Snow had covered the whole road, and sky are all underground in a vast expanse of whiteness, distinguish between heaven and earth line. A headlong rush toward the river side of the road torrent, we have no choice but to stop the car on the highway. The distance a donkey pulling a Tibetan old came to us, covered with snow showing his anti-Snob's body, good snow Sheung Figure 1.
Finally Maoxue car forward, the driver and his assistant with a rope pulled wiper, when the plot was thick snow on the pull rope in the car, so that wiper scraping action, good one way, the more difficult environment for the more able to reflect the of the working people of wisdom.
Fortunately, the snow soon stopped, and all the mountains are covered with silver makeup, illuminated by the sun shine, the river is still torrents and persistent, a few eagles before, with the vehicle to maintain the same speed flight. Looking out at all this, my heart also will be the take-off.
In the first melt the snow on the road, showing a surprisingly good this highway, the front is a small temple. The driver brought some goods to the temple, and we get off to visit some temples little one has seen all, a row of houses form a circle, the central filled with wood, snow golden dome of the temple has become more dazzling, filled with Suddenly, just like in the mountains among the leading passers-by light.
12 points to Da Bangda, Banda is the Sichuan-Tibet Southern Line and the Sichuan-Tibet line points north fork, north eastern Tibet City Qamdo pass through Dengqen, Bazing in Nagqu confluence with the Green Line into the Lhasa Zang; Xi Dabo dense, after tangmai natural barrier to the Nyingchi 81 into the town of Lhasa. Sichuan-Tibet Highway (318 State Road) east of Sichuan, Chengdu, Lhasa, Tibet, the west a total length of 2413 kilometers, is China's current longest road. It's a long distance, across mountains and rivers of the public, the construction and maintenance of the dangerous reputation the world, the original construction of this highway, the average expense per kilometer is a warrior. Choose the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to Tibet, which is quite dangerous, but the scenery along the way as much as the rest of the singularity is unmatched by a few lines, especially the Sichuan-Tibet Southern Link staggering. If you want to walk the Brahmaputra, on the southern line of the Sichuan-Tibet Linzhi longer follow the southern route.
Banda snow covered steppe, while the golden grass stretching to the snow again stubbornly above, groups of yaks graze freely in the above so that it demonstrates a unique style. Our efforts in this and the officers were friendly. In fact, this is not a true Banda town, which a few dozen kilometers in the north, the world's highest airport - Bangda Airport is also that. Here is the traffic Divergence, there is a few households have built a small restaurant at the junction as a half-way Inn.
Here there have been cars passing by are going Qamdo or Markam Unfortunately, the car did not go to Basu. We do not want to stay in this small Inn, the three were standing on three junctions hailed. 3:30 finally we stopped into a group of vehicles, containers out of stock, as well as hood. Car Youxiang mountain climbing in the mountains and turn constantly to turn too I have not tell Old and no wonder this is called 92 Po Shan Road. Also in the mountains it began to snow, but fortunately the car before all the clothes to wear, cars have tents, but still cold chills straight fight.
Car suddenly will not move forward, we saw the driver and the assistant busy busy before, it appears the car is bad, and head out hood look, shocked, assistants are holding a flame gun, gun spray blue flame out of a group, facing the tank car grill. I have two of them cried: "Come see the driver set fire to the fuel tank!"
Aide told us: "Do not worry, oil and frozen, as long as you can roast a mixture of business resumed."
We are still a little worried: "will not explode, right?"
Driver said: "This here is a common, high altitude, low temperature, often to do so. And sometimes too cold, but also turn on the fuel tank below a burning tires in order to thaw."
We went off mountain road, although the sky with snow, but still feel safe point to leave the barbecue tank. The wind and snow in the sky and saw the following fade out a few pieces of farmland and houses are really amazing in such a harsh natural environment there are people who live.
Auto can also forward the front off to a goods vehicle, make life difficult for the road is too narrow can be too much snow, slippery and dangerous parking. We would just drive as far as possible to open up the mountain side, the right wheel to step high in the mountains, the whole cars tilted severely to the left, to give the maximum number of cars off the road to the opposite side. Opposite the car slowly come rolling in, firmly stuck to driving cars, carriages friction between the metal blew clank clank sound straight, we are relying on the car mountain Fortunately, the opposite edge of the cliff, but the car driving, there is a a careless or loose stone will fall into an abyss. The people inside the car hold your breath, no hint of the sound issue, one could hear his own heart TOM-TOM Zhitiao, middle-submarine depth charges in the case of an explosion is also much better than this.
The opposite was finally safe to open the car passed, and then we would spit the breath, where the driver is really skilled are bold. Down when stopped snowing, and also out of the sun to roast the hot hood, the air Mende difficulty breathing. Road bumps and hollows, there is no loading of the trunk up and down, we were thrown threw the air then back to the ground. There is no snow covered the dirt and dust from the trucks to each of a gap drilling, turning us from start to finish to build a gray, how much I miss the mountains of snow, although it chattered our frozen.
8:00 arrive Basu, our whole body fall to pieces, and a thick layer of dust to hair dyed gray, and gray from her shoot has a pound. Weather moved into hostels, there is no bathroom and quickly washed his head lying on the bed big sleep.
