Chengdu is a southwest metropolis, from east China to Tibet by car, Chengdu is a rallying place, is the base camp. There is no gathering of people in the team, gathered here, and all those who come by plane by high-speed rail come. The preparations for entering Tibet are not perfect, and we must end here. Because from Chengdu onwards, this is the real way into Tibet.
Our team started from Jiaxing and Nanjing, two cars with five people, and when we arrived in Chengdu, it increased to seven people. Two flew from Shanghai to Chengdu to join our tibet team.
China is too big, the road into Tibet in the past was too far and too difficult, and the Tibetan plateau was blocked by natural dangers from the interior. Tibet was peacefully liberated in 1951, and since 1950, 110,000 People's Liberation Army and migrant workers have built roads from Ya'an, Sichuan province to Tibet. In the early days of liberation, there was also Xikang Province, the provincial capital Ya'an, the highway from Ya'an to Lhasa, Tibet, climbing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, then called Kangzang Highway, and later Xikang Province was merged into Sichuan, called Sichuan-Tibet Highway. In December 1954, the Kangzang Highway was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 2255 kilometers, which is part of today's 318 National Highway.
In the 50s, there was a famous song, "Singing Erlang Mountain", which sang: Erlang Mountain, Gao Wanzhang..., the People's Liberation Army, the iron-clad Han, vowed to build the road to that Tibet! At that time, the Standard of the Sichuan-Tibet Line was not high, that is, an ordinary road, and the construction of this road, the investment and payment were extremely huge, and almost every kilometer had to sacrifice one or two lives! At that time, who would have thought that today would be a golden route into Tibet, with such spectacular scenery along the way!
Before we entered Tibet, we all handled border passes. The passages into Tibet were first the Sichuan-Tibet Line, which was built in the early 1950s, and the Xinzang Line, the Yunnan-Tibet Line, and the Qinghai-Tibet Line, which were later repaired. Especially after the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, it is more convenient. Today's self-driving tour is a forward base for self-driving to Tibet. Spend a day in Chengdu and make final preparations for entering Tibet. The temperature in Chengdu is already very high, and walking in the sun has a dry and hot feeling. Tomorrow's journey altitude will gradually increase, may gradually add clothes to change autumn clothes, to the cold area of the plateau will have to wear winter clothes!
Last night's hotel was arranged in Chengdu's Wenjiang District, which is a far suburb in the west of Chengdu, mainly considering the convenience of going out of the city on the road. Wuhan is a big Wuhan, Chengdu is also a big Chengdu, because Chengdu is the Western Sichuan Plain, look at the map of Chengdu, the ring road is a ring set of rings, extended on all sides. The Grand Gloria Grand Hotel in Felton is of a high grade, which is also the last luxury before entering Tibet! Think about the conditions in Tibetan areas, because of the plateau, the water will boil less than 100 degrees, and the rice may be half-cooked. If you go to Everest Base Camp and spend the night there, you have to be prepared for the cat tent to be frozen. Yes, any conditions must be adaptable.
Come to Chengdu and taste the snack bar in Chengdu, which is well-known throughout the country. Chengdu is a thousand-year-old tianfu, rich in products, Chengdu people are especially good at eating! People say that eating in Guangzhou, that's because Guangzhou people are bold, dare to eat anything, cats, snakes, monkeys... can become ingredients. It is also said that eating in Chengdu is because Chengdu people can eat, can eat the most ordinary things into classics, eat into brands!
In Chengdu, casually go around the street, you will see "Zhang Jieji", "Zhang Yi Bowl"... Chengdu's snacks are particularly close to the people, you see this name: "husband and wife lung slices", "mapo tofu", "basel fish fishing", "Shuzhong Wu", "Han buns", "Dan Dan noodles" ... This is a bunch of folklore displays, countless and beautiful.
Chengdu people eat spicy, Chengdu people eat hot pot, for Jiangsu and Zhejiang people who are not good at spicy and do not appreciate hot pot, eating a favorite dinner in Chengdu also have to patiently look for. Fortunately, after a day of driving, walking is also a rest, you can also see the night view of Chengdu.
Chengdu is a city suitable for leisure, strolling through Chengdu at night, the restaurant food stalls are full of people. At night, on the streets of Chengdu, it is not square dance or mahjong table.
This is the leisure, calmness and calmness of Chengdu people! It is completely different from the excitement and atmosphere we are preparing to enter Tibet. Or, the preparation before entering Tibet also requires such an emotional adjustment and relaxation. ......
