At the end of June, I drove myself to several scenic spots in Gannan Qingnan and western Sichuan to relax and take some photos.

While I'm at work, I'll briefly introduce the itinerary to everyone. First of all, let me explain that the departure point is Chengdu. I rented a 1.6-inch Lavida without a T from Shenzhou Express at Chengdu Airport. Why did I rent this? It's because it's cheap! It turns out that it is quite reliable (the oil pan at the back was blown out by me because the chassis was too low).

It was a six-day trip in total, which was quite intensive. (Rally driver) The shooting equipment is DJ MINI2 A7R4 16-35GM 24-70GM 24GM 100-400GM. The beautiful scenery in the itinerary will be uploaded in the form of thumbnail sharpening, and other photos will be saved using mobile phone photos or photos in Moments. Come down and upload it, the NGA image bed is too troublesome.

Day1: Chengdu-ZhaGana (distance nearly 700km)

Departs at 9am and arrives at 5:30pm. After arriving at Zhagana, go directly to the Dari Observation Deck to watch the sunset and shine on Jinshan Mountain. I have always longed for this scenic spot and have an inexplicable fascination with Stone Mountain. So this time we will make it the first starting point of our trip.

Last October, I was looking at the Gannan grassland across from the first bay of Jiuqu in the Yellow River. I have always longed for this place, and finally got my wish. When we arrived at the observation deck, the weather was still rainy. Well, I was only wearing a pair of shorts and short sleeves, which made me stand out among the crowd. Then something happened that moved me very much.

The day before departure, I purchased a DJMINI2 in a physical store because it was light and ready to be taken out for this trip. (This aircraft does not have obstacle avoidance). During my first flight, I automatically circled and hit a very tall tree. It was about 6:30 pm. The plane fell into a dense virgin forest 1.6 kilometers away. My heart felt cold at that time. This was just the beginning. Flying for the first time on the first day of the trip - -.

There were three Tibetan brothers who had been watching me fly the drone. After I fried chicken, they were very anxious when they saw me, so three of them volunteered to accompany me to find it. After driving and hiking and wading through a snowy mountain river (you could only cross it with shoes on and it was completely wet), it was already half past seven when we arrived at the woods. The sky was filled with red clouds, and I was so fucking surprised. Looking for a drone and wanting to give myself a slap in the face. It would have been nice to have paid more attention then.

As the primeval forest covered with dense branches became darker and darker, no trace of the drone was ever found. The three brothers and I were scratched to varying degrees by the branches. Finally, around 8:30, it was completely dark. It was dark and I had lost confidence. The Tibetan elder brother said he would look for it for a while. I told you, brother, stop looking for me. Thank you three for your hard work. I’ll treat you to dinner and drinks.

As soon as we walked out of the dense bush, the eldest brother looked up and saw the lights flashing on the tallest tree. No wonder we had never seen the drone on the ground. It turned out that it was on a tree ten meters high. In the end, the Tibetan brother climbed up a ten-meter-high tree and took down the drone. Afterwards, I expressed my willingness to pay the three eldest brothers some gratitude fees, or treat them to dinner and drinks. They were all rejected one by one. My heart was really touched at that time, I should be the most touched.


On the eve of the National Day on September 31 last year, I rushed from the Ngari area to stay in Tingri County at the foot of Mount Everest. I encountered a herd of yaks on the road near Shishapangma Peak. I failed to brake quickly and hit a calf's hind leg. At that time, I was The Tibetans surrounded us and finally contacted the village party secretary by dialing 110. After the village party secretary contacted the villagers, we were able to go to the nearby police station to handle the matter. The asking price was 10,000 and was eventually reduced to 6,000. Of course, the legs were still on the cow. So what I want to say is that I have seen the noblest orcs and the meanest humans. Don't generalize.
