From the Shiquanhe - Yecheng, Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, the 1,200 km of highway, crossing the Kunlun Mountains, from the elevation of 4,000 meters above the plateau about 900 meters above sea level down to Xinjiang, is the world's highest road, known as the " Tin Road. "Every year people die because of altitude sickness, or roll-over on this road, when Kong Fansen is a roll-over on this road dead.
The Shiquanhe, due to repair, we have wasted a whole day's time, but think about the difficult days of the next few days the road would be no complaining. In order to save time, and the car bears consulting chef, decided two days to catch up after this, 1,200 km of the road, as soon as arrived in Xinjiang, each of us dreams to leave as soon as Ali, ran to Xinjiang, which streams full of grape juice paradise. Ali was too bleak, and we do not want to have to stay a day.
Later proved, we should be more than one day, three days arrived at Kashgar.
In order to hurry, we 6:00 am on the road (equivalent to Shanghai in the morning 4:00), dark and days, and grasslands are everywhere road everywhere rut, it is difficult to find the right way, and only follow the direction of the compass explored.
Finally stay up the dawn was already 9:00, and the front is a class of public wrong, azure blue lake vague shapes of the rising sun, east of the lake belongs to China, the west part of India, the lakes are filled with early bird ducks, geese, and Swan, a car from the lake before, swans fly over the lake, in the elegant blue lake fly, at least Shangqian Zhi, which is from the Guangdong Aso again ruins the scene, shouting: "Here if ten thousand Cantonese, ensuring a bird does not rest! Cantonese, come ah! "
Leave bangong our Toyota line 62 continues to move forward, road good, and imagination of a new Tibet-line is very different. Turn on a small slope and saw a car parked in the soil across the top of the hill, a group of people are taking pictures , parking in front of how much time to inquire about Tibet and Xinjiang's border --- Jieshan Osaka, group of people shouting: Here is the Jieshan Osaka! indeed block the humble roadside monument, wrote: "Jieshan Osaka, 6700 meters. "my god! 6700 meters, this is my experience in Tibet since the highest elevation of the body did not feel that, it seems Ali has given me 10 days to adapt to any altitude.
Soon to leave Tibet, and gave each of us made a second contribution to the Tibetan people the last time --- fertilization has done to commemorate.
Is a ditch in front of the famous dead, there was a company of People's Liberation Army in this camp, all Shuisi in the past, so named, to the future and see nothing but a small basin, there is no sign of even the end of the dead, continued on our way to bear.
A good way some time ago, let us consider that the new Tibet-line much better than this, but added all street stretching thousands of kilometers of snow-capped mountains, so we have had enough of the addiction, Himalayan mountain peaks is also very spectacular, but all Lex, but rather the vast peaks of the Kunlun Mountains thousands of miles in our eyes, close, or even touch, the kind of towering suffocating, as if snow-capped mountains as soon flew at front.
After a dead ditch, away from our intended camp - Hongliu Beach is only 200 kilometers, but our car seems to have suddenly had the same reaction to the altitude, 6-cylinder 2 refused to work, car breaks down in the barren hills on the start we have did not care, because a bad car off the road many times, were our masters MicroHand bear was quickly fixed, but this time, bears master repair for a long time had not repaired, the sky began to dim, one left the sun, the Kunlun Mountains rise immediately to become ferocious , the temperature quickly dropped to 0, under 10 degrees, the car's heating is also bad, and we put all the clothes, and even put on a sleeping bag, but also can not withstand the Kunlun Mountains in the cold, and if the night is broken down ghosts in this place, We do not know whether it will become popsicles.
Bear master repair for nearly two hours, the car barely started, but risks still not been eliminated. Days have been very dark, lights only do a few meters in front of the place, flying at an intensive light snow, in front of the dark peaks seemed to keep to engulf our little car. Everyone Dudong not speak very heavy heart, I do not know how long the car can support, I do not know how far in front of a small town only son, our car in the snow where the first line of the difficult road very smooth, and often gone through a lot of ditches and mud, each had a very difficult, one hour could not walk for 10 kilometers.
Thus hobbled, staggering forward, I wonder if after a few hours, had stopped snowing, or say that we are out of the snow area, a sky full of starlight, the sky of the Milky Way there is a long article, suddenly there in front of bright spot is the light , fixed, and should not be lights is that the housing! this light than any of the Star were all extremely brilliant!
Open until near to, the original was a depot, and we are tired seek shelter, the depot we were picked up, although only beds no hot water, we have been very happy, and at least we do not sleep on the cold of the Kunlun Mountains.
Even socks without taking off the tired lie down and sleep.
The next day, in order to hurry, we have 6:00 am start, and now everybody wants to leave early the Kunlun Mountains, and peaks at the end no longer even attractive. Just leave the house, see the snow in Montreal last night here too, under Heavy snow has. Xiong master said: "The bad, if the roads, but no snow, and will not see Zenmo away." This is still a dark day, if the snow about, do not know where the wilderness is a former road by now.
Only Chuang, and on the road, see the snow as many as rutting, that it snowed last night after the drivers have Zouye Lu, I really admire these drivers. Our car is still the same weakness, climbing to be a fee for each half-day time, some will not go up almost uphill. every time one of the cold sweat, we all pray quickly rushed to the 90 km outside of Tamarix Beach, because there Xiuju Pu. Moreover, we do not have much of the oil.
Climbed over a ridge, we are finally running out of oil, the car is not completely gone, I do not know how far to the Hongliu beach. This is the opposite to a car, we quickly asked. They were surprised to say that around this hill, there are 200 meters to go. God, and only 200 meters!
Finally borrowed oil climbed to a Hongliu Beach, this is where we plan to camp. More than a few houses and engage in half an hour, finally the car repaired on the road.
Henlan the road ahead is full of gravel road. It is difficult to go, but not dangerous. Climbed over a few Yamaguchi, and we finally began to feel the downhill is gone, leaving a hateful Kunlun Mountains.
Down the road for a very long, and so we really leave the Kunlun Mountains, had been 0:00, and to the first county in Xinjiang --- Yecheng was already 1:00, but heard that Yecheng security mess, no one would like to stay, want to rush to Kashgar. a simple point of eating noodles, they again hit the road.
To the Xinjiang and Tibet immediately felt different. My mind was once transported halo Hu Hu, at the foot of floating, and a low response to the performance of the original, from 6000 meters a day ride the same elevator down to 900 meters, oxygen excess, no strange reaction. Xinjiang poplar trees everywhere, Mi eyes wheat fields, a great feeling! TMD-Tibet line, finally came out!
Yecheng to Kashgar 250 km, is already 13 o'clock, but we are very excited, do not sleep immediately went to Kashi in! Immediately that we have always dreamed of paradise!
Car open until 16:00 (Xinjiang time, 2 points), we went to Kashi, Kashi, Xinjiang's second largest city, all the bars then! Lying on the soft quilt, 2-day-Tibet line seems like a dream .
