2. Travel arrangements
Specific itinerary: D 1: all places-Chengdu
Recommended itinerary for the day: Go to Chengdu from all over the country, and then play in Chengdu.
Kuanzhai Lane, who lives in Chengdu, is known as the "most Chengdu" and is also the favorite place for tourists to hang around. This pedestrian street, which consists of wide lanes, narrow lanes and wells, is really an ancient street in the Qing Dynasty. Although there are many cafes, restaurants and shops now, you can still experience the leisure life in Chengdu, digging your ears, changing your face, drinking tea and playing with wine.
Look for the Three Kingdoms in Jinli and Wuhou Temple. Jinli is an antique commercial street and one of the most popular scenic spots in Chengdu. Here, you can appreciate the skills of squeezing clay figurines and wearing Tang Hua, and visit shops, shadow puppets, grass camps and chopsticks shops. With the characteristics of the Three Kingdoms, you can taste the famous Sichuan cuisine in the crowded "Delicious Street", as well as teahouses, cafes, bars and inns. At dusk, Jinli will light up, which is quite charming and suitable for taking pictures.
Next to Jinli is Wuhou Temple, which was built in 223 AD, when Liu Bei's Hui Ling was being built. It is the only temple in China where the monarch and ministers worship together. It is the most famous memorial site for heroes of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Shu Han, and the most influential museum of the Three Kingdoms in the world. The "red wall and bamboo shadow" in the depths of Chengdu's famous Jin officials is here.
D2: Chengdu Yikangding
Recommended itinerary for the day: drive from Chengdu to Ya 'an, get on the 3 18 National Highway at Xiayaxi Expressway, pass by Feixianguan Pass along Qingyi River, have lunch in Tianquan, then visit Luding County through the Lower Dadu River at Erlang Mountain, then drive to Kangding, and check into the hotel after dinner. The whole journey is about 460 kilometers. Erlang Mountain, which is high and dangerous, is the first mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet line from Chengdu Plain to Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. When the road-building troops built the steep section of Erlang Mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, seven soldiers gave their lives for every kilometer they walked. Erlang Mountain Road is dangerous, the original ecological environment is well protected, the mountains are beautiful and primitive, and the Panshan Highway is steep and spectacular. Erlang Mountain has been spread for a long time because of a vigorous and passionate song "Singing Erlang Mountain", which has aroused people's endless yearning and reverie. At the top of the mountain, you can see the wonders of Gongga Xuefeng in Mountain King.
Dadu River and Luding Bridge, the Dadu River meanders between Daxue Mountain, Xiaoxiangling Mountain and Jin Jia Mountain, Erlang Mountain and Daxiangling Mountain, and the terrain is steep, which once blocked the way forward of the Red Army. 1935 In May, after the glorious victory of Zunyi Conference and Zunyi Campaign with great historical significance, the main forces and military commission organs crossed Wumeng Mountain, skillfully crossed Jinsha River, and crossed Daliangshan District with the support and help of Yi people. The vanguard troops arrived here day and night at the speed of 160 Ali. The Kuomintang army dispatched troops and troops, and besieged and intercepted them. First of all, the Red Army successfully crossed the Anshun field, defeated all the enemies on the other side and occupied the ferry. The Red Army on both sides of the strait crossed the river, attacked Luding in the north, seized Luding Bridge and successfully crossed the Dadu River.
Kangding has more than one love song, and a Love Song of Kangding will be sung all over Kangding. Kangding, formerly known as "Arrow Furnace", is located at the foot of Paoma Mountain at the northern end of Gongga Mountain in western Sichuan. It is the capital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and an ancient plateau city with a long history. The ancient city is surrounded by mountains and two rivers on three sides, and many rivers pass through the city. All kinds of buildings with national style are scattered on both sides of the river.
Kangding is not only the hometown of love songs, but also the important town of tea-horse exchange and the birthplace of pot culture. Magnificent snow-capped mountains, clear lakes, verdant forests and green Yuan Ye, as well as fiery hot springs and ocean monsoon winding along the north-south Hengduan Mountains, make it full of rainfall and misty. Glaciers and forests are unique and beautiful landscapes in Kangding. Kangding is not only unique in scenery, but also a transit point for tourism in Ganzi Prefecture. When you have been to Kangding, there may be many things that make you forget the love song that made it famous.
D3: Kangding No.18 Hall
Recommended itinerary for the day: After breakfast, drive over the highest mountain in Tibet, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and then reach the photographer's paradise xinduqiao. In the afternoon, I crossed Mount Kazila to Litang, the Pearl City of the Plateau, and went to Huhaizi, the first sister of the Plateau, after entering Tibet. Arrive in Batang in the evening and check into the hotel after dinner.
Long Da at the mouth of Zheduo Mountain is praying. Zheduo Mountain is called "the first pass of Kangba" because it has become the first challenging peak on the Sichuan-Tibet line since the completion of Erlangshan Tunnel. In Tibet, there is a custom of spreading "Long Da" everywhere. Scattered "Long Da" fluttered in the air and was taken away by the breeze. Therefore, people also call "Long Da" a flying horse, or "Wind Horse" for short, and Salonda is also called a lookout horse. In Tibetan areas, every place has the custom of releasing "Long Da". When crossing the mountain pass, Tibetans will scatter Long Da and pray to the mountain gods for peace.
Xinduqiao xinduqiao, a photography paradise, is a small town on the Sichuan-Tibet line, which is located at the fork of the north-south line of the 3 18 national highway. Endless meadows, winding streams, golden autumn leaves, large groups of cattle and sheep grazing peacefully on the hillside, and several clusters of Tibetan villages scattered in the distance. This is xinduqiao, known as "photographer's paradise".
Typical Tibetan villages are scattered on both sides of the highway, surrounded by mountains and waters. The shallow river winds through the highway. On the roadside in front of the house stands tall and straight poplars, showing off their unique golden color in the sunset. Herds of yaks adorn the pastoral picture, adding a lot of vividness. The distant ridge slowly draws a beautiful arc in the sky. Full of saturated color blocks of blue, white, gold, black and green, in the description of autumn sunshine, the smooth colors and lines are highlighted, as if being in a painting. No wonder it is known as "the world of light and shadow" and "the paradise of photographers".
Sudden sister lake, after running a long lonely road on G3 18, suddenly appeared a sister lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. "Sister Lake", also known as "Glasses Lake", lies quietly on Haizi Mountain, like two beautiful and shy girls to be married, so holy. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, she is like two bright pearls and two tears of snow-capped mountains, sprinkled at the foot of the mountain.
D4: Batang, 18 hotels
Recommended itinerary for the day: Depart from Batang in the morning, cross Jinsha River, and have lunch in Mangkang County, the first county after entering Tibet. After crossing the Lancang River, over Bashan Mountain, Lawu Mountain and Dongdashan Pass at an altitude of 5008 meters, we arrived at Basu Dinner and checked into the hotel.
Jueba Mountain created by Lancang River is one of the great rivers in southwest China and an international river in Asia. Here, she walks between Tenet Mountain and Quiet Mountain, with high mountains and deep valleys, fast-flowing water and rocky beaches. Jueba Mountain is not high, and the pass is only 3940 meters above sea level. However, due to the deep undercutting of the Lancang River for thousands of years, the city walls on the banks of the river stand thousands of miles, desolate and hard, giving people the feeling of high mountains and deep valleys.
This is one of the famous dangerous sections in Hengduan Mountain area. The 30-kilometer Panshan Road and the relative height difference of nearly 2000 meters make Jueba Mountain the most difficult and time-consuming mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The expressway extends on the precipice, without guardrails or signposts. Many places are dug near the mountain, with cliffs above and abyss below. Compared with several famous natural disasters, the popularity of Jueba Mountain is really not high. Only those who are there know that this unknown natural disaster is as daunting as other famous natural disasters.
Nujiang Grand Canyon Turn 72 Nujiang Turn 72 is located in basu county, Changdu District, Xizang Autonomous Region, and also in the section from Bangda to Basu in Changdu, the southern line of Sichuan and Tibet, also known as "99 Turn of Sichuan and Tibet". Turn 72 of Nujiang River is not a scenic spot, but almost all people who pass by here for the first time will stop for a moment when they reach the commanding heights of the road. Nujiang 72 turns from the lowest point of 3 100 meters above sea level, climbs all the way to the highest point of Yela Pass at 465 100 meters above sea level, and then spirals down to Bonda Town at 4 100 meters above sea level. It is about12km long.
D5: Basuyibomi
Recommended itinerary for the day: after breakfast, go to Midui Glacier, all the way to Bomi, which is known as Tibet Little Switzerland, and check into the hotel after dinner.
Sunrise at Ranwu Lake, which means "a lake like goat's milk" in Tibetan, is located on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in the southwest of basu county and is the main source of Palong Zangbo, a tributary of Yarlung Zangbo River. There is a famous Laigu Glacier in the north of Ranwu Lake, which extends into the lake. Whenever the ice and snow melt, snow water is injected into the lake, so that Ranwu Lake always keeps rich water sources. Ranwu Lake is covered with green pastures and green crops. On the hillside near the lake, there is a vast forest, followed by colorful azaleas and shrub belts. On the top of the mountain, there is a snow-capped mountain that remains unchanged all year round.
The lowest glacier in the world, Midui Glacier is the most important marine glacier in Tibet and the lowest glacier in the world. Located near Mimei and Midui Village, Yupu Township, bomi county, Linzhi District, it is only 8 kilometers away from National Highway 3 18, and it is very convenient to reach. Due to the low altitude of the glacier tongue, it is easy to watch it at close range. The Midui Glacier is handsome in shape and is rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers by chinese national geography magazine.
Palong Zangbo Grand Canyon, located in Palong Zangbo, Linzhi, eastern Tibet, is mainly formed by the confluence of two secondary tributaries, and finally flows into the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, the largest canyon in the world, between Menzhong Village and Zhaqu Village. This basin is one of the three primitive forest areas in China, an important distribution area of forest areas in southeastern Tibet and the largest distribution area of monsoon marine glaciers in China. Here, the river is narrow and steep, the river in the valley is swift, the dangerous beaches are adjacent, and overlapping waters and waterfalls can be seen everywhere. On both sides of the canyon, virgin forests are densely covered and the landscape is charming. The average depth of Longzangbu Canyon ranks third in the world.
D6: Bomi-Lulang
Recommended itinerary for the day: about 22km from Bomi in the morning, set off along Liushuo River of Palong Zangbo River, and go to Tongmai, the last natural barrier of Sichuan-Tibet line. Enjoy the rural scenery of Lulang and stay in the hotel at night.
The no longer existing Tongmai natural barrier, from former Bomi to Linzhi, is the most dangerous section of National Highway 3 18, because we have to go through the famous Tongmai natural barrier, and today our risk coefficient has dropped a lot. Tongmai natural disaster is an important entrance to the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, and it is also called "the second largest debris flow group in the world" with "102 landslide section" and "Pailong natural disaster".
In the past, traffic control was implemented at night in Tongmai natural barrier section, and vehicles were not allowed to pass. During the day, vehicles can only pass through Tongmai Bridge one by one. Due to the limited carrying capacity of the bridge, the large trucks carrying goods must stop in front of Tongmai Bridge, unload the goods to the opposite side of the bridge by hand, and then reload them. The reconstruction project of "Tongmai Natural Barrier" started as early as 20 12. After four years of continuous fighting, four tunnels and two bridges built from Pailong to Tongmai were all completed before July this year, which indicates that the previous natural barrier has become a thoroughfare.
Rural scenery of Lulang, Lulang Ranch is the highest natural pasture. Lulang pasture on the plateau at an altitude of more than 3000 meters is covered with green grass and wild flowers everywhere. Horses play leisurely by the stream, yaks shake their huge bodies and stay with the grass. On the endless pasture, colorful flowers are blooming, a sea of flowers. Tibetans in the village will drive cattle, sheep and horses to pasture and let them enjoy gifts from snow-capped mountains and the earth.
Lulang coastal area is a typical plateau meadow belt. Linhai is composed of bushes and dense spruce and pine trees in the green hills on both sides. The trees are dominated by Cyclobalanopsis glauca, and there is a uniform meadow with winding streams in the middle of the sea. In addition, there are a large number of birds living here. Every year from mid-April to early June, thousands of wild flowers compete to open and the clouds in the mountains gather and disperse. Snow-capped mountains, forests and pastoral areas depict a peaceful and beautiful "Shan Jutu".
Look at Nange Baba Peak again. Nange Baba Peak is the highest peak in the world, ranking 15. Here, the glaciers on the top of the mountain are towering and handsome, and there are often clouds in the mountains, while at the foot of the mountain is the densely vegetated Jiangnan of Tibet with beautiful scenery. Nange Baba was named "the most beautiful snow mountain in China" in the chinese national geography beauty contest in China. The best time to enjoy Nanga Bawa Peak is April-June and 65438+ 10 every year. At this time, the climate is suitable, the mountains are shaded by trees and the clouds are floating in the mountains, and the scenery is the most beautiful. But it is often rainy at this time, and you may not see the whole picture of Xuefeng. In fact, according to some statistics, the average date when Nange Baba appeared is only 65 days a year, so we should also be prepared for a rainy day.
D7: Lulang-Linzhi
Recommended itinerary for the day: Depart at 8:00 in the morning, go up the Yangni River, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangni River, and go to Linzhi Gala Village, which is known as the "Peach Blossom Village", to attend the Peach Blossom Festival.
Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is a horseshoe-shaped grand canyon around Nangarbawa Peak and the largest canyon in the world. There are all kinds of scenery in the valley. You can watch Nanga Bawa, Yajiang Yangni River, ancient villages and so on. Chinese national geography magazine once rated it as the most beautiful canyon in China, which attracted many tourists.
Taohua Village Peach Blossom Festival, the annual Linzhi Peach Blossom Festival is held in Gala Village, so Gala Village is also called Taohua Village. There are mountains on both sides of the village, and the gurgling mountain snow flows through it, so it is called "Peach Blossom Valley" and "peach blossom ditch" by the locals. On the hillside on both sides of Yangni River, peach trees and wheat fields complement each other; Linzhi peach blossom ditch is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The stream pours down from the top of the mountain, and the wild peach trees grow along the stream, so you can only look at it from a distance but not from a close distance.
The silver makeup in Tibet has not faded in winter, but the peach blossoms in Linzhi are as beautiful as the plateau red on the Tibetan girl's face, and they compete with each other like drunken clouds, which can not only make people appreciate the unique scenery of "the snowy south of the Yangtze River", but also make people appreciate the most romantic and beautiful spring in Tibet. Most of the wild peaches in Tibet belong to Maotao. The trees are tall and thick, and they look like lush phoenix trees. The flowers of Maotao are smaller, mostly pink or crimson, not as big as those of Bi Tao and Jiang Tao, but they are dense and have a variety of hula dances.
D8: Linzhi-Lhasa
Recommended itinerary for the day: Depart in the morning, go up the Yangni River, have lunch at Gongbu Jiangda at noon, then start climbing the last snow-capped mountain on Line 3 18, Milla Mountain at an altitude of 50 13 meters, go down the Lhasa River to Lhasa, and check into the hotel after dinner.
Yangni River is the main river in Yang Ni, a very beautiful river and a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River. Tibetan calls this river "Qu" and this lake "Wrong". Yangni River is called Niyang Canal by Tibetans. There is a landscape in the Yangni River called the mainstay. This rock is like a square seal with buttons. It is as big as a villa and stands in the center of the rapids of the Yangni River. The river hit the boulder, splashing, tumbling and stirring, and took the road away.
After crossing the Milla Mountain, the car drove eastward along the Lhasa River Valley, getting higher and higher, crossing the Milla Pass at an altitude of 50 13 meters, continuing eastward and entering the Yangni River Valley. Milla Mountain is the border pass between Lhasa and Linzhi, with an altitude of 5020M, and Gongbu Jiangda County of Linzhi is just beyond Milla Pass. The Lhasa River system is in the northwest of Milla Mountain, and the Yangni River system is in the southeast. Lhasa has a dry and cold climate, while Linzhi has a warm and humid climate and lush vegetation. It can be said that Milla Mountain is the dividing line between Lhasa and Linzhi, which has completely changed the landform, vegetation and climate on the east and west sides of the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley.
Lhasa River, the mother river that has nurtured Lhasa people from generation to generation, is undoubtedly irreplaceable. On weekends, Lhasa people like to invite three or two friends to drive to the south of the city and have a picnic and camp by the river. Every bath festival, the river is even more lively.
D9: One-day tour in Lhasa
Potala Palace is the tallest and most magnificent palace in the world and the most important symbol of Lhasa and even Tibet. It was originally built by Zambizong Zangbo of the Tubo Dynasty to marry Princess Bhrikuti Devi and Princess Wencheng, and then it took 1300 years of continuous construction to achieve such a magnificent appearance today. Cloth Palace is mainly composed of Red Palace and White House. The highest Red Palace in the middle is an important place to hold religious ceremonies, and the surrounding White House is mainly the place for the Dalai Lama's life and political activities. Bugong also has some ancillary buildings, including Syracuse at the foot of the mountain and Zongjiao Lu Kang Park behind it.
The tour route of Potala Palace is fixed, and you can only follow the signs of the tour route, which is a one-line browsing method. The open halls often change, but the most important palaces are open almost every day.
Barkhor Street, also known as Bajiao Street, is located in the old city and is the most famous turning road and commercial center in Lhasa. Originally just a turning road around Jokhang Temple, it was called "holy road" by Tibetans, and now it has gradually expanded into the floorboard of large old-fashioned old streets around Jokhang Temple.
There will always be Tibetans who worship in the street, and there will always be Tibetan shops. Almost all the houses facing the street are shops, selling all kinds of Tibetan costumes, handicrafts and goods from India and Nepal. Food is also indispensable. Many famous restaurants in Lhasa are located here, such as Maggie Ami, Linxia-style Wang Zhongwang and Guangminggang Qiongtian Teahouse. Let you taste all kinds of Tibetan food at once. In addition, there are religious and cultural shrines near Barkhor Street, such as Shrimp Yard, Quiet Yard, Xide Temple Site, Cangjie Temple and Mosque. You can fully appreciate the mysterious collision of various cultures.
Jokhang Temple, the center of Barkhor Street is Jokhang Temple, which was built by Songtsan Gampo to commemorate Bhrikuti Devi's entry into Tibet. The original name of the temple was "Yossa", which later became the name of the city and evolved into today's "Lhasa". Therefore, people often say that "Jokhang Temple comes first, then Lhasa City". Jokhang Temple, as the "eye of Tibet", has a supreme position in Tibet's religious culture and has always been the center of various major Buddhist activities, with an endless stream of people coming here to change their scriptures every day.
The biggest attraction of Jokhang Temple is the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet. The reason why Lhasa is called "Holy Land" is related to this Buddha statue. On the right side of the entrance to the main hall is a mural about the Jokhang Temple story. To understand Jokhang Temple, Lhasa in the 7th century, Songzan Gampo and Princess Wencheng, we must first look at this one. Don't forget to board the platform on the third floor, which is a good place overlooking Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple Square.
Maggie Ami, located in a small khaki building in the southeast corner of Bajiao Street in Lhasa, is a restaurant that mainly serves Tibetan food, Indian food and Nepalese food. The small building has three floors, and the terrace on the third floor is an excellent position overlooking Bajiao Street. Maggie Amy, which means "unmarried mother" in Tibetan, comes from the love poem of the 6th Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso: At the top of Dongshan Mountain, the moon rises, and Maggie Amy's face emerges in my heart. According to legend, it is the name of Cangyang Jiacuo's lover. At that time, the place where Cangyang Jiacuo and Maggie Amy met was the Yellow House where Maggie Amy Restaurant is now located.

When the sun shines at different times, Yanghu will show different levels and extremely rich blue, just like a dream. At first glance, Yanghu is almost incredible. Yang Zhuo Yongcuo's water source comes from the snow water around Nyainqentanglha Mountain, and there is no outlet. The inflow and natural evaporation of snow water reached a strange dynamic balance, and the lake turned into ever-changing blue with the light. There is a long road by the lake not far from the laid-off Bala Snow Mountain. Stopping here, walking to the lake or even camping by the lake is the best way to feel the Yanghu Lake.
D 1 1: Lhasa-Namtso-Naqu
Recommended itinerary for the day: After breakfast, head south along the Qinghai-Tibet Line 109 National Road, cross Dangxiong County to Bonamucuo for sightseeing, and arrive at Naqu County for check-in at night.
Nyainqentanglha Mountain, Namtso Mountain and Nyainqentanglha Mountain are one of the main mountains in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which run through the central and eastern Tibet and are the eastward continuation of Gangdise Mountain. The northwest of Nyainqentanglha Mountain is Namtso, and the south foot is Yangbajing Canyon with abundant geothermal resources and numerous hot springs. Legend has it that Nyainqentanglha Mountain God commands hundreds of Tanggula Mountains across northern Tibet and is the most important protector in the world. Believers of Boni and Buddhism worship this mountain, believing that it is a quiet place and a gathering place for those who achieve positive results.
Nyainqentanglha Mountain guards Namco, which means Tianhu Lake, Linghu Lake or Shenhu Lake. Five islands in the lake stand on the blue water. Buddhists say they are the embodiment of Five Dhyani Buddhas. Anyone who goes to worship the Buddha in Shenhu will pay homage to him. According to the legend of believers, every year in the Year of the Sheep, Buddhists, Bodhisattvas and Dharma-expanding gods gather in Namco to set up an altar to preach Dharma. At this time, they went to worship and went to the lake to chant Buddhist scripture once, which was better than the usual ceremony of going to the lake to chant Buddhist scripture 100 thousand times, and the blessings were boundless.
Therefore, every year in the Year of the Sheep, monks and believers will travel long distances to Namco Lake. Around April 15th in the Tibetan Year of the Sheep, there were many believers, and the occasion was unprecedented. This sacred lake in the eyes of Tibetans attracts local Tibetans and Christians in Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan and other places every year, trekking thousands of miles to complete the arduous journey and seek spiritual transcendence.

Zhang Wan Salt Bridge is actually a wide road paved with salt built on the salt lake. It has neither piers nor railings, and the whole road surface is flat and flat. It looks almost like the same asphalt road in the same city, which is called "chinese odyssey". This section of road and railway crossing Chaerhan Salt Lake is about 32 kilometers long. Although the surface of the salt bridge looks black and dirty, it is no different from other highways, but it is really all paved with salt, and the thickest part is 60 meters. Digging underground with hard tools, you can see white salt particles under the surface eluvial soil. This salt bridge didn't use any piers, a ton of steel or even a stone.
But its carrying capacity is 60 tons per square meter. This is because most of the surface of the salt lake is covered with a solid and hard salt shell. Wanzhangyanqiao Road is wide and long, with infinite scenery. People come here by car, only to see straight and open roads and bridges, like a sword to split the vast salt lake in half. On both sides of the salt bridge are factories and dormitories of potash fertilizer plants, as well as ravine-like mining points.

The Zoige Prairie, known as the "Plateau Oasis in Northwest Sichuan", ranks first among the six most beautiful marsh wetlands selected by chinese national geography. There are vast grasslands here, which bloom into the sea in midsummer; There is a sky within reach, and the wind horse flag under the sky conveys the most sincere wishes; With pure faith, the red robe prayed for this holy land day and night. People here are simple and comfortable, have little desire to spy on the outside world, but are willing to warmly entertain people from the outside world.
Diexihaizi, Diexihaizi is actually a section of the main stream of Minjiang River, and it is a dammed lake formed by the earthquake. Haizi is composed of upper and lower parts, which are shaped like intestines. Surrounded by Haizi Castle Peak, the lakeshore is lush with green grass, the lake is rippling with blue waves, and the scenery is beautiful and charming. The formation of this earthquake lake is 1933. The strong earthquake caused landslides on both sides of Minjiang River, blocked the river and formed an earthquake lake. The collapsed mountain built three dams on the Minjiang River, namely Yinpingya, Daqiao and Diexi, which cut off the Minjiang River and cut off the Minjiang River at a flow rate of several thousand cubic meters per second. The cut-off river immediately returned, taking away rural farmhouses and cattle, horses and livestock. After more than 30 days of backflow, because Diexi has exceeded the heights of Yinping Dam and Da Qiao Dam, the river water injected into Diexi Dam has flooded Yinpingya Dam and Da Qiao Dam, connecting the three quake lakes. The lake twists and turns with the mountain, winding for forty or fifty miles, with the widest point reaching forty or fifty miles.
