The first challenge on the Sichuan-Tibet line is to cross Erlang Mountain.

From Xingou to Luding, it is necessary to cross Erlang Mountain, which is the first challenge that directly hits the soul on the Sichuan-Tibet line.

When riding in Xingou, the most talked about by cyclists is Erlang Mountain, saying that it is high and steep, and the climate is unpredictable. Just like riding Erlang Mountain, there is no dangerous pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line. Therefore, everyone is eager to try, determined to ride on Erlang Mountain and lay confidence in winning any subsequent challenges!

Out of the new ditch, I rode on the journey of climbing Erlang Mountain. The mountains and rivers are dense, the bridges are heavy with flowing water, the peaks and valleys are quiet and the smoke is clear. Although it's the first time I've encountered a 20-kilometer uphill, I'm not in a hurry to reach the top. Stop to take pictures when you encounter strange scenery, which not only achieves the purpose of rest, but also savors it.

It is said that mountains should be majestic from a distance, and water should be fun from a close look. Although there is no chance to overlook in the deep mountains, the noise of running water can nourish the soul and penetrate the soul. Sichuan-Tibet Line is a big stage for Woong San and Lishui to play natural symphonic poems. Why not enjoy it when crossing?

Tired? The answer is yes. However, you should always understand that you are not just riding, but just riding to turn yourself into a note and participate in the performance of natural symphonic poems played by mountains and rivers. Therefore, don't lose your soul on the way because of the speed of spelling, so as to keep the notes fresh and keep up with the rhythm of natural symphonic poetry!

We set off from Xingou at seven o'clock in the morning. When we set off, we learned that the Heart Travel Alliance Inn had delivered our luggage to the next stop, Luding, for free. We only brought raincoats and rain pants, so it's very easy to go into battle lightly. Around noon 12, we rode to the tunnel entrance of Erlang Mountain. A large group of happy riders, men, women and children, expressed their joy in defeating Erlang Mountain in their own ways. Cyclists have seized the favorable terrain and filmed the Erlang Mountain Tunnel. Some cyclists even sang "Er Ya Yao Erlang Mountain, how high it is ..."

Hehe, if everyone knows that Erlang Mountain is only the most inconspicuous mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet line, because the altitude is only 2 199 meters, will everyone still be so excited? Compared with the 12 mountain encountered in the future riding, Erlang Mountain is a bit vulgar, fart.

An old man conducted the scene and said that the temperature would be lower all the way down the mountain after riding Erlang Mountain Tunnel. He suggested that everyone put on raincoats and rain pants, so everyone put on raincoats and rain pants one after another. The old man gave the order and filed into the tunnel.

After passing through Erlangshan tunnel, the temperature is not low and the downhill is not cold. Everyone took off their raincoats and rain pants again. I stand in the best scenic spot of Erlang Mountain, and look around, the mountains are boundless, the mountains are full of moon shadows, and the smoke is curling up; Clouds across the sky, roads around cliffs; Overlooking the valley, the Dadu River comes into view, winding like a dragon, wandering between heaven and earth. ...

Hu Ming and I rode all the way down the hillside to Luding County and arrived at Luding Heart Travel Inn.

It's still early, and the cold seems a bit serious, so I bought a box of Gankang, drank the medicine and walked to Luding County with Hu Ming. The turbulent Dadu River divides Luding County into three parts. Because there is no big square, there are people dancing square dance in the spacious streets.

Arrive at Luding Bridge, an iron cable bridge built in Qing Dynasty, which spans the banks of Dadu River. During the Long March of the Red Army, it was a miracle in the history of war to fly to Luding Bridge and get rid of the enemy's encirclement and interception.

Visiting Luding Bridge, we got tickets for 10 yuan. Many cyclists lined up and got on the Luding Bridge. As we walk, we think about the fearlessness of our ancestors and cherish the hard-won happiness.

The other side of Luding Bridge seems to be a place for revolutionary education. At the foot of the mountain stands the head of a Red Army soldier.

On one side of Luding Bridge is a big square. Many people jumped in a big circle in the pot restaurant in Tibet, and some tourists followed, but the movements were clumsy and made people laugh.

Back to my residence, the Guizhou girl I met in Xingou was the last to ride to Luding, and she didn't have the strength to go shopping. Just like yesterday, we had dinner together.

Tonight's Luding Heart Travel Inn is very lively. More than 20 riders are talking and laughing, and people come and go around the clock.
