Can I travel to Tibet by car?
Yes, there is no problem at all. Compared with the past, the present automobile manufacturing technology has been greatly improved, and the probability of failure on the road is very small. Not only can cars go to Tibet, but many fans who like road trip drive Wuling cars to Tibet!
But before entering Tibet, you must know the route in depth. What season is suitable for going to road trip, and what do you need on the way? What if there is a problem? All these should be considered clearly. Before departure, the vehicle must be thoroughly inspected, not only to check the oil and antifreeze, but also to test various performances, including brakes, brake oil, circuit maintenance, emergency tools for gasoline pumps and batteries, etc.
Now driving to Tibet, it is suggested to take National Highway 3 18, because it is the best route to Tibet. The asphalt road has been paved all the way, and the road condition is very good, so it is very comfortable to run on it. There is nothing wrong with the performance of the car.
Because this road is a popular route and there are many people running, the service facilities are also in place. Gas stations, public toilets, hotels and service areas are all well built. You don't have to worry about supplies when you drive into Tibet.
Friends who like to go to road trip, if it's their first time in Tibet, try not to go too fast. It's better to control the speed at 60 mph, because you can enjoy the scenery along the way, and you can get off and take photos when you meet something memorable. However, we should drive carefully because there are many big trucks on this line. A slight carelessness may lead to a traffic accident. If it is also difficult to deal with, only by being careful can we save unnecessary troubles, successfully complete the Sichuan-Tibet line and draw a perfect stop for tourism.
Yes, but it is only suitable for taking the 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line. At present, there are many routes to Tibet by car, such as Qinghai-Tibet Line, Yunnan-Tibet Line, Xinzang Line and 3 17 North Line. Each route has different road conditions and different requirements for vehicles.
If you want to go to Tibet by car, the best road condition at present is National Highway 3 18, and the section from Zhubalong to Mangkang has been completely repaired.
Now the Sichuan-Tibet line is paved all the way, and the road conditions are very good. Even if you drive to Tibet, there is no pressure at all. In June, I led a team to Tibet by car and found many cars on the road.
3 18 National Road will become "route 66 for China people" and the most beautiful self-driving avenue. Now the gas stations, public toilets, hotels and service areas along the way are well built, so there is no need to worry about replenishment.
For friends who drive to Tibet for the first time, I have the following safe driving suggestions to share with you:
1, the speed should be controlled at 60 kilometers per hour, and don't overspeed. When overtaking, you must seize the opportunity to overtake quickly. Don't hesitate. Don't overtake by force when you don't have overtaking conditions, which may easily cause traffic accidents.
2. When you meet a big truck at the corner, you must pass in advance or stop and wait for the big truck to pass first. Don't worry.
3, focus, don't fatigue driving, or distracted watching. When parking for sightseeing, be sure to park your car in a safe place and don't occupy the driveway.
4. Keep a good attitude, be polite and don't drive a quarrelsome car.
Yes, but you must prepare enough materials and auto parts before going out to deal with all kinds of emergencies.
I have driven all the Sea Lion RVs, so there should be no car I can't get through (Ferrari, a low-lying car, can't get through, so I won't tow this one).
I just drove into Tibet in a sea lion RV. I have seen SUVs, cars, pickup trucks, bread, trucks, RVs, trailers and off-road vehicles along the way. Among them, I have paid special attention to such cheap cars as Wuling Light, Big Dipper, BYD F0 and Baojun 3 10, as well as green brand electric cars and old Santana.
The road conditions in Tibet are good, most of them are flat asphalt roads, and all cars can pass through. If there is a landslide, the road surface may form a short rotten road, and the chassis may hit the bottom if it is too low. So there will be no problem for ordinary cars to enter Tibet, but your cars are too good, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, but they can't pass. Similarly, some performance cars with low chassis, such as mustang, should also be careful. I haven't noticed this kind of car on the Sichuan-Tibet line, and I don't think so.
In terms of power, all the cars are fine. My sea lion is already the slowest car on the Sichuan-Tibet line. But no matter how steep the slope is, I'm sure I can pass the first and second gears.
But the problem is that although it can pass, it is too slow. My sea lion is at the same speed as the heavy truck, so slow that other cars next to it keep overtaking. On the Sichuan-Tibet line, the slope that requires me to shift into second gear can sometimes be as long as 100 kilometers. The degree of pain can be imagined. Slow-climbing cars like me also have vans and cheap cars.
So if you want to go to Tibet, you have to ask if the car can go, and the answer is yes; But when it comes to what car is suitable, I don't think cars are suitable for SUVs. Cars with strong power are much calmer on the way to Tibet.
This fact has given the answer. Along the way, the most cars I saw were SUVs, especially Toyota, Nissan and the Great Wall. It can be seen that SUVs with strong power and high chassis are most suitable for Tibet.
The second most popular model is the car. After all, cars are the biggest models, and there are many cars on the Sichuan-Tibet line. The car is also a high-end car of the joint venture brand. After all, a good car has strong power. That kind of cheap car roars and crawls slowly when going uphill.
Also, pickup trucks on the Sichuan-Tibet line are very common. It is not difficult to imagine that pickup trucks are more suitable for Tibet than SUVs in terms of power and chassis.
After reading my above account, I believe you have a bottom in your heart. What kind of chassis and power level your own car is, you weigh it. If your car has average power, but you don't mind driving slowly, just go to Tibet, and the traffic will be fine.
I am lighting China, both on the road and ready to go. In search of poetry and distance, I traveled all over China, with a self-driving mileage of nearly 200,000 kilometers. Continue to share your experiences and feelings about the journey. Welcome to pay attention and exchange!
The road conditions in Tibet are very good, and the car is completely ok. I just go to 3 17 and return to 3 18, and 1.6 Chery, and ride a bike.
Pay attention to special road sections.
1, rockfall area, low automobile chassis. Don't stare at bigger stones. I was knocked on the oil pan twice, but fortunately there was no oil leakage. The oil pan in the middle of nowhere leaks oil, and the consequences are unimaginable.
2. The road construction area, as shown above, was knocked over by the oil pan. If there are many sharp stones, drive slowly and try to avoid them.
3. In soft areas, try to stop on hard roads, don't drive with four wheels, don't cross the country, and don't take that risk unless you are looking for the theme of Kardon.
4, wet road, light car, fast sliding, and it is an ordinary tire. Be sure to turn slowly when going downhill. Once, the top of the snowy mountain was slippery with sleet, and I almost got off the road when I was about to turn the corner. The environment admits of no carelessness. Needless to say, the cliffs and ditches are basically finished, and it is very sad to find rescue.
To sum up, cars with similar conditions can enter Tibet, and it is mainly people who ensure safety. I am very careful when driving in Tibet. I'm always full of energy, I'm not tired of driving, I always pay attention to the car condition and road conditions, keep a calm mind and avoid all the cars around me at any time, so I haven't been to the garage, my tires have never been punctured, and I haven't been on the road illegally.
The following video is the process of being too tight with the cart and being hit by falling rocks.
QQ Alto cars can go to Tibet, not to mention cars. There is a saying that there are no cowards, only cowards.
However, you should pay attention to safety in rainy and snowy days.
Of course. Every year, many people travel to Tibet from Chengdu, and generally go to Tibet on 3 18. At present, most sections of 3 18 are asphalt roads with good road conditions.
A colleague of our unit went to Tibet by car last September, and the Qinghai-Tibet line was difficult to walk. Where the road conditions are poor, drive slowly and pay attention to the road selection, and there will be no problem! Because you want to go to the plateau, it is better to drive a car with a large displacement!
I often see a saying that there is no car that can't go to Tibet, only people who can't go to Tibet.
Glad to see your question ~
Recently, I am very concerned about self-driving in Tibet. It happens that my friend did the same thing. They mainly make the Sichuan-Tibet line of RV, and I can share some experiences with you.
Now there are eight routes to Tibet, and more people from go on road trip will choose Sichuan to go in and out, and vice versa. Separately, the Qinghai-Tibet line is basically an asphalt road, but there will be many carts passing by. Some of the ground is soft soil, which looks no different from ordinary roads. However, once the speed is too fast, there will be great danger. It is said that people will have a high reaction at high altitude, but in fact there will be a car. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that it is best to seal the chassis before leaving, and it is no longer uncommon to leave the car on the road and take off the license plate.
Besides the Sichuan-Tibet line, the problem of high opposition will certainly arise, because you need to climb more than a dozen passes at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, and go up and down very frequently, just like riding a roller coaster. Unlike the Northwest Link, you will have a long low-altitude road as a buffer after crossing the pass, so the donkey friends describe the Sichuan-Tibet line like this: "People's eyes are in heaven and their bodies are in hell."
My friend drove an RV and crossed the Sichuan-Tibet line twice in two years. Every time, he will encounter a landslide, causing traffic jams for eight hours. Therefore, he should not only be well prepared, including materials and body, but also be mentally prepared for emergencies. Of course, you don't have to be too nervous and worried when you encounter high reaction. Try to relax. It is particularly worth mentioning that oxygen cylinders must be brought, but don't use them too early. The second time my friend went, it was basically useless.
Another convenient way to get in and out of Tibet is to join a group in Xining or Sichuan. Although the price is a bit high, safety is guaranteed, especially physical first aid is very helpful.
