If you are in the city, you can stay in a nearby hotel for easy washing. If you are not in the urban area and there is a farm nearby, you can seek accommodation in the nearby farm; If you are really in a remote place, you can bring a simple warm tent when riding. But no matter where you live, please pay attention to safety and protect yourself when riding in Tibet.
2. The route of riding Tibet
What you need to prepare for riding to Tibet is as follows:
1. Take the compass, the domestic road map published by China Map Publishing House, and the map of Tibet, and prepare relevant documents in case of emergency.
Shanghai has a high altitude and strong sunshine during the day, so outdoor activities should pay attention to sun protection. Take sunscreen, helmet and goggles and take protective measures.
Take a backpack and put toiletries, long-sleeved cycling clothes and gloves in it. It's a long way to Tibet by bike, and most of the time there won't be hotels and the like on the road, so be prepared for camping in the wild, and bring tents, damp-proof mats and sleeping bags.
Hello, I'm Mickey. I'd be happy to answer your questions.
Ride the Sichuan-Tibet line this summer. Sichuan line is not as difficult and complicated as imagined, but it is definitely not that simple.
From my experience, the most important thing is willpower. Starting from Chengdu, people around you will say: I will definitely ride to Lhasa. If I win, don't hitchhike. In fact, none of them really made it to the end.
In the first half, that is, in Sichuan, a large number of people will be wiped out and then they will enter Tibet. Due to various road maintenance and natural disasters, others may not be able to continue. Just like the collapse of Tongmai Bridge this year, everyone had a hard time during that time.
What needs attention on the road is to keep warm. Raincoats are very important, not only for rain protection, but also for wind protection and warmth. Climbing to the top of the mountain is often tens of kilometers down the mountain, with high altitude, low temperature and strong wind. At this time, the raincoat can ensure that you won't freeze. Of course, the coat is better, but not all riders can match a coat. Then there are cycling pants. Even old birds can make your hips uncomfortable. Cycling pants have silicone pads, which will make you feel much more relaxed. In addition, the cycling clothes are breathable, sweat-wicking and comfortable to wear, which makes you ride smoothly and easily.
Be sure to bring enough food and water when you leave in the morning. Basically, you can have a decent meal when you arrive at your destination at night. Many times there is no place to eat at noon, and even if there is, it will not be cheap.
Remember to book the next day the night you arrive at your destination, and arrange accommodation in advance on a first-come-first-served basis.
Don't take too much luggage, as long as you have enough clothes to wear. Don't take too much luggage. Do not consider going to the Sichuan-Tibet line. Dressed like flowers, no one will look. People will only think you are a fool. After you win, don't worry about yourself.
It is also important for him to find one or two reliable teammates to take care of each other. Know the road conditions of your riding the next day in advance and always pay attention to the situation ahead.
Sun protection is very important. This is no joke. The magic towel with a few dollars online is very easy to use. Buy a few, which will wipe sweat, prevent sun and dust. You also need to ride windproof eyes. Many sections of the Sichuan-Tibet line eat ash and mud on sunny days. It would be nice if my eyes turned gray when I went downhill. Very dangerous!
Don, when you have great resistance, don't pursue it. You don't want to go back. At least drop to a relatively low altitude and rest until your high resistance heals. Resolutely do not climb! It is the capital of the physical revolution.
Then don't let your family worry too much. Even if you report your situation, there are people in the distance who care about you.
There is nothing more to say. You won. You don't know what it is unless you go there. It's no use talking too much.
Finally, I wish you success and complete your trip to Sichuan-Tibet line successfully.

4. Riding the Sichuan-Tibet Line Road Map
When preparing to ride the Sichuan-Tibet line, the matters needing attention and training time in peacetime training:
1. Mainly focus on endurance training, and insist on riding for more than 10 hours every day. Don't pursue speed.
2. It is best to ride with load when practicing, because the bag will be heavier when riding in Sichuan and Tibet. Riding empty and riding with load are completely different feelings.
3. If the leg muscles are underdeveloped, you need to attack the pedal frequency. There are many uphill roads on the Sichuan-Tibet line. If you don't have strong muscles and good pedaling frequency, you can only push the car away.
4. It is better to have a continuous uphill section in its practice section, which can better simulate the road conditions in Tibet.
5. stick to this practice for a week. If there are no adverse reactions, you can rest for 1-2 days and continue training 1 week. Then you can start by adjusting your physical condition and correct it for about a week.

cacao
The Mongolian language in Hoh Xil means blue mountain, and another way of saying it is beautiful girl. It is located in the northwest of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, sandwiched between Tanggula Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, and is one of the main source areas of the Yangtze River.
Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is one of the areas with the best preserved original ecological environment in the world, and it is also the last natural land that retains its original state. There is no barrier around, and the terrain is high, with an average elevation of more than 5000 meters. Hoh Xil is a paradise for wild animals, because the harsh natural conditions here make it impossible for human beings to survive for a long time. Wild animals unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as wild yak, Tibetan antelope, wild donkey, white-lipped deer and brown bear, make this girl more attractive. According to the data, Hoh Xil is one of the regions with the richest animal resources in China, with more than 230 species of wild animals, including more than 20 species of national first-class and second-class protected wild animals.
Qiangtang Prairie
Qiangtang is one of the five major pastures in China, located between Kunlun Mountain, Tanggula Mountain and Gangdise Mountain, accounting for about two-thirds of Xizang Autonomous Region, with an average elevation of more than 4,500 meters. It is not only a paradise for wild animals, but also a fertile cultural soil with rich sediments.
Herdsmen have created a dreamy and colorful nomadic culture here. There are not only ancient rock paintings, but also sites of ancient elephants and heroes. The footprints and stories of the hero King Gelsall are all over northern Tibet. Manidui, prayer flags and ancient pagodas can be seen everywhere, adding a bit of mystery to the vast prairie. The famous Tang-Fan ancient road runs through the north and south. Tents are a great sight here. In addition to the ancient yak tents, there are five kinds of nylon tents in red, blue, yellow, green and white, which are colorful and have different shapes. Many tents are hung with colorful wind flags.
Kaka salt lake
Chayanchi is located in the eastern edge of Qaidam Basin, south of Chaka Town, Wulan County. It is a rich and beautiful natural salt lake, with towering Wanyan Tongbu Mountain in the north, Wangxiu Mountain in the south and Chatang Basin in the east.
This lake is very shallow, you can walk on it. At this time, the sun is shining, and the transpiration air has a salty taste, which can make people relax. That feeling is really wonderful. The pure salt lake reflects the sky, clouds and distant mountains on the other side, and the shadow of people walking on it is also reflected in it, forming a beautiful scenery of water and sky. Chaka Salt Lake under the blue sky is elegant and pure, quiet as a girl, but amazing. It is as gorgeous as a jewel falling from the sky, and it also reflects the shadows of clouds, mountains and people in the salt lake like the sky. Walking in the lake is like walking on a smooth mirror, which is beautiful.
Qinghai Lake
Qinghai Lake, with an area of 4,583 square kilometers, is vast and mysterious. It is a huge mirror given by nature to Qinghai Plateau. The waves moving slightly on the clear blue lake seem to whisper an ancient legend.
Qinghai Lake is surrounded by four towering mountains and surrounded by tall natural barriers. From the foot of the mountain to the lake, there is an endless thousand-mile plain. Qinghai Lake, with its vast smoke and rippling blue waves, is like a huge jade platter embedded between mountains and grasslands, forming a magnificent landscape in which mountains, lakes and grasslands set each other off.
The scenery of Qinghai Lake is very different in different seasons. The lakeside of Qinghai Lake is beautiful in autumn, and the vast undulating grassland is like a thick green carpet. Countless cows, sheep and horses are scattered on the grassland like colorful pearls. Picturesque farmland near the lake is full of wheat waves and cauliflower, and Qinghai Lake is like a pool of glass nectar gently rippling in the blue water. The cold winter is coming. Qinghai Lake is frozen with jade and wrapped in silver, just like a huge mirror, shining in the sun all day long.
7. Cycling route map of Qinghai-Tibet line
The 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line usually refers to the Chengdu-Lhasa section of the 3 18 national highway officially opened to traffic at 1958. The southern line runs from Ya 'an to National Highway 108, and crosses Erlang Mountain to the west. The Sichuan-Tibet line is located on the 30-degree north latitude line, which is called the landscape avenue of China people.
Distance: 2073.6 kilometers
18 Sichuan-Tibet line south is the one with the best road conditions, the most convenient accommodation and the highest safety factor among many routes into Tibet.
12 high mountain (mountain pass) at an altitude of 4000m;
Zhezi Mountain, Gols Mountain, Jianziwan Mountain, Kazila Mountain, Haizi Mountain, Zongla Mountain, Laowu Mountain, Dongdashan Mountain, Yela Mountain (Nujiang Mountain), Anjiula Mountain, Sejila Mountain and Milla Mountain.
With the improvement of 3 18 route, many high mountains have opened tunnels that do not cross the mountain pass. Pass is a place that cyclists love and hate. Each level will exhaust all your energy and give you the most beautiful scenery. If you want to enjoy the most beautiful scenery, you can ride along the old road and exchange your physical strength for a fairyland on earth (as time goes by, the old road will gradually fall into disrepair, so it is best to consult the local innkeeper if necessary. It is still very convenient to ride).
8. Sichuan-Tibet cycling road map
The most classic is "Turn the Mountain", which is about riding the Yunnan-Tibet line. Then in the past two years, there was a series called Walking in the Clouds, which was broadcast on Tibet Satellite TV.

It takes about 120 to 150 days to ride the national highway 2 19. National Highway 29, with a total length of 10065km, starts in Kanas, Xinjiang, ends in Dongxing, Guangxi, and passes through Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Guangxi. It is the longest national highway in China. Because of the long distance and high altitude, it is extremely difficult to ride, so it takes longer to ride. Ordinary enthusiasts are not recommended to ride this section.
10. Cycling route map of the new Tibet line
A lot. In general, the tourist season from May to 10 is mostly riding the Sichuan-Tibet line. However, the whole of Tibet entered the rainy season in July, and it was rainy from the middle and late September to the beginning of 10. The road is not easy at this time. If you want to ride, it is recommended to avoid this time!
