RV China Border Tour Day125-128: Crossing the Sichuan-Tibet Line, the Nu River turns 72

Last time I mentioned: Parking by the Lulang River...

Today we continue to cross the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line to Bomi. In the morning we are still immersed in the magical days of Lulang and reluctant to leave.

The top of the mountain is covered with clouds and fog

Yak grazing leisurely on the grass

Passing through Tongmai natural danger

The journey to Bomi was shrouded in fairy mist

Road washed away by mudslides

Cows, fearless of danger, sit on the road

Arrive in Bomi County at noon

Unexpectedly tasted the delicious and authentic Shanxian mutton soup

Baked dough cake, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

Continue in the afternoon and walk through the pine forest

View mountain waterfalls

Appreciate Langqiu Glacier

Ahead is a huge mountain of armor

In the afternoon, I parked my car in the parking lot at the foot of Armor Mountain in Songzong Town, and suddenly a small wild cat jumped down from the mountain.

So I fed the cat Hehe’s dog food and his favorite ham sausage.

Heehee seems very dissatisfied

In the RV, give Hee Hee an omelette to make up for it late at night

Go to bed after eating

Good night!

Keep going the next day

When I woke up in the morning, the mountainside was covered with mist.

Before leaving, I left a bag of dog food for Xiaoye Miao. It should be enough for a while.

Heehee expressed that he was very broken. Usually he is surrounded by blessings and does not know how blessed he is.

Passing by the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line at point 3888, we took a group photo

There is a circle of fog around the top of the mountain

Passing through the water road, it is a place where Internet celebrities check in on Douyin. The passing cars have to do this, which is quite exciting like filming a car commercial.

Continue through mountains and jungles

Fall

Cows and sheep are visible in windblown grass

There are many pushcart live broadcasts on the Sichuan-Tibet line. This one also brought a cute puppy. He probably needs company when he is alone on the road~

In the small villages along the way, golden haystacks were piled in front of the doors and on the roofs.

Colorful terraces planted in front of the small village

In the evening, we came to Basu County to eat some Northeastern dumplings, Roujiamo and braised meat.

Since there is no good parking place in Basu County, I came to the abandoned Wada Village Committee and it was very quiet. I parked here tonight!

Good night!

Head to Dongda Mountain the next day

I just drove to the Nujiang Bridge and there was a traffic jam that made me unable to walk.

Upon inspection, we learned that emergency repairs were being carried out on the landslide ahead.

After being stuck in traffic for two hours, the road was just opened to traffic. The road section was extremely dangerous.

There are also beautiful terraced fields along the way

Then we came to the most dangerous mountain road - Turn 72 on Nujiang Tian Road

It's a bit cool to go straight up to the sky

Hee hee, it’s quite exciting to watch

Passing through Yela Mountain, altitude: 4658 meters

Beautiful countryside along the way

Come to Zuogong County at noon and have a bowl of braised beef noodles

Buy yak meat, a local specialty, 30 yuan/jin

yak steak

After dinner, we continued on our way to Dongda Mountain.

The temperature on the top of the mountain dropped sharply, there was snow in the mountains, and the grass was frozen

A group of yaks are crossing the road, oh no, yaks

Mountains, streams and grasslands are the best habitat for cattle and sheep, a bit like the Bayinbulukbu Prairie.

It was getting dark, so we parked our car at the Dongdashan Tourist Service Center at night. The scenery was pleasant, with mountains and creeks and Gesang flower fields behind it, and you could refill the water for free.

Hee hee passed among thousands of flowers

Listen to the gurgling water and have a good sleep tonight. Good night!

The next day, continue to Mangkang, the junction of National Highways 318 and 214.

The fog seems to cover the whole world

Arrive at Juebashan Daban viewing platform, altitude: 3911 meters

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down

Continue on the steep mountain road

Eagle strikes the sky

Bird's eye view of the mountains

A natural chasm becomes a thoroughfare

Lancang River, located in the mountain ravine, is very spectacular

Passing by Rumei Town, a small town located at the foot of the mountain

Sculptures of worshipers, hikers and cyclists

Continuing forward, it seems that we have come to the "little Switzerland" like Aershan again. I don't know how many "little Switzerland" we have passed along the way.
