If there is any place where people can travel and relax now that the global epidemic is spreading, then I believe this place is Tibet.

Unlike other tourist attractions that are crowded with people once they open up, the pilgrimage to Tibet through the Sichuan-Tibet Highway always feels alienated from the world.

The sparsely populated area is the biggest feature here.

If you choose to travel alone from the beginning, you will have to endure loneliness and emptiness for a long period of time.

April to May is the preferred season to enter Tibet on the South Sichuan-Tibet Road. The temperature is comfortable and the road conditions at high altitudes are good.

But the day I chose was a bit early, and there was still snow on some roadsides that had not completely thawed. The snow was wet and cold, and the grass was dry.

It can not only stay away from the troubles of the new coronavirus, but also eliminate the depression of the previous few months.

?The one accompanying me on this trip is the Jetta VS7 Polar White, which was officially launched in March this year. It is a typical German car series and urban SUV style.

About SUVS SUVs are the most suitable car for self-driving travel in my opinion. Compared with the exquisiteness and compactness of cars, they are larger, more rugged, and more sporty. Compared with MVPs, they have lower fuel consumption, are younger, and are suitable for various scenarios.

Wider.

The space of an urban SUV is larger than that of a traditional sedan, but it is not very rugged.

It can be used not only for daily commuting, but also for family activities. It can also provide a large space needed for a person to travel long distances by car.

I believe that not only me, but most car enthusiasts have a good impression of SUVs.

This can be seen in vehicle sales over the years: SUVs have been the best-selling model in China over the past decade.

Catching up with this trend, major manufacturers are sparing no effort to promote their own brand of SUVs.

Volkswagen | Jetta The manufacturer of the Jetta VS7 is FAW-Volkswagen, but the Jetta brand's promotional caliber has always been independent of Volkswagen, and it has not taken advantage of Volkswagen.

Since the Jetta VS5, the Jetta has become another best-selling model of Volkswagen.

In this release of VS7, there are not many changes. The design basically takes the essence and eliminates the dross.

The first is that the body is larger and taller.

Jetta VS7 is 1644mm tall, 4624mm long and 1841mm wide. It can be regarded as VS5?plus.

Equipped with better configuration and system.

The new car is equipped with Volkswagen's EA211? 1.4T turbocharged engine and Aisin 6AT gearbox, both of which are very mature and stable.

1.4T high-power engine, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.

It has a gorgeous and smooth built-in touch control console, and the central control screen caters to the preferences of Chinese people. In one word: big!

A good ten inches.

?Front and rear parking radar, cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, panoramic sunroof and other functions, you may not expect it, but you may not use it.

The panoramic sunroof is boasted here. If you need a car that can be used for self-driving, want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, or like the thrill of soaring speed, then the panoramic sunroof configuration must be indispensable.

This is a highly practical SUV that can be used in a wide range of scenarios, including family travel, and does not have high requirements on terrain.

And the ex-factory price is around 100,000 to 130,000, which is very cost-effective.

The southern Sichuan-Tibet route is the most popular, most conventional, most beautiful, and most dangerous route to Tibet.

The scenery on this line has been developed, and apart from testing your driving skills, it is not too difficult.

From the map, the Southern Sichuan-Tibet Line is a straight line, but the real line is by no means as flat as the map.

This route started in Chengdu and ended in Lhasa. Along the way, it passed through large rivers, crossed mountains, snow ridges, glaciers, and virgin forests... After enjoying the cultural customs, tasting delicious food, and replenishing corresponding supplies in Chengdu, I entered

The real first stop on the Sichuan-Tibet Southern Line - Ya'an.

Along the way, the Duwen Expressway passes through Yingxiu, Siguniang Mountain and Danba.

At this time, the scenery along the road has become very Tibetan style. Seas of clouds and snow-capped mountains begin to appear along the way. If you bring a drone with a camera, you can also overlook the ground from a distance, which is empty and distant.

Look at the Yala Snow Mountain in the Tagong Grassland, and visit Thangka in the "Little Jokhang Temple".

Have you ever heard of Kangding Love Song?

This was a very popular song in my childhood, and the Kangding described in it is the Kangding here.

?The Zheduo Mountain Pass is the legendary first pass of Kangba. It is the first pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

From here on, it marks the real entry into Tibet.

Xinduqiao is a photo holy place and paradise that cannot be missed. The many scenery flowing out from here is the root of attracting groups of pilgrims. However, when you get here, you are only 1/4 of the way across the Sichuan-Tibet Line.

?On the Sichuan-Tibet line, traveling with multiple people is a better choice, which can relieve the boredom of the journey, especially going out with friends who can drive. You can alternate between driving and relieve fatigue.

But I was alone, and I didn’t have anyone to go out with at this time.
