1.3 meters!
Mountain elevator
On April 25, 2015, the world’s first elevator installed in a mountain tunnel was officially put into operation.
The elevator through the mountain runs in the whole mountain tunnel, from the bottom of Tianmen Cave to the top of the mountain, a total of 12 sections, the total length of the escalator is 897m, the lifting height is 340m, and the total span is 692m. There are 16 30-meter super-high-heavy-duty bus escalators and 3 20-meter high-heavy-duty bus escalators with an one-way capacity of 3600 people per hour.
Tianmen Mountain elevator is the most difficult construction, the highest technical requirements, the highest lifting height, the longest total length of steps and the most creative escalator project in the world. it can be called the miracle of elevator engineering in the world. it is also another miracle of characteristic traffic in scenic spots.

It took nearly 20 minutes to get to the top of the mountain by elevator!

Tianmen Mountain
At noon on July 22, 2012, French roller skating master Jean Yves Blondeau, known as the “French roller skating Transformers”, did not take any other protective measures, but only wore his own special roller skating suit to challenge Tianmen Mountain 99 turn Tongtian Avenue and slide down from Tianmen Cave. It is estimated that the speed will exceed 90 kilometers per hour. Blondeau, 42, is known as the most skilled and daring roller skater in the world. He often takes risks to do high-speed roller skating on high-risk mountain roads around the world, and his speed record of more than 112 kilometers per hour has always been unmatched. Blondeau is going to challenge the Tongtian Avenue in Tianmen Mountain. Tongtian Avenue, which runs from the foot of Tianmen Mountain to Tianmen Cave, is 10.77km long and 6m wide, with a height difference of more than 1000 m from start to finish. The whole highway winds its way between ten thousand dangerous ravines, most of which are built on dangerous peaks and cliffs, with a total of 99 sharp bends, known as the “king of extreme roads in China”. [10]
On the afternoon of September 24, 2013, a thrilling wingsuit flight challenge show was staged in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. Jeb Coris, a wingsuit flying man from the United States, successfully crossed the Tianmen Cave after two test flights, setting another extreme flight record in human history.

With its grounding situation, Tianmen Cave has become the gateway to the sky in people’s hearts, and the Panshan road leading to Tianmen Cave is therefore called “Tongtian Road”. More miraculously, when the highway was completed, people were surprised to find that the Tongtian Avenue built along the mountain had just 99 bends, implying the meaning of “the sky has nine weights, the clouds have nine skies”. Tongtian Avenue takes the sign gate when entering the mountain as the starting point, all the way to the foot of Tianmen Cave.
Tongtian Avenue, with a total length of 10.77km, but in such a short distance, its elevation has risen sharply from 200m to 1300 m. On both sides of the road, the cliff is thousands of miles away, the empty valley is deep, and the 180-degree sharp bend disappears one after another. “it can be called the first highway spectacle in the world.” Mr. Shen Peng, executive vice president of the Chinese calligraphy Association, gladly wrote the inscription “qu Tao Tongtian” after walking through the Tongtian Avenue. The font is vigorous and straight, which is integrated with the wonderful world of Tongtian Avenue. The construction of Tongtian Avenue began in 1998 and was fully completed in 2005 due to the unique geology and climate of Tianmen Mountain. It took eight years and cost a total of 100 million yuan. The whole project is full of hardships, it embodies the wisdom and painstaking efforts of all the construction personnel, its potential is breathtaking and breathtaking, and it has become the first highway spectacle in the world by winding its way through the cliff of the mountain.

The Ghost Valley Plank Road, located in the Wonderland Scenic area of Qiuxian, is named because it hangs along the cliff on the upper side of the Ghost Valley Cave.
Ghost valley plank road [6]
The total length of the plank road is 1600 meters, with an average elevation of 1400 meters. The starting point is Yihongguan and the end point is Xiaotianmen. Different from other plank roads, the whole line of Ghost Valley Plank Road is neither at the top of the cliff nor on the side of the cliff, but stands in the middle of the Wanzhang cliff, giving people the feeling of rising and falling together with the cliff.
Standing on the plank road overlooking the mountains, the ancients felt that “one day I will climb to the top of you and have a clear view of the small mountains around me.” As Tianmen Mountain is a national forest park with rich vegetation and typical karst landforms, you can find a feeling of flying over the tropical rain forest Grand Canyon by helicopter on this plank road. This is a scene that can only be seen in movies. You can be there here.

Glass plank road
The glass walkway of Tianmen Mountain is a hanging glass aisle completed in September 2011. Located 500 meters from the beginning of Ghost Valley trestle Road in Tianmen Mountain, this is a fork in the road. For those who like excitement, you can choose to walk like this, otherwise you can go around the stone road next to it. It is made of hard toughened glass, surrounded by metal railings and transparent glass under its feet. It is 60 meters long and 1430 meters high and 1.6 meters wide. If you walk from above, you can practice courage. Don’t go to the timid.
Glass plank road
In 2015, the newly built glass plank road on the east side of the scenic spot was also officially opened. The glass plank road on the east line is located above the Tianmen hole, and walking on the plank road is like floating above the Tianmen hole. If you walk from above, you can practice courage. Don’t go for those who are timid and afraid of heights.

It looks scary!

The longest cableway in the world
1. Tianmen Mountain cableway is 7455 meters long, ranking first in the world.
The oblique length of the ropeway line is 7455 meters, and the horizontal height difference between the upper station and the next station is 1279 meters. It is the longest single-line cyclic release grip car-type ropeway in the world, of which 98 cars come from CWA Company of Switzerland. The car body is 2 meters high and the single cost is as high as 200000 yuan. Especially the design of 6 m / s running speed, the one-way transport capacity of 1000 people per hour and the maximum slope of 38 degrees are rare in China and even in the world. The ropeway has specially added three rescue brackets among the 57 supports, which are used to immediately carry out the “horizontal rescue” or “vertical rescue” scheme to safely rescue tourists to the ground when the ropeway is suddenly completely paralyzed, and the ropeway stations are equipped with lightning protection equipment, which is the most complete and advanced rescue system in the world.

two。 Humanized design, safe and secure.
Tianmen Mountain cableway project was established in May 1999. Ropeway companies from Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy and Japan have come to Tianmen Mountain for inspection. Finally, according to the field situation of Tianmen Mountain and the requirements of the National Cableway Safety Center, a contract was signed with France’s MOPA Company in Tianjin on March 17, 2001. The whole construction lasted more than two years and cost 220 million yuan from the opening ceremony on January 15, 2003 to August 2005. the whole set of equipment was imported according to European standards except that the bracket was produced in Tianjin, China. the whole construction strictly implements the safety process of “debugging-self-inspection-operation inspection-safety inspection”. Because the mountains along the ropeway are extremely high and dangerous, the geology and geomorphology are complex and changeable, the difficulty of construction is far beyond ordinary, and the whole construction process is extremely difficult. Tianmen Mountain cableway not only condenses the wisdom and sweat of all Chinese and foreign construction personnel, but also integrates the most advanced scientific and technological achievements of contemporary ropeway engineering, which can be called a miracle and a milestone in the construction of contemporary ropeway engineering.
Taking into account the long running time of the ropeway and the need for ventilation for tourists at high temperatures, two ventilation windows are specially designed for each car to form air convection. The humanized ropeway steel rope comes from France with a diameter of 50.1 mm and weighs up to 10 kg per meter. Ensure the safety of tourists.
The biggest highlight of Tianmen Mountain cableway is the design of its climbing bracket, which has a total of 96 cable wheels and 16 cable wheels. It integrates the most advanced theories and achievements in modern physics, modern engineering and modern manufacturing.
3. There are three stations on the ropeway.
Tianmen Mountain cableway has a total of three stations: the lower, middle and upper stations, of which the lower station covers an area of 11140 square meters and the ground is 165.80 meters above sea level, which is not only a circuitous and tight station room, but also a station room carrying tourists, its shape fully reflects the inspiration of modern design, spectacular style, transparent and elegant, the roof Radian of the attached building on both sides is like a pair of wings, the whole station room is in white and green as the basic tone. Symbolizing white clouds and nature The central station room, with a construction area of 3230 square meters, is a power-driven station room, which does not provide tourists to get on and off; the ground of the upper station room is 1438.56 meters above sea level, and it is also a circuitous tightening station room, covering an area of 1973 square meters.
The Tianmen Mountain cableway starts from the city garden in the center of Zhangjiajie and goes straight to the primitive sky garden at the top of Tianmen Mountain, like a rainbow flying across the “earth” and “sky”. It is also like a giant dragon Tengxiang Suyun sky, based on the mountain wall, pulling the earth into the sky, invigorating and magnificent, becoming one of the “four wonders” of Tianmen Mountain tourist scenic spot, adding unique wonders to Zhangjiajie, a world-class scenic spot.

After more than 3 hours of highway, I successfully reached my beautiful hometown-Dayueyang, and this bridge is also the best in the world. [Dongting Lake Bridge on Hangzhou-Rui Expressway]

Dongting Lake Bridge of Dayue Expressway is a super large bridge between Linxiang and Yueyang of Hangzhou-Rui Expressway in Hunan Province. Hangzhou-Rui Expressway is the 12th horizontal line in the national highway network, and it is also an important transportation channel running through the eastern, central and western regions of our country. Dayue Expressway is the easternmost section of Hangzhou-Rui Expressway in Hunan Province. It starts from Linxiang boundary, passes through Zhanqiao, Hefei, Hengpu and Junshan District, and ends with ten brigades of Jianxin Farm with a full length of 72.433km.
Dongting Lake Bridge of Dayue Expressway is located at the confluence of Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River, from Qili Mountain of Yueyang City in the east, across Dongting Lake and Jun Mountain in the west. The bridge is a key control project of Dayue Expressway with complex conditions and large scale. The bridge adopts the standard construction of two-way six-lane highway, the design speed is 100Km/h, the deck width is 33.5 m, the main bridge is arranged as (1480-453.6) m double-tower and double-span steel truss suspension bridge, the total length is 2390.18m, and the height of the main tower is about 236m. When completed, it will become the first steel truss girder suspension bridge with the first span in China and the second largest span in the world.
On February 1, 2018, the Dongting Bridge on Hangzhou (Hangzhou) Ruili (Ruili) Expressway was completed and opened to traffic.

When I got home, I felt like eating Yueyang barbecue and suffocating it all the way!

After playing in so many places, I didn’t buy any specialties. This is a Pu’er tea cigarette bought in Dali. It’s actually very difficult to smoke. It’s not as good as the soft white sand we have here for 5 yuan! It’s okay to make tea!

The packaging is still fun!

The whole journey is 6631 kilometers! It’s over! Thank you for watching!

It took 22 days and traveled 7000 kilometers across 10 provinces (Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang, Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei). This is the end of the self-driving tour around China (southwest). I have gained a lot along the way, and I have deep feelings. The other half of China (Northeast China) will be renewed next year! Apple X shooting all the way!
