I believe everyone is familiar with Luding, because when I was a child, there were articles about flying over the Luding Bridge in textbooks. The editor of this article is going to tell you about the travel guide to Luding.

The best way to get to Luding is to go to Chengdu first.

Then you can take the shuttle bus to Luding or Kangding at Xinnanmen, North Railway Station, Chadianzi and other stations.

The fare is about 105 and the journey takes about 6 hours. If you are going to Kangding, get off directly at Luding. If you are going to "Hailuogou" in Moxi, you can go underground in Gangu. Transfer to the local passenger bus and the fare is 5 yuan.

In March of this year, I went back to China as a routine to visit my relatives.

The three weeks of the year that my old mother looks forward to the most are also the only days that a wanderer like me can make up for some of my inner guilt.

The old mother is eighty-eight years old. Since the old father passed away four years ago, she has become much quieter. She is no longer the cheerful old lady who likes to talk loudly and always interferes with the affairs of the younger generations.

I am far away from home and have no way to stay with her. Every time I see her frail figure and hear her lonely voice, I feel sad but also helpless.

When I went back this year, I learned that the Yakang Expressway, the first expressway into Tibet, was officially opened to traffic. It used to take two days of walking along the winding mountain road to get from Dujiangyan to Luding, but now it only takes less than three hours.

, which is naturally very emotional and exciting! When my parents were young, Luding was the place where they worked and lived, and it was also my birthplace.

Although I left for a time when I was young and only returned when I was in high school, I spent my entire youth there, including jumping in line and later working as an automobile electrician, until I went to Beijing to attend university.

All in all, I haven't been back for more than ten or twenty years.

1. Departure: A quick trip only took one night, and I convinced my elderly mother.

We borrowed a car from a relative, simply packed our luggage, and set off in the early morning drizzle.

The famous Erlangshan Tunnel drove down the expressway. The road conditions were surprisingly good. There were not many cars on the road. I drove very comfortably. Before noon, we had already arrived in Luding.

Yakang Expressway 2, destination: "Luding", the pearl at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet. For most Chinese people, this name is not unfamiliar, because it was once the most tragic memory on the Long March, that is

"Flying to seize the Luding Bridge".

However, not everyone knows about its geographical location and human history.

I might as well give a brief introduction to make the travelogue fuller.

Road sign Luding County is located in the southeastern part of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. It is located in the transition zone from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Sichuan Basin. It borders Tianquan and Yingjing to the east, Kangding and Jiulong to the west, and Shimian County to the south. It is the gateway to Tibet and Sichuan.

A must pass.

There are 4 towns and 8 townships in Luding Yuanjing’s jurisdiction, covering an area of ??2165.35 square kilometers. There are 16 ethnic groups living in the territory, including Han, Tibetan, and Yi. It has the smallest land area in the state, a relatively high level of population education, the most dense population, and relatively high economic development.

Kuaidi is a multi-ethnic county in the mountainous area. It is also the regional commercial center in the eastern part of Garze Prefecture and the supply base for agricultural and sideline products in various counties in the prefecture. It is known as the "Eastern Gate" of Garze Prefecture.

Dadu River When I was a child, the most profound thing in my memory was of course the Dadu River that flowed all year round.

Although my parents warned me countless times not to swim in the river, I actually learned how to swim in this river.

Dadu River is the largest tributary of Minjiang River. It originates from the southern foot of Bayan Har Mountain in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and flows southward into Sichuan Province.

The river water is clear all year round and flows very fast.

The Dadu River, which looks very comfortable on the surface, is actually not suitable for swimming because it carries snow water flowing down from the snow-capped mountains and is bitingly cold.

Not only is the current fast, there are numerous reefs under the river surface, but there are also countless whirlpools that can engulf people in an instant.

This big river swallows up a lot of lives every year, mostly livestock and animals, and countless people drown in it.

Pushing my old mother's wheelchair, I stood on the high bank of the river. The cold wind blew quickly and the river roared and roared.

I couldn't help but think of the countless times I jumped into the water with my companions. At that time, I was fifteen or sixteen years old, the age when I was not afraid of the sky or the earth. Looking back now, I feel that being young is an extremely happy thing, and

You will feel a little ashamed and guilty.

The Iron Chain Bridge is still lying proudly on the Dadu River.

Even in the cold weather of early spring, there were still many tourists walking around.

The wind was so strong that the iron chains rattled and the bridge deck shook violently, which obviously made walking more difficult.

The vast majority of tourists chose to hold on to the iron chains on both sides and walked forward slowly.

Of course, there are also young people who are not afraid of danger, running on the bridge with big strides and laughter.

I couldn't help but go back to my memory. In a blink of an eye, it was already more than 40 years ago.

At that time, the iron cable bridge and the wooden planks on the bridge required regular maintenance to ensure smoothness and regularity.
