▼On October 5, 2021, Chawalon-Bingzhongluo-Fugong, sunny to showery. Chawalon is 1,920 meters above sea level and has a subtropical climate. It only takes one day from cold winter to midsummer.
▼When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see when I open my eyes is clouds and mist swimming in the mountains, submerging the surrounding mountains and only revealing some faint outlines.
▼There is only one street in Tsavalong, the national highway. There are many breakfast stalls along the street. The diners are all in short-sleeved shorts.

Unfortunately, the heart was The teeth of the giant snake scratched it, and the blood it shed turned into cursed flying stones. Once there is any disturbance, they will fly out and harm pedestrians. Walkers who can successfully use this path will have good fortune and a safe life.
▼Waiting for bulldozer construction, the gravel road is about 100 meters long.
The bulldozer master waved for me to pass. The excavator left a step at least 30 centimeters high. It was visually impossible to pass through this situation. I tried to crash the car. I rushed the accelerator to the landslide area and reversed the car again. Dense gravel fell from a height of hundreds of meters, and the small The ones ordered are as big as eggs, and will break if hit casually.
I reversed the car on the right side, with the wheels in the air. The rubble pile of the landslide was loose. The motorcycle and I slid towards the Nu River along with the rubble. I couldn't react at all. I only had one thought at the time. I will tell you this in my life. Less than half a meter away from the Nu River, the rubble stopped. Move, get in the car and escape

▼Looking back at Tibet, I always thought about it in the past, but this time I just wanted to escape. Tibetan areas have undergone tremendous changes in the past three years. New high-rise urban areas have been built, and tourist public toilets and parking areas have been added. However, most public toilet doors are locked. During the special period, most of the tourists were reduced, and the price of gas and rice bowls also dropped a lot compared to the previous three years.
