Last summer vacation, I went into and out of Sichuan by myself, which happened to be a trip. If my daily schedule is reasonable, I can stay in the town every day.
Tibet in go on road trip is a Tibetan dream shared by many people. In particular, I like landscape photography very much. The Sichuan-Tibet Line is not only a The Way, but also a scenic road with magnificent scenery and a direct impact on the soul.
for this trip to Sichuan and Tibet, I made a strategy three months in advance, including the daily driving distance, scenic spots, scenery to be photographed, hotels to stay in, restaurants to eat, etc. A * * * made three lines and two backups, and actually took the 318 National Road.
I always make a backup route before I travel, so as to avoid unexpected situations, and I can change the route in time. At the same time, I try to make a loop, so as not to take repeated roads and see the scenery as much as possible.
I'd like to share three routes of the Sichuan-Tibet line last year, hoping to help you. It should be noted that although I changed my Tiguan car to a bed car before departure, I consider that hotels in high altitude areas have oxygen inhalation facilities, so I didn't spend the night in the car. All of them stayed in hotels. As you can see from my route, I stayed in towns every day.
In addition, I just share the strategy of Chengdu-Lhasa, which was designed in 8-1 days. Raiders of other sections, you can trust me privately if necessary.
The three routes I designed are: Sichuan-Tibet South Line, Sichuan-Tibet Dabei Line and Sichuan-Tibet Xiaobei Line.
These three routes have their own characteristics and different scenery.
The southern Sichuan-Tibet line (National Highway 318) is a scenic avenue with beautiful natural scenery, which is better than the other two lines. Photographers like to take this line. This line has good road conditions and is the first choice for go on road trip enthusiasts or chartered tourists. The population along the way is relatively dense, the accommodation conditions are better, and various tourist facilities are relatively perfect.
The scenery along the Great Northern Sichuan-Tibet Line is also very beautiful, and the cultural landscape is very rich. People who like to explore the mysterious Tibetan culture will choose this line. The road condition of this route is a little worse, the population along the route is sparse, and various tourist facilities are slightly lacking. This route is suitable for go on road trip enthusiasts such as Motorsports and off-road vehicles. If you have a heart to explore, it is recommended to take this route.
the small northern Sichuan-Tibet line takes Siguniang Mountain, Seda and the southern Sichuan-Tibet line, which is a beautiful route integrating the northern and southern Sichuan-Tibet lines, with both beautiful scenery and rich Tibetan culture.
1. The southern Sichuan-Tibet line (National Highway 318), with a total length of 2,142 kilometers, takes 9 days
Day 1:
Starting from Chengdu, take Chengdu-Chongqing Ring Expressway-Yakang Expressway-Hailuogou, with a total length of more than 3 kilometers, and stay in Hailuogou, where the altitude is 2,85 meters.
There are Hailuogou Gongga Shen Takinoyu Hotel, Hailuogou Glacier Hot Spring Resort, Hailuogou Long March Hotel and other places where you can stay, and there are rooms of all grades.
Day 2:
Starting from Hailuogou, passing through Kangding, and arriving in xinduqiao from Kangding, the whole journey is more than 16 kilometers, and the altitude of xinduqiao is 3,3 meters. Stay in xinduqiao.
The driving distance is not too long. You can have a good tour of Kangding, climb to the top of the mountain, sing a "Love Song of Kangding" at the top of your voice, and experience the "Happy Mountain". Is there a wandering cloud? Accommodation in xinduqiao is also good, but in the tourist season, it is best to book rooms online in advance.
Day 3:
Depart from xinduqiao, arrive at Litang along the Hu-Nie line, pass Litang, and arrive at Daocheng Aden along the provincial roads 217 and 216. It is 425 kilometers long and stays in Daocheng Aden, where the altitude is 37 meters.
Accommodation in Daocheng Yading is also very convenient, and it is a very mature scenic spot. You can stay in Daocheng Yading Zangya Culture Hotel.
Day 4:
On this day, I mainly arranged a one-day tour of Daocheng Aden. After the tour, I still stayed in Daocheng Aden at night.
Day 5:
Depart from Daocheng Aden, follow Provincial Highway 217 and Shanghai-Nie Line, pass Litang and Batang, and arrive at Mangkang. The whole journey is more than 4 kilometers, and I stayed in Mangkang at night. Mangkang is 387 meters above sea level.
Day 6:
Continue to start from Mangkang along National Highway 318, pass through Zuogong County, reach basu county, and stay in basu county at night. The total length is 357 kilometers, and basu county is 326 meters above sea level.
Day 7:
From Basu, pass through Ranwu and Midui Glaciers and reach Bomi. It is 23 kilometers long and stays in Bomi County, with an altitude of 2,8 meters.
Day 8:
Depart from Bomi County, pass through Tongmai Natural Barrier and arrive at Bayi Town. It is 23 kilometers long and stays in Bayi Town, which is 28 meters above sea level.
Day 9:
Depart from Bayi Town, pass through Gongbu Jiangda and arrive in Lhasa. It is 4 kilometers long and stays in Lhasa, which is 37 meters above sea level.
I designed 9 days according to my travel time, and everyone can increase or decrease it according to their own time. Every accommodation place is a county town, except Bayi Town, which is not too big, but the accommodation is clean and sanitary.
9 days is a bit hasty. The snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests and grasslands along the way will definitely make you exclaim again and again. It is worth staying on this line for a few more days. I feel that 15 days is not too much.
Second, the Great Northern Sichuan-Tibet Line, passing through Seda, is a journey to explore Tibetan culture
This line is more than 2 kilometers longer than the Southern Sichuan-Tibet Line, so it will take at least 1 days. It is still starting from Chengdu and arriving in Lhasa. This route is only used as my backup route last year, and there is no actual driving. It is for your reference only.
Day 1:
Starting from Chengdu, passing through Ya 'an and Luding, arriving in Kangding, staying in Kangding, with a total length of 28 kilometers.
Day 2:
Depart from Kangding, pass through Bamei Town, reach Luhuo County, with a total length of 265 kilometers, and stay in Luhuo County.
Day 3:
Depart from Luhuo, pass through Onda Town, reach Seda County, with a total length of 147 kilometers, and stay in Seda County.
Day 4:
Stay in Seda for one day, visit Seda Buddhist College and take some photos.
Day 5:
Depart from Seda, directly reach Dege Xiazaba, with a total length of 329 kilometers, and stay in Dege Xiazaba.
Day 6:
One-day stay and one-day tour in Dege Xiazaba. There is a sutra-printing institute here that is worth visiting.
Day 7:
Depart from Dege Xiazaba, reach Qamdo City directly, with a total length of 325 kilometers, and stay in Qamdo City.
Day 8:
It starts from Changdu City, passes through Leiwuqi County, and reaches Dingqing County, with a total length of 231 kilometers.
Day 9:
Depart from Dingqing County, pass by Baqing County, reach Naqu City, with a total length of 477 kilometers, and stay in Naqu City.
Day 1:
Depart from Naqu City, pass through Dangxiong County and Yangbajing, and arrive in Lhasa City. The total length is 325 kilometers.
Third, the Sichuan-Tibet Xiaobei Line, which integrates the beautiful scenery of the Sichuan-Tibet North-South Line
This line is also designed according to 1 days.
Chengdu-Danba (36 km)-Seda (378 km)-Dege Xiazaba (329 km)-Qamdo (325 km)-Basu (264 km)-Bomi (23 km)-Bayi Town (23 km)-
Conclusion:
This is just a recommendation of three routes. I took the southern Sichuan-Tibet route, and the other two were for backup. You can choose according to your own preferences. Generally speaking, the daily trip is not very far, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and stay in the town. At the same time, you can stay for a few more days.
going to Tibet now is the best season. The Sichuan-Tibet line goes to Tibet with beautiful scenery and dense population, and there are many people and cars coming and going. When we entered Tibet, we set out from the military station in the morning, ate at the military station at noon and ate and slept at the military station at night. So, you can live in the town every day.
Starting from Chengdu, passing through Ya 'an and Tianquan, crossing Erlangshan Tunnel, Luding Tiesuo Bridge and Kangding Happy Horse Mountain must be visited. Go ahead, go north to xinduqiao, go to Changdu, and take the northern Sichuan-Tibet line; Continue to go south to Bangda, Litang and Batang, cross the Jinsha River and enter Mangkang in Tibet. You must try Jiajiamian.
After Zuogong and Basu, take a walk to Ranwu Lake and the ancient glacier. After Bomi, you can buy some special gastrodia elata, you can go to Yigong Tea Farm to have a cup of Everest green tea, and you can go to Lulang to eat stone pot chicken. After crossing the Seqila Mountain, you can have a rest in Linzhi. Don't miss Nanjiabawa Peak, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon and Nanyigou Luoba Village.
along the old road of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line, you should look at Basongcuo and the mainstay, and turn over Milla Mountain to the hot spring bubble of Mozhugong Kariduo. If you look all the way, you will step on Lhasa with one foot on the accelerator. Therefore, all the "points" along the way can be lived.
From the beginning of September to the 22nd of September, 219, I rode my bike through the Sichuan-Tibet Line (National Highway 318) for the third time.
compared with the previous two times, the road conditions (asphalt and cement roads) and the difficulty (at least four mountain passes have opened tunnels, reducing the height) of the Sichuan-Tibet line have been greatly improved compared with the previous two times (21 and 212).
as for the accommodation, the quality of accommodation is even worse than before.
Let's talk about accommodation first. With the construction of small towns in Tibetan areas coming to an end. Many small towns have sprung up on both sides of the Sichuan-Tibet line, and their grades are not lower than those in the mainland.
Many foreigners (mainly Sichuanese, and a few Chongqing and Yunnan people) saw the business opportunities of the busy Sichuan-Tibet line and opened restaurants and hotels in these small towns. The service quality of these hotels and restaurants is ok, and passengers have a lot of choices.
during the first two trips to Tibet, there was a distance of 7 or 8 kilometers between the two accommodation places, so you should plan your trip with accommodation. Nowadays, there are places for accommodation every 2 to 4 kilometers.
I remember that there were only four very humble small hotels and restaurants in Ranwu Town eight years ago. At present, there are more than 4 middle and high-end hotels and restaurants with hundreds of beds, and there are several clubs on the roadside seven or eight kilometers away from Ranwu Town, which can fully meet the needs of passengers of all grades.
in the last two years, all the routes into Tibet have been repaired, and many people have entered Tibet by other routes. The flow of people on the Sichuan-Tibet line has cooled down, and many hotels and restaurants are crowded.
When you choose accommodation, don't go to places that are too popular and unpopular. Now the supply exceeds the demand, so you can take your time.
Finally, I want to tell you that traveling on the Sichuan-Tibet line is difficult for you: it is almost impossible for you not to eat Sichuan food.
have a nice trip!
Send some photos I took in Tibetan areas to share with you.
Sichuan and Tibet have entered Tibet, and now it is very mature, because there are so many people driving and cycling. Basically, large and small towns have places to stay and eat, so there is basically no need to worry too much about this.
southern Sichuan-Tibet line: Chengdu-Ya 'an-Erlang Mountain-Litang-Batang-Mangkang-Zuogong-Bangda-Basu-Ranwu-Bomi-Linzhi-Lhasa. The total length is about 2142 kilometers.
People who first go to the plateau will be somewhat rebellious. Generally, their bodies will gradually adapt to the plateau environment after entering the plateau for 2-3 days. So it's not terrible to be high-spirited. As long as you keep your mind level, don't be too nervous, be careful not to catch a cold before you leave, drink plenty of water on the way, and don't do strenuous exercise, you'll be fine.
Generally, the Sichuan-Tibet line takes you from Chengdu, and you can reach Kangding on the first day. Kangding is a prefecture-level city, and this is the first stop to enter Tibetan areas, where you can also replenish your food and drink. You can reach Litang the next day, but it is best to reach Batang, because Litang's altitude is relatively high and it is easy to get high. You can rest in Zuogong, Bomi and Linzhi in the next few days, and finally arrive in Lhasa.
However, you can adjust your itinerary according to your own situation. There are also many places to stay and eat along the way, mainly in Sichuan, so don't worry too much about eating and drinking. The only thing to pay attention to is altitude sickness, drink plenty of water and rest. . Most people have no problem. .
the Sichuan-Tibet line enters Tibet by car, which is divided into two lines, the south line is dominated by natural scenery and the north line is dominated by human landscape. Among them, the southern line is favored by self-driving enthusiasts. On the one hand, because the Sichuan-Tibet line has beautiful natural scenery, it is known as "the first landscape avenue in China", and the scenery along the way is dizzying and unforgettable; On the other hand, the reason is that for go on road trip fans in most provinces and cities in China, it is relatively shortest to take the Sichuan-Tibet line from where they are, so they don't need to spend more time on the road; In addition, the southern Sichuan-Tibet line is densely populated. Although the whole line is from 2 meters to more than 5 meters above sea level, although the height difference is large, it is still very good as a whole. Most cities are located in low-altitude areas and the supporting facilities are relatively rich.
national highway 318 in the south, Chengdu 147KM Ya 'an 168KM Luding 49KM Kangding 75KM xinduqiao 74KM Yajiang 143KM Litang 165KM Batang 36KM Bamboo Basket 71KM Mangkang 158KM Zuogong 17KM Bangda 94KM Ba Su 9KM Ranwu 129KM Bomi 89KM Tongmai 127KM Linzhi 19KM Bayi 127KM Gongbu Jiangda 26KM Mozhugong Card 68KM. The farthest distance between every two cities is 26KM, and the nearest one is only 36KM. If there is no traffic jam, it can be reached in one day anyway. Except Litang, which is over 4 meters above sea level, other altitudes are not too high, so there are county towns where you can stay every day except for force majeure.
How to arrange daily accommodation when entering Tibet from Sichuan-Tibet line, because the altitude along Sichuan-Tibet line is relatively high and you can stay in some places with relatively low sea level. The following points can be referred to
Hello! Glad to answer your question! I hope my answer in the video can help you!
A: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is sparsely populated and there are few towns, so there are few urban accommodations.
Sichuan-Tibet line and Qinghai-Tibet line have always been two popular highways in Tibet, one with the best scenery of snow-capped mountains and sacred lakes, and the other with Gobi desert. The Sichuan-Tibet line is more than 2,2 kilometers, and the Qinghai-Tibet line is nearly 2, kilometers. It takes at least 15 days to walk and play in go on road trip. In addition, the Sichuan-Tibet line and the Qinghai-Tibet line have the characteristics of high altitude, complex road conditions, rough oil quality along the way, few maintenance points and far food supply points, which require high off-road, comfort and loading capacity of vehicles. Personally, I recommend off-road vehicles, such as Prado, Land Patrol, Pajero, Ford Raptor, jeep, herdsman, and so on.
Here's a recommendation for your trip schedule:
