This is the seventh time to go to Guangxi, instead of going to those well-known popular attractions, I chose some less crowded niche attractions.
The ancient village of Dongli, which is like a paradise in the world, is a place where you can see the mountains, see the water, and remember the nostalgia. Although the old town of Daxu is not as prosperous as it used to be, it has a long history and thick history of a kind of charm and certainty. Walking through the red stream known as China's first colorful stream, as if in the landscape painting.

Because of the rebound of the epidemic, the early end of the trip in Guangxi, but the journey of those wonderful days did not go far, it is like a book, read and close, collected in the bookshelf, when one day and then take out to open, happy and happy will be scattered all over the place.
In April, the 40-day tour around the border, Changsha - Guangxi Fangchenggang - Chongzuo - Baise - Yunnan Wenshan - Honghe - Pu'er - Nujiang -Linzhi, Tibet -Shannan -Rikaze -Ali -Hetian, Xinjiang -Kashgar -Kezhou -Kashi -Bayin'guol - Haixi, Qinghai - Yushu - Golog - Gansu - Shaanxi - Hubei - Changsha, the trip is 16300 kilometers.
It has always been a dream to travel around China's borders in one go. There are three national highways in China, and walking along them once is equivalent to traveling along the contours of China's land in a circle. They are 219, 331, 228 national highway. 2021 April 20, we embarked on a driving tour around the border of China's journey, then never thought it would be an unfinished trip.
Dongxing, Guangxi, the mountains and the sea connected to the landmark square, is China's land border line and the intersection of the coastline, we started from the zero kilometer along the border highway, from the sea to the mountain. Guangxi China-Vietnam border highway, code name S325, a total length of 725 kilometers, is now incorporated into the new national highway 219, most places and Vietnam across the mountains and water, less than a hundred meters from the nearest place to the national border, with the "Great Wall of the Sino-Vietnamese Border," the name.
Along the border highway, viewing the unique karst landscape, see the bamboo around the bank, dotted with farmhouses, one-tree bridges, rice swaying, farmers hoeing, shepherd children playing in the water, feel the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the water and the handsome and elegant idyllic scenery, a distinctive flavor. Even in the dry season, Asia's first and the world's second largest Detian Transnational Waterfalls, is still a beautiful mountain, the scenery is charming.
From Guangxi to Yunnan, traveling in the southwest border, there is always a kind of moving heart, for those who protect the country willing to spill the blood of the heroes. So specially went to the Farka Mountain, Shi Zhi Martyrs' Cemetery, Malipo Martyrs' Cemetery, Laoshan, to pay homage to the martyrs who died in the counterattack in self-defense against Vietnam.
Although in Yunnan encountered the border guards on the border line loaded with ammunition to stop the car check nervous, cell phone received foreign text messages, trip code yellow obstruction anxiety, because of the epidemic prevention and control was persuaded to return to the helpless, had to temporarily adjust the trip. But I still retraced my steps to Bengzhongluo, making up for the old Mdeng village and Zhizi Luo that I didn't get to last time, and my long-awaited Bengchaca.
The easy road from Bengzhongluo in Yunnan to Tsavalong in Tibet, commonly known as Bengtsa Tsa Tsa, is recognized as the eighth route into Tibet. It is the most dangerous of all the routes into Tibet, and the scenery is also the most primitive and beautiful. It combines the most beautiful and the most abusive two extreme adjectives in one, can be described as the eyes in heaven, the body in hell.
I went to Mutuo in my heart, Mutuo in the minds of Tibetan people is the religious believers pilgrimage to the "Lotus Sacred Land". To go to Mutuo is not easy, this is China's last highway county, the length of only 117 kilometers of the Zamo highway, is the world's most difficult to repair the highway, has built nearly 40 years, after five major repairs, countless small repairs, often repair broken, broken repaired ...... the world's most complex geologic structures on the highway, a rain and snow have It is possible to be trapped in the mountains for several days to several months. Now in and out of the Murdock are still take "double in single out" of the traffic measures.
The 318, the road condition is good, the car is also more, has not been ten years ago when I walked the thrill and excitement.
In "Tibet's first temple" known as the Sangye Temple, the first time to see the red, green, black and white four colors of the stupa. The first time I saw the red, green, black and white stupa, I saw the red, green, black and white stupa for the first time. Known as the "Maiden Lake" Pumo Yongtso, half of the lake blue and clear, half of the ice and snow has not yet melted, the beauty of the serenity, to enjoy this pure heaven and earth, the heart is greatly satisfied. In Tibet, many of the lakes, Peiku Tso is not famous, but in this treasure gourd shape of the lake can see the reflection of the Xixiabangma Peak, there is a reason for people to go to the station.
It is said that west of Tibet, is the real Tibet, there is the secret of Tibetan west, heavenly Ali, not to Ali, not really to Tibet. Here there is the world's center of the sacred mountain Gangrenbozi, one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet, the Marbunyongtso, "ghost lake" Laon Tso, known as "China's only, the world's typical" of the Zada Tulin, so far are a lost ruins of the Guge Kingdom, the East and West salty international sex! Lake Bangkung Lake ......
Walking in Ali, the eye are vast and sprawling wilderness and snow-capped lakes, every snow-capped mountain, have their own legends; every lake, have their own stories.
In Tibet, we encountered a variety of weather: sunny, windy, sandy, thunder, rain, snow and hail, but also in the Grand Canyon of the primitive forests in the road, by the impact of the epidemic, Guangxi, Yunnan border crossing are all closed, but also in front of the door card to take pictures, and in Tibet, from the border crossing is very far away from the blocked, card are hopeless. Even so, we still insisted on walking.
When we arrived at Yecheng in Xinjiang, we marked the end of the New Tibet Route. The New Tibet Line is one of the most treacherous highways in the world. This has let a team of death of the sky road, so how many people hear its name and smell the wind. It passes through most sections of no man's land. With an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters, it is the world's highest altitude, the most dangerous road, the road condition is extremely poor and the environment is the most harsh plateau highway. Difficulties such as climate change, high cold and lack of oxygen, avalanches and landslides, alpine reaction, and wind and shelter have exceeded the normal tolerance limit of many people. This road, desolate and beautiful scenery.
Not to Kashgar, not to Xinjiang; not to the ancient city, not to Kashgar. The ancient city of Ker is my favorite place, full of exotic flavors, with a strong fireworks. The singing and dancing men and women, sunbathing in the sun of the elderly, chasing and playing children, all let me feel friendly and warm. Although it is the second time to come, but still let me linger.
On the way to the west pole of China, Wuqia was again stopped and persuaded to return, in view of the epidemic tends to be serious, all the border areas and ports can not go to, the trip around the border is incomplete, and with our original intention is far from the point, but also lost the meaning, only to bear the pain of discontinuing the trip around the border.
Although I was not able to continue traveling around the border, I was still pleasantly surprised on the way back. In Qinghai, the "Devil's Eye" Aiken Spring, giving people an unspeakable sense of shock. The "mirror of the sky" Mangya Emerald Lake, such as the Gobi Jade pure beauty and transparency. No man's land encountered sandstorms, the feeling is wonderful. Mars highway, "the most Mars-like place on earth", the desolate scene gives birth to many feelings.

"The ancestor of the mountains" Kunlun Mountain, cultural history is far-reaching. Yushu Jiegu Temple architectural grandeur; ** Princess Temple is a symbol of unity between Tibet and China; Jiana Mani Stone Scripture City, Guinness certification of the world's largest Mani pile, magnificent, breathtaking.
Passing through the Tibetan area, countless monasteries, the number of its large, large-scale, architectural beauty, once again subverted my perception.
The whole 40 days of travel, the whole national highway, to 14 ports of entry, through 201 checkpoints, do 3 times the nucleic acid check. It was a tough trip and an unforgettable one. Although because of the impact of the epidemic, did not complete this trip around the border tour, but I once walked through the Propacha, Mutuo, the new Tibetan line, to realize the long-desired dream, but also a small sense of achievement.
