Travel Notes | Sichuan-Tibet Cycling - day10 You are the most beautiful scenery in this life, which makes me so fascinated.

Day 10 Litang to Batang, the total distance traveled is 823.7km, and the maximum mileage in a single day is 180KM.

The average riding time is about 10 hours a day. Are you tired? Let’s hear what Xiao Qiao has to say.

 

If you’re not tired, that’s because you can see a lot of girls on the road. Girls are the motivation for riding.

beautiful girl

The girls along the way were all very good-looking, and I was at the bottom. This is from Brother Shy’s mobile phone. Brother Shy has secretly photographed many girls along the way. He has been secretly photographing them since Chengdu.

Most of the girls on Sichuan-Tibet Road cover their faces tightly, and it is usually difficult to tell whether they are male or female, but Shy Brother has a famous saying: "I can tell whether it is a boy or a girl when I look at my butt!"

Today we rode in the beautiful Maoya Grassland, the snow-capped mountains "ice cream"

I really want to lick that cream

Many beautiful wild flowers bloomed on the grassland. Everyone stopped and took photos while riding.

Xiao Qiao said: "I took many handsome photos of the captain along the way, why don't I have any good-looking photos of myself! Look at my legs!"

Hikers can hitchhike, and cyclists can also pick up bikes. I remember that Stinky Mouse also picked up bikes here.

Xiao Qiao and I were the only ones who foolishly rode on it.

Haizi Mountain pass, prayer flags all the way

Successfully arrived at Haizi Mountain.

Haizi The average altitude of the mountain is 4,500 meters, and the highest peak, Guoyinrize, is 5,020 meters above sea level. There are 1,145 large and small lakes in total. Its scale and density are unique in my country, so it is named Haizi Mountain. It is the largest ancient ice body relic on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The weather is getting colder.

Now we are riding at high altitudes, and the downhill winds are strong, so we need to wear more clothes.

In fact, one of the important reasons why many people cannot complete the ride is high fever, but our team has never had any major problems, haha, because we drink butter tea every day, which is said to fight high fever.

There are rumors that there are robbers in Haizi Mountain, who often rob passing riders on the downhill slopes. So after arriving here, the riders gathered together spontaneously and formed a large team to go down the mountain together.

I'm also very scared. We had heard about robberies in Gaoer Temple when we were descending the mountain from Qazila. .

(I can’t remember the location clearly, but the general process is like this)

I quickly touched the cash on my body, stuffed it into the handlebar, and closed the lid. Follow the big group down the mountain.

We passed through many tunnels along the way, and every time we went out, we worried whether there would be robbers outside.

I remember that at the entrance of a tunnel, there was a local man, like a village cadre, wearing an armband. He stood there silently, as if escorting us, and I felt warm in my heart.

Not long after, we saw spectacular snow-capped mountains and beautiful sister lakes around a corner. It is really so beautiful that I have traveled to many places and seen many lakes, but none of them are as beautiful as hers.

Mountain lakes are like tears dropped inadvertently from the sky. Among the jagged rocks, they are as blue as jade and crystal clear.

I really crashed downhill today. The road down from Sister Lake was full of potholes, so I overturned in a big pothole and lost my car again... Just a reminder.

 

Because after crossing Haizi Mountain it was a very long downhill to Batang, we were more cautious and the downhill would not exceed 40 yards, so we went down the steep slope for several hours and our legs were numb.

 

I remember that when I entered Batang, the proprietresses of the roadside hotels were all shouting, and the content was more and more attractive. "Accommodation is only 15 yuan per person!" "There is hot water and you can take a shower!" "The washing machine is free!" The last one was amazing, "There is WIFI!" Hurry and rush to grab a seat!

I just remembered a story in Batang. I had a hard time finding accommodation that day. It was already past nine o'clock. I went out to eat and was not full, so I had an quarrel with Haozi. I said, go back, give me your wallet, and I will find food by myself. He said yes, and then we all walked left and right. I was dragging my tired pace to look for food in depression. At a corner, I found someone following me. When I saw it, it turned out to be him...
