Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain on the blue planet, which attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world every year, as well as brave climbers. In fact, go on road trip around Mount Qomolangma is also a good choice, and it is also very pleasant to look up at Mount Qomolangma at the foot of the mountain.
The old base camp of Mount Everest has been closed, and the new base camp of Mount Everest is now 2 kilometers down to the Rongbu Temple (the original statement is "Since February 2118, no unit or individual is allowed to travel in the core area above the Rongbu Temple in Mount Everest National Nature Reserve"). For ordinary tourists, viewing Mount Everest will not be affected. My location in the photo is Rongbu Temple. Have you seen Mount Everest? Do you want to take a closer look? Let's go.
Mount Everest is under the jurisdiction of Dingri County in Shigatse City. Dingri County and Mount Everest are both national borders, and they can only pass through with a border defense certificate. It is suggested to go through the household registration before leaving Tibet. It is too time-consuming to apply for a permit in Lhasa. Take Guangzhou as an example, take your ID card and household registration book and go to the police station where your household registration is located, saying that you want to travel to Tibet. Please help me to issue a certificate of no criminal record (it will take about 3 working days), and take the certificate from the police station to the district public security bureau.
remember, don't be lazy to fill in "all over Tibet" when you go to the place, because the border defense card filled in this way is invalid. The young lady at the registration window of the Public Security Bureau told me that the current policy is to go to the Everest Base Camp and fill in Shigatse City, but I am not at ease. I beg her to help me add Dingri County and Mount Everest (after reading the raiders, it is said that even Dingri County may not be able to go to Mount Everest). There are 7 prefecture-level cities (regions) in Tibet * * *, among which some areas in Ali, Linzhi, Shannan and Shigatse belong to the border. Please fill in
Lhasa, Qamdo and Naqu have no border cities and counties according to the destination, and you don't need to apply for a border card to go there. Such a detailed and illustrated guide for handling Tibetan border defense certificates.
Today's trip is nearly 321 kilometers from Shigatse City to Everest Base Camp. The navigation shows that it takes 7 hours without rest. It's a long way, so try to leave as early as possible. The morning in Shigatse is cold and cheerless. First, there are few people in the town for leisure. The second reason is a little special. The little brother at the front desk of the hotel told me that it doesn't get dark until 11 pm in Shigatse, so the locals generally don't eat dinner, just wait for midnight snack and eat late at night, so they get up late in the morning. < P > The price tag of a noodle restaurant in the downtown area (not close to the scenic spot) is high, and the cost of material transportation is high, and the food and beverage price level is only higher than that of Guangzhou. But Shigatse is not a popular tourist city. Is that a local business? Is this price too high for the local income level?
A bowl of beef soup powder+a bowl of mutton soup powder 41 yuan solves the breakfast for two people. The amount of meat is very sufficient. When I first served it, I thought it was just a few pieces of meat. When I ate it, I found that there was still a lot hidden below. Set off with a full stomach
If you leave the city in the direction of Mount Everest, you will pass Tashilhunpo Temple, the residence of Panchen Lama, which is the largest Tibetan food Buddhist temple in Houzang area. You must not miss your visit to Shigatse. Today, I have to hurry to Mount Everest for the time being, and then I will visit it tomorrow.
It was rainy from Lhasa to Shigatse yesterday, but it was still rainy when I went out this morning. When I crossed the Tsola Mountain Pass at an altitude of 4,511 meters, the long-lost blue sky and white clouds finally came out, and I was in a good mood.
It was smooth all the way to Mount Everest, and the road conditions were good, but the speed was measured in sections, some with a speed limit of 71, some with a speed limit of 61, and some with a speed limit of 31. As it happens, rape blossoms in Tibet are so beautiful in August, so don't just focus on the road, so I always run for a while, stop to see the scenery and take pictures, and then continue walking when the time is almost up. I don't know if I don't come to Tibet. The flowering period of rape on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is half a year later than that in Luoping, Yunnan Province, where the flowering period is the earliest in China. < P > The most important thing is not to miss the milestone of 5111 kilometers of National Highway 318 in the southern line of Sichuan and Tibet (this place is close to the county town of Lasi). It is just 5111 kilometers from Shanghai People's Square, the starting point of National Highway 318, which is very, very memorable. It should also be noted that another more domineering 5,111-kilometer memorial wall
is located in Qianggong Village, Resha Township, Lazi County, Shigatse City (in the service area a little before the 4952 milestone), a rest stop next to the road, which is a little hidden and easy to miss (I went too far when I went, and this photo was taken on my return trip the next day). Note that the direction to Mount Everest is to go to this wall first and then to the milestone in the above picture. So I wonder, which is the real 5111 kilometers, this memorial wall or the milestone above?
Not far from the 5,111 km milestone is the checkpoint in Lazi County (there is no need to check the border defense certificate here). The staff of the checkpoint told me that the 5,111 km memorial wall has passed a long way, but there is another place that must be punched in front.
Chawu Township in Lazi County is the end of the new Tibet line of the old 219 national highway (the new 219 national highway has been extended to dongxing city, Fangchenggang City, Guangxi), and there is a boundary marker between the Sichuan-Tibet line and the new Tibet line in Chawu Township. On one side is the 318 National Road leading to Zhangmu Port on the border between China and Nepal, and on the other side is the 219 National Road connecting Xinjiang via Ali in the sky
Of course, I continue to walk along the 318 National Road, walking through the mountains, winding all the way up,
This is the highest point of the whole Sichuan-Tibet line, here is the pass of the Gacuola Mountain at an altitude of 5,248 meters, and here is the 1 th place where Lhasa can overlook Mount Everest. The upcoming scene is quite magnificent
The archway reads "You have entered Mount Everest National Nature Reserve" with blue sky and white clouds as the background. At this moment, the mood is the most exciting, even more exciting than seeing Mount Everest at the base camp.
A row of snow-capped mountains behind me includes four male peaks with an altitude of 8,111 meters. This kind of scene can only be seen when the weather is fine, which is almost unique among all the passes crossed by roads in the world, although I am. But it's really exciting to witness it with your own eyes.
In fact, it's still far from Everest Base Camp, and the navigation shows that the remaining time is 4.5 hours. Besides the snow-capped mountains, it's a wilderness Gobi, which is a very boring and winding no-man's land. The ultraviolet rays on sunny days in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are super strong, and the mobile phone on the navigation frame and the sports camera at the front of the car are directly exposed to the sun, so it is so hot that it automatically shuts down several times. When driving this section, I was thinking, If the car breaks down here, I can't imagine
Seeing this big stone means that Dingri County is finally approaching. The Gacuola Pass just passed is the boundary between Dingri County and Lasi County, which is about 41 minutes' drive from Gacuola Pass.
It's another good place to take photos and punch in, but it's a bit unfriendly. Some local young people will tirelessly chase you with special souvenirs such as bloodstone and conch fossils. I don't know whether it's true or not, but I dare not buy it or ask the price. I can only refuse it politely, for fear that my bad attitude will irritate them. This situation also exists in Gacuola Pass
Actually, National Highway 318 directly passes through Baiba Township, which is close to the county seat. Baiba checkpoint is the checkpoint that needs to show my border defense certificate for the 1 th time on this trip. If there is no border defense certificate or there is no Xigaze area on the border defense certificate, please go back. If you don't plan to spend the night in the Everest Base Camp, you'd better choose to stay in Dingri County for one night, so there should be no problem going back and forth to the Base Camp on the next day. It's not realistic to go back and forth on the same day if you come from Shigatse like me.
If the car doesn't have enough gas, you must fill it up in Baiba Township (the township road will pass by PetroChina), and there will be no gas station to the Everest Base Camp later. Before I set out, I filled up the gas in downtown Shigatse, and the 45-liter fuel tank just ran through the famous Lu Lu checkpoint in Lhasa-Everest Base Camp section of National Highway p>318 from Everest to Shigatse. The inspection was very strict, and all members (including drivers) had to get off the bus and show their ID cards and border guards for real-name inspection.
Go on at this intersection, you can set foot on the Ali Ring Road, and to the left, you can find the ticket office of Mount Everest National Park. When you meet a group of well-equipped motorcycle friends who don't go into the mountain, take photos in front of the archway at the gate of the scenic spot and punch in, and then continue to head for Ali.
The small room next to it is the ticket office. It's almost 3 pm, and it's still early to watch, but the navigation shows that there are still more than three hours from here to the base camp. If you want to catch the sunset of Mount Everest, you should speed up your pace.
There is only one Tibetan conductor in the ticket office, and there are two tourists in twos and threes.
How Mount Everest scenic spot ticket 161 yuan/person+a car 321 yuan (including a driver's ticket) +241 yuan scenic spot eco-car (121 yuan/person, Mount Everest base camp parking lot-Rongbu Temple is about 1 hours' drive, you must take the scenic spot eco-car) =721 yuan, remember to bring cash, you can't pay Alipay on WeChat
Did you turn out at Mount Everest 118? Not yet. I will occasionally meet some small villages when I continue a boring wilderness Gobi. There is one detail that needs attention. If I am worried about the difficulty of staying in the base camp during the tourist season, I can ask the conductor to book a tent owner's phone number in advance, and Datong Shop will stay in 81 yuan/person (the base camp is at a unified price). The boss told me by phone that a single room with better privacy can be reserved in the tent. The price is 511 yuan, which is too expensive. I said that it would be good to stay in Datong Shop.
Turn 118 in Everest. At first, I wanted to take a panoramic view of the 118 turn with a drone, and I wanted to record how long it would take to finish the 118 turn < P > But I soon found out that I was wrong. Humans are so small in front of nature, and this sentence is more appropriate here < P > The 118 turn of Mount Everest, which is endless, is definitely more than the 118 turn. Only when I got here did I find that the 72 turn of Nujiang River is still too much meaning. < P > The Jiawula Pass at an altitude of 5198 meters is on the way to Mount Everest. It's only two observation platforms overlooking a row of snow peaks (next to Gacuola Pass).
When we stopped to take photos, three children popped out of the room. Maybe it's rare to have a chance to chat with strangers. Although they don't speak Mandarin very well, they told me enthusiastically that they lived here with their parents. I invited them to take photos with the row of snow peaks behind them, and they happily agreed. When I said goodbye, I gave the children a bag of Jiujiang distiller's grains peanuts brought from Guangzhou, so that they could share the distant taste with their parents.
So I turned around for 1 hours, and I drove until I was dizzy for the 1 th time, so I had to stop at the roadside to close my eyes and rest.
Finally I turned to the parking lot of Everest Base Camp, parked my car and took my luggage, and transferred to the Everest Base Camp in an environmentally-friendly car in the scenic spot. You must bring dinner, water and oxygen bottles, as well as cameras and tripods to shoot the stars on Mount Everest. No flying is allowed on the drone. Let's go.
After another half hour of turning, the driver pointed to the front lightly and said-Mount Everest, for him, this is a normal scene, but for many friends, it is a once-in-a-lifetime or never-before-seen scene.
The base camp has finally arrived, with an altitude of less than 5,111 meters. Shigatse has been here for nearly nine and a half hours, and it takes too much time to take photos on the road.
Everest is just around the corner, and I am eager to get closer to it, but I still need to find the tent first and let Ang Lee Tun go. Each tent has a number, which is easy to find.
There is the Rongbu Temple next to the tent. I didn't have time to visit it. I entered many temples all the way along the Sichuan-Tibet line, and I was a little immune to the temple landscape.
The straight-line distance from Rongbu Temple to Mount Qomolangma is about 311 meters, and it is a flat road without going uphill, so I don't have to worry about the high reaction caused by strenuous exercise.
The crowd gathering place in front is Mount Qomolangma, which is basically the closest place to the base camp of Rongbu Temple. The old base camp was closed, and the new base camp was lowered by 2 kilometers, and the height measuring stone of Mount Everest was also lowered. Where the height measuring stone is, the base camp is there.
This self-driving trip to Tibet goes as far as here. The low temperature and strong wind are close to 5111 meters above sea level. I don't care if the photos are taken well here. It is much more important to take them well than to take them well. Maybe I won't come back for the second time in my life. I must commemorate this cool experience.
The base camp of Mount Everest, where the accommodation conditions are very difficult, is like this in Datong, where men and women live together in 81 yuan. Tonight, we live in this tent with a young couple from Chengdu. They say that the holiday is insufficient and they have to go down the mountain to Lhasa early tomorrow. This is too difficult. I hope they can keep warm with sun-dried cow dung and horse manure. Even if the fuel is well handled, The tent owner is a young brother. He is very interested in my mi band 4 and asked me to sell it to him. But I don't think I am willing to give up this bracelet after a trip to Tibet with me. I can understand his feelings after thinking about it. There is no express delivery at the top of the remote world.
at 9 o'clock in the evening, I walked out of the tent after dinner and was pleasantly surprised to find Jinshan in Rizhao. I felt really lucky on this trip, and I met you all the way.
