The most well-known Chengdu-Lhasa section of G318, the famous Sichuan-Tibet Line, is the essence of this national highway.
To use a very common saying, everyone has a Sichuan-Tibet dream. In the eyes of cyclists, motorcyclists and self-driving people, this is the place where dreams begin.
Speaking of going to the Sichuan-Tibet Line in Motorcycle Travel, it was both a spur of the moment and a long-planned trip.
There were many hiccups before departure, but in the end we were on the way to Tibet.
Even though it’s thousands of miles away, I’m still going.
The temperature difference in the northwest summer will always make you put on and take off clothes.
Heading south from Lanzhou, we drove around and around on the winding mountain road, and met a few ruthless people who were doing live broadcasts on foot along the way.
I really don’t know how they managed to get up to the eighteen bends on this mountain road.
When we were in Dongxiang for lunch, we really didn’t want to eat the famous potatoes.
After touching his pockets, a bowl of cow's milk for each of the two of them was considered enough to fill their protesting stomachs.
After four years, the two finally returned to the place where they first traveled.
Regarding Gannan, it has been written in detail in the previous Nine Colors of Gannan‖ poetic lotus blooming at every step .
Due to the epidemic, many attractions are closed.
However, the flow of people in the prayer corridor of Labrang Monastery in the early morning is still continuous.
Looking down at the entire temple from the hill above the Buddhist altar, I understand what kind of power it is when faith is integrated into life.
Langmusi was destroyed by the Bailong River point The second is that in Gansu, the main attractions are temples, while in Sichuan, the main attractions are scenery.
Although it is a temple, tickets need to be purchased twice. Fortunately, tickets are not expensive. 30 yuan a piece.

Passing by the Longtan Tiger's Den, the two people insisted on trying to catch the tiger's cubs without entering the tiger's den. They walked up the nearly 70-degree slope to the cave, but found it difficult to get down.
So one by one, the buttocks finally slid down.
It’s better not to overestimate yourself, young man.
When I came out, I saw many pigeons at the gate of the temple. I even tore through the noodles and fed them to the pigeons.
Various scenes of pigeons spinning and jumping suddenly flashed through my mind.
So he quickly asked her to run towards the pigeons, hoping to startle a group of gulls and herons.
The picture in my mind should look like this
However, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the result was like this
Maybe the pigeons in the temple are used to tourists, so they don’t fly no matter how hard they are chased, they just jump and run away.
It looks like catching chickens in my hometown in the countryside
There are many strange place names in Tibetan areas
There are cows and sheep walking leisurely on the road
There are also endless grasslands and blue sky and white clouds
In Sangke Grassland, we finally had the first photo of two people and their baby motorcycle in so long.
After leaving Langmusi, we entered Sichuan, the hometown of giant pandas, Aba.
What impressed me the most was driving on a winding mountain road. I was happily taking a corner and suddenly felt that the center of gravity of the car was unstable.
Quickly straightening the car and slowing down, the two people's helmets slammed together.
It turned out that the fender of the back seat fell asleep. Heartless.
I don’t know how many detours I took before arriving at Zhagana.
Four years ago, the garbage cleaning fee was only 5 yuan, but now a toll station has been built 20 kilometers away from the scenic spot. 80 per person, half price for Gansu ID card.
After countless twists and turns, we finally arrived at the observation deck four years ago.
Looking from a distance, Zhagana in early summer looks a bit desolate.
This is a comparison picture from late summer four years ago
The owner of the B&B four years ago is no longer in business.
The old Tibetan woman who took our car to look for cattle four years ago has already renovated her dilapidated home into a boutique farmhouse.
Four years ago, her long hair was flowing and now my hairline is getting higher and higher.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the starry sky in Zhagana.
I experienced my first car crash in the snowy mountains
I visited Milarepa Pavilion, which I didn’t see last time.
After experiencing hailstones as big as fists, sheepdogs chasing cars and driving at night,
She will also return to Lanzhou.
Just like the mileage of this picture.
When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars.
After tonight, there are still 8,000 kilometers of sun, moon, mountains and rivers before I meet her again.
