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)
An east-west traffic should first into a big loop of the nine Link mileage, fuel, crossing fees, the summary below for other self-drive to the Jiuzhaigou's friends reference:
Mileage of the West Loop: Chengdu: 0KM; Dujiangyan: 55KM; Wenchuan: 154KM; Maoxian: 192KM; Song-fan: 339KM; Chuanzhusi: 355KM; Kaka Ditch: 376KM; Ganhaizi: 408KM; 9 Shui: 414KM; Zhang tie Town: 424KM; Jiuzhaigou Mizoguchi: 431KM.
East of mileage Link: Jiuzhaigou Mizoguchi: 435KM; Jiuzhaigou County: 487KM; Ping Wu: 618KM; Jiangyou: 738KM; Mianyang: 768KM; high-speed entry into the sponge: 785KM; Chengdu-Mianyang Expressway Exit: 878KM; Chengdu: 891KM.
Special Note: Departure from Chengdu, I put a small table odometer Clear homing, the above data is written down by looking at a small table. But the odometer before and after the summary table shows the total mileage difference is 911KM, with small table shows the 891KM produced 20KM error. In addition, after the arrival Mizoguchi, in order to find accommodation places (VIP floor) I twisted my car in the vicinity, so the mileage into Mizoguchi is 431KM, exit Mizoguchi mileage is 435KM. Furthermore, some readings are approaching a certain location and copy down, and some again in a certain location and copy down the exit, so there will be some error. During this period we have a way Dujiangyan wrong, probably will produce the error bar of about 5KM.
The West Link toll: 20 yuan into the filling speed; Qingcheng Bridge: 5 yuan; Wenchuan: 40. Combined total of 65. Which received the Wenchuan Wenchuan to Mizoguchi's tolls, in the pine-fan will recount.
East of toll ring: Jiuzhaigou County: 20 yuan; Ping Wu: 36 yuan; Jiangyou: 8; Chengdu-Mianyang High-Speed: 39 yuan. Combined total of 103 yuan. Which Pingwu passing travelers to Jiangyou a place called horn-ya recount.
Refueling situation: in relation to No. 90 in Xi'an, 2.5 yuan per liter for gasoline, Chengdu is 2.9 yuan, 3.28 yuan Maoxian yes, pine-fan, Chuanzhusi, Mizoguchi were 3.51 yuan, 2.95 yuan Jiangyou yes. Departure from Chengdu, we have high-speed entry into the fuel tank into the sink to fill a total of 51.7 liters 150. The d'asson fan again after the tank to fill a total of 31.3 liters 110 per issue. Since then has had no increased its oil, driven across the border all the way in Chengdu, the table from the oil point of view, just to add the oil run out. In other words, something big loop full 891 kilometers way, we open Poussin about 83 liters of fuel.
OK, an introduction to the only drivers who care about the data, and the following describes what we began the road of common concern, because whether they are self drive or take a tourist bus, long-distance bus, road conditions concerning everyone's lives. Please be assured that a person drove his car for the road feeling much accurate in the car people. The very least, in those we think that there is no scenery and large sections of dozing, I am driving carefully, but face up to. Here, first of all like to thank my wife, these traffic information are all recorded in her hand.
It is no exaggeration to say that the East Link road conditions better than the West Loop, which is probably the East Link toll is far higher than the main reason for the West Loop bar.
Let me talk about the West Loop. From street level view, the West Loop is also considered throughout though flat, but they are asphalt, which is smaller than the East Link on the cement pavement. Because more than 90% before the coach came from the West Link and out of Jiuzhaigou, this road has been long under the weight of a great damage to the road everywhere, large and small patches. And to draw the central reservation line on the road has lost its original line or an arc shape, and became a winding snake-like. In some sections of the road is flat look, it may open up car but Britain was not, Britain was almost straight to the steering wheel to get rid of. This indicates that this road embankment has also been severely distorted because there was a subsidence, or raised areas. The road is narrow, many places just enough to drive two cars side by side, and bend a lot, which has greatly increased the difficulty of driving in the overtaking. We in the West Loop on the road, it often encountered case is just a refueling speed in preparation for more than the vehicle in front, the car had opened into a corner, but corner is very dangerous overtaking, and then had to slow down and to continue to follow the line of the vehicle in front to make snail-like. Or just identify the opportunities for overtaking and in front of the Po out of the corners will be a tourist bus and saw us overtaking road occupation as soon as two headlights Nushe light, I can only forced to re-open back to the original lane to give way to it. As the West Loop on a lot of tourist traffic, so in the corners will be cars and people are frequently encountered things. In general, prior to the Da Wenchuan, driving even the best driver, condition of the vehicles no matter how good it is difficult to open soon, if you have three or more cars in front of the line driving, you will not Yaoda the idea of overtaking, and obediently to follow it wants to. There are two reasons, first, there will be a large number of returns from the Jiuzhaigou tourist bus in another lane on the reverse driving, and second, mountain greenery, rolling. After a situation will be better after Wenchuan, the bus back to Chengdu have been returned, the road is also slightly wider, but until the road next to the Chuanzhusi are equipped with crash barriers, but after a Chuanzhusi crash barriers on the disappeared.
Even more surprising is that the West Link will encounter along the way can only be two-way traffic tunnels, both the level of odd tunneling extremely poor, as if the mountain is used picks on the excavated two the same cave. Out of the tunnels, we found that aside from the lane lines of the two-lane has the gall asymmetry, a wide and a narrow. Really can not figure out in Sichuan come there are still such a tunnel.
West Loop online information that identifies a more standardized way, and we have to tell you is that - on the contrary, from the driver's point of view, not only standardized, but also poor, which is the formation of the East Link, a great deal of contrast. First, those identification card is very small, high to hang over the road, pay attention to see it is not easy to see. I missed several of these identification card, the car was found open to a crossroad of eloquence do not know which way to turn, and had to stop ask for directions. Second, the identification card on the content than the rough, marked only the direction of travel and geographical names, non-standard mileage, but also to dozens of kilometers apart to see the next one only after the identification cards, it is time to drive virtual heart fat, total suspect that the wrong way. Third, some identification cards rather vague, it is at a loss. For example, in Chuanzhusi, according to signs, turn right and then left the road should go to Jiuzhaigou, but we turn right and then left, but after it reached a fork in the road, and this intersection has no signs, had to ask for directions again. Otherwise, on a road sign in accordance with the instructions to turn left, then, when we went to Huanglong in. Another example, in Dujiangyan, in a three-way intersection of unclear identity, we end up the wrong path, open Daotou found to be a called "Yu Leishan" tourist attractions, only U-turn. Return to the road that we are headed in the wrong fork in the road, the Only saw a small sign on the standard of "straight, Aba" message. I rely on, marked a "Aba" also be regarded as a guiding wow? ! Aba so great are you referring to where ah? !
Besides the East Loop. If you do not take into account the higher cost of crossing the road, which is really a good way. Therefore, after the November 1 to enter from the East Loop Tour Jiuzhaigou friends do not have to worry about the safety of this road. We personally driving experience, can be very responsible to tell you, take the east ring than the safety of the West Loop. Of course, if there is no mountain road driving experience, or simply take a passive role is as a visitor, tourist bus to go these two directions, we can not see the difference between East and West Loop. East Link to the whole population only from Jiuzhaigou loess section of road is asphalt beam which, in addition has been to Chengdu Road are of cement. This paved road and no less serious distortion, as the West Loop, I have returned, and did not see the lane lines similar to the extension of twisted Wan. Loess beam is Jiuzhaigou County and Pingwu County at the junction, about 56 km from Jiuzhaigou County. Because when we in the East Loop, on exiting onto asphalt concrete roads, immediately saw the top of the road there is a large hanging signage, the words "Mianyang - loess Liang tourist highway" in the embankment next to the discovery of The first one this trip milestone inscribed "dart 205,56" message. Drivers know where "56" on behalf of the landmark at a location away from the mileage. Soon we can see the inscription "dart 205,57" milestone in the second block. To judge the distance of loess Liang Jiuzhaigou County is 56 km. And on the East Loop at intervals of 100 meters there is a mileage piles. These milestones and mileage and driving piles to bring a great deal of convenience, according to they can go at any time know what the right place. East Loop on the identity card be considered a real specification, large and frequent, marking the contents are very complete, not only driving directions, place names, also marked with mileage. Pavement width than the West Loop to many that can be easily overtaking cars, even without deceleration. Very few cars such a good way to go, really difficult to understand, are probably dozens of blocks in order to save money and that toll bar. If you just from the driving safety point of view, it is strongly recommended to go east loop. Fortunately, starting from November 1 all of the coaches should have entered in Jiuzhaigou. There are some sections of the East ring road is still basically concentrated in the one called the White Horse Pingwu Tibetan Autonomous Township, is that one called the "hydropower five Office" units in repair. However, these sections are not too long, worst section of road is about five minutes can be opened in the past.
It is worth mentioning that the crash barrier on the East Loop, paint a very new very bright, a look that is just Zhuangshang Qu shortly. It is online that the nine new loop installed 200 kilometers of the crash barriers, it should mean is that these, but according to my observation does not seem to 200 kilometers. Column installed in some places merely good, not yet installed fence in some places not simply lay on the roadside of the Yan Er, columns surrounded by a pile of children on the roadside on the children, do not know when a good can be installed. Presumably after November 1 can be fully installed ready now. The crash barrier of these newly installed lights at night was a photo of reflecting light yellow highlights Jiugen like guided driving directions, for driving at night is very useful. We return to Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou night (October 21), crossing the mountain azalea encountered extreme fear, the sky is snow, a time of reduced visibility to five meters below, simply can not see where the road ahead. Thanks to them, crash barriers and the reflected light on the point of debate only way people can faintly direction, lead us out of the gate of hell, the raw material after the words. And then there are the scenery along the East Loop, West Loop look better than some of the road on both sides of the trees planted are structured so that people driving health security.
Would like to remind everyone's attention is, perhaps because the road too good reasons, was driving on this road hand, easy to careless, they might be lead to accidents. We returned along the East Loop, when the cuckoo on the hill has undergone a "Speed", think of it so far, still haunt This is after the words.
Loop 2 and morals along the East and West, the West Loop on the already very commercialized, and some people are not comfortable with the practice; East Loop Although he is a tourist highway, but very few cars from this after a long time, it is still simple and sincere. Of course, the simplicity of folk customs, after the hidden areas along the poverty and backwardness. This will be introduced below.
