The first challenge on the Sichuan-Tibet route, over Erlang Mountain

From Xingu to Luding, we have to go over Erlang Mountain, which is the first challenge on the Sichuan-Tibet route that is more impactful to the mind.

In the new ditch, the riders talk about Erlang Mountain, said it is high and steep, the climate is unpredictable, as if the ride through the Erlang Mountain, the Sichuan-Tibet route and then no dangerous pass to go. So, we are all eager and determined to ride on Erlang Mountain to lay down the confidence to win any challenge afterward!

Out of the new ditch, will ride on the journey to climb Erlang Mountain. The mountain streams are murmuring, the bridges are heavy, the peaks are green and the valleys are quiet, the smoke and the mist are clear. Although it is the first time to encounter a 20 kilometers of large uphill, but also not in a hurry to reach the top, encountered the scenery strange place, will be stationed in the car to take pictures, both to achieve the purpose of the rest, but also can be tasted carefully.

It is said that the mountain is to be viewed from afar, and the water is to be played close to the heart. Although in the mountains and the distant view is not edge, but the water noise can be moist heart through the soul. Sichuan-Tibet line, is the majestic mountains and water **** play natural symphonic poem of the stage, through which, why not soundly enjoy some of it?

Tired? The answer is yes. However, you always have to understand that you are not purely to ride, but only through the ride to let yourself also become a note, to participate in the mountains and water **** play in the performance of the symphony of nature, so, never because to fight what speed, and the soul of the exhaustion on the way, so as to maintain the freshness of the note, can keep up with the rhythm of the symphony of nature!

7:00 a.m. from the new ditch, when we left, we learned that the heart of the travel alliance hostel free luggage transport to the next stop Luding, we only carry a raincoat and rain pants, lightly loaded doubly easy, 12:00 noon or so they rode to the Erlang Mountain Tunnel at the entrance, where a large group of joyful riders, men and women, young and old, all in their own way, to express the victory over the Erlang Mountain of the quickness. Riders have seized the favorable terrain, taking pictures of the Erlangshan Tunnel. Some riders, also sang: "two ah Erlang Mountain, high ah ah ah high ten thousand zhang ......"

Oh, if we all know the Erlang Mountain is just a most inconspicuous mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet route, because of its altitude is only 2,199 meters, we will still be so excited? The second is that the first is the first to be used as a base, and the second is the first to be used as a base, and the third is the first to be used as a base, and the third is the first to be used as a base.

An old man on the spot commanded that the ride through the Erlang Mountain tunnel all the way downhill, the temperature will be relatively low, we recommend that you put on a raincoat and rain pants, so we have to put on a raincoat and rain pants, and so on the old man's order, the fish in the tunnel.

Through the Erlangshan Tunnel, the temperature is not low, downhill is not cold, we took off the rain jacket and pants. I stood in one of the best viewpoints of Erlang Mountain, looking around, the mountains, peaks and mountains smoke; clouds across the sky, the road wrapped around the cliffs and rocks; overlooking the valley, the Dadu River into the eyes, meandering, like a gnarled dragon, swimming and playing in the sky and the earth between ......

Tiger Ming and I went all the way down the slope and rode directly to Luding County, arriving at the Luding The heart of the travelers inn.

The time is still early, the cold seems to be a bit serious, so I bought a box of Sensations, after drinking the medicine, and Hu Ming hiking tour Luding County. The river is a very large river, and the river is a very large river, and the river is a very large river.

Arrive at Luding Bridge, an iron cable bridge built in the Qing Dynasty that spans both sides of the Dadu River. During the Red Army's Long March, the flight over the Luding Bridge to get rid of the enemy's siege is called a miracle in the history of war.

On the Luding Bridge to visit, got 10 yuan ticket, many riders waiting in line, on the Luding Bridge, walking and pondering the fearlessness of the forefathers to give up their lives and cherish the hard-won happiness.

Luding Bridge on the other side of the river seems to be a place of revolutionary education, a Red Army soldier's head stands at the foot of the mountain.

On one side of Luding Bridge is a large square where many people are dancing Tibetan potshang in a big circle, and some tourists are also following the dance, but their movements are clumsy and make people laugh.

Back to the accommodation, the Guizhou girl I met in Xingu was the last one to ride to Luding, and she had no energy to go shopping, so we had dinner together, just like yesterday.

Tonight's Luding Heart Traveler Inn, very lively, more than 20 riders talking and laughing, the sound of people, very late to sleep.
