The next day: cross-country bus trip on
August 10: We go to the station the morning of the 11-point start to buy the car, Hsiao-ming they seize the time in Chengdu, stroll a bit. Because all of the aircraft the day before the wrong machine, so we went to Chengdu have been very late, originally wanted to go, "Huangchenglaoma" or "Pakistan Commoner" an extravagance, and did not take place. Two numbers from Chengdu to Kangding only cars, from 6:30 am to 1 pm, every hour intervals, with the CMB and buses (with photos), CMB 98, bus 112, I still build all buses, because of the difference is not, but the bus would be more comfortable.

Stop eating at noon, our driver stopped at a "Kang Hung Hotel" in front, we have six individual called a "braised fish" and the other two dishes, it spent only 45 yuan in Sichuan, the driver fixed stop down by the roadside shops, unlike the Guangdong side of the restaurant, and sometimes it is quite cheap and vegetables America, and this dish Finally, let us eat with the fish sauce is used to Pao Fan, and really delicious!

Xiao-Ming Cong Juli read out last night because they were delayed aircraft, to Chengdu is 19 o'clock, the new south gate of the station has stopped selling tickets on the staff asked them to Kangding 6:00 of the ticket, they were people ask: Why must you sit the car so early? The original implementation of Erlang Mountain Tunnel out of pairs into a single system, but also into the time was 5 pm before release, so regardless of your car is 12 noon to 4 pm, or to have to wait until 5:00 to come through, in Kangding with us convergence of the poor little blue comrades that day just sit and 7 o'clock in the morning the car as a result, they arrive at 0:00 Erlang mountain tunnel, at the door waiting for five hours, only earlier than our car a little bit by this point we must pay attention to, sitting 11 points or 12 points of cars can be, just before the 16 o'clock number to go into the tunnel mouth, wait a moment, you can out.
Our line is starting from Chengdu via Kangding, Sichuan-Tibet Southern line before walking into the Inagi Litang, and then from the Yunnan-Tibet line to Yunnan. Western Sichuan was originally gravel road, and because it is the relationship between the rainy season, many places to collapse or washed red collapsed. From Chengdu to 2 Long Hill Road, the tunnel is still better to walk in, too, after the tunnel is the one exception to the terrible driving experience, because the full range of road, but also the rainy season, many places to red or red fall collapse, so Our car is basically a bus state of off-road vehicles to go this route, the road on both sides and sometimes boulder-sen Li, Tang Shui and the line sometimes, but also to climb 45-degree slope, would be car when two vehicles glass paste are glass, mirrors adhesion mirrors. At the same time in some small villages where the streets wear to wear to go, left twist, turn right side of the road road workers although long-term in such a bad working environment, still from time to time the car MM greeting, showing a very warm period side, a pity that all of the MM in the expression in a long time shaking trance and drowsy.
Therefore, packages from Chengdu to go off-road vehicles, although expensive Daocheng points, may well be a wise choice, unless you want to have the opportunity to enjoy the bus driver in superb superb driving skills and experience about four or five-hour cross-country bus trip.
