Riding a tiger by bicycle 8, 15000 km trip to Tibet from Shanghai to Chengdu.

I have always dreamed of going to Tibet and Xinjiang, the hinterland of the western part of the motherland, to have a look and take a walk! If you want to have this idea, you have to start from a few years ago. At that time, you watched a documentary about the great god riding in Xinjiang, Tibet and Xinjiang. Interested friends can go and search! At that time, I wanted to wait for the children to grow up, take them out to study more and enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland! But people are not as good as heaven. This trip on the road, which would have taken several years to realize, has actually come true this year! As for why it can be realized in advance, it is of course influenced by the Qing Dynasty. The only regret is that my wife and children didn't go together. I went by car alone, but it was okay. I'll explore the route first and run together two years later! Because this trip is very long and picturesque, I have to write several pages!

I'll send you all the itinerary first, so the itinerary time is relatively long, and 30 days in Gaode is not enough, so there are two pictures. The basic route is basically the same as what I sent before. First from Shanghai to Chengdu, then from 3 18 to Tibet, from 109 to Qinghai, and from 3 15 to Ruoqiang, Xinjiang. Because the Dooku highway was opened late this year, it was not completed.

This time, the ring road is 15000 kilometers long. There are two ways to leave Xinjiang. One is the Volkswagen route G30 Lianhuo Expressway, but it takes the G7. There are many vehicles on Lianhuo Expressway, so I didn't choose. Besides, I passed Datong by G7, and some friends stopped by to have a look. Finally, I chose G7! In fact, there are still many rural roads and county roads that are not reflected in the road book. It is estimated that at least another 500 kilometers is the real journey!

Let's take a photo of Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County and Jincaotan Scenic Spot in Pamirs, a small border town of the motherland! China-Pakistan border, Hongqilapu port is in this county!

Let's talk about preparations first. Because the company is engaged in foreign trade, it has been on holiday at the end of April due to the influence of Yiqing. It's no fun to brush Tik Tok on holiday. Seeing that many people are preparing to enter Tibet, my mood is surging again! The dream of a few years ago rekindled! I used to like to travel to road trip and go out to play everywhere, so the shooting equipment is basically complete, including SLR, sports camera, drone, tripod, pan-tilt stabilizer and so on! Therefore, you only need to buy things that need attention when you enter Tibet, and you have also seen various raiders! I bought three cans of oxygen cylinders, although it was useless later. I've prepared some cold medicine, headache powder. I have loose bowels. Of course, dry food is indispensable, water and instant noodles! At this time, in line with the idea of saving, going to road trip can basically save the province, which is also a poor tour!

My own car, the car is 18 manual premium version of tiggo 8, displacement 1.5 EFI. The size of the car body is ok, and there is enough space for one person to go out by car. Just look at the picture behind!

I like driving around, and I don't need a car for work. Basically, my trip is all around! The journey before this trip was just over 20 thousand, and it was almost 40 thousand when I came back! Remember that I am still in vain at this time. I'm so sunburned when I go out ~ ~

The equipment I brought on this trip is all accumulated in recent years, and it is not advanced equipment. Go out and play, just record the video! Many delays and selfies on the road are realized through these devices! Don't ask me why I bring a walkie-talkie alone, you will know on the way!

The car is big enough. I just need to put down the double-row seats in the back. I am 178, and I can lie down completely! Things are in the front and back seats. Because of the high altitude of the Sichuan-Tibet line, several beds were brought with the quilt. Actually, you don't need a sleeping bag to bring enough quilts. Even if it snows outside, it's not cold inside!

Three bottles of oxygen bottles, it is useless to endure when the reaction is high! It is said that it will be addictive. In fact, a little rebellious passed!

I didn't open the medicine I brought. A few weeks before departure, I said I would take medicine like rhodiola, but I didn't take it, just in case!

With this bucket, there is enough water to wash when it is inconvenient outside!

Simply prepared some food, self-heated rice, instant noodles, ham, a person does not want to bring any pots and pans, stoves, too much trouble, forget where to go, and bring energy on the emergency road!

The car bought online has arrived. It's time to go. In fact, I didn't even want to go to Xinjiang when I set out. I thought it was over! At that time, the epidemic prevention in Xinjiang was very strict, and no one could guarantee to go in. On the contrary, according to the online statement, Tibet is not so strict. I will talk about this later!

On the afternoon of May 1 1, we officially set off. Everything is packed. Let's fill it up! In line with the meaning of recording expenses, every expenditure is recorded, including refueling, eating and shopping, taking the high-speed journey, etc., and come back to settle accounts!

At this time, the mileage is about 23,000, and it is filled with oil. The first tank of oil is less than 700 kilometers and I want to run to the border of Anhui and Hubei, so I won't go! It's better to be cautious. At that time, it was no longer a matter of inland areas, but I was still very concerned about Tibet and Xinjiang!

Sinopec No.92 gasoline is 5.47 liters, plus 135 yuan! The tank of the car itself is not too big, 5 1 liter. If you save driving, it is not a big problem to run 700 kilometers at high speed!

All the way to the expressway, passing by Gehu service area!

Maanshan Yangtze River Bridge!

G42 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway transfers from Hubei to Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway and goes straight to Chengdu. The car needs maintenance!

1 1 Arrive at Tiantangzhai service area in Jinzhai, Lu 'an at 7: 00 pm. I had a rest and wanted to get off the highway and eat something below before refueling. Generally, I don't want to eat in the service area, but I want to get off the expressway and eat in the towns around the national highway or expressway. First, expressway is not delicious; second, it is a little expensive!

Get off the highway to eat!

Anhui Jinzhai Dingbu Expressway enters Dabie Mountain area, drive carefully at night!

I was resurrected by oil and blood, but I couldn't find a place to eat. It's too remote and mountainous there!

Go back to G42 expressway and continue driving. Changlingguan service area, the last service area from Anhui to Hubei, will rest here tonight. This service area is quite large, much better than the Tiantangzhai in front!

Pick up the water and put it in the car!

Instant noodles, ham, steamed bread and cucumber dipped in soy sauce!

Ok, let's rest here tonight, and sleep for the first night!

I hit the road early the next morning. Today, I want to cross Hubei. It's a little far. I didn't notice how much I ran. Later, when I sorted out the photos, I found that I ran a lot. I admire myself for going from Changlingguan service area in Anhui to Yingshan service area in Nanchong, Sichuan, 1009 km, haha!

12 Continue to set off early in the morning and enjoy the scenery in the mountains along the way. As a northerner, I have never seen so many mountains since I was a child. This time, it is enough eye addiction!

I wore too much on the way to the tunnel. The basic speed limit is 80. Drive carefully, safety first!

Arrive at Enshi Badong service area, have a rest, and say that the scenery here is also good, with blue sky and white clouds and high mountains!

Punch in! Punch in Enshi Badong Service Area!

Chongqing Wushan service area, rest again!

Behind the service area!

If you are hungry, stop to have a rest and eat self-heating rice. To be honest, it's really not delicious. Just fill your stomach!

Pass by Chongqing Wanzhou service area!

The self-heating meal just now was not delicious, and it got off the highway again. Find some local snacks!

The fried noodles here are thin and a little spicy!

Five dollars a night on both sides, sour and sweet, delicious!

After eating well, continue to drive on expressway. Today you can feel Sichuan, and tomorrow you can go to Chengdu 4S shop to maintain your car!

The service area along the way is very good, and there is a place to take a bath. After taking a shower, I will live here tonight!

I stayed here tonight to wash clothes!

I stayed here tonight to wash clothes!

13 woke up after 6 o'clock in the morning, and the closer to 3 18, the more excited it is!

I went straight to the 4S store. Only after the car maintenance inspection, can I go to Sichuan and Tibet 3 18 with more confidence. Actually, I didn't bring any vehicle tools, such as an air pump, a tow rope and tire repair tools ~ ~ ~

Line up for maintenance!

Take a picture as a souvenir, I guess I will never come again!

Check the chassis and tighten the screws!

Check the tires

After the maintenance, I didn't get on the expressway directly, but went down for a while. I refueled from here and got on the expressway. The first stop was Luding. Ya 'an didn't stop!

1 1 Leave in the afternoon, 13 arrive in Luding in the afternoon. The speed is ok!

Luding Bridge!

Update here today. From now on, Sichuan-Tibet 3 18 officially begins. I want to see all kinds of beautiful scenery in the future, so stay tuned! Believe me, the scenery behind is more wonderful!
