Lao Cui's songs may be more suitable for roaring in the vast and sparsely populated plateau.

Day5 Kangding-Zheduotang-Zheduo Mountain (4298 meters)-Xinduqiao

 

This day is preceded by text and followed by pictures. If you want to see the pictures, scroll back.

 

The six of us have officially formed a team. It feels good to have teammates.

 

From that day on, there were children and the shy brother in front. They rode fast and arrived at the location first every time, helping to find food and accommodation. In the middle, there were Mouse and Xiao Qiao chatting with them. Finally, the captain silently closed the team.

 

Young people from all over the world were striving for the same goal, singing loudly on the road, and shouting loudly when they arrived at the pass. At that time, I forgot many troubles and just wanted to try to remember every little beauty I had with them.

 

I will remember that the shy brother who was not shy at all teased the girl all the way down to the 5-year-old girl; the child fell miserably trying to ride side by side with the girl; the captain who never pushed the bicycle gave up for a girl on foot. The principle; Xiao Qiao, even though you lost my camera card, I still remember your smile on Gaoer Temple Mountain and giving me the large ham you were reluctant to eat; Mouse, Rumei bought it for 5 yuan a piece. I still have endless aftertaste after eating the big cucumber.

 

After recovering from recovery, oh shit... I had to rest for a day before riding again, and it was still uphill. It was still a high altitude of 2500m, which made me unable to recover for a while. The rats were afraid that I would not be able to do it, so they took my backpack with them to ride. The passing cyclists were very cruel. I ate a handful of dog food.

 

Zheduo Mountain is a mountain that tortures people a lot. "Zheduo" means crooked in Tibetan . Anyway, I didn’t know what it looked like in front of me, so I just climbed for several times. After an hour, when I looked back at the road behind me, I couldn't believe that I climbed up by myself.

 

Arrive at a false pass at 14:00.

 

After another hour of riding uphill, we finally arrived, the first mountain with an altitude above 4,000 meters - Zheduo Mountain.

 

I didn’t feel very excited about conquering the first 4,000 meters because it was extremely cold on the mountain, so I quickly took photos and left.

 

When I was going downhill, I met Ajia, a Tibetan who sells yogurt on the roadside. The shy guy didn't forget to ask for a photo. Hey... striking up conversations is probably Shy Guy's daily task.

 

Xinduqiao is beautiful in any photo taken, but I am not in the mood to see it anymore. Because the mouse was chilled by the wind during the day and had a fever at night. The man who made me a cup of 999 every morning got sick first and fell asleep early after dinner. I began to feel very worried. There was no mobile phone signal in Xinduqiao and I couldn't find a clinic. What if something happened to me? But I finally fell asleep in my anxiety. Well, people with fever can still use it to keep warm~

Let’s start looking at the pictures

The captain caught a cold last night. He looks good today after taking fluids at the clinic.

It’s a very hearty breakfast.

As soon as I come out, I have to climb a hill, and my body expresses my emotions.

I’ve only been riding for a while, and there’s a mountain rain coming in the distance, so hurry up and put on some clothes.

We’ve just arrived at Zheduotang, and the shy guy’s expression is already very sad.

You can always meet all kinds of people on the Sichuan-Tibet line

For example, this brother is also very good. He has never ridden a bicycle before, but he came here just for the 318. He bought a 200-yuan bicycle in Chengdu and hit the road. He didn't bring many things with him, and his helmet was still a construction site helmet. But he was very optimistic. If he could ride, he would ride as much as possible, and if he couldn't, he would take a ride. Later, when going downhill, Mouse said he had no gloves, so he put on two plastic bags, but it was freezing. I don’t know if he rode to Lhasa later.

After resting, continue climbing, woo woo woo...

In fact, no matter how miserable the uphill climb is, the downhill slope is as exciting as it is. Sichuan-Tibet is carried out during daily climbs and downhills.

The team leader

Arrive at a false pass at 14:00. Have lunch and take a break to take photos.

Happy little Joe dancing

The style of painting is not right...

Okay, I sent it, coding is more meaningful than not coding

   

The most interesting thing about the plateau is the packaged food. The low air pressure from the outside makes them swell. We are particularly afraid of them popping up when we drink Coke and Sprite.

Continue to climb uphill and reach the real top of the mountain. Here is a picture of it.

In the previous article, someone left a message saying that the captain is good. Well, the photos taken by the captain are also good. Finally, I have a good scene


The following is still a crappy picture, I even edited it specially.

The altitude is over 4,000. It wasn’t cold while riding, but I was shivering as soon as I stopped, so I just checked in and went down the mountain. It was a great experience. The scenery behind is also more magnificent.

G318 starts in Shanghai and ends in Lhasa. The Sichuan-Tibet line is the most classic section of 318. Sichuan is steep and Tibet is magnificent.

Guess what I'm doing

Maritime Gang of Four

Finally, enjoy a wave of beautiful pictures with poor quality~



Day 6 Xinduqiao - Gaoersi Mountain (elevation 4412 meters) - Xiangke Zong, total mileage 514km

 

We are so lazy that we don’t hit the road until 9 o’clock.

Take a look at the beautiful scenery, the road behind is difficult.

The road condition is not good, the road is under construction, it looks like a washboard. A car passed by, blowing up clouds of dust, which made my lungs black.

Push carts and hitchhiking are common here. I insist on riding up every slope by myself

A couple fell exhausted on the roadside, silently feeling sorry for them and wishing them good luck.

Wow, it’s so beautiful, it feels like I’m riding up to the sky! Mouse, take a picture of me! What are you taking pictures of?

From now on, we will have to go through the mountains like this every day, and we will be lingering for so long.

Real earth-eating life

 

There are no photos of people who ride too fast~ hahaha

Looking at the King of Shu Mountain - Gongga?

The road book said that you could see Zheduo Mountain the day before. I took this photo on Gaoer Temple Road, so I’m not sure if it is.

Successfully rode up Gaoersi Mountain with an altitude of 4416m.

At the top of the Gaoer Temple, the mouse even led me to the horse for a photo! So handsome, the picture is lost!

There's me in the sunglasses

The alpine meadows are very comfortable~ I’m used to taking a nap after reaching the top~

But don’t sleep for too long, otherwise the brain will be starved of oxygen.

One of the dangers in Sichuan and Tibet is bike bandits, who often rob cyclists, and some even take away their bikes.

Beware of car robbers

Everyone, look! Riding towards us was today’s champion—MR. Joe!

Gray all the way Dust reaches Yajiang River

After arriving at Yajiang, we rode for another 3 hours.

Mouse’s reason was that it was still early and he would ride less for tomorrow!

In order to ride faster, we contacted the young man at Xiangkezong Inn and asked him to take away the backpack in advance.

I don't trust rats anymore! People were quick to carry their luggage down, but we rode slowly. It was another 3 hours of night driving to get to Xiangkezong.

 

The picture below was taken on 2013.7.26 19:26

This is the path after Yajiang. Very classic photo. When I was riding, it felt flat. Why was I so tired? When I looked back, I realized it was a hill! Cyclists call this kind of slope a "gentle uphill slope." It looks like a flat road from the front, but in fact it is the most grueling ride.

The five of us were tricked by a rat into riding this road. We only met one riding friend on the road. That buddy was also blown away by this road, so he took an S-shaped route to ride, but he still couldn't ride me. Hey hey hey~

Xiang Kezong arrived at around ten o'clock at night and moved into a Tibetan mansion!

You see, as an ordinary girl, I can persevere, but those guys who are hitchhiking, how can you be so embarrassed?

 

This house is stunning! Beautiful pictures at the end!

To sum up, I have become a woman, no, a man, on the Sichuan-Tibet Line. Easy climbing is nothing, even traveling at night!

Good night everyone~
