2021.7.27 Qing Today’s itinerary: 2900 National Highway 219 (in Xinjiang) - Kekeya - (300 kilometers) Moyu County 350 *** Starting at about 650 kilometers, they rumored that the Xinjiang-Tibet Line 219 will make people frightened.
I was even more frightened after the experience!
I still doubt it!
After experiencing it myself, I was convinced by it!
The altitude where we stayed last night was only over 3,000 meters, so I had a very sweet sleep!
The loud roar of the river and the unruly wind failed to wake me up.
When she woke up, she was in a good mood and had packed her bags.
Some of the tents of other friends have also been disassembled and assembled.
My hazy sleepiness had already disappeared without a trace in my haste, and I packed my luggage in a hurry, fearing that I would be the last to fall.
At around 7 o'clock, everyone finished dressing up and set off without breakfast!
Along the way, we looked at the endless desolation, the dangerous mountains and steep cliffs in the distance... and there was no grass growing anywhere!
No more life!
I could travel hundreds of kilometers without seeing a single person or car... If I were here alone, I think I would be utterly desperate!
On the road section in Yecheng, the mountains of the Karakoram Mountains are majestic, and they are closely connected and undulating.
The road runs through the mountains. From time to time, fallen rocks, gravel and sand can be seen on the road surface. Some roads are seriously damaged, and the access roads for driving are also very narrow, making the road conditions extremely bad!
I don’t know when the number of construction vehicles being repaired started to increase!
Stopping and waiting to go the wrong way is also common.
The fully loaded engineering vehicles rushed towards us with splashes of sand and dust, and then passed by.
Under the pressure of heavy objects, the steel plate of the engineering vehicle groaned dullly.
It left behind a grayish-yellow dust that enveloped us and refused to disperse.
As the global climate warms, the permafrost here is also deteriorating.
Frost heave and melt subsidence make collapse and landslides everywhere!
Some sections of the road are covered with mud that has flowed down due to melting and gliding!
Some roads have been pushed out of their original positions and are beyond recognition... Vehicles can only bump along the uneven sidewalks with big potholes and small holes.
Many construction machines are rushing to repair the roads that have been attacked, and some of the damaged areas have been cleaned up!
Otherwise, how could our passage be so smooth!
?
The road twists and turns in the steep mountains of the vast Kunlun Mountains!
The stone retaining wall under construction looks so small and exquisite at the foot of the mountain.
When we walked to the bottom of the mountain and were sandwiched between two mountains, we looked up and saw the precarious stone cliffs, which were narrow and deep. The steep mountain stream suddenly made people feel suffocating and oppressive... It seemed that the mountains ahead had merged into one.
, the road came to an abrupt end... But when we drove to the present moment, we saw that the road ahead was stretching!
With the moisture of snow water, the mountains begin to become colorful!
Melting glaciers and snow water rush down from the top of the mountain.
Mixed with sand and gravel, it poured onto the road, forming surging streams!
Roads invaded by mudslides are even more difficult to walk on!
When the car in front passes by, it leaves deep ruts.
Finally, the broadened horizons in front of us make us excited together!
The melted glacier snow water of Kunlun Mountain is rushing freely in the river bed, and some messy wires hanging on the power poles are swinging in the wind!
The mountains seem to have become gentle, colorful and sentimental!
The distant snow-capped mountain peaks are looming in the mist, and the road is clean and flat extending into the distance... When patches of tamarisk suddenly leap into the eyelids in the river bed, although there are only a few tamarisk flowers that have bloomed, the long-lost green plants are.
Let us rejoice!
The sun breaks out from the clouds from time to time, and the light is scattered on the mountains, flickering brightly and dimly... In order for Sister Cat to concentrate on driving, none of us spoke in the car!
Afraid of disturbing her concentration on driving.
I am very busy at this time!
Sometimes I lower my head to write copy and record my inner feelings at this time. I still look up from time to time to enjoy the scenery along the road. At the next moment, I hurriedly take photos of the highlights that quickly pass by... The person flying in front of me in the light and shadow is our high-energy Brother Mao!
Going further, we can see busy motorcades passing by from time to time.
That military green color is neat and unified!
Looking at the young and mighty faces in the car, I know that they are here to defend the tranquility of the land and water with their lives. They are guarding the towering Kunlun with their youthful blood. They are stars worthy of our admiration!
After passing a three-way intersection, we started climbing slowly again.
This is the Mazar supply point at an altitude of 3,780 meters. It is also the fork between the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway and the road to the world’s second highest peak, K2.
The height of K2 is 8611 meters.
The oncoming large car rushed down the slope. The road was steep and the car was heavy. When we passed by, a strong and pungent brake clutch rubber smell filled the car, which lingered for a long time.
