Western Sichuan Grand Ring Tour | Day 1: Chengdu-Aba, from summer to winter

DAY 1

○ Sneaker novice

In the early morning of August 5, 16 people on the donkey road met with 4 Danba drivers. The drivers presented yellow hadas to the passengers, officially starting the 10-day tour of the Western Sichuan Grand Ring.

Little knowledge about Hada: Hada is divided into white and five-color hada. White means purity and nobility; while five-color hada is mostly given by Tibetans to relatives and friends. The five colors are: yellow, white, red, blue, green. Yellow hada Mostly used in festive festivals and events.

The original itinerary of "People on the Donkey Road Western Sichuan Grand Ring Tour" is as follows:

Last completed trip:

The whole journey is 1944.86 kilometers and takes ten days. The track of people traveling west Sichuan in 2017 is retained in the outdoor APP.

Due to earthquakes, weather and other reasons, the final route was somewhat different from the original plan.

The driver of the pilot car, Banma, is an old friend of the team leader Ximen Xu Xiake. He has had several pleasant cooperation experiences, and this time is no exception. The four cars rented this time are all PRADOs with displacements between 2.6 and 4.0. It’s very impressive to say when lined up on a road less traveled!

Xiaobai, who is wearing sneakers, is sitting in the same car with Qi Bowl of Tea, Waiting for the Wind, and Zhao Wumian.

As soon as I got on the bus, I waited for the wind to come and asked the driver politely: "What's your last name?"

The driver hesitated and said, "Ah, my surname is Nan, Nanka."

The sneaker guy couldn't help but ask: "How do you write your full name?"

"Nanka Zelang."

When talking about Tibetan names, Nanka Zelan said that Tibetan people do not have surnames. Within a few hours after the child is born, he needs to go to a specific person to figure out the name, and whatever is calculated will be what he wants. If the child is born at a bad time, he should call him baby (probably the same as we call the child "dog leftover") and hope that the child will grow up safely.

After driving all day, we finally entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area. At this moment, the scenery of the plateau gradually came into our eyes: yaks, grasslands, mountains and rivers...

The higher the altitude, the lower the vegetation becomes, until it reaches a flat grassland.

The advantages of self-driving travel are reflected on the way. Whenever beautiful scenery appears, the convoy will stop. The members murdered the memory of their mobile phones while admiring the scenery of the plateau.

Now that we have arrived at the plateau, we should take all kinds of magical anti-hypertensive pills immediately. When the wind comes, Zhao Wumian prepares his own special anti-hypertensive pills and eats "beans" together in the car.

(For details on the true nature of small pills used to combat high fever, see: Knowledge Hall’s "How to Cope with High Reaction (Practice)")

If you don't pay attention, the sneaker boy caught by the high-reverse devil will...

Finally arrived in Aba County, Aba Prefecture in the evening. The hotel room he lived in was on the third floor and there was no elevator. This was the place where the sneaker guy was caught by the high-reverse devil for the first time. When I picked up two heavy hiking bags, one large and one small, and rushed to the third floor as usual, I immediately felt dizzy, my heart was beating like a drum, and my ears were ringing. I walked into the room, fell down on the bed, and quickly put my legs up against the head of the bed at a 90-degree angle to let the blood flow back to the brain and relieve the lack of oxygen supply to the brain , okay, two minutes The symptoms were significantly relieved afterward. (This is a trick used by sneaker novices when they exercise too much. It is also effective for temporary hypoxia caused by strenuous exercise.)

remember! Stay calm on the plateau! Calmness and slowness is the way to go!

The accommodation conditions in Aba County are better. The double-standard rooms have hot water for bathing and are cost-effective. We stayed in a standard room of 120 yuan.

Geographic Tips: Aba County is located on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at the intersection of the three provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai. It is an important transportation hub from the mainland to the northwest. The county seat is 3,290 meters above sea level. It has a semi-humid monsoon climate in the cold temperate zone of the plateau, with no obvious Divided into four seasons, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the solar radiation is strong, and the average annual temperature is 4°C. This evening, everyone is wearing fleece and jackets!

After going out for dinner, everyone returned to the room to have a good rest and look forward to the next day's trip to Nianbaoyuze.
