Meet Mr. Yu

On April 26, Batang went to Zuogong, walking on a dangerous road
Yesterday I went into Tibet.
From Batang along the mountain road, drive dozens of kilometers to the Jinsha River Bridge, the east of the bridge is Batang in Sichuan, and the west of the bridge is Mangkang County in Qamdo region of Tibet. At the junction of Sichuan and Tibet, I met a lone ranger from Shanghai motorcycle, borrowed a motorcycle as a prop, and left a souvenir.
Borrow a motorcycle as a prop and take a photo of the Jinsha River Bridge.
Today's road is extremely challenging, Batang to Zuogong is one of the notoriously dangerous roads of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line, the road is potholed and rugged, the mountain slope is steep and sharp bends, this is the most difficult road for us to enter the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line. In addition to their own driving skills, they also need to be very patient. From time to time, there will be a small blockage, and sometimes the car will really be calculated in inches. It took nearly ten hours to walk 260 kilometers from Batang to Zuogong.
From time to time, there will be a small blockage, and sometimes the car will really be calculated in inches.
However, the beautiful scenery along the way can forget all the fatigue: the famous Jinsha River Bridge and the roaring Jinsha River through the mountains, the Jueba Mountain Pass to enjoy the plateau scenery, the Dongda Mountain Pass at 5130 meters above sea level on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, as well as the Tibetan pastoral scenery of Laou Village and the tragic story of the Zhuka Bridge on the Lancang River......
It's worth it!
On April 27, Zuogong went to Baju
The steep mountains and valleys, wide grasslands and majestic snow-capped mountains from Zuogong to Basu in the Qamdo region of Tibet change from time to time.
There are a few things to recall:
Seventy-two turns of the Nu River, the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line is wrapped around the Yela Mountain of more than 4,600 meters at the pass like a golden belt, and the roaring and rushing Nu River is in the canyon. This is a famous spot on the Sichuan-Tibet line.
Nu River Bridge. There's a tragic story here.
Bai Yicuo. A small lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains, like an emerald left in the world by Nuwa mending the sky. It's like a fairyland.
Ranwu Lake. A dammed lake formed naturally by landslides, which is constantly replenished by ancient glaciers, it is also the source of the Palung Zangbo River. Ranwu Lake is divided into upper lake, middle lake, lower lake, generally take the Sichuan-Tibet line in the lower lake to check in, in fact, when you go to the intersection of the 318 line and the Bingchacha Yunnan-Tibet line, turn left and turn into the Bingchacha line and walk about four kilometers to the middle lake, it will give you a greater surprise.

April 29 117 kilometers away, half a day let us experience the four seasons
Yesterday (April 28), I entered Bomi County in Nyingchi Prefecture along the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line. Today, I went to explore the "last secret place in the world" one by one.
Medog is a county in the Nyingchi region, located in southeastern Tibet, where the Yalu Zangbo River flows through it to India. Medog was also the last county in our country to have a road, and it was not until 2013 that the 117-kilometer-long Medog Highway was opened to traffic after 38 years of construction.
You need to apply for a border permit to enter Motuo, and there is a government certificate hall in Bomi, which is quite convenient. Due to the narrowness of the highway in some places, the traffic management department has adopted the measure of double number in and single number.
The car drove along the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line out of Bomi for a while, began to enter the Motuo Highway, and soon passed through the highest point of the day, the Galong Temple at an altitude of 3800 meters, at this time there was a white expanse between heaven and earth, the distance was a snow-capped mountain glacier, and the road was lined with snow walls several meters high. From here, all the way downhill, sometimes with constant S-bends, sometimes muddy and wading. Passing through the Garonla Tunnel, the scenery on the side of the road began to change rapidly, just on the snow-capped mountains, after a while the car drove in the primeval forest, the vegetation is dense, all kinds of wildflowers are in full bloom, and the large and small waterfalls rush down into the Brahmaputra River at the bottom of the valley. Further down, the pink and yellow wild cuckoo began to meet our eyes, and the teammates in the car began to argue after being excited, is this a cuckoo? How is it different from what we used to know? tall and wilder.
The car continued to go downhill, and the friends in the car had changed from arguing to exclaiming, and patches of banana trees began to appear in the towering black pine forests on both sides of the road, which was like a tropical rainforest. The Brahmaputra River is like a giant dragon coiled in this deep mountain canyon, and the sound of waves can be heard from time to time...... Turning a pass, there is a high mountain terraced field, I don't know whether it is the people of the Menba or Lhoba tribe who are planting rice in the field, and on the hillside is a piece of tea plantation, which is the familiar scenery of the Jiangnan field.
Half a day through the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter change in the 117 kilometers of distance. The altitude drops from 3,800 to 200 meters at the bottom of the canyon in just over three hours, from snow-capped mountains and glaciers to tropical rainforests. In the morning, it was still 34 degrees Celsius cotton clothes, and at noon, it was a short-sleeved T-shirt walking slowly under the 278 degrees sun.
This is Metuo, a mysterious town in the eastern Himalayas. This is the Motuo Highway, magically changing spring, summer, autumn and winter. Of course, Motuo is much more than that, and only when he is in it can he slowly explore.
In this life, I must drive the highway in Metuo!
As you wish.
There will be a lot of unexpected encounters during the trip. Last night, in a small restaurant called "squad leader" in the border town of Metuo, I met two groups of Nanjing people, who met old acquaintances in other places and toasted each other, which was very lively.
This morning, I was about to go to the Mirage Observatory in Motuo to watch the clouds, and unexpectedly met Mr. Yu at the back collapse waterfall, Mr. Yu's name is Yu Minhong, and he has a small company called New Oriental. His assistant said he was doing a show. We left the back collapse waterfall, turned around and met again at the mirage observation deck, and I shouted: Mr. Yu, we are fellow countrymen. Teacher Yu replied: Hello. Being in a foreign land, the villagers saw that the villagers did not have tears in their eyes, and said hello to each other, but it also showed the elegant temperament of Mr. Yu, a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River.
On the way from Motuo to Bomi, we and Mr. Yu's huge convoy staggered again. On this more than 100-kilometer road, we are looking at the changing scenery, and they are looking at business opportunities?
