Why ride to Huanglongxi—D3: Hehe City—Luqu County

▲In a windowless house, I didn’t realize it snowed heavily last night.

▲When I went out, I saw that it was snowing a lot and the temperature dropped sharply. It looked like I was going to have a hard time riding today.

▲ Maverick said: I haven’t ridden in the snow yet. We must not hitchhike, we must ride. Well, with heavy snow on the branches, riding is even more exciting!

▲Today’s destination is Luqu

▲We are still 725km away from Chengdu. Every time we see these road signs, we will get more energetic in driving.

▲The Mavericks were a bit slow, so I took various selfies while waiting for him.

▲I met the German female rider again and looked helplessly at the frozen gear. In fact, my gearbox was frozen before, but I couldn't tell her: I turned it on by peeing. Fortunately, I brought a thermos cup and poured some hot water on her car's transmission, and the transmission came back to life!

▲The 15km uphill climb is not very tiring. Seeing these white pancakes makes me feel a little hungry.

▲Maverick and his German female rider slowly climb the hill

▲After climbing to the top, I didn’t dare to ride on the downhill section. Snow and water flowed across the road, and water droplets flew in front of my eyes. I could only slowly slide to the bottom of the mountain.

▲The sun is shining, and we are finally far away from the ice and snow road. We also saw the 300-kilometer road monument and checked in to take photos.

▲I went to Amuquhu Town for a break and was very satisfied with this big bowl of fried noodles.

▲In the afternoon, there was another nearly 20km climb. The moment we reached the prayer flags, all the fatigue disappeared.

▲Waiting for Mavericks at the intersection of Luqu County

▲ Along the Tao River, there are rows of buildings, promenades, and white towers with ethnic characteristics, making it a quiet and beautiful town.

Maverick said: Today is not easy, I climbed two mountains! In fact, there are only two long slopes. I know that he is using this as an excuse again, just because he wants to treat himself well. Then try the authentic yak hotpot.

At night, I felt very distressed when I saw the dirty mistress polluted by rainwater. Let’s take a bath together.
