If you can, I suggest you experience self-driving on the Sichuan-Tibet line. This line is beautiful, but it is also a great test of your will. You can see many beautiful scenery along the way. I suggest you don't miss it.

What car do you choose?

In fact, when the road conditions are good, it is no problem for cars with a displacement of 1.6L to take the Sichuan-Tibet line. If you plan to drive an off-road vehicle into Tibet, that's certainly a good thing. Large vehicle space and strong climbing ability. It is definitely the first choice for Tibet, Toyota Prado, Toyota Land Cruiser, Mitsubishi Pajero and Haval H9. In addition, if you drive to Tibet, you certainly hope that you can save some money by using more reasonable fuel. Diesel cars are cheaper than gasoline. In terms of fuel consumption, diesel vehicles consume less fuel. The only drawback is that diesel cars have less power than gasoline cars.

On the Sichuan-Tibet line, we should pay attention to the problem of high reflection of vehicles.

At high altitude, lack of oxygen and insufficient driving force of vehicles cause "high reaction". Especially in Naqu and other areas above 4,500m above sea level, whether it is a good car or an ordinary car, this kind of power shortage will occur (xinduqiao, Litang, Mangkang and other places are prone to high reaction). At the same time, in the plateau area, the automobile water tank is easy to boil and "boil" occurs.

In the face of this situation, it is suggested that the owner check the cooling system before departure and do not use alcohol antifreeze. At the same time, if the water tank really boils, wait for the water tank to cool for a period of time before opening the water tank cover and adding antifreeze. You can also drive the car to the nearest garage for inspection to ensure the safety of the car.

Cars must also have the following items:

Small tire inflation equipment outside wheel wrenches and jacks, road maps, latest electronic maps, lighting appliances, telescopes, communication tools, first-aid medicine boxes, emergency lights, compasses, warning signs and other emergency equipment.

How many days will it take to complete the southern section of the Sichuan-Tibet line?

It is recommended to book by car for 7- 1 1 day.

It takes 6-7 days from Chengdu to Lhasa. Generally, it takes 7 to 1 1 day. In case of short circuit or traffic control, the driving time is longer. In addition, there are many scenic spots along the Sichuan-Tibet line, and there are snow-capped mountains, grasslands and lakes along the 3 18 highway. Most of them need two or three days to get back to the main road 3 18. Therefore, it is suggested that 7- 1 1 day is appropriate for the self-driving time in the south of Sichuan-Tibet line.

: Precautions

1. July to September is the rainy season on the Sichuan-Tibet line every year. During this period, landslides and mudslides will occur. In some places, landslides and falling rocks often occur in non-rainy season. Therefore, it is best not to enter the dangerous area during the rainy season.

It is best not to drive at night in rainy season.

In winter and spring, there is ice and snow on the plateau, and dark ice often appears in the shade of mountain bends. So slow down at every intersection and pay attention to safety.

When crossing a corner, you must whistle first, and don't overtake in the corner.

5. When driving on the cliff section near the river, the vehicle must drive on one side of the mountain. The periphery of the road is very soft, and it is particularly easy to collapse under the action of external forces.

6. Considering that self-driving drivers are unfamiliar with the road conditions along the way, as well as irresistible factors such as traffic control and natural disasters. Give yourself 2-3 days to maneuver.

7. Before the vehicle leaves the vehicle, do a good job in the investigation of potential safety hazards of self-driving. If the car is not suitable for the Sichuan-Tibet line, it should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid any problems during the journey.

The expenses spent along the way

Fuel cost: mainly refers to the running-in between the driver and the vehicle. If a 2.5L displacement car is taken as an example, the fuel cost is estimated to be between 5,000 and 6,000 yuan.

Toll: The toll stations are mainly in Sichuan Province, including 53 yuan in Ya 'an, Feixianguan 10 yuan, Jiaojiping 10 yuan and 30 yuan in Erlang Mountain.

Accommodation: There are dozens of hotels in Tibetan areas, with more than 200-300 hotels. The accommodation price in most hotels is usually between 120- 150 yuan/room, which is slightly more expensive in peak season.

Catering: There are many Sichuan restaurants along the way. Due to storage and geographical location, the meal fee is higher than that in the city, but it is not too high. Suggested meal is calculated at 100 yuan/day/person.

: 20 10-20 10 The best self-driving time of Sichuan-Tibet line is May-June and September-10 every year. After the end of 1 1 every year, the Sichuan-Tibet line gradually "winters", and a large area of ice and snow accumulates along the way, which is not suitable for road travel this season. It was not until the middle of March of the following year that tourists gradually appeared on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

March to April

There are fewer people entering Tibet in early spring, but there is a most beautiful place on the Sichuan-Tibet line, which is the peach blossom in Linzhi. During the Linzhi Peach Blossom Festival, countless photographers came to photograph the first blooming peach blossom under the snowy mountain!

May to June

Wild flowers and lush scenery in the mountains seem to bloom because of your arrival, but wither because of your departure. This is a good time to enjoy flowers. It is also the most beautiful season for glaciers and snow-capped mountains.

July to August

July and August is the rainy season on the Sichuan-Tibet line, but it also coincides with the summer vacation. This is the busiest time to travel to Tibet in a year. During this period, the lush and golden rape flowers in Sichuan and Tibet provinces competed to bloom on both sides of the turbulent river. Late autumn, the scenery is beautiful and colorful.

September to1October

September and October are the most beautiful seasons on the Sichuan-Tibet line, with pleasant autumn colors along the way. The scenery and climate are at their best.

Because most parts of the Sichuan-Tibet line are in a primitive state, there are almost no traces of human activities, and the weather on the plateau is unpredictable: the temperature difference at night can reach more than 10 degrees, and extremely strong ultraviolet rays may harm the skin at any time, and altitude sickness is unbearable. So the preparation work is relatively complicated. No matter which way you take, the Sichuan-Tibet line is a place worth visiting.
