Which are more dangerous?
Erlangshan
From Chengdu to Erlang Mountain, we feel that the most dangerous day is when we go to Xingou. In Tian Quan, there was a mudslide on the road, but it was not very big. This time, we walked on a rainy day, and there was a section on the edge of the cliff. If the rain falls directly from above, it will basically fall on you. Actually, this road is not dangerous. Erlang Mountain is a downhill slope, which is the first enlarged slope on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Downhill to Luding for more than 20 kilometers, the road conditions are all flat cement roads. Remember not to drive too fast when turning. There are still a lot of cars here, so it is basically impossible to park a 40-odd bicycle downhill, which is very dangerous. Setting the code table is to watch the speed go downhill and control the speed.
Zheduo mountain
This is the first time that the Tibetan line has been raised to this height. The altitude is rising rapidly today, and it will be a little rebellious. But the danger is not rebellion, but downhill. Basically, it's afternoon from Kangding to Yakou in the morning. People with poor physical strength can't stop until 5 pm. Moreover, the weather at the top of the mountain changes greatly, and it is dangerous to go down when it rains. Besides, it's cold and rainy, and my hands will soon be unconscious. You can't control the brakes when going downhill. Be sure to protect yourself from the sun when you arrive in xinduqiao. The sun is evil. You will get sunburned in two hours, and then we will get hurt.
Goyle, mt
When riding to the Gols Pass, we encountered a landslide. Now Gaoersi Mountain is a tunnel, which should be the longest tunnel along the way. It's dangerous inside. When we passed by this year, many places on your road were full of potholes, and it was easy to fall in. In addition, the quality of drivers here is very poor, and it is normal to drive in the opposite direction. Good thing I didn't force you to stop. I heard that 60% drivers here are driving without a license. Be careful of the pit in the tunnel. There is basically no warning. Be sure to bring a strong flashlight.
Kazira, mt
This section of the road is basically good, but don't encounter wind and rain. Riding in the wind and rain is difficult, but there is no danger. It used to be dangerous to keep wild dogs, but we didn't meet them on the road. This section of the road is beautiful, Haizishan.
If you go to Haizishan, the road in Litang County is a bit messy. Now, there are commercial houses rebuilt in Litang County. Under construction, the road is basically flooded by engineering vehicles, but there is no danger.
Crossing Haizi Mountain generally starts from Hexi Township. When we got to the top of the mountain, the road was a little rotten, and we were all repairing it.
Especially on the way to Xiahaizi Mountain, many places are full of potholes, which are all materials for road construction. Be careful when going downhill.
Zombara, mt
If you live in Bala Mountain, pass Batang and Haitong Station to Mangkang. On this road, you will pass the Jinsha River Bridge, and you will officially enter the border of Tibet. Pay attention to robbing children on the road in Tibet. But it's okay now. I only met twice on the way, that is, for dinner.
Before we get to Haitong Station, there is a bad road, all of which are unilaterally released. This year, it is like this. It was caused by a landslide before, and it is estimated that it will be repaired next year. This road is not easy to walk.
Yelashan
There are basically no dangerous sections to the top of Yala Mountain. What you see is a flying stone section, which is rarely encountered.
The most dangerous thing here is turn 72. You must control the brakes and check them at any time. Every year, people with bad brakes are killed or injured here. Be sure to check the brakes when going downhill. If you feel that the brakes are out of order, stop immediately. It is best to ride a disc brake for a while and have a rest to avoid fever failure. Check the thickness of the brake pad with a V-brake.
Sierra, mt
This section of the road is not very good, especially downhill, and roads are being built. The road is not easy to walk, but if there is danger, it is basically not very big. If the road is good, it's basically nothing.
Road construction this year, the road conditions are very bad.
The last paragraph is basically to build roads. When I arrived at Songdao, I met the roadbed collapse. This section of the road is very bad, because the Linla highway has been repaired, and it is estimated that it will all be broken before it is completed.
security issue
Safety bears the brunt. You can go to Lhasa by bike instead of Lhasa, but don't get hurt in Lhasa!
Safety is the most important thing. Be sure to check the brakes before going downhill. Remember to wear knee pads, and don't grab the brakes with one hand when going downhill!
Perhaps most girls who ride bicycles are not proficient in repairing cars. They can have their peers check it out, or try it several times before going downhill. Don't be careless. In 2009, I met a Cantonese girl in Nepal. She didn't check the brakes. She fell from the mountain and had to have stitches on her face. It was really scary. Especially in rainy days, you should be extra careful. Even if there is nothing wrong with the brakes, they often fail. If you feel that the car is not easy to control, get off and push. Remember, safety comes first. The more rain, the more security risks. In addition, holding the brake with one hand is a very dangerous action. My companion fell out of the car and flew out because of this difficult action.
2. Try not to ride at night.
Some cyclists may find it romantic to ride a bike at night. It doesn't need to be in the hot sun, and it's cool, but it's still not safe for girls. First of all, there are basically no street lamps in the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line. At night, you can't see the road clearly only by the small lights of your riders, and the asphalt road is fine. If the road is a mixture of stones and mud, it is very unsafe. Secondly, many trucks don't rest at night and drive all night, so drivers are prone to fatigue. It is inevitable that they can't concentrate on seeing the thin figure of their riders, and the consequences are unimaginable. Moreover, it is too late to reach the destination, and it is not easy to find a place to stay. Last year, three men took photos and chatted in the afternoon 12. Many places are full and inconvenient. And you can't leave early the next day, which is a waste of time.
3. Girls had better not be alone.
After arriving at the destination, girls do not go out alone at night. Of course, boys had better not go out alone. After all, I am not familiar with the environment. I'm a stranger here, so it's safer to act collectively. Generally, after adding vegetables, I almost go back to rest, and it won't take too long. Most places are not interesting. If it's inconvenient for girls, it's best to find a companion to ride. Wait and see if any other girls or boys want a ride. It is not safe to be alone.
4. If a child grabs a bag or gets in the way, you can rush over. If there are adults nearby, it is best not to stay.
Individuals have never been harassed by dogs on the road. I don't know if it's because I have a dog at home. A friend said that if a docile dog approached him and smelled the smell, he wouldn't be chased by a dog. It's worth a try ~ look at the character ~
6. It's best to prepare a first-aid kit with a whistle in it, so that if something blows, it can attract people's attention. I also brought an electric shock self-defense device. There are also screaming alarms sold online, which can prevent loss and call the police in case of danger. We must have a sense of safety and find and prevent unsafe factors in advance.
7. Buy insurance before going on the road. Write down key issues such as insurance number in the attached notebook. If you want to go to Nepal, you can buy overseas insurance in Lhasa.
: health problems
1. Girls are advised not to ride bicycles on the first day.
This is the advice of most female riders. After all, I am weak during my period. Being too tired is not good for your health, and there is no need to fight like this. It takes a lifetime to endanger health. Also, you'd better not wash your hair when you come to avoid catching a cold.
Never take a cold bath.
I'd rather be dirty than take a cold bath. Actually, I don't know if there is less pollution in the plateau. In short, there is no feeling of dirty in the mainland, and hair ms is not so easy to get oil. It is tolerable not to take a bath or wash your hair for three or four days. One of our riders just took a cold shower and caught a cold, which caused a fever. It is always painful to have a fever in other places. And it's dangerous to have a fever on the plateau.
3. Keep warm at high altitude. Masks and wool headscarves are necessary.
I caught a cold in Batang. Many people say that catching a cold at high altitude is dangerous. I was a little scared at that time, so I went to the Tibetan medicine clinic and prescribed medicine. I ate more than a dozen tablets a day, but it took me longer to recover in the inland areas than usual. Because the altitude temperature is low, sweating is easy to catch a cold. Remember to protect your mouth, nose and chest at this time. When I am in poor health, I always feel that my trachea is cold and painful. Later, riding a bike with a mask made me feel much better, so cold air wouldn't be sucked into my body. Because the single-layer scarf is a little thin, and the fleece scarf is airtight. Masks can also be bought on the road. There is also the position where the neckline is easy to catch cold. It is best to wear a fleece scarf when the temperature is low.
Food problem
1. It is best to drink rhodiola or take other drugs in advance to reduce altitude sickness. I started drinking two days before climbing the folding mountain. I can't confirm the effect, so drink it just to be on the safe side ~
2. Eat more nutrition on the way. A cyclist on the road said that eating more beef is strong and tomatoes can relieve fatigue, so I usually find a bigger place to buy some beef slices and eat them with steamed bread at noon. If you can't buy fresh beef, buy beef jerky. Eat tomato scrambled eggs or tomato egg soup at night, and add a meat dish ~
3. the grocery store on the road looks at the date and often expires. Please ask the price before ordering in the restaurant. In our Magor restaurant in Zuogong, the boss may have quoted the wrong price before dinner, but refused to admit it when checking out. He insisted on adding 3 yuan more, with a bad attitude and swearing. Finally, I had to dial the first 1 10 in my life.
I heard that drinking some glucose water is not tiring to climb the mountain, but I personally didn't feel anything special after drinking it for a few days. It also varies from person to person. If you think white water has no taste, you can try it ~ there are usually small supermarkets and pharmacies. On the way, I will buy some snacks such as dried sweet potatoes and baked buns in the bigger supermarket. When you are tired and have a rest, you will eat them to relieve your mood ~ In addition, you will eat some fruit if you have the conditions ~ Basically, you will buy an apple or peach with you when you supplement your food the day before.
Four. Clothing and equipment
1. My equipment: a fleece coat, a coat, a pair of quick-drying pants, a quick-drying coat (bought only in August 1), two pairs of cycling pants (but basically one is enough), two pairs of gloves, a pair of knee pads, a single coat, a coat, a skirt and an open coat.
Packed bags and some unused clothes were sent to Lhasa in Chengdu. But I only have one suit, which is mainly streamlined and has nothing to send.
3. Wrong lesson: I was afraid that I couldn't buy skin care products on the road, so I brought two sets. Facts have proved that Tibetan areas are very developed, and there are large supermarkets in larger places, which are similar to those in the mainland. One set is enough, as long as you don't pursue international brands.
The split raincoat I bought has no rain hat. I don't know if it doesn't exist or something is wrong. On the way, I can only use my jacket hat and helmet to keep out the rain. Later, I bought a waterproof hat, but it can only prevent light rain.
: currency cards and bargaining
1. There are many postal savings in the south of the Sichuan-Tibet line. It is suggested to get a postal currency card. There are few agricultural banks, only relatively large places, and they often close. However, the postal service often closes at noon, so you need to look at the time. There are some small places that banks don't have. However, to our surprise, a famous family like Wu Can can't receive any money. I don't know if there will be any improvement this year. I suggest making plans in advance.
2. When shopping near Jokhang Temple, you should bargain hard. Ten necklaces are the highest price, unless you want something worn by Tibetan compatriots and eliminated. I feel that most accessories are made in Yiwu. Ordinary earrings should not exceed five yuan a pair, shawls and the like should not exceed 25 yuan, and other expensive ones are different. In short, be tough when bargaining. If you don't come down, you can add more ~ in addition, the goods are similar. If this one doesn't work, just change to the next one ~
Scenic spot
1. Midui Glacier can be in close contact with icebergs, which is not bad. However, I still don't understand why men are so excited about glaciers. Seeing glaciers one by one is like beating chicken blood. Last year, in 50 yuan, tickets were free with the tour guide card ~ There was a place called Midui Glacier House, and the owner was very kind ~ But the food in the scenic spot was more expensive, so it was better to supply it in advance if possible. Just buy some instant noodles, sausages, bread and the like. If you want to stay for one night and touch the ice, you have to leave early, and it takes five or six hours to go back and forth. It looks close, but it takes time to walk.
2. Namco, it is very cold nearby, and it is quite cold to live at night; The scenery was good, but it didn't impress me.
3, Mount Everest, tickets 180 yuan, tour guides have to buy tickets, and the ticket price of Mount Everest is relatively expensive. A person 100 yuan ms is kind. Because I saw many snow-capped mountains along the way, I couldn't reach the top. Everest is no different from other snow-capped mountains, so I gave up. 4. The Yangzhuoyong fault from Lhasa to Nepal is super beautiful, from the shock at first sight to the wonder at the second eye to the tears at the nth eye. I think it is the most beautiful water I have ever seen (of course, I have never been to the Aegean Sea and Maldives). The picture can't be taken at all. It is as quiet as blue.
