Daocheng · Seda Self-Driving Chronicle Tour · 008
Detailed itinerary
self-Driving Track
1, Seda County Luhuo: Start from Seda County and drive along National Highway G548, and then pass through Xuri Township for another 15 kilometers. You can see Jinyu Temple in Onda (the Baidu map is marked as Ji'e Temple). After passing through Seda Public Security Inspection Station, turn right along the G317 line for about 10 minutes, and you will turn to a section of earth and rocky road with poor road conditions, with a length of about 7 kilometers and a driving time of about 35 minutes. Then continue driving along G317 to Luhuo.
2, Luhuo- Xinlong County : Luhuo County is relatively prosperous, you can buy supplies here. After passing Luhuo County, continue to drive along the G317 line. You can see Kasha Lake through Chonggu Township. After driving 33 kilometers, go to provincial highway S217, pass through the Yalong River Grand Canyon, and arrive in Xinlong County after driving 96 kilometers.
3, the whole journey is 338 kilometers, and the driving time is 7 hours and 30 minutes.
On the fifth day of driving in western Sichuan, in addition to the difficulty of being angry when taking action, the discomfort of the altitude sickness has basically disappeared. However, I still habitually shake my head and feel whether my brain is hurting.
It was snowing at night. The small toothpicks got up at 6 o'clock and opened the curtains and started to worry. The car windows were frozen and there was a thin layer of snow on the road. We don't know if we could go on the road as planned.
originally wanted to leave Seda and go to Daocheng Yading .
Seda is 730 kilometers away from Aden, and it takes about 15 hours to drive, so halfway through, we have to stay in Xinlong for one night.
When planning the route earlier, the little toothpick questioned, it was a bit troublesome to walk like this. No matter where Seda and Daocheng go first, they have to go back. She wanted to go to Aden, I wanted to go to Seda. After a long debate, no one could convince anyone. Then I decided to go both of them, so I gave up on the Shangri-La that I have been to many times and still want to go again.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising and the snow was melting. We were ready to set off.
I put my luggage on the car, and then went to the small supermarket opposite to buy some biscuits and herbal tea and other supplies. Perhaps because of the bad weather, the cart carrying supplies could not pass, and it felt like the shelves were much empty than the previous day.
When checking out, the little toothpick asked the hotel people for directions. None of us really wanted to take the bad road of G317 after passing Luhuo the day before yesterday, so we searched for another route with Baidu Navigation in advance, and saw that we had gone a little bit, which was 2 hours more than the original schedule. We want to confirm whether that road is easy to walk on and whether it is worth the extra two hours of driving. The staff at the front desk of
glanced at the phone and said, "Don't go, I went to the mountains to catch birds yesterday. The road I walked was snowing there, which was even harder to walk. And there were no cars on that road. If there was something wrong on the road, it would not be easy to find someone to ask for help."
So, no matter what, we have to return to the road.
National Highway G548
When we arrived, we were trapped and the sun was dazzling. We didn’t even take a good look at it and walked along the way. On the morning of leaving, I had plenty of time anyway, so I stepped on the grassland that passed the Zhiqinggou Middle Bridge.
days are cloudy, and I don’t know what the snow-capped mountains are called. Anyway, from our direction, they are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the road in front of them is completely deserted, which makes them feel particularly vast. The snow on the grassland has not yet completely melted, and a group of yaks are eating grass in the distance, and there is also a white tower. Standing there at that time, I had a feeling: I should have stayed in Seda for a few days.
Travel is probably like this. The place you are thinking about going may not really make you feel happy; in the end, it is the place you accidentally encounter along the way, which becomes unforgettable.
Every trip, I always encounter a few places. I turned my head and glanced at it unintentionally, and then I started to and hit in my heart. So I stepped on the brakes and had to stop and take a good look.
But every time I come back to sort out the photos, I can’t tell where the few photos I took were once rammed and caught. At that time, maybe I was in a hurry to get on the road and I didn’t get there to explore its name carefully, but maybe my mark could not be found on the map.After I came back, it took so long that I couldn't find it. So most of them were classified into folders like "Along the road" and became countless charming fans.
, if you look at those places repeatedly through the photos, you always feel that it is not as beautiful as you did when you first met them. Then edit the picture, do the later stage, add filters and adjust the color, but it still doesn't work. No matter how high-end the camera is, it is far less exciting than the human eye.
Jinyu Temple
When driving on the bad road of G317 Luhuo, a white little Alto following behind kept honking the horn. We stopped the car and thought the other party wanted to overtake. As a result, a young Tibetan man got out of the car and walked to our car and asked in barely understandable Chinese: "Is there only this road?"
"Where are you going?"
"Where are you going?"
"There should be this road."
"There should be this road."
"There should be this road."
He was a little disappointed when he heard this. He looked at his Alto, probably because he was worried that he could not drive. But there was nothing I could do, and I frowned and returned to my car.
On the western Sichuan line, in addition to the domineering Toyota Off-Road, small Alto, vans and motorcycles that usually take two or three people and ride huge luggage are the most common. The driving is basically locals, familiar with the road conditions and the winding roads are free to move. There are also local women taking a ride along the way. They usually have two or three people, carrying baskets on their backs and carrying a lot of things in their hands. When they walk on the national highway and provincial road, they raise their hands to take the car when they see a car coming; if they don’t have a car, they walk.

and starts to change the weather. This is the case in the plateau area, with mountains turning and the weather changing. The sun was shining brightly just now, but after two turns, it started to rain. Anyway, the glass water pipe in our car is also broken, so it will save the small toothpicks from spilling tap water on the car window manually.
Since we got on provincial highway S217, there is a Pajero following us all the way, always maintaining a distance of 100 meters. We walk and walk, and we stop and stop.
Little toothpick guessed: "Do you ask us to explore the way and help them try if there are any rocks falling in front?"
It is normal for her to think so, because it rains, the road is difficult to walk on the ground, and there are rocks falling on the ground. Occasionally, there are small stones in groups of three or three to jump down from the mountain. There will be dozens of meters of water-destroying sections of roads that are several kilometers apart. The road is really difficult to walk.
Later, I was really unhappy and felt distressed. I happened to encounter a very open place. We parked the car and drank water and ate. Actually, I was a little anxious to pee, but Pajero stopped behind and was really embarrassed to just pull the car door and urinate.
We were hoping that they would leave quickly, and probably they also hoped that we would leave quickly. After about ten minutes of stalemate, Pajero finally started the fire and drove to our car. He shook the window down and found that they were two uncles about 60 years old.
One of them asked, "Why don't you go?"
"Stay for a while, take a break."
"This is going toward the new dragon."
"Yes, that's right."
"You are going to the new dragon too?"
"You are going to the new dragon too?"
Seeing that the uncle was not dangerous, I decided to tell the truth: "Yes, we go to the new dragon too."
"Can we go together? We don't know the way. We are also going to the new dragon. Can we follow your car?"
"You drive your phone and just follow 217, that's right."
"We won't use that thing." The uncle was a little embarrassed.
finally took out his phone and showed the uncles the way, but still didn't go with them. The main reason is that people have three urgent needs, we have to pee.
Anyone who drives his own way must have experienced it. Of course, it is much easier for men, and you can do it by finding a place. Every woman's family is in trouble. National Highways and Provincial Highways are not as good as highways, and they have no service areas or toilets, but they are not considered wilderness, and cars come and go frequently. If you are seen, you will still be shy. What to do with
? You definitely can't hold it in. If you drive more often, you will have experience.Once the front and rear doors on the right are opened, a covert and enclosed space is formed. People squat in the middle of the two doors. No matter which angle they look, they are not easily discovered. There is really no way to do this.
Kasha Lake
Arrived at the Yalong River Grand Canyon and it started raining again. When I was chartered on the Suhua Highway in Taiwan two years ago, the driver told us that when walking in a zone with frequent fallen rocks, first look at the trees on the mountain. If the trees move, it means that there are falling rocks and you have to avoid them as soon as possible.
So I drove, and the small toothpick looked at the tree. There was a distance, and the tree really moved. We stopped the car and watched the gravel fall down. After waiting for a while, the tree stopped moving and dared to drive over.

After driving, he breathed a sigh, and the little toothpick began to sigh again: "Two weak women are not easy."
In recent years, he and the little toothpick were playing self-driving at home and abroad. Every time he met someone on the road, he would always be asked, "You two girls are driving?" He received our confirmed answer, and people would kindly remind him, "Be careful on the road."
In fact, I have encountered many difficult things all the way through the years, and they were all sad at that time. Once I overcome the difficulties and think about it, I feel that it is not very difficult, and there is always someone to help. It probably has something to do with our personality: we are brave, have a big heart, and have two people.
arrived in Xinlong County at exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. There seemed to be only two hotels in the city. The hotel we booked was called Zhanwei Culture Hotel. There was only a girl watching the store and directed us to park our car in a parking lot opposite the hotel that looked like a quarry, which cost 20 yuan to spend the night.

Xinlong County is too deserted. It is estimated that there are no famous landmarks around, so there are not many passers-by. Only those who come and go to Seda and Daocheng will settle here.
Xinlong County
Hotel is backed by a river. When you open the window, you can hear the sound of water. When we came, they had been out of the internet in the county for several days. After checking in, I was not interested in going out for food again, so I stayed in the room to eat biscuits and drink herbal tea.

I am really not used to the time without the internet, so I opened my laptop and flipped through the photos randomly, and turned on the TV to watch a reality show called " Longing for Life ".
Teacher Huang Lei was talking in it: I always think that people should live in their own era...just live with their own era...
is wow, it's good. Just feel comfortable.
"I always felt that I was a driver in my previous life, so I loved driving so much..." I was muttering to the little toothpick, and I was sleepy without the company of the Internet. Just fell asleep.
