Body and soul, there is always one on the way! This time is different, body and soul meet on the road! By chance, the three rookies, Ling and Jun, were squeezed into a professional off-road e-family team. Following three four-wheel drive vehicles, four off-road drivers experienced an 8-day open-air trip! It has been a long time since I returned to the peaceful and leisurely days, but the thoughts in my mind are always roaring like a roller coaster!
The astonishment in heaven, the torment in hell, the horror at the edge of the cliff, the uncertainty of the long road ahead, the sudden enlightenment when the haze is swept away from the heights, after the iron men have successfully arrived after going through all kinds of hardships. The heroic joy of the story, and the complacency of the three rookies being successfully traversed… page by page, article by article, let me finally understand what an unforgettable picture scroll is!
Someone once said: “Bingchacha” line is the most dangerous route to Tibet. To paraphrase a donkey friend: a road that is not a road. On the left is the surging Nujiang River and cliffs, on the right are steep cliffs and rolling rocks. The so-called road with rugged sand, mud pits, and rocks. Bingchacha is not a place name, it is a combination of Bingzhongluo + Chawalong + Zayu, with a total length of 305 kilometers. The conventional crossing route is from Yunnan to Tibet, and Bingchacha is completed from Bingzhongluo to the extreme challenge of 305 kilometers.
Here comes the important point, the plan of the cross-country triathletes this time is to “do the opposite”-reverse penetration Bichacha! Our route plan is as follows: Zigong – Luhuo – Manigange – Dege – Qamdo – Ranwu – Zayu – Chavalong – Bingzhongluo – Gongshan – Lushui – Dali – Kunming – Zigong. Among them, the most anticipated section of the road is the 305-kilometer-long Chachabing. During this period, three snow-capped mountains with an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters have to be crossed. There are countless flying stones, potholes, and ice and snow sections!
Due to the collapse of the Bingzhongluo Observation Deck a while ago, the road was broken, so the cross-travel expert Pikage made a safe plan as shown above: after crossing to Bingzhongluo, if the road fails, take Zuogong and return to Kangding via National Highway 318, and return to Sichuan via Xindu Bridge ; If the road is open, go through Bingzhongluo, go down the Nujiang Gorge, pass Gongshan, Lushui, Dali, Kunming and return to Zigong! Of course, the result is that the awesome plan has come true! The hero’s true colors are revealed! And a few of us rookies also automatically evolved into brave heroes in the process! (No more courage!) Without “Bingchacha”, your life is just as complete; however, with “Bingchacha”, your life will be more exciting!
Positive: those mounts (our Hummer heroes)
With excellent demeanor and high spirits, here we come!
After passing through those roads, those mountains, and the mud…
Tall, rich and handsome are completely reduced to short and poor
However, those roads still exist so charmingly, affecting the courage and determination of the conquerors in the distance!
Although the journey of the Sichuan-Tibet line in the past few days was thrilling and high-reverse, it was still under control. After entering the Yunnan-Tibet line, along the Nujiang River, on the famous beautiful highway, we were challenged to the extreme!
From Gongshan to Lushui, due to the construction of the beautiful road along the Nujiang River, it was raining again, and the road became muddy. I watched the heavy-duty large-scale engineering vehicle writhing with difficulty in the mud, and I was very scared, afraid that it would come. Accidentally slipped and fell on us! Due to construction needs, traffic control is enforced at any time, and there are still many vehicles passing by. Everyone can only stumble, stop and go, and drive for more than 200 kilometers for 14 hours! Everyone didn’t have a mouthful of hot rice for a whole day. If they wanted to get out of the car, they could only step into the mud, otherwise they would hold back. This is so sour!
After experiencing this road, there will be no more blocked roads and bad roads in my heart! Also, how important it is to have a stomach that is resistant to hunger and a large-capacity bladder when you are away from home! Fortunately, our cross-travelers have everything, and we must give it a thumbs up!
Those mountains On this road, I was led by iron men to cross n mountains. There should be more than ten snow-capped mountains. From the admiration and shock at the first sight to the last sigh of the spirit: the snow-capped mountains have already been seen! When you know that you have to really separate from it and you can no longer worship its magnificence and holiness, the reluctance and nostalgia are hard to say! At this time, you can only look at the photos over and over again! Langla Mountain, Yela Mountain, Demla Mountain, Yixiula Mountain, Changla Mountain, Xiongzhula Mountain… Hehe! The snow-capped mountains in Tibet can really pull, hold the eyes, hold the thoughts, hold the footsteps of the soul…
Mr. Chen from Chavalon told us that there was an avalanche in the mountains last night, and the road has already been cleared. For the two southern girls, avalanche is a word that is far away from us! But when I crossed the Yixiu La pass, in the heavy snow, in the continuous snow peaks, and in the snow wall that is as high as a person, I was terrified, and I really felt the avalanche’s eye!
However, fortunately, we have a group of iron men who are not afraid of the wind and snow, and the masts and sculls are wiped out in smoke while talking and laughing. It only took us more than six hours to successfully cross the three high-altitude snow mountains of Yixiula, Changla, and Xiongzhula, which are more than 4,000 meters high, and completed the crossing of Chacha! It can only be said that our cavalry is invincible in the face of mud, gravel, potholes and ice and snow roads!
After crossing the snow-capped mountains, they arrived at the Old Chen Ping’an Hotel in Chavalon. The iron men proudly pasted their team logo for the second time! (I came here from Yunnan two years ago, but unfortunately Luduan did not complete the crossing of Bingchacha) Looking at the “medals” all over the wall, my eyes were inexplicably red, and I felt a sense of admiration for off-roaders pregnancy! For their fearlessness! Their pride! For their slogan: Take the worst road and see the most beautiful scenery!
Those scenery, those flowers, the most beautiful scenery is on the way! The hell of this road is to meet the heaven in the eyes: the mysterious snow mountain, the pure blue sky, the empty grassland dotted with auspicious clouds, the Tibetan houses always facing the sun, standing tall and clear, and the white houses neatly arranged in front of the temple. The pagoda, the dazzling prayer flags under the sun, and the mani pile engraved with ancient mysterious symbols silently guard the quiet lakeside. The slowly flowing river on the plateau is like a melodious stave, and the leisurely yaks by the water are like smart notes. For a moment time seems to freeze, only the wonderful music flows in the heart!
It is the Alpine Rhododendron blooming quietly in the primeval forest, which makes me cherish and nostalgia. The peerless and independent figure, the unrecognizable bearing in the deep mountains, is outstanding and detached! There is also the cacti growing on the dry cliffs of Chavalon. The arrogance and tenacity of the cacti, just one glance, can awaken your blood that is no longer sprayed in the comfortable world and the armed forces that have long since discarded their armor!
If the Xuefeng Cliff is an admirable tough guy in the snowy region, then Zayu Xiaojiangnan is the beautiful Dolma who is admirable! The Peach Blossom Village, which looks like a fairy house, and the Qingshui River with gurgling clear water, reveal the softness and gracefulness of girls everywhere! Rigidity and softness, safflower and green leaves are complete! The top of a thousand mountains, the source of thousands of waters, if you can meet them in this life, you will have no regrets!
Those people, those things, those feelings… These three masters are the iron man combination that led us to successfully pass through Bingchacha: Brother Pika, Shuai Tian and Erdan! Heroes in our rookie hearts! They belong to the cross-country E family Zigong team members, and they all have their own famous bullish numbers! (There are pictures and truth)
Brother Ka, a man of righteousness, kindness, and true temperament! He took us along this journey, and the difficult journey of more than 3,800 kilometers was easily handled by one person. I just want to say: Brother, please accept my knees! The rookies talked a lot of layman’s terms along the way, asked a lot of idiot questions, and made a lot of jokes. Ka Ge would sometimes make fun of us, and more often he would popularize some road and field knowledge for us, and remind us to see the scenery in time , For example, look, there is a pika on the right, and there is the observation platform of the first bay of Nujiang River, look, Alpine Rhododendron!
Ling and I always ask in surprise: Brother Ka, aren’t you driving? How can it be more powerful than our three pairs of idle eyes? Why! It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it! Ka Ge’s outdoor rescue spirit and rescue ability also impressed us. On the 317 line, we encountered a car parked on the side of the road with thick smoke coming from the hood. Several Tibetan men stood in front of the car and did not dare to approach. Seeming to be at a loss, Ka Ge made a decisive decision and immediately parked our own car in an open area, accurately found the fire extinguisher from the trunk full of luggage and sundries, ran to the opponent’s car in a few steps, and sprayed it into the gap of the hood. Bubbles, and then quickly stepped back to observe, and waited for the thick smoke to disperse and the danger identified by everyone was lifted before we left!
Faced with our sincere admiration and praise, Ka Ge just said calmly: When you are away from home, if you encounter difficulties with others, help if you can! Brother Gengzhi, I’m going to give my knee again! When camping by the Qingshui River, our straight brother turned into a hot boy again! From the time of departure, Ka Ge told us that other cars have prepared stoves and pressure cookers. He also brought lettuce and cucumbers. Several uncles have been discussing cooking and eating on the intercom, such as pressing a pot of beef or a pot of local chicken soup. Wait, we are all drooling, but! The imagination is full, the reality is very skinny, the real picture is… (please refer to the video)
Tian Shuai and Erdan are absolute golden partners! One is fat and the other is thin. Shuai Tian is cheerful, humorous, and decisive in dealing with things. The second is silent and resolute, easy-going and warm, and has excellent driving skills. It is said that he even won the championship in this cross-country season! It feels like they have one specialty in common: super artistic talent! I dare say: a driver who can’t take pictures or draw is not a good driver!
Along the way, the golden partner drove their 3.0T diesel four-wheel drive in front and took charge of the navigation. The walkie-talkie was mainly dominated by the handsome guy Tian, sometimes reporting the road conditions, giving directions, sometimes prompting and directing overtaking, and sometimes joking and humming Tiao Tiao, at first he felt that he was having a good time, but later found that it was more helpful to us newcomers. The nervousness of crossing dangerous roads and bad roads became easier unconsciously. They paid close attention to our car conditions on the way, and our They discovered the two tire leaks and dealt with them immediately! The power of a professional team calms down our uneasy hearts, and with trust, we have no fear in the future!
During this trip, there are two big brothers, one is the escape brother (returned to Zigong on the way), and the other is the lost phone brother (the Huawei mobile phone recently bought by the army is lost in Tibet). It may be me. I chatted in the car, originally I was going to bring a notebook (recording an unrequited love in high school) to be buried in the pure land of Tibet, to live up to my pure youth, but I forgot to take it when I left! In the midst of regret, I don’t want Jun to lose his mobile phone the next day. Did this deliberately bury the mobile phone in Tibet to match the plot? Jun was originally a very meticulous person, never lost any important items, and he took good care of everyone these days, helping Ling and me with luggage, buying breakfast for everyone, a proper warm man! Losing your mobile phone can only be said to be God’s will! However, if you lose something, you gain something. Because I don’t have a mobile phone to play with, I was able to comprehend such a poetic sentence as “In the days without a mobile phone, listen to the gurgling sound of running water”! Thanks to the good sisters! If it weren’t for her appointment, I would have missed this feast! A gentle, beautiful, and intelligent spirit, a spirit who loves and pursues beauty, freely and freely feels and listens to beauty in the mountains and rivers, so her beauty is also condensed into a moving pattern! On the bank of the Qingshui River, we met a group of Tibetan sisters who were traveling. They were enthusiastic and unrestrained, and had an amazing capacity for alcohol. We sang about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and played boxing games together. Ling also wore their Tibetan costumes and took many beautiful photos. One of them I particularly like, like a A Tibetan girl who is dressing up for marriage!
In this land with the purest heart, I would like to turn myself into a speck of dust, bow my body piously in the mountains, cleanse my soul in the melting water waves of snow mountains, and put this magnificent mountain and river in my heart. Man and nature are united. For one! God is the way, and the way is natural, Tathagata!
On this road, brave men come and go, some ride thousands of miles alone, some challenge together, some succeed and some fail, no matter which one, they are all off-road heroes in their hearts. The green hills are not old, and the feelings remain the same! 2019
