June 24, 2021.
Continued again after many days.
This day's itinerary was from Linzhi to Chamdo, staying at Ranwu Lake in Baju County.
The route is through the Sejila Mountains, Lulang Forest Sea, Guxiang Lake, Bomi. Full 360 kilometers.
First on a few pictures to feed the eyes.
318 national highway on the car obviously more than 317. The narrow road, let the winner. Driving on the road, all kinds of road conditions will always make people involuntarily think of "Wandering Earth" that classic: road ten million, safety first.
In the Himalayas and Nyingchi-Tanggula Mountain confluence, there is an altitude of 7782 meters of Namcha Barwa Peak, Namcha Barwa in Tibetan (Wuzhou) has a variety of explanations, one for the "thunder and lightning such as the fire burning", one for the "straight to the sky of the spear". Is the world's 28th peak, it is said that its huge triangular peak body year-round snow, clouds, known as the "paradise in the clouds. 2005 by China's "National Geographic" magazine, rated China's top ten most beautiful mountains, it is said that every year to see the true face of the Namcha Barwa Peak is only a dozen days, because it is not easy to show people, also known as the "Shy Girl Peak". "shy girl peak".
So, we also did not see the Namcha Barwa Peak, but the card is still to play.
On the one hand, looking up at the Namcha Barwa Peak, on the other hand, the waves have the chest of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, is the southeastern part of China's Tibet, the Yarlung Zangbo River cuts through the eastern section of the Himalayan Mountains after the formation of the canyon, the north of the Mielin County, the village of Daduka, south of Murdock County, the village of Bashikha, its traversing area is mostly no man's land, in October 1998 to November, the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon of China, the scientific October to November 1998, China's Yarlung Tsangpo River Grand Canyon scientific expedition, the first hiking through the Grand Canyon, after precision measurements, the Yarlung Tsangpo River Grand Canyon length of 504.6 kilometers, the extreme depth of 6009 meters, from the length and depth of the extreme depth of the indicators, confirming the Yarlung Tsangpo River Grand Canyon for the "world's first large canyon.
At that time, I did not know that the Yarlung Tsangpo River Grand Canyon is actually very close to the card, just superficially excited to take pictures, and then realized that we missed a precious opportunity, and then Yang said that this is one of the three major regrets of his trip.
Snowy mountains, grasslands, yaks, such a pure and beautiful to see more stayed a long time, it seems that the first time I saw that the enthusiasm to take pictures, after the stunning is timeless.
Lulang Linhai: Lulang Tibetan meaning "Valley of the Dragon King", located in Linzhi Lulang town known as "Switzerland in the snowy region" in the territory of the 318 National Highway, is located in the deep forests, here, in addition to dense thickets of shrubs, is the spruce and pine trees, upright and lush, dense and green, and the spruce and pine trees, the spruce and pine trees, the spruce and pine trees, the spruce and pine trees, the spruce and pine trees, the spruce and the pine trees. Here, in addition to dense thickets of shrubs, is the spruce and pine trees, upright and lush, dense, "young forest green mother forest secluded", exciting, but also indulgent, there is a sense of not dare to explore.
The pine flowers here, but also opened a different kind of beauty.
Another motorcyclist.
The poet Wang Xinjian has a poem describing the Lulang Forest and Sea: "The snowy peaks are standing on the grass, half of the mountain, half of the mountain, half of the mountain, half of the mountain, half of the mountain, half of the mountain. The streamside streamers clarify the mind, and the sea of clouds and fields of flowers are heavy."
The weather is changing rapidly. There's no hesitation, just change, and it's spontaneous and natural.
Horses, are they used to the unpredictable weather here?
The town of Lulang is a project supported by Guangdong Province. When we arrived here, there was no one around, only these clean buildings standing still.
"Danqing painted a magnificent picture of Guangdong and Tibet with the same morality and unity of mind, hand in hand step Shambhala,
chapter continued spring and autumn, the snowy region dressed in full costume to sing and dance thanks to the dream of a new era".
Most of the time this trip is sitting in the car to see the scenery, sitting in the car in addition to seeing the scenery, sleep, is to take pictures.
I have been sitting in the passenger seat, the most sunny position, in order to take pictures. When I came back from Tibet, I saw myself in the mirror, my skin was dry and dark, and I aged 10 years.
But at that time, I felt that this life I do not know can come again, extraordinarily cherish the scenery along the way, so I have been shooting ah shoot, along the 318 return, the last few days, seems to be shot full of, on the shoot a little less.
Mudslide traces are everywhere. Behind the beautiful scenery also hides the danger, as there is light, there is shadow, everything in the world does not contain yin and yang and dialectical unity.
Suddenly, I thought of what Jung called "shadows", which are incompatible with the values and lifestyle chosen by the consciousness, and the dark, repressed, and undeveloped parts of the personality, such as the mudslide that we see in front of us, which, once developed, will not be unstoppable.
The Xilonggou Bridge.
The largest span cable-stayed bridge in Tibet, with a length of 743 meters, is quite spectacular.
Palong Zangbo River.
Called the Palong Zangbo River, it is the first of the five major tributaries of the Yarlung Zangbo River and is the tributary with the largest volume of water. Palong Zangbo water system is largely in Linzhi City, Bomi County. Because the two major rivers (Yi Gong Zangbu and Palong Zangbu before the section that is "Bomi Zangbu") in Linzhi County, rows of Longmenba Township, the territory of the merger and called Palong Zangbu.
Pailong Township, Pailong Tunnel, forcing the dragon ditch in these names "Pailong, Pailong, forcing the dragon," in fact, is a different translation.
Palong Zangbu Grand Canyon is the world's third largest canyon in terms of depth, 3,555 meters deep, equivalent to the United States of America Colorado Grand Canyon (2,133 meters deep) 1.67 times, second only to the ranking of the world's second in the territory of the Kingdom of Nepal in the Kali Gandega Grand Canyon (4,403 meters deep), more than Peru's Colca Grand Canyon (3,200 meters deep).
Unfortunately, another lost Grand Canyon, which, at the time, was not known.
At that time, I was obsessed with the novels of the tail fish, and on the way to Tibet from Chengdu, I passed by Mount Qingcheng: I was surprised to see that this is the old home of Szeto. And the Grand Canyon inside the occurrence of a variety of magical events, but also let me on the Grand Canyon of Tibet is full of expectations and yearning, but unfortunately, this trip, a did not see.
This written "Yigong Zangbo" signage, shot by hand, when the intention of the shot is to leave a pass through the name of the place it is estimated that from Tibet back a few months, thinking about the unfinished travelogue, has been a matter of heart, things have to start and finish it, and then organize the photos at the time, the tempo is slowed down, it can be The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at some of the places you've been to and passed through. However, you can't walk through them without knowing what you're doing, and now that you've searched the Internet, you realize that a huge landslide that shocked the world took place here 11 years ago.
About this landslide, find a paragraph of this description:
The Tibetans in the township of Yigong were stunned by a shocking sound, and ran out to see, only to see a nearby 3000-meter-high mountain, the whole was cut off more than 1,000 meters, the mud and stone flow all the way down, blocking the downstream of the Yigong Lake. The amount of collapsed earth and rocks is said to be more than 300 million cubic meters, equivalent to eleven Three Gorges. What is the concept of eleven Three Gorges of earth rushing down from a 3,000-meter hill? There are two results can be witnessed side by side its momentum:
Collapse of earth and rock flow God block kill God, Buddha block destroy Buddha, the rock base of all the mulch and vegetation all scraped away, even if it is the downward pressure of the airflow are so powerful and peerless, to reach the bottom of the valley continue to the opposite shore of the mountain impact, the airflow passes through the place, the trees on the hillside was cut off, clean up a forest passages to.
This mountainous and earth-shattering blow, but also blocked the outlet of the Yigong Lake, the lake in three months from 7 meters to more than 60 meters, Linzhi region mobilized all the excavation machinery, in the collapse of the earth dam dug a sparse mouth, but this is of no help, and finally, one day, the earth dam collapsed, the Yigong Lake water in an instant pouring down, from the elevation of 2,700 meters downstream of the air rushed! South Tibetan Indo-Chinese region of the Xion River basin (150 meters above sea level).
The result was that the Indian government complained to the United Nations that China was testing meteorological weapons upstream.
And we, who passed by, were completely unaware of such an earth-shattering event that happened back then.
Perhaps this casual shot is a subconscious remembrance. Perhaps there is a wake-up call.
Tongmaitre Bridge.
Tongmaitre Bridge is at the confluence of two rivers, Yigong Zangbo and Palong Zangbo.
The north-south flow of the Yigong Zangbo, the river originated in Nagchu Jia Li County; east-west flow of the Palong Zangbo, the river originated in the Changdu territory of the Ranwu Lake.
Mention of Tongmai, know people may immediately associate the "Tongmai sky danger", "Tongmai cemetery", because here is "Asia's second largest mudslide group", and the "Tongmai". Through the flow of people here than "Asia's first large mudslide group" - Zhouqu County, Gansu Province, much more, the natural accident rate is much higher.
There were three Tongmai bridges, and the one we saw was the third one, the other two are basically abandoned.
The first: a permanent reinforced concrete bridge built in the fifties, which was washed away after the world-shattering Yigong landslide on April 9, 2000;
The second: built in 2000 after the landslide, which was handed over to the fourth detachment of the Tibet Armed Police Traffic in 2001 to maintain and manage the bridge, and at the same time to undertake its guardianship tasks. Due to the Tongmai Bridge is the 318 National Highway throat, the bridge has armed police stationed around the clock, and prohibit photography. Because it is a project to preserve access, the bridge only allows 1 vehicle to pass through at a time, and after several horrific bridge collapses in 2013, the old bridge was reopened from August 2 to September 10, 2013, and in 2015 the twin-tower, double-span bridge suffered a dislocation of the steel frame structure, which led to a disruption of traffic for a time. The suspension bridge we see now is what it looked like when it was restored after its collapse in 2013; the bridge first had wooden planks with steel plates laid behind them, and now that the bridge has fulfilled its mission, it's a place for tourists to watch and take photos. This bridge has been in operation for 16 years;
Number 3: On November 29, the end of 2015, the Tongmaitre Bridge was opened to traffic.
Known as the "Tongmai cemetery" of Tongmai Tiananxian, once let every person passing through here scared, from the Bomi County 102 Road class to the Pailong Township of more than 20 kilometers, was the Sichuan-Tibet route is generally considered the most dangerous "death road". 5 years ago, the smooth pans of the dirt road to the township of Pailong, the road is the most dangerous. The smooth earth road can only let a car pass, only nearly half a meter distance on both sides, one side of the crags from time to time falling rocks, on the other side of a hundred meters of cliffs. 2016 April 13, Tongmai Tiananxian the last barrier - forced dragon ditch bridge was also declared open to traffic, Tongmai Tiananxian from now on is no longer, the moat into a road, three bridges to witness the The "death section" of the disappearance.
Now, Tongmai Special Bridge, forced Longgou Special Bridge, 102 tunnel, Feishi cliff tunnel, small tiger mouth tunnel, Palong 1 tunnel, Palong 2 tunnel five tunnels, "five tunnels and two bridges" of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway Tongmai section so that "Tongmai Danger" Reduced to a "historical term", the past need to 2 hours of travel, now as long as 20 minutes.
Although there is no past "Tongmai heavenly danger" terrible, but this area belongs to the southern belt of Tibet Yigong National Geological Park, in the Indian Ocean plate and Eurasian plate cross zone, geological complexity and active, easy to have unstable geological phenomena, remediation and reconstruction of the route to reduce the level of danger, but not too much to be taken lightly. The government is also trying to improve the quality of life in the country, but it can't take it too lightly.
Safety is the most important thing.
