King Sherry, who didn’t go to Northeast China with her during the summer vacation because she was taking care of her family, finally couldn’t help but say that she wanted to go out to play.

Where to go?

Chengdu.

Yes, I know your Majesty and I go to Chengdu all the time, but we have never actually been to Chengdu.

Every time I go back to Sichuan, I always pass by Chengdu; when I go back to Shanghai, I will probably pass by here, but I have never had the opportunity to take Wang to have fun. Only one summer, at the instigation of my sister, we had nothing to do in our hometown and went to Kuanzhai Alley and Taikoo Li for a walk.

Obviously, the king was somewhat dissatisfied.

Okay, now that the king has spoken, it must be satisfied.

The final result of the discussion was that Sherry would fly to Chengdu with his little friend on October 1st and play there for a few days. I would take the 318 National Highway back to Sichuan and pick them up in Chengdu on October 4th.

To be honest, this trip came a bit suddenly and unexpectedly. After all, I just came back from the Northeast, and I didn’t expect that the king would allow me to go out again.

As he said this, a wave of emotion surged out of his heart, and tears and runny noses were about to fall.

Moreover, I just took the Bull Demon King and modified it a few days ago. I raised the body, installed a winch and front and rear bumpers, added an auxiliary fuel tank, and installed AT tires. I was thinking of finding a chance to test the car.

Your Majesty understands me so well!

As the saying goes, my parents are the ones who raised me, and I am the king who knows me!

Talking about the route, why should we take National Highway 318?

Because I have an obsession in my heart, which is to complete the entire National Highway 318. Previously, the section from the 0km starting point of the People's Square Highway in Shanghai to Laibang Town in Yuexi County, Anhui has been traveled intermittently; the section from Luding, Sichuan to Dingri County, Tibet has also been traveled. Now, only Yuexi is left. Arrive at Luding and Tingri and end at Zhangmu Port in Nyalam County.

I want to finish the unfinished section east of Chengdu first this time.

But still, the route of National Highway 318 is really long. I found that it could not be completed in 4 days. In the end, I had to give up some more and planned the route as follows:

October 1: Shanghai – Wuhan Xinzhou District (Highway)

October 2: Xinzhou District – Yesanguan Town, Badong County, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province (G318)

October 3: Yesanguan Town – Wanzhou District, Chongqing (G318)

October 4: Wanzhou – Chengdu (Highway)

….

October 11: Wuhan Xinzhou – Laibang Town, Yuexi County (G318) – Shanghai (Highway)

In this way, I can complete the 318 National Highway from Shanghai to Wanzhou, Chongqing. Let’s find time to finish the remaining part slowly later.

You, the smart person, must be confused at this time: If you take National Highway 318, what does it have to do with the Qinling Mountains?

Hahahaha, you are really smart, I give you a thumbs up. Indeed, since it is Qinling Asking for Autumn, Qinling must be the protagonist, but that is what will happen when returning from his hometown.

Starting from Mianzhu, I will first walk all the way to Hanzhong at high speed. Then, I will cross the Qinling Mountains from south to north along the magical National Highway 316 in the Qinling Mountains and stay overnight in Taibai County.

On the second day, if the weather permits, we will climb Taibai Mountain, the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains, and stay overnight in the Taibai Mountain Scenic Area; if the weather is bad, we will go directly to An County, Shangluo Town, Shaanxi Province, our destination on the third day.

On the third day, we first followed the Guanzhong Ring Road to another magical National Highway 108, then crossed half of the Qinling Mountains from north to south, and then took the secret path eastward across the Qinling Mountains to Zhenan County.

On the fourth day, we continued eastward across the Qinling Mountains, turned north at Zhongcun Town in Shanyang County, Shaanxi Province, and arrived at Luonan County in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains.

On the fifth day, continue eastward across the Qinling Mountains, completely exit the Qinling Mountains in Nanyang, Henan, and then stay overnight in Nanyang City.

On the sixth day, we started from Nanyang and took the high-speed road across the Nanyang Basin and entered the Dabie Mountains. Then we took the secret path through part of the Dabie Mountains and stayed overnight in Xinzhou District, Wuhan.

On the seventh day, we started from Xinzhou District and took National Highway 318 to Laibang Town in Yuexi County. We walked the last section of National Highway 318 and then returned to Shanghai at high speed.

Because my main interest lies in the Qinling Mountains, this trip was named "Qinling Mountains in Autumn".

Before setting off, my mind was completely occupied by the red mountains of the Qinling Mountains. In front of my eyes were the shining red leaves under the autumn sunshine, the branches swaying in the breeze, and the quiet and beautiful streams flowing in the mountains.

Autumn in the Qinling Mountains should be the most beautiful color in my land of China!

Qinling, here I come!

The Qinling Mountains in my mind look like this (the pictures are all from the Internet, thank you to the photographers who presented us with the beauty. If the author feels unwell, please contact me to delete it, thank you)

This is the planned route (just look at the red lines)
