Foreword, the great ring of the mind begins
Hello everyone, I'm Teacher Lin, and we're meeting again.
If it is a long-distance self-driving trip, it is best to drive out of Shanghai in advance, generally I recommend starting at 4 o'clock, now the day is 5 o'clock the sky has been lit up, because there are elderly people and children on the trip, resulting in time can not match, is also a very headache, the departure time has been dragged until 5:40 to start on the elevated road.
Itinerary planning, meticulous and meticulous, is not as good as temporary changes
In fact, this plan has made some adjustments before, and then there are two cars in a row, coordination is more troublesome, it is recommended that travel is best a car, you can do as you please, with others always everywhere, travel time, encounter a lot of trouble in the middle, so if you can, travel a car Family is the best, to avoid coordination is more troublesome.

Sights, in fact the views are all on the way
In fact, in addition to the rush on the road, many times to coordinate the accommodation of things, it is recommended to set the room before, many hotels if not basically at night will call to confirm, the main hotel is all Fliggy fixed accommodation, for Ctrip impression is not very good, especially in many remote places, Fliggy resources are relatively more!
On the road, I mainly drive by myself, and my wife basically takes over when I can't really drive, mainly because of the new car, and my wife is not skilled in driving. Second, I am not very reassured.
Our first stop in Xi'an, because I do not plan to stay in Xi'an, so I choose a hotel close to the highway, convenient for the next day to rush, if you live in the city center convenient to go out to play in the place, in the morning out of the more troublesome, we plan to go back to the city when in Xi'an to stop and play for a day, I myself run in the field all day, the family and children when the opportunity to come out is not much.
The next morning set off to Xining, before departure in the hotel with two large pots of hot water, double-layer thermos cup out of the door is a must to carry, sometimes I take medicine myself, sometimes give children to drink water, especially on the road, sometimes in order to pick up water into the service area is also a waste of time, the efficiency during travel is the first.
Because of the two cars, whether we are on the road, or in the hotel, mrs. like to use WeChat groups, I like to use the walkie-talkie, no matter which room, a building, at any time to call at any time to communicate, and the advantage of the walkie-talkie is that there is no delay, I ask everyone to be open at any time, carry around, get up in the morning to eat breakfast, everyone goes out to buy daily necessities, the use of walkie-talkies can be a good communication.
The next day our purpose is Xining, so the purpose is clear, navigation destination in Xining around a Hanting Express Hotel. I didn't expect the high-speed fast-forward xining downtown to start a traffic jam, but fortunately, the two cars basically reached the accommodation location at the same time.
And it began to rain again, it was pouring, these days are rainy weather, if you encounter bad weather, you are willing to pay attention to safety first.
Starting from Xining, the first stop is the first punching place on the road this time, Tar Temple, ready to leave early to go to Tar Temple, the result of grinding and chirping began to gather people, 10 o'clock in the morning from Xining to Go to Tar Temple, the result of the conventional can not find a parking space, can only go to the side of the farmer's own door parking lot, 30 yuan a time, rely on the mountain to eat the mountain and rely on the water, rely on the temple is also like this.
My little guy, as well as my sister and my sister's classmates, unfortunately the two of them play together, do not take the sister to play, along the way to complain constantly, but the sister is still small, in addition to like to buy things, most of them just can't walk, so going out with children is very tired.
Sister Tao, probably the meaning of good sisters to play together, the two girls this year's junior high school exam just ended, made an appointment to go to Dunhuang together, go to Qinghai Lake together. Tal Temple, the score has not come out today, and the two little ones are very worried, but obviously come out to play a little happier.
Hurriedly from the Taal Temple to Qinghai Lake, because there is a part of the highway there is a long national road to go, and the speed limit can not open up the speed, 3 o'clock in the afternoon to the lake, for the Erlang Sword Scenic Area I twice to Qinghai Lake did not go in, there are many farmers on the side of the circle, charge 10 yuan a person, you can go to the lake, directly and Qinghai Lake to a close contact, in fact, I personally more recommend walking into the lake, as for the commercialization of too much scenic spot, I myself am not interested in going in.
A group of female classmates took crazy photos together at the edge of Qinghai Lake, and they could see a lot of Qinghai Huangyu swimming around the lake. The scenery by the lake is very beautiful, and now it seems that the government does not allow the government to drive to the lake, from the national highway to the lake at least 1000M distance.
Although the view of the lake is good, but the sun in July is still very strong, need to do a good job of sun protection, we have done a good job of sunscreen in advance, the group bought a sunscreen hat of sunday afternoons, and it is best to apply some sunscreen, due to the high altitude of Qinghai and the fresh air, it is easy to be sunburned.
Starting from the edge of Qinghai Lake, you need to cross the highest rubber mountain, and the server at the top of the mountain is very windy, which will make the weather very cold. Need to dress a little thicker, we originally planned to stay in chaka, and then considering the location of chaka, we temporarily changed the address of accommodation to Delingha, mainly to go to Dachaidan and Shuiyadan the next day. By Delingha it was already 12 o'clock at night.
7/20Day4: Delhi-Yadan Geopark Suda Chaidan
On the third day, after breakfast from Delhi, I planned to go to today's main destination, Shui Yadan, today's road is not far away, but the climate is relatively harsh, and the oil has been filled before the trip, and it is best to protect it. Since departing from Delhi to Aqua Yadan needs to pass by a small attraction, stop by to see.
Keluke Lake is a small surprise on this road, as a small saltwater lake deep into the mainland, but also with Zhejiang cooperation to develop, Zhejiang household registration seems to have preferential policies, the lake inside is not large, but a lot of seagulls, the scenery is still very beautiful, the entrance ticket is not expensive, passing by can go over to see it!
Talk to the locals that there were no seagulls before, and they didn't know where they flew from when the weather was cold and flew away. However, with the seagulls, the whole lake is also in the air, and tourists also like to play. Stop and go, everywhere is the view.
When we left Lake Kruk and set off for Yadan on the water, we began to enter the legendary no-man's land, especially a section of the road on the side of the road, the mobile phone has no signal at all, fortunately I like to download offline maps, this time I can continue to navigate. The roadside is littered with dead fabrics and protective protective nets at high speeds. The scenery along the way is limitless.
When we set out for Yadan, the Yadan landform that can already be seen everywhere on the roadside, but the Yadan landform on the water is more shocking, and the Yadan landform on the roadside has gradually begun to be enriched, from the beginning of a few small drum bags, to the final big drum bags that can be seen everywhere.
To the water Yadan bought a ticket, who knows about to refund the ticket, seeing the sandstorm coming, the scenic spot is temporarily closed, it seems that there is no fate, only the next time to come here. This rainstorm, sandstorms have met, children in the car is very scared, in fact, this bit of sandstorm is nothing, I prepared a tactical scarf in advance to cover the mouth and nose, the visibility on the road is very low, the sand is flying everywhere.
Water and grass abundant place to have an oasis, we stayed tonight is a hostel, tell the truth hostel I am the first time to stay, the price of 100 a bed, summer vacation this price can be big Chai Dan to find the right place has been very good, the general hotel is the price of a thousand yuan Hanting service.
Say it out you don't believe it, I live in Dachaidan is high reflex, headache is severe, the head is buzzing, I still have a worth buying crowd test report at this time has not been written, in the front desk living room of the hostel to write the report and upload it. Avoid the editor from rushing me to submit the manuscript the next day. The small town inn is the most prosperous inn street in Dachaidan, which is full of hotels and inns, and parking is also very convenient.
Because everyone is more favored by the emerald lake, but also because of the tea card salt lake due to the problem of the time trip, when the tea card was reached at eight o'clock in the evening, the general local attractions are seven o'clock, when many friends recommend the emerald lake, just and the distance between the big Chai Dan is very close, but the road is building a road, from the big Chai Dan to the emerald lake Although only 10KM is less, but the car is a little difficult to drive.
Although the current Emerald Lake is free of charge, it is also necessary to receive tickets to enter, but after entering the scenic spot, you need to buy a ticket to get in and out, in fact, you can not buy it, just turn around from the entrance, but you need to go deep into the interior of the Emerald Lake to take an electric car, the price is not cheap.
To say that the degree of development of emerald lake, even if it is not yet fully developed, but in terms of scale, it is much larger than the tea card, and there are many people, but the scenery of the salt lake is similar, and it is difficult to find a suitable mirror lake to take pictures when there are many people. The most important thing is that children and families like it. Since we still have to go to Dunhuang in the afternoon, today's journey is not far, mainly to enter the whole speed limit in Dunhuang, and the inn owner of Dachaidan has instructed several times that when entering the Dunhuang area, it is necessary to drive strictly according to the speed limit.
Originally planned to go by a trip to Aksai oil town, in fact, I want to go by the way, but unfortunately everyone is very tired, weighed up, only plan to go to Yangguan to go in a pocket, after all, there was a poem that said, the west out of the sunshine for no reason, in fact, Yumen Pass and Yangguan are very close, but really tired, went to the sun I lay in the car to rest, the children and several other peers to go shopping together.
The next stop Dunhuang, is also the trip to the children most want to come to the place, go back to high school, this is a rare period of time do not need to study, on the road has been learned of the test scores and school, the two babies although not in the same high school, but are their own want to go to the school. Good sisters who are genuine.
Dunhuang hotel is not expensive, four-star advance booking is better about 400 a night, the price is still very suitable, we choose to live in the edge of Dunhuang Night Market. Convenient for going out at night to forage.
As for going to the crescent spring, or a few children, my physical investment, for the attractions have no great interest, we first went to the Mogao Grottoes in the morning, returned to the hotel in the afternoon has been 4 o'clock, here is the key to mention, in fact, Mogao Grottoes is not far from Dunhuang City, but we are a month in advance of the reservation ticket, after changing the ticket at the entrance of Dunhuang, first watch 2 3D movies, and then take the scenic bus scenic spot Dunhuang Scenic Area, need to pay attention to the reservation ticket and temporary tickets when the number of queues is much less, relatively relaxed, The price includes two promotional 3D movies and tickets to browse scenic spots together, and if it is a temporary purchase of emergency tickets without the link of watching movies, directly buy tickets to queue up to go to the scenic spot, but I am still glad to buy the reservation tickets, although a little expensive, but save a lot of queuing time, in the sun waiting for the bus feel really tired.
In the scenic spots that have been to many northwestern areas, Dunhuang's facilities and rules are relatively perfect, each group of passengers have a special tour guide to lead the random development of grottoes to watch, it is important to not understand the history, listening to the tour guide explanation is also very good, especially mention that the tour guides are full-time personnel of the scenic spots, the business is skilled, basically each grotto is like a number of family treasures, let me see what is professional.
After returning to the hotel, I just want to lie flat, mainly the little guy does not cooperate, as a companion of the old man can only take her to play below, a few grottoes that want to listen to it are also unable to make the trip, taking the children out is too tired, everywhere you can see the tourists who coax the children.
As for Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring, I really don't want to move, take a shower and eat something and go to the night market at night is not fragrant! Dunhuang Night Market has a lot of people, we specially bought some souvenirs, the price is not expensive, Chinese habit is not to come.
7/23 Day7: Dunhuang - Jiayuguan Great Wall - Suzhangye
Dunhuang to Zhangye journey is not far, but still need nearly a day's trip, the big ring line actually needs to play well at least need to prepare for at least 10 days, and my journey and the journey to go to take 4 days, so overall on the ring line my trip from 10 days compressed in 6 days, to Zhangye is naturally colorful Danxia is indispensable, the last time was 8 years ago.
Dunhuang used to be Zhangye, because of the delay in the Jiayuguan Great Wall Scenic Area, so when I arrived in Zhangye, I did not go to Danxia landform, the next day the soldiers were divided into two roads, I took my daughter and wife to the museum in Zhangye, while the other two drove to Zhangye, we ended at noon and left directly to Lanzhou.
I slept best on this night in Zhangye, and the room rate I set a month in advance had doubled when we went to check in, and during the summer vacation, I booked 175 a day, and the room rate was already 350 a night when I checked in.
7/24 Day8: Zhangye - Danxia Landform - Lanzhou Suzhou
In the morning of Zhangye, because the other two families went to the Danxia landform, our family went to visit the museum of Zhangye, in fact, it is very interesting to see the museum in this kind of city, no one can think that Zhangye such a small city actually has such a long history, like students can go to Baidu to see the history of Zhangye, from the beginning of the Silk Road there has been this place.
Zhangye to Lanzhou actually has a highway, but I chose the most American road 217 national road, in fact, choose G30 Lianhuo expressway is 509KM distance, unfortunately a lot of things happened on the road, resulting in Lanzhou is already 12 o'clock at night.
The choice of this national highway was also opened many years ago, the result was heavy rain and mudslides and landslides, after entering the Dabanshan Tunnel, the front collapsed, you can turn around and take other routes to detour to Lanzhou. Although the grassland of Qilian Mountain is beautiful, the rainstorm and mudslides make the mood all the way, and can only drive all the way to Lanzhou to rest, but this road, mudslides, heavy rainstorms, sandstorms have been encountered, the children are very excited, never seen such a bad natural weather and climate.
7/25 Day9: Lanzhou --------- Xi'an Su Xi'an.
Lanzhou accommodation one night to reach Xi'an, originally planned to go to several universities in Lanzhou to visit, take the children to walk around to see, but unfortunately when the departure is 10 o'clock, accompanied by the elderly, the morning can not get up, procrastination all the way delayed, to Xi'an is night, this time booked is Xi'an's ancient capital New World Hotel.
7/26Day 10:Xi'an Museum Su Xi'an,
Because Xi'an is Monday, many museums are closed, I often come to Xi'an for business, so the desire to visit the museum with children has failed, fortunately, there is a museum that is not closed, just take the children to visit for half a day, it is also worth the trip.
I had a colleague before when he was on a business trip, he had time to go to the local museum to visit, and now the museums in major cities are free to visit, usually there are not many people, in fact, if you have traveled to many cities, you can go to see if you have time, the museum records the historical development and changes of the city.
If you take the baby around, it is best to be a larger child, the small child is always a lot of things on the road, the boss is not the same to avoid a lot of things, but I take the child out to play is always the habit, the eldest daughter has followed us through many cities in China, travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books.
Who knows the weather is not beautiful, and rainstorm, in the afternoon called the car back to the hotel, opened the swimming and eating mode, found a very affordable white deer restaurant near the hotel, because the back of the trip has no emergency, the whole journey is also a successful end, the rest is back to Shanghai 1400KM road, our plan is also to rush back to Shanghai in a day.
In fact, many friends will feel that self-driving for such a long time, not as good as the local car rental, in fact, self-driving has the benefits of self-driving, if there are many people, it is natural to drive cost-effectively, the cost of renting a car is also a lot of money if there are requirements for the model, I go out of the basic or like to drive a big car out, originally planned to rent a GL8, but unfortunately the popular models are basically not rented. Plus the cost of the ticket is not necessarily cheap.
The advantage of driving by yourself is that the time is relatively easy to grasp, of course, the popular city car rental is convenient, I will also rent a car to travel, my Daocheng Aden Mountain and Arshan self-driving tour are all car rental travel. So whether it is an airplane plus a car rental, or self-driving needs to be decided by your own needs.
Odyssey long distance open, comfort is natural needless to say, and the trunk is completely enough for the family to travel, and it is easy to sit full of 6 people. Passengers can lie flat and rest. On the plateau, the natural inhalation of 2.0 is indeed a bit difficult, but there is basically no pressure to open the S gear, and the power of the peer Tuang is much better, but the positioning of the two vehicles is different, and the long-distance self-driving trip is still comfortable for the big car.
Long-distance travel takes time and planning, in fact, the most beautiful are on the road
I prefer to go out as a family, and there are a few years of not going out, the main reason is that the child reads junior high school every year the holiday wife has arranged make-up classes, so in the middle of the years I did not go out, and this year just the child graduated from junior high school, you can relax a little, I asked my daughter where she wanted to go, the daughter said she wanted to go to Dunhuang, then go.
If there is no self-driving experience of students can first consider short-distance travel, especially Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai can adapt to it, many friends around them feel that it is impossible to achieve when they hear about opening a 1000KM, in fact, there is nothing that cannot be achieved, but many people want to try the courage and ideas.
