Hebei, Inner Mongolia chapter:
In recent years, driving a better place to go traveling, but also liked the casual feel.
I can not like those rover, performance afraid of difficulties and obstacles, challenges the harsh limits of nature and life, with the body to experience the difficulties of access to mental freedom. I will find out the myriad of information, history, archeology, geography, ethnicity, architecture and religion. . . . . . Hunting to satisfy my heart, and explorations of history, ground trace of civilization; which brick by brick, a wooden one stone, there is more than its content, which for me is the lies its charm.
Temporary departure, consulting off-road club, the line identified as the northern route to go in Inner Mongolia, as lines through the Central Plains, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, vehicles and bad roads.
Car Gangchu Beijing, the Great Wall on the leap into orbit, inadvertently found that the trips accompanied the Great Wall. Soon the ridge along the ditch looming, intermittent, meandering stretch of the earthworks, resembles the collapse of the walls, which is the Great Wall, the future can often see a few days in the northwest. Only in Beijing, we look at is used to preserve or restore the city walls intact.
Driving through Badaling, soon will enter the Huailai County, Hebei Province on the ground, the roadside scenery very different, and the Badaling or the lush south, while the north has some yellow - the roadside vegetation thinning, and Some of the distant mountains have become bald, like the northwest ridge of the mace. Large trucks on the road, such as the tide surging coal la la la cuisine together with the flow of sand and gravel in Beijing, the car one by one like mad and roaring past.
On the civil and high-speed port, it is better, and along the way, then the fleet has crowing Station Road Station signs, can also save from Beijing so close to the old coaching inns, the previous month to just go to the Yu Gaoyou City Station, which was the The only preserved ancient Inn. Strange?
Xuanhua highway next to the wall, so that we can see the preservation of relatively well-off city of the Great Wall of Xuanhua, said the government declared the town of the Ming Dynasty more than Xi'an City, Taiyuan City, is also large, is its strategic position important thing is to accommodate a recent capital?
Xuanhua high-speed to go to Datong, Datong along State Road 109, also to Yinchuan, but to the Tung Sing National Road Datong coal is expected to vehicles, bad roads. Therefore, insurance, walking along State Road 110, Hohhot, Baotou line, the way is indeed a small car, roads are straight, just down slope from slope, governance in the grassland showed exuberant vitality, and the way to make you excited about the grassland. After the call packet high-speed, large Aoyama accompanied, but dry weather, vegetation sparse, high-speed journey smooth boring, sunflowers to stretching, but did not blossom.
We are out of Baotou, or walk along the national highway G110, all the way before the flag, five of the original, Linhe, Dengkou, Wuhai and then out into the Ningxia, Inner Mongolia. Clearly, we realized that it was along the Yellow River, is taking the Hetao Plain, in the Dengkou saw the Yellow River, "沧海一声笑, the surging tide of cross-strait" jacket of the Loop area of fat is obviously the case desertification, desert eyesight can be, and, approaching Wuhai time, see the desert mountains flooded the scene, inevitably Xin Chan. Fortunately, the manifestation of governance is still clearly visible. Everywhere along the "sea", take a break to the former flag Wuliangsuhai, such as the mirror surface. . . By the way, Inner Mongolia's "sea" is not the sea, but the lakes. In the eyes of the Mongols, the water, such as precious as life, a beautiful garden, so the water known as the "sea", sea Mongolian "Haizi" in short, which means garden. 咱Beijing that was not also a "sea" do, that is under the name of the Yuan Chuan.
Car trips must pay attention to security, so we do not Zouye Lu. In the middle of the city, such as entering the city out of the city to be time-consuming, choose small towns along the way, travel time, the city of towns a few kilometers away from finishing must be clear in order to determine accommodations. When to go there because of Linhe to dengkou road, and wanted to come headaches, back when you bite the bullet and decided to break G109 Road, but got a surprise, special utmost recommend: Shizuishan District - Dongsheng (Ordos City) along the 109 National Highway, grassland scenery all the way accompanied by, traffic, and good, long slope down from a long slope, with occasional trucks, but most of them for the transport of ore. Persons and vehicles to enjoy the vast expanse of grasslands, magnificent sunset. . . Baotou to Dongsheng have high-speed, Dongsheng and Shizuishan take three hours to walk between, during which there is no choice of residence.
