Conquest of the plateau - Hailuogou, Kangding, wood lattice wrong, tower of public grassland riding Tour Notes
Penny Yuen
The dream has finally become a reality for many years, the coveted plateau was finally a true display of beauty in the eyes. Snow-capped mountains, grass, lama temples, and the magic plateau, holy world, I came, I saw, I conquered.
1, excited (2002-4-30, Nanchong - shehong)
The day has finally come to the starting team in the Western Hills playground set is completed, starting at 19:00 pm. This is my first time in two years after the riding tour, once again set foot on tour, and I feel as excited as when the first long journey, because of this unprecedented growth of our team, 8 cars 13, behind a neat queue to the destination Jinfa .
Due to poor road conditions, to a short period of 110 kilometers shehong actually consumed over 4 hours away. With the dust-covered to find a good residence, has been almost around midnight. Recharge your batteries in preparation for tomorrow hurry.
Second, maneuvering (2002-5-1, shehong - Tianquan)
Tingdang early to pack, to continue our journey.
Car out of shehong, our happy life also began. Excellent roads so that we instinctively bolted together, the speed is rising, 80,90,100 ... ... even reached a top speed of 120 km! All the way through the three, in the river, Deyang, Guanghan, Qingbaijiang, new capital, Chengdu, arriving more than 13 o'clock noon when Wenjiang. Easily find a restaurant to fill his stomach and rest to continue to the road, Cheng Wen Qiong highway 75 km flashed by.
Just entered Qionglai city, a surge of thick smell of the wine comes, is indeed the township liquor. He tried to rest a moment, a team from the Mianyang roaring motorcycle team, Oh, like-minded! Suddenly tired nothing, chasing after it.
Seeing approaching mountains, bring up the rear of the teammates sent messages, in a car accident! Scared into a cold sweat, and quickly returned. Fortunately, the driver is only several bruises skin trauma, but the motorcycle in some need of repair, and a full toss about two hours to solve the problem. At this point it began to quietly light rain, Rain City Ya'an indeed well-deserved reputation. Take a look at the sky dimming, combined with wet roads, but to slowly moving in around 21:00 to the Daya An.
Wanted a taste of the famous elegant fish, but prices are abnormally high, then angrily just what the fish do not eat the point of a "Lao Sanpian": twice-cooked pork, spicy tofu and vegetarian soup, angry boss Yilengyileng of. Ha ha!
And then go forward more than 30 kilometers to reach Tianquan. Here is the final one before crossing the Erlang mountain town, the scale is not small, but very lonely. Ringing in the cold rain, wind howling, have had to pack up excitement in this hostel, the tomorrow morning into the mountains.
3, yin and yang sector and the snow-capped mountains Hot Springs (2002-5-2, Tianquan - Mill West)
A bed, he insecure, feeling chilly. I thought bad, and only brought a sweater, but also urged teammates to down jackets and thick sweaters to stay in the home, not on the plateau on the so cold, it can be how to do?
The unpleasant task of road, along with the gradual steep mountains, temperatures are getting lower and lower, more terrible is that under the drizzle had begun. Motorcycle struggling along mountain road, from time to time to see the roadside warning signs, "the dark ice surface, be careful slippery", it's enough scary. Vehicle and a sharp bends, see a large truck hit the rocks because of the brakes is less than 1, the nose concave into the half, smashing the glass off of Montreal. Erlang Erlang Mountain ah, you the "gate of hell" in the title does seem to live up to its name ah!
To move forward cautiously, and finally came to the hillside at the tunnel of Erlang Mountain, although cold and tired, but still great interest in this frenzied because Erlang is about to be conquered us! His teammates was going to add clothing, listening to passing truck drivers say the mountain sub-yin and yang, two sides, after a tunnel is the warm sun! Li immediately car, quickly ran through a tunnel length of 4176 meters, eyes suddenly bright! A time is really difficult to say when the scene: the sun, wind, canyons, mountains ... ... a new sense declares to us: we have entered the boundary of Ganzi has set foot on the plateau of the land! Cold stamping of us have also now been sweating a bit vaguely, while unique to the mountain seems to wind people fell the ... ...
The rise of the hill looked, and sure enough a cloud enveloped entirely conceivable that the above cold wind and rain, rain and fog. Gate of hell, yin and yang sector, which is known as the Sichuan-Tibet line first true portrayal of difficulties in Erlang.
Down the road is also very dangerous, steep cliff of the Dadu River, under a rolling Pentium, even worse is that section of road under construction, the road is rugged and dust. 318 State Road, the famous Sichuan-Tibet line, is only now beginning to give us a taste of it very powerful. Perhaps, after that there are more dangerous to wait for us to conquer ... ...
According to plan, we first went to Hailuogou, then fold in the two junctions at the south along the Dadu River valley to Moxi town. More than 50 kilometers good asphalt road, the Dadu River via the new bridge, 14:00 pm arrive at our first destination of this trip, under the well-known town Hailuogou - Moxi.
After a break to prepare into the ditch, but the head at the entrance has been poured a pot of cold water: Motorcycle excluded groove! Haoshuodaishuo management refused to release, then angrily into the ditch almost give up the intention. Hardships come here, actually wants us to take the scenic tour of the tourist car! It is difficult to accept.
Finally there is no impulse, we decided to stay there Moxi. Well, chosen not by your sightseeing car, sightseeing car prices we chartered a few more local private cars, ready to go tomorrow before sunrise, you can watch the famous spectacle of sunshine Jinshan.
Dinner at a farmhouse on the roof to see the distant horizon, the majestic snow-capped mountains and the bright Venus star, heart secretly pray for good weather tomorrow will certainly see the sunshine Jinshan. Bi took advantage of soaring rice spirits wandering town, by the selection of the aircraft big yak meat free tasting, or even someone just said that should really carrying his rice bowl to taste so that you can no longer have to order now, Ha ha!
Another pleasant surprise is that we actually take the local "mo's" Chen Ye slipped into the ditch, but before camp 1 checkpoints can no longer move forward. Had no choice but to soak the "Gongga soup," said the hot springs, the price surprisingly low, 5 yuan / person. Temperature Tangde people are really can not stand the cold water had to add many dare go. Really comfortable foam was one limb weakness, a lazy feeling.
The Jiu Li through highland barley wine, we have a sense Meimeideshui seems vaguely dreamed of the magnificent sunshine in Jinshan.
Four, walked four seasons (2002-5-3, Hailuogou - Kangding)
Wake up four black-shrouded, and see if time before 5:30 am, cars already waiting for us set off.
After a cold heart to go out, My God! In the rain! Driver said there had been no rain for a long time, are we so Ming Ku, Jinshan missed with sunshine?
Silent the way the car along a muddy mountain road up, we have followed the gradual sinking feeling. Has been the sunrise time for the rain, or the next stop. Bang out of the driver also happens to be watching us with sunshine passing Jinshan scenic spots, and I feel really bad to the extreme! The only hope is that rain clouds can be kept low, and until we can glimpse through the clouds after the elegance of Gongga Mountain.
Wishes are not even this minimum can be achieved until the end of Highway No. 3 camp days yet to clear up. Around the vast expanse of whiteness a rain and fog, clearly has felt the chill snow-capped mountains pressing but could see nothing in mind, secretly complain incessantly.
Matter has been this point, the back is useless, so get off embarked on foot to the glacier. At this point have been about 3,000 meters above sea level, combined with the beginning of a very steep road, a few teammates to follow the advice of the porters, obediently on the floor of the Pole. Unexpectedly soon Taihushangdang, the original path behind the extremely flat, and we walk everybody go head sweating, they are wrapped in coats still shivering with cold ... ... Ha ha!
1.8 km of the road, we are all in silence, to the viewing platform is still not see anything. Seems to be out of a completely fooled in the end to be taken in a fit of anger on attitude, we decided to still continue to go on, but the heart no longer have any hope.
Did not expect happiness was so sudden, after turning a huge and magnificent glaciers appeared in front of the! A huge canyon, a huge S-shaped valley, the flowing of what we admire the long-Hailuogou Glacier! With excitement has completed almost ran the last paragraph of the small slippery downhill, and our feet tread in a truly bone-chilling cold and very slippery ice!
From afar, S-shaped rather like a huge glacier conch, which is the name of the source of Hailuogou. Countless serac clusters around the stands, in the middle also be mixed with many unpredictable and irregular cracks in the ice cave. Tour will be a non-crossing warning signs of this line stand in the ice surface, we are in a relatively smooth one area Shangcuanxiatiao I do not know how many times slipped and fell the number of Gendou. At this time there were numerous underground played a goose feather snow, the extreme excitement of us eager to pulling out the phone prepared to give the family friend informed, to share the joy with them. Unfortunately, an earlier time (8:00 am until more), most Slob are definitely still up late, phone no one answered. Hey, what a shame!
It is worth mentioning that back in before I came to Hailuogou, they heard friends introduced glaciers have a restricted area warning signs, did not expect that this piece of warning signs are now in our hands, was able to wave at random, arbitrary inserted in a place for our pictures of. Oh, interesting, right? Everywhere we have become "forbidden zone", enough to show off in front of his or her friends.
Almost at a sudden, the clouds dispersed, and touch of sunlight sprinkled on the ice, the distant snow-capped mountains have gradually revealed the figure ... ... even more excited about our busy happened, only one thought in mind: hurry Camp No. 4, go to see the famous big ice waterfall style!
Aerial ropeway fare not cheap, 160 yuan / person. Not so much a long row of the team has finally squeezed into it. Length of 3,500 meters of rope from the glaciers above the passing overlooking a huge glaciers, increasingly feel the magnificent.
Reach an elevation of 3600 meters of the camp on the 4th only found on the vagaries of the weather in mountains once again make fun of us, all around is a vast expanse of whiteness of the clouds! Grasp the logic of an idea, and so on! We must see the big ice falls Cai Ganxin! So we boredom in the camps around the cruise, but still found a mountain to climb Deng Gongga warriors killed in the monument erected in Beiqian stood in the minds of these warriors were full of respect for the feat.
Found more and more cold, may hasten to add that point of energy. Alas, the shop selling instant noodles actually played a long queue row, have waited for 1 hour before a 10 yuan to buy a bowl of instant noodles, soup Xia Du, and finally opened seemed to warm the stomach has been almost completely frozen.
Fast 13:00, and the clouds have not yet spread, many travelers began to regret down the mountain. We also began to falter, just as ready to give up soon as the distance when the suddenly heard a dull boom as a tour guide told us that this is the ice falls occurred Bingbeng big voice, followed by again soon as. Finally granted it a point that we adhere to wait confidence.
Hard work pays off with a flurry of wind scratch, clouds gradually faded, large ice falls 1.1 points to reveal its mysterious veil. One time we caught her breath for fear alerted the clouds again covered.
Really spectacular ah, in the more than 1000 meters wide glacier lie huge icefall, a full several hundred meters high. Icefall The following is the Millennium Xuanbing on the 100 meters thick, at an annual rate of about 180 meters down the flow. Yun ah, and then spread out points, and let us look at the icefall behind Gongga Kamiyama bar!
It did not, there are not many clouds began to gradually thickened, icefall once again disappeared from our sight. Tour guide said that today's casual Zhexia Ke can not drive, but unfortunately we can only with much regret that I returned. This long been found in shoes and socks wet ice, cold to death.
Back to the grind today, the West did not know foot of the mountain rain, burning sun tan then we straight sweating. From the date this morning to get up, we should come from the spring during the winter, and finally back to the summer.
Reluctantly to leave the mill west, to our next stop - Kangding work towards it.
Luding vehicle and, after the sky has been dark, but a light rain began to Piaoqi. In the raging Dadu River Night, and my heart was really a bit fat virtual, 49 kilometers away we spent three hours it took. 22:00 or so, we have reached under the Paoma Shan Yo City - Kangding.
5, snow-capped mountains, grass, lamasery (2002-5-4, Kangding - Tower Public)
Got up early to prepare our hearts to the Holy Land - tower of public grassland.
Drank a bowl of buttered tea is not authentic (actually is salty?), Feeling a bit greasy, or fried dough sticks plus Roubao Zi really come. The famous Pao Mashan on the roadside, or come back to look at bar.
Gang Chu Kang City, a bridge over Princess Wen Cheng, the lofty peaks are displayed in front of. Listen to local people say that this is one of Gongga mountain peaks, and finally recovered some of yesterday's regret. Is preparing to take advantage of high spirits hurry, drag things appeared, and everyone and some washing, some repair, angry people die. Dallying a while before Sheung good.
After a snow-capped mountains we say these days, it seems that a bit accustomed to. However, in a bend, the distant snow-capped mountains scenery is so beautiful, so we must not stop and a careful watch. Gongga Mountain, you seem to so close we could not let us close to you why that is the true capacity of it?
At this point, the opposite team, a team of motorcycle sped to the strangers out of our shared passion up greeting. Originally they came from Meishan, from the Aba into the plateau, after Siguniangshan, Xiaojin, Danba to Ganzi. They warned us off in front of climatic variability over the mountains, let us as much as possible Reloaded. It also gives us a shocking news, saying that top of the hill is too low visibility, we must be careful bandit robbery. One time we frantically, have thickened his waist, a few just bought knives Kangding teammates also subconsciously see the knife out of the look. I have no clothes except the additive, and only re-bite the bullet and rushed forward.
High rise, power has gradually enough on the thin mountain air so that our vehicles are hard pressed to later find it difficult to even led to a stall. Left with no alternative but to remove the air filter, using the most primitive way to increase the engine's inlet air quantity, was able to continue a more normal rate of climb upward.
This steep hill to more favorably than Erlang, we, like the snail-like in the silk ribbon winding mountain road peristalsis. Is far from top of the hill saw a gloomy shrouded heart, well positioned to meet secretly adverse weather preparations.
Sure enough, near the peak at it began to snow the size of soybean particles, like heavy rain poured down to us come play helmet mask pops chaos ring. Particles even after the snow fell on the ground like a ping-pong-like Leap Zhitiao, although our hearts straight drums, but also think that blowing snow particles hill and dale quite interesting.
Forward, turn, and then move forward ... ... finally, in a corner to see a piece of identification card, a few characters so that we desperately Ben was moved to the past. "Folded mountainous, elevation 4298 meters", we are in such bad weather off the conquest of the mountainous! I jumped with joy when the pictures of course, forget the collective, leaving this precious moment: our footprint, real step in the folding multi-Peak, stepping across the plateau of the summit! For a time, what is cold, danger, fatigue, fear had left the back seat, surrounded by snow-capped for us to testify, filled the air of the snow for us to give evidence: fold mountains, we conquered!
Blink of an eye, scattered clouds had stopped snowing, dazzling sunlight sprinkled on us, snow-capped mountains seemed to accept us, greetings to us. A silver around the world, and peaks encircling us, a sense of victory and conquest of pride wells up from the heart!
Yamashita is a "photographer's paradise" laudatory of the xinduqiao. Flat and wide along the road, roadside grass everywhere, rivers, and scattered Tibetan Tibetan stone house, everything is patchwork and natural coordination. Yak in a meadow full of wildflowers on a leisurely pacing, clear quietly flowing rivers, curl of smoke rising from the Tibetan Tibetan stone house on a quiet, blue eagle in the sky flying free. Quiet, peaceful, picture, heaven ... ... countless feelings in their hearts, it seems that vaguely came to the legendary Shambhala magical world, it is unforgettable.
Tibetan Cordyceps from time to time along the way to sell, very cheap, only 1.5 per / root. His teammates have to stop and buy, I do not know to distinguish between genuine, do not bother the Qucourenao, but quietly stood by, watching the distant snow-capped mountains grass daze, really unspeakable beauty.
晕晕in Huhu riding in the picturesque beauty, unknowingly came to the end of our trip destinations - Tower of public grassland. If we say that the beauty of just xinduqiao scene a fine picture, then the tower gives the impression that the public like a prairie came to the holy paradise.
Tower Kimisato, locally known as "Little Tibet", where everything and dreams of the snow-covered plateau identical. Grass hills, gurgling of the flowing water, glittering lamasery, Yala horizon majestic snow-capped mountains, the human soul appears in such holy places has also been purified.
In the grasslands heartily cheered, the dream of the Holy Land, the dream of heaven, we have come!
To carefully describe the prairie scenery is really very difficult, it is worth mentioning is located in the central grasslands elegant wooden urn, in the sunset glittering under irradiation, giving a rich, dignity and sacred and inviolable as if感觉. Shape surrounded by a huge thump crows foraging in the urn, and does not fear of people. Eagle in the blue sky Lengao watched us, occasionally waving its broad wings, and flew toward the sky higher.
Such passion when it found that headaches gradually subsided a lot and also appeared in the symptoms of dizziness and chest tightness. 1 inquire about the original here to reach more than 4300 meters above sea level, actually even higher than the folding mountainous Peak! No wonder with the reaction to high altitudes! Then scurried to find shelter, was quickly closed.
Dinner had already been several teammates could not get up, and we tolerate a severe reaction to high altitudes, with the chops to take medicine like a few mouthfuls of rice, early and slipped into the blanket, the original plan Kaoquan Yang activities to give up. To listen to that tonight might be the landlord under the snow, temperatures drop to minus ten degrees. I thought about hanging was another Lao Gao, dear, that's not me to the frozen?
6, God Temple and the holy lakes (2002-5-5, Tower Public - Kangding)
It's strange, is not only built a thick quilt, but still nice and warm, perhaps the housing structure of Tibetan insulation function bar! However, we could not sleep all night, and perhaps this is also a reaction to high altitudes at play bar!
With great difficulty last until dawn, Coudao a look at the window, wow! Snow-capped! Throughout the grassland are coated in a blanketed by the horizon, snow-capped mountains of the Yarra has long been omitted, but added packages have transformed the surrounding hills, posing as "Snow Mountain", with white bread like. A closer look, there were numerous of the goose feather snow is silently falling, gently as though afraid to scare away the early morning quiet of the prairie.
Hurry to get up, marching in Montreal's Bingzha and snow came to the endless expanses of snowy Sahuan. Oh, it should be rubbed in the snow, the wild. Wood Ya urn remained quietly standing in a snowy field in the central, silently watching us, more holy and solemn look.
To grassland, is naturally to be on horseback. Enthusiastic Tibetans surround our "caravan", and started to snow and fog of the Grassland "gallop" (really sorry, we are all riding the "low hands", 4 Liu Liu tentatively also be counted as "surf" Bar) . Have never had such a feeling of fresh air, cold snow, the vast snowy, it seems, in this moment, people seem unparalleled breadth of mind, making my mind also appears incomparable purity.
Crazy it was found not to have breakfast. Yesterday in Kangding eat authentic Tibetan meal too, today must be enjoyed in the grasslands once authentic Tibetan meal.
Side dishes one after another in the ranks, in addition to things we could not utter the name of buttered tea. Still warm out of the landlord reported to us one by one fully aware of the name of the dish: butter tea, tsampa, cheese sub, yogurt son, ginseng fruit ... ... there is a cake-like things like put their names to the forgotten. We swarm, and could not refined, have been pulling it up by hand. Some delicious, such as yogurt son, ginseng fruit, while others Weitongjuela, such as cheese sub. The most amazing is buttered tea is no longer a strange kind of salty Kangding town, but a very nice micro-sweet. But do not drink, we subsequently concluded buttered tea is "a bowl of incense, two bowls of injuries, three bowls like Yao Tang," is still the same people will get tired of dizziness. Tsampa is even more an indescribable flavor, smell quite unpleasant, and even a little stinky, can eat quite fragrant. However, the same can not eat tsampa, or else people will get tired of dizziness.
And he plans to fill the stomach to go to worship God Temple grassland - lhakang of.
Ticket warm with Tibetan lamas in our ticket on the flamboyant manner wrote "auspicious", "good health" category of the message, which although we can not distinguish between how the general Tibetan those heavenly, but still very grateful to accepted their blessings.
Solemn and sacred temple is full of scripture written in Tibetan, and made us just muddle. To be honest we did not quite understand the meaning of those religious painting, but those pious towards the direction of Lhasa, knocking long head of the faithful still deeply impressed us, said they are even able to do life-sized measuring step in a call-in to the road to Lhasa, have to spend three years to arrive! They have faith, piety makes us feel shock, coupled with temples and solemn atmosphere, so that we could not help but seriously again.
Buried in the backyard of the temple is the ancient Buddha relic of Tallinn, the wind strokes Yang hillsides colored streamer and numerous white pagoda, no doubt is a wonderful scenery.
Although it is regrettable that the Buddha did not see here, but the friendly lamas, or to send each of us a hand played by the living Buddha of the yellow line statement, saying that as long as the carry the Buddha will bless us. Respectfully took the time being helpless do not know how to express my gratitude, had the habit of hands clasped together in accordance with the Mainland, and then read soon as Amitabha. Oh, some nondescript, but the Xinchengzeling Well!
The farewell to the beautiful tower of the public grasslands, and wait for a ah, eagle, snow, grass, God Temple, all this will forever stay in our beautiful memory.
Along the same route back, once again crossing the mountainous folded encountered a rare good weather. Peak monastery is surrounded by standing around, and the plateau seems limitless panoramic view, magnificent mountains and rivers, tall and straight peaks, people really could not bear to leave.
Back to Kangding then non-stop over 30 kilometers of town, went to the wooden grid fault, the way the scenery now sets show the other side of the plateau beautiful variety. Deep canyon where towering trees, streams murmur, of course, remains the crowning touch to the horizon of snow-capped mountains.
They never thought that they had to suffer the scenic and Hailuogou the same outrageous things, motorcycles not allowed entry, but also have to switch to tourist vehicle! In order to convince us, scenic area management staff has also voiced a surprise, then, the mountains there are wolves, leopards, bears and other wild animals come and go! So part of the team he pulled out, changed his travel Paoma Shan. The backbone of the remaining few of us tend to such a difficult path, venturing into the scenic area.
Sightseeing car toward the peak altitude of 3,700 meters away, and excellent scenery along the way difficult to 11 words out. Has been a seven-color sea, medicine pool boiling springs, Yao Chi and other attractions, came to the well-known mountain holy lakes - wood lattice error (Chinese name of the savage sea).
What's amazing is at such a high altitude lake, actually has a large beach, as the same beach. Crystal clear blue lake bottom, the same as the tide gently tapping the beach. Lake surrounded by mountains and hills, the sunset on the lake Fanchu golden light. Si Xiali a silence, only occasionally broken Chaosheng lake as the tranquility of this wonderland. Standing in a daze involuntarily lake, the lake extends along the line of sight to the distant snow-capped mountains, thoughts flew to the snow-capped mountains are always behind it a beautiful prairie ... ... such a beautiful hypnotic, breathtaking.
Leisurely down the mountain, came to medicine pool boiling springs. This is one sphere of up to 95 ℃ temperature of the hot springs, both for drinking, but also wash their feet. We are here taking a rest, by the way look at the past few days lifting of fatigue. The most amazing is the hot spring boiled egg out of the local known as "Douhua egg" yolk is cooked and the egg is half-in. When eating on the need to knock a hole in the shell slowly suck, we still do not understand how can we cook that egg.
The United States and the United States in the enjoyment of some "Douhua egg", and then the comfort of a hot bubble of the foot (back before I found out that my corns died and more), whole body is really comfortable. Took the opportunity to re-watch the "Lotus afterglow" of the spectacle, and he plans to leave. What are wild beasts, not even the shadow of no see, but added little to see a squirrel in a jubilant manner popping.
Back followed by teammate boasted wooden lattice wrong horizons hear them stunned, regret incessantly. Ha ha!
Tomorrow we must return journey, and can not go Paoma Shan. Decided to make major forces tomorrow first, several of us went early to catch up with them Paoma Shan Zai Qu. Thought we should bid farewell to the plateau, the hearts of really reluctantly.
7, flying wins Luding Bridge (2002-5-6, Kangding - Chengdu)
A bright sunny day, leave teammates have returned to Chengdu, and the remaining three vehicles that we remain in Kangding, in order to a round Paoma Shan dream.
Good steep mountain road, even more than the Erlang Mountain and folded mountainous! Car to the hillside will not be able to move forward, had to get off Riding. Winding narrow winding path, the naughty horse happens always like to rely on a cliff walk, and my heart straight drum them altogether. Even more frightening is that in the most narrow roads, the most advantageous place, Qian Ma of the groom actually put the reins Didao our hands and allow us to ride in the past. Hidden in the chest of the Buddha touched the yellow line to send my heart, "Amitabha," "God bless" in a burst read prayers, and finally summon the courage to reach the summit.
It took tremendous efforts, the result is a great disappointment. The original famous Pao Mashan on so small a place, known as the "race track" is just a lawn the size of a basketball court surrounded by woods scattered with a temple and a White Tower. Hey, soul pull Department of Pao Mashan dream, never been in our dream is so beautiful, you are witnessing when we got there so mediocre. Knew might as well not come, let us continue to maintain a vision of a better share of it!
Bored to death I take a look at the time, teammates are already more than an hour of departure. Quickly re-scary ride down the mountain (even more jittery than go to the mountains), returned it received a good pack to catch up with great force.
We are potholes in the Dadu River uneven mountain roads to ride fast, in order to keep up early in front of teammates. Constant acceleration, the wheels run over the road under construction, set off a string of long cloud of dust. A few days ago we Luding to Kangding, spent a full three hours it took us away, today actually took only 1 hour! Joked when we have just reached Luding Bridge speed can really comparable to the Red Army seized fly rapidly when the Luding Bridge.
Here the tourists were wearing short-sleeved shirt, but we still bulging waistline body to maintain a snowy field on a dress that he felt embarrassed. Hurry to find a small restaurant unloaded a heavy burden, long way Shulekouqi really refreshing!
To eat a bowl of vinegar very tasty soup, we set foot on the famous Luding Bridge.
13 iron chain still exists, silently speak to us then heroic. Galloping raging Dadu River Bridge, with the potential force of a thunderbolt to the distant torrent away. In front of all, people can not help armored cavalry memorial past years.
Found that more than a lot of fascinating stats around, "Red Army", the original change of clothing we have pictured. Oh, this, but a strange landscape, these "Red Army" fat of the fat, white, white, and some kinda with a beer belly, people simmer with laughter.
Tianquan finally catch up with a big force in the vicinity, the team, after confluence of mighty way all the way popular with everyone in the dark before the arrived in Chengdu.
8, go home (2002-5-7, Chengdu - Nanchong)
To go back home and think of crazy these days to stimulate the great sport of the journey, really feel boundless. Still on the road, we have begun to discuss the next action goals, and some say to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong, some say to visit Xi'an, perhaps in the National Day or next 51, our new turn started a journey, we will meet the other an adventure challenges, we will conquer another strange world.
300 km seems like a short distance to see the familiar lights at the foot of the Western Hills, we are back to the starting place. Tomorrow, we turn back to their ordinary jobs start a new day. But our hearts will still be kept Caleche, eager for the next journey to come.
7 days, 1750 kilometers, the maximum elevation of 4,300 meters, experience four seasons, this is our history of conquest of the plateau.
9, Comedy flashback
1, towards the end of the journey, we travel together to discuss the rider's teammate the way home. The want them to take the train to Chengdu, but fear can not be bought; if it continues to ride motorcycles do, shehong about 60 km to pengxi bad roads are afraid they are too much. So you Goutoujunshi have come up with ideas so that they can find ways to avoid this section of track, and some said that by car, and some say do not walk ... ... are some constructive proposals. Awhile, came a voice: "By the shehong let them take the 'mo's' going pengxi Well," everyone else down.
2, the day after the accident repair in the mountains when a teammate at the side of the complacent schadenfreude: "I am the car has never Shuaiguogendou," Wen Yan after the busy these words indicate that he is not casually talk nonsense, he is still not agree. Public back from the tower when approaching Kangding, this old chap indeed been punished, and rear-end the vehicle in front falls, then gradually speechless.
3, in the Living Buddha fought lhakang recipient of the yellow line junction after the monks exhorted us to be careful not to dirty, do not lose, do not open the ... ... will bear a lot of discipline. Jiji cuckoo behind a teammate's mouth, carefully an old saying is: "This is the next addition of the things that can not be lost, and lost, then he finished, how should we do?"
4, the plateau is often unconscious, incoherent, incomprehensible were out there, we lay the blame on mountain sickness. Moxi is a night town, wandering snack bar when you see a letter to "name Snacks grinding surface," Da-Qi is ready to go with some friends taste. Who would have expected Fanzao laugh that I Laoyanhunhua. Busy Rourou Yan again, the original right to left should be "caught in the West were snacks" big embarrassed.
5, when we first arrived Hailuogou neat rows, fully equipped, management determined not to let us ride inside. Due to see the local "mo's" freedom of movement and without Mai Menpiao heart, has always been indignant. Later, when the Moxi town wandering from one teammate called and said he mixed into the ride, and Da-Qi. It turned out he unloaded equipment in the residence after they took off his coat disguise, rushed straight to the door, people actually thought he was local "mo's" and allowed to go. While trying to emulate us, Hu Wen he came out, the original ditch the temperature is too low, barebacked really hard ... ...
6, wooden lattice wrong prescription boiling springs pool water temperature as high as 95 ℃, the water is generally used at access to drinking water and cook the "Douhua egg", by adding a large number of cold feet or pools Zexu be admitted. A team-mate abruptly actually a foot in the water at 95 ℃, suddenly screams again and again, hurriedly rushed to cold water at flush.
