Autumn in October, Zijia backpack, something big loop tour Jiuzhaigou (would like to use this documentation to the November 2002 after 1 trip to Jiuzhaigou's friend)
2, Starry Night and hardships in the West Link below in chronological order, our feelings along the way this trip to write about. Because we are self-driving trips, the time completely on my own master, stop-go, so the time and the coaches are not the same.
At 14:16 on October 18, we take the Xian - Chongqing to Chengdu Train 2119. And Chengdu before departure has been a good friend of contact and asked him to rent a Driving Status in Chengdu to help a good Poussin at our disposal. Wanted to borrow a car in Chengdu, after all, is to spend some of the cost of rental, and car rental company's Driving Status in general are not very good. But I asked several friends in Chengdu, able to borrow a car, Beverly, Xiali a class, are not suitable for long wilderness trek. Finally we had in Chengdu, one called "good fortune" of the car rental company rented a Poussin. That's good, eliminating the need for human owed by the cars. Had heard of a car rental is the good fortune to go to Jiuzhaigou, taking into account the dangerous roads of Shu, insisted to the car with a driver can not be. Thanks to his friend's help, finally agreed to the driver of the unworthy. Otherwise, our trip is not really a Zijia You Jiuzhai.
Before their departure, up to the Jiuzhaigou Authority's Web site see a bit the next few days the weather conditions Jiuzhaigou, 19, is a moderate rain, 20, is a moderate rain, 21 showers. At that time I made a depression, how this kind of weather makes playing wow? ! Since this kind of weather to drive to Jiuzhaigou, but fierce lot of wow! But the tickets had been bought, or high-priced ticket brokers buy tickets, do not have to go. Relied on his car several times through the Qinling Mountains of experience, I cheer for ourselves, said: "Shudao is hard, hard road, but Qinling Mountains, right?"
So, I and my wife not hesitate to set out.
Train west through the Guanzhong Plain, rounded out the U-turn in the Baoji among the Qinling-Bashan Mountains. Middle of the night awakens to find car window periods of heavy rain. In Fengxian-stops when I get off looked at the mountains where the temperature significantly lower than the number of Xi'an, it will be, uh, into the fog of gas. I wonder what the weather in Sichuan, where satisfactory end, when the mind is very uneasy, the only way to pray for God eyes open, do not ruin our trip to Jiuzhaigou.
October 19th morning 6:50, the train arrived in Chengdu, half an hour late. As Chengdu's friends went to the temporary emergency Wenjiang, to take our good fortune is the company's Xiao Yang. Chengdu is also at this time it rains, the small bit of Bale. Xiao Yang Jia Yun's drive took us first, Yusha Road, their home in the company, run all the car rental procedures, checking Driving Status at this time is about a 8:00. Xiao Yang few days ago, just returned from Jiuzhaigou to play back, but also driving to go, see we are quite worried about the weather conditions on the console, said: "Chengdu in the rain, Jiuzhaigou there is not necessarily, the drive it wants to be more careful." I hope so it, God bless our trip successful.
Q clear route out of the city, I and my wife first drove to Carrefour supermarket, Carrefour has not yet open for business at this time. Wait for a while, at 9 o'clock into the Carrefour purchase a number of the following days of food, beverages and purified water, in particular, bought three cans, "enhanced Red Bull," for me, refreshing use. Facts have proved that the car is really fuel Meijin Er, people really want to sleepy tired, do not drink Red Bull Piyong roof top using Daoshi ginseng tablet, attentive wife brought a box. His wife also bought a pair of sneakers you can tread water, because we are both wearing the kind of canvas casual shoes, if there are rain Jiuzhaigou, canvas shoes, not the loose. 10:20, we left the Carrefour, the door in his shop and bought a bucket of KFC, "take-away meal the whole family" on the bus, as today's lunch. Interestingly, Chengdu, KFC will send you two packets of chilli powder, which in Xi'an is not.
10:30, we have the car from the Carrefour to open up the underground garage, formal leave the road, kill to Jiuzhaigou.
Out of the city along the way, I was very cautious, completely without the crazy driving in Xi'an effort, leisurely walk followed the vehicle in front, after all, this is in someone else's city, not rash. On the filling into the high-speed after the start speed, speeding cars along the way inspired spray.
11:40, arrived in Dujiangyan. As mentioned earlier, due to unclear instructions identity card so that we had a wrong road, until returning to retrace their steps, it is already around the 12 o'clock. That just the thought of leaving, have been drawing near noon, when will open to Jiuzhaigou wow! ? Can not help but feel a bit annoyed.
Car driving out of Dujiangyan city, on the mountain. This mountain seems to be what is called partridge mountain, this section also seems to be known as the purple ping library that part of the reservoir children. Mountains scene completely different reasons due to rain, mist-shrouded highway, abnormal thick. I open the headlights and fog lights are useless, and the visibility very low. For security purposes, we simply double-bounce light and opened the bar. Sichuan, Shaanxi Province, the mountain seems to Alexander than a lot, hideous face looming in the mist inside, lay in front, so I am a bit depressed. Only to hear his wife sitting next to exclaim: "This is the next white what? My God, is a river! What is this river?" Reminds me of the online travel agency's promotional materials described as "all the way along the Minjiang River and along the enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Minjiang River, "the response said:" This is the Minjiang River. "But these circumstances, where there any scenery to speak of? Rumbling runaway with the Minjiang River is just a thick fog in the even more vague one white only. I only hope quickly to open up this gloomy mountain road.
But speeding is not possible, can only hang two stalls and even a stall in front of the car along with crawled slowly and honestly, many of them Pajero and Jeep Cherokee in these post-open mountain road a good car. On several occasions I have lost its patience, trying to overtake the vehicle in front may be just a dozen left out of the light passing lane in the opposite direction saw the car in front of a lit headlights suddenly fall in. out from the fog is really too dangerous.
It was so scary to know how long snail's OK, clouds began to smeared out, and visibility in a gradual turn for the better, until the time of the next mountain, we gradually accelerated. Possible, and carefully over a couple of cars.
It is commendable that, I found the driver of car was speaking in Sichuan rules, regardless of the road as there is no car, no matter how narrow lanes, basically not moving road occupation. Because the driving here is indeed a very dangerous road occupation, in the opposite direction to open so many coaches coming. The Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, the road is not the case, because not so many tourist vehicles, often in the Qinling Mountains are traveling road occupation. I short-lived fad not change driving habits in Shaanxi, always road occupation, believing that this more secure. Kicking up clouds of his wife constantly reminded me the side: "Do not road occupation, people see you driving a posture, you know that you are in the field."
All the way silent, 14:50 to Dawen Chuan, paid 40 yuan toll entered Wenchuan - Pine fan of the tourist highway. Traffic a little better, nowadays, when the rain stops being so, perhaps to the Jiuzhaigou really does not rain. "I hope tomorrow is a good weather, let us play with the enjoyment of Jiuzhaigou." I quietly prayed.
15:30, arriving Maoxian. Maoxian is clearly a benefit from the small town Jiuzhaigou travel, hotels and restaurants are numerous, and have begun some claimed to be such and such a holiday Villa Hotel up such and such a big place, we may see some selling yak meat and knives shops. The tour is said to Return in general will choose Maoxian as a transit station. We had intended to return, still walking the West Link, so if it is possible to Maoxian lodging, so he arbitrarily chose one looks pretty good hotel, as if what is called Xinmao hotel, inquire a bit into the price, and the answers Yue-night 120. However, when warned of the return in the evening the day after tomorrow when we come to live in when a man looks silly sum of the Jian Xiang said: "Then you pay something now, deposit it." Poling's remark that I resent, when the thought, even if the day after tomorrow night I was in Maoxian accommodated on the red you will never live in this sentence you are here. Xinmao out too, he saw his yard there is a public toilet, by the way go easy a bit. Seen coming out of the gate adorned with a notice to write "This hotel stay to use the toilet only, the external one dollar flat fee for those." I speak, the children earn the money.
We re on the train, ready to go. At this point I looked at my meter and found that a grid has been down more than odometer that this has already gone 192 kilometers. Just in front of a gas station not far from there, I would just drive into the ready to add a little oil. Is responsible for refueling is a thin black woman, evidently of age are not large, 20-year-old look. I asked her how much a liter of 90 # gasoline money, answer is 3.28 yuan. I asked an addition of 90 # gasoline in the Song Phan how much money, she said that is 3 dollars. I was overjoyed and asked her remark seriously? Thin black woman that days draw to a serious oath that true. That being so, why I do not loose fan and then refuel it? I drive the car the oil enough to loose a fan. So I say no fuel to her, and to loose fan plus. Originally thought that the black woman would lean against me a few words, and I struggle for something and did not think she came a hand, "not the best." What logic is that? How can so to speak?
Just when I wondered out to the car filling stations, the This found a tourist bus parked in a tanker docked next to my original. So that, a thin black woman is a snob! Saw the bus opened have come in, we'd love to find ways to let me go quickly, he give a good "big" provides a valuable service to her. Later, when I was refueling Song Phan know, the loose fan of the oil prices are 3.51 yuan.
From the Maoxian out, walk around yo-yo, along the way saw a lot of wearing a blue shirt, pumpkin head like putting a big hat person, must have Qiang person. The Qiang people on the road has no traffic sense, often rushing herd of cattle, sheep and what leisurely walk, either I press the car horn too loudly and never give way. Children can not only follow those cattle and sheep slowly, and find time to accelerate quickly run away. Around 5 pm, arriving Diexi Lake. Roadside has been stopped a tourist bus, stuck on the windshield, "Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Siguniangshan, miyaluo photography Shiri You" sign. A few looked like a photographer of people are supported with tripod and carrying light meter facing the Diexi Lake stretch Kuangpai constantly also exclaimed: "wow, beautiful yo!." We also stopped their cars and took a few pictures, we face the Diexi Lake out for a while God, the first taste of Hai Zi's charm. Wife, said: "how? No white Come? Jiuzhaigou is also good-looking it over here! Quickly let's go!" So looking back, to continue to kill a dream to me in the Jiuzhai.
The way to the Jiuzhaigou, there is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, from the beginning until the Jiuzhaigou Maoxian mouth of the charges along the way toilets are very much more than than the gas station, all fees and charges fifty cents. At first I also think that this phenomenon quite good laugh, other parts of the country along the road where the toilets have seen so many wow? Only later did I gradually realize that this is entirely supply and demand Shi Ran. This road every day do not know how many tourists were rushed to Jiuzhaigou, go to the toilet of course, very strong demand for the. Maoxian once heard that there have been a street toilets, in order to compete on the toilet, "tourists," these charges drivers for passenger cars equipped with toilets and even a red envelope.
Dark sky gradually down, and we continued on our way to open headlights. At this point the traffic is very scarce, and we should open on a very long way to encounter a car, which I feel a bit lonely too. Perhaps it is we got a late start, this time it seems that most of the early morning coach has reached a Mizoguchi. Speaking funny, during the day when cars do not want with other colleagues, has always been over and throw off them; but at night they would rather like to have another car with me before and after the ride. Whenever I see the red taillights in front of a car light, it always made me feel very kind.
Happily, the rain gradually stopped, you can see the sky, floating clouds big duo big duo. Through the window occasionally to see the moon, hazy clouds are now hidden inside, occasionally also like to see at a glance to see these 12 bright stars in the cloud gap between the flash by. Appears to be a good weather tomorrow, no doubt the.
19:15, the weather has been rotten to the car to loose fan. At this time the oil has gone to half of the child table, odometer shows 339 kilometers away. Need to refuel, and then the car rolled into a gas station in the oil. Got off from the outside feels cold, gas stations Daisow is wearing cotton coat, a scarf around the big. Added 31 liters of gasoline, pay 110 per issue. Thought that gas stations here and across the country, as people who make fuel for free to the toilet, no one thought still charges me fifty cents. This is somewhat excessive, and I collected over 100 pieces of oil money, but also for those preoccupied with costs fifty cents go to the toilet do? Outrageous!
In our time of refueling, there is a tourist bus from the Jiuzhaigou also set out to prepare in. refueling. The car down the toilet a lot of tourists. Only the middle-aged woman heard one of them said: "probably another three or four hours will be able to Chengdu." I rely on three or four hours you will be able to open back to Chengdu? Open to Maoxian more like it. How people travel out of a sense of time and distance, there would be no sense of it?
Daisow gas station, said here there are 104 kilometers away from Jiuzhaigou mouth. Think of the famous bow-line bars Ridge section of abnormal and dangerous rumors, I asked her after the road is good to go. Answer is a good walk up to another one and a half hour can be opened up. I think she is probably underestimated the difficulty of driving a mountain at night. Later, the driving experience proves that, in the non-stop towards the mouth of Jiuzhaigou cases, this is still spent on the remaining 104 kilometers of our two and a half hours.
Fill up, 19:30, we continue to get on their progress. On both sides of the road soon began brilliantly illuminated, as if a tourist a street scene, most of the shops are still open for business. Then saw a loose fan of the old city gate, in the spotlights shining Bianti brilliance, filling the center for the state then loose power and prestige. We do not have time to read them, and can only be hanging around a stall slowly from its passing, roll down the window slightly to appreciate a bit.
Fan's brilliant song quickly disappeared behind us, and Poussin again being plunged into the vast darkness. Taking into account the difficulties and dangers will soon enter the bow section of ridge bars, attention must be highly concentrated, I told the wife asked for a two ginseng tablet in its mouth, all while refreshing. After a recount of the votes Office, 7:45 p.m., cars to the Chuanzhusi brightly lit.
This is a loose fan Chuanzhusi under the jurisdiction of a county town, but it lit the magnificent view, just like more than a loose-fan County. When you drive slowly glide Chuanzhusi that a strong commercial atmosphere of the streets, looking at the roads that night shining light box advertising, as well as stately hotels hotel rooms, I seem to trance back to the early break when passing to Shenzhen Bao'an District. Chuanzhusi vehicles parked in a lot of big and small, all across the country, the light I see there are from Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Hubei, Beijing, Guizhou vehicles.
In a three-way intersection hesitated a moment, asking passers clear direction, and we turned around and kill the last paragraph of this trip journey, the dream of Jiuzhaigou is also from us nearer.
Night, such as ink, Shino and fog, the way car-free, and only one lonely Santana Nuzheng our eyes, struggling to split the night before the trip. As already mentioned, over the roads Chuanzhusi after a crash barrier has had no vehicles will lose that protection. Reason may be too lonely, it could be identified earlier in the card Chuanzhusi fooled by that of the reasons, and I actually started to doubt whether his wife to go on the road. So ask for directions twice after another, one in a shop doorway, one in a gas station. Two answers are unmistakably tells us that at the foot of this road is to Jiuzhaigou.
I do not know how far away, a Tibetan architecture, under the irradiation revealed in the headlights out. Came closer, but it was notorious on the Internet about the "Ga microphone Temple." Should not stay long here, make haste to escape better. I felt that night in the temple, Buddha appears to be a false back of my head staring at an ominous tone, who could not help but played a layer of goose bumps.
20:30, passing through Kaka channel classes, the original flat road potholes suddenly become a serious injustice, roadbed was completely turned out, exposing the inside of the pebbles. Speed was forced from 50 km / h down to 10 km / hr. I could not help heart shock, quietly crying. Is the road since then has become like this should do? This is too horrible. Fortunately, the way this terrible Only a small section, about 100 meters around it, then immediately turn the corner onto the flat on the highway.
I am a long sigh of relief, which provides file acceleration, resumed their progress. Vaguely seen not far from there are several points between the lights, like a car taillights. Because it is in the winding mountain road, and the night, such as ink, but also not quite sure which car is behind me or in front of me, only walk read.
20:40, suddenly appeared on the road in front of me eye-popping scenes of shock tongue. The original just to see those taillights are in front of me, a long list of tourist buses are lining up slowly forward, do not know how many cars. I catch up over time, just behind the team the last one, with the team a little bit forward. Finally we found that it is a big truck out of the road, stopped in the road the other side of the land. It is strange, it's four wheels with a neat parallel with the direction of the road, do not look like a washed out, inverted image is slowly opened to that position. A truck parked in the road central, is to prepare it for hanging back road. In the reverse lane, large and small vehicles blocked at least 50 more are in the car waiting for us in this direction all passed only after a further advance.
Think of it is really very lucky, if I am late for a minute, there will be an embarrassing situation as follows: with my car in the same direction all the advance through the accident location too far away, leaving us alone in a car blocked there reluctantly reverse the driveway waiting for dozens of vehicles only after the full adoption of business resumed.
As we slowly drove through the lifting with the team car, his wife beside suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, all the Tibetan people! Good scary呀!!" It is also soon as my scalp tingle Hande, two stocks shake, Tibetans can be seen in my generation, the eyes of ordinary people the impression of how bad.
Originally, we had followed the team, but after a crash site after his wife watching the car window the night in the mountain shadow, strange and asked: "You Look at What was that? White seems to be clouds, but also seems to be snow. "I looked at a moving outward, there is no what to see. I am just anxious inside, so the car parked on the roadside, walking off to first solve the internal problems, by the way look at those mountains of white color in the end what it was. Because the night is too dark, even standing outside the car is also unclear to differentiate between things that the white clouds, or the snow. But in the end, I concluded that it must be snow, because it would not be so hill and dale to covered with clouds, but not only in this mountain there is, in the other peaks no.
At this point, I stood as ink and night among the monastery is surrounded by Looking to the vast distance that a black in the vast expanse of whiteness suddenly understood why the Tibetan holy mountains to snow-capped mountains as a. That night in the snow-capped mountains, obviously gives us a sense of mystery and dignity. It is the throngs, as if being seen through my soul, is there is a wish to go down on their knees in order to forgive the impulse. In my ear, as if there are waves of Tibetan Buddhism in the number of long-horned vaguely ringing, people may feel fear.
Business resumed, we had a team just can not see, and once again plunged into solitude.
20:45, the roads in the headlights of the exposure above the emergence of an identity card, a letter to a few people nervous of the characters - Bow Ridge Road bar classes. "Here shall not be careless, we must focus on spiritual care through", I am remind ourselves. At another with a piece of American ginseng, I carefully drove Poussin, walking very slowly. Turn downhill in a row when, or even hanging a stall car moving forward.
We go very slow, did not expect the team as early as our first go more slowly. 20:52, I again just to catch up with the team, they are an honest slowly next to a snail's OK then. With the bus in a while, I finally lost patience, in determining whether the road is not the case of snow and ice accumulates in a row more than 17 tourist bus. 9:10, but also more than eight consecutive tourist bus. 9:32, again more than four tourist bus.
"This is how the matter?" My heart ponder. Looking back, when we set off from Chengdu has nearly noon, so many tourist buses by us over, can go during the day all those early morning bus stuck on the ridge of the arch bar fragmentation? It stands to reason they are overdue to Mizoguchi had.
In so doing, alone at night by our more than 29 tourist buses there are as many as 50 people by a car passenger basis, just this evening, there were the tourists we encountered about 1,500 people. Alas, if you count the tourists who long to reach Mizoguchi, tomorrow will be the number of people flocking into the ditch wow? ! Jiuzhaigou in late October not to say that has entered the off-season it?
Did not dare think about it and move on. From the continuous downhill road gradually becomes flat up, feeling that came to the valley bottom, then close the Jiuzhaigou should be away from us. In a series of overtaking process, I saw one hanging from Chongqing license Mitsubishi Pajero, but also obediently behind the team slowly forward, and no off-road vehicles hegemony and prestige. I was also dismissed against his wife, said: "how to drive in such a way? Its Pajero, but wow!" And when thereafter we returned to Chengdu from the East Link, the way, was hit by snowstorms night experienced in the mountains Rhododendron this "Speed", I realized retro Pajero is right, people should not be Chengneng election at this time, the place.
9:35 p.m., with my peers only a technical skilled are bold, faster travel speed bus, and its license plate number is also very interesting is the "Sichuan H-0444". In front of the corners there a sign that read "First Shui, certain brand highland barley wine I wish you a pleasant journey." Such signs at each corner consecutive until the "ninth Shui, certain brand highland barley wine I wish you a pleasant journey," then that is a letter to "9 Shui Road Class" signs. I rely on for advertising does not choose a good place!
21:50, vehicles to chapters tie the town, those names in online hotel Ruleiguaner splendid hall one by one appeared in glory among the Chinese, what Gesang, New Jiu Zhai, CPC Summer Palace and so on. As the senior brigade friends say, the whole of China's tourist attractions have not seen such a luxurious hotel, but so many. The roads has also been a number of cruise tourists in 3322, perhaps enjoy the night in the bar.
I know that is not here, Jiuzhaigou mouth, so to continue to drive forward. 10 pm, when the concentration of scattering of the other hotels in the glorious sight of our being, when the gurgling sound of water when floated to our ears, we also saw in the vast darkness, alternating flashing red light Those three exciting, and already familiar characters --
Jiuzhaigou.
First arrived in New York Wang Qiming Jiugen feelings when, as at this moment, I just want to say: "Jiuzhaigou, we have come!"
