Turn around the mountains, around the water, around the White Pagoda

Mountains have gods, water has spirits, and people have faith

The old Tibetan driver Qiu Mingshan’s car god is still drifting Crossing the bend

Highland barley wine, butter tea, Tibetan yogurt

Yak meat, highland barley cake

Handsome Tashi and Dolma

Asphalt roads as flat as ribbons

Continuous winding mountain roads

Cycling, hiking, and worshiping

I believe this is indeed paradise

I’m so glad I came here by bike for the first time

Only trekking with your own sweat is the most sincere respect for this land

When exhausted It takes all the energy to see every inch of the wonderful scenery that is so precious and deep in my mind

Re-walking the G318 Chengdu to Litang section again

Memory is where I hide on the roadside I can point it out to Brother Zhao Le if I urinate or defecate anywhere, but the older brother will just say it’s dirt with a disgusted look on his face.

I looked at these slopes and often thought about how I climbed these slopes, and then I was moved to tears. What really impressed me most was the half-way ride before the end of the ride on Batang Road. On the way to Litang, I could clearly remember where I rode, where I stayed, and even where I had lunch every day. Looking at the records, I can’t remember where I started and where I arrived on this day. Maybe it’s the novelty of the first half, maybe it’s the leisurely riding in the first half, maybe it’s the second half that’s just about rushing, maybe it’s the place names in Tibet that are hard to remember.

There is an extra prayer wall at the Zheduo Mountain pass. I didn’t remember it last year. It seems to have been renovated like Dongda Mountain. It was raining all the way back and forth and there was no parking.

The cement guardrail on a section of the road from Xiangkezong to Kazila Mountain is painted with music scores. If my elder brother hadn’t pointed it out to me, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all. I must have lowered my head and climbed too seriously last year, or I was attracted by the scenery in the distance and didn't care about what was painted on the cement guardrail. I thought they were all the same pattern.

I wanted to look for the words written on the wall before crossing the Litang Tunnel last year, but when the car passed by, I didn't find the wall. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop and look for it.

There are many more Chinese characters on the hillside than last year. In the past, there were only "Long Live the Communist Party", but now the hillside is made like a banner, saying "Thanks to the Party", "Follow the Party" and "Strive for a well-off society" There are piles of slogans, and I don’t know why. I always feel like a certain party is forcing itself to stand shoulder to shoulder with God.

The weather along the way was not very sunny, there were not many blue skies and white clouds, and there were more clouds and mist. Although the mountains and rivers do not look as magnificent as the blue sky and white clouds, in the words of my elder brother, I have seen another kind of 318. Among the Brahma travelers passing by the observation deck, none of the shops were open to sell milk tea and coffee. It was very prosperous last year. Breakfast is still the standard from last year, including steamed buns, porridge, pickled mustard, and eggs.

I originally wanted to re-write my 318 cycling trip a few months ago. I didn’t want to write down a running account and re-write my feelings for each section of the journey, but when I wrote it, I felt like I was starving to death because of the twists and turns and mountains. After that I couldn’t write anymore because it started to look more and more like a running account (crying).

Even though I have climbed over 5,000 altitudes by bike, I still can’t bear to ride up and down in the car. The dizziness caused by the rapid change in air pressure is the slightest symptom of high altitude sickness.

There are still many pushcarts on Erlang Mountain, Zheduo Mountain, Kazila Mountain, and the Eighteen Bends of Tianlu. I also saw more girls on this road. Sitting in the car, I really wanted to shout cheers to them, but the window glass was too thick to convey it.

There were also cyclists passing by who cast disdain at the tour bus (laughing). But he didn’t know that I really wanted to get off the car and say, big brother, I’ll ride with you for a while.

There are also uncles and aunts taking photos at the pass who use their cars to take photos and show off.

In Aden, I met three men who were riding bicycles from Chengdu to Daocheng and commented on the girls riding 318. The girls riding Sichuan and Tibet are definitely better than the weakest men. They are the weakest on this road. Definitely still a man. I feel it makes a lot of sense!

Yaks who are grazing with their heads down, I really envy you that you don’t get cervical spondylosis!

When I went to Licheng last year, it was the time of "From "Your whole world is passing by" was in theaters. At that time, I had heard of the name Daocheng Yading even though I had neither read the novel nor watched the movie.

There is a three-way intersection before entering Litang. The left side points to Daocheng and the right side points to Litang County. Looking from afar, the road to Daocheng is straight and smooth, like a guide from God calling me. At that time, I thought There was always a time when I wanted to go from Litang to Daocheng. Unexpectedly, I would be here a year later, even though it was just by car.

I read the novel in October last year. When the navigator of Mao Shiba sounded in Daocheng, it was really heartbreaking.

"I passed by your world, but you just passed by each other's world."

Once a place is filled with thoughts, it will become a place that people yearn for.

They pointed to the piece of grass and said, look, that should be the place where Mao Shiba proposed to Li Zhi. It doesn’t seem as beautiful as in the movie.

Having not watched the movie so far, I seem to feel the need to catch up on the scenery in the movie.

Aden has three sacred snow mountains and three sacred lakes, which are all called seas. Small lakes formed by the melting of snow mountains. I jokingly said that these are just small puddles. Am I offending the gods? Woolen cloth. The sacred mountain also has zodiac signs. This is the first time I have been so close to the snow-capped mountains. I just didn’t have enough time to visit Chonggu Temple.

Having probably seen Yamdrok Yongcuo, I was not surprised by these three seas, but the holy water is still clear and translucent, peaceful and tranquil, and crystal blue. It may also be due to the weather. The sky was filled with clouds and fog, and the five colors of the legendary Five Color Sea were not seen. Because of time constraints, we only went to two lakes. The three seas at an altitude of 4,600 absorb the essence of heaven and earth and are guarded by three snow-capped mountains. How can we not think they are sacred!

In the scenic area, we once again got into the car of an experienced Tibetan driver. Tourists couldn’t bear the motion sickness and said that the master You drive slower, the master said we have fewer cars here and more people. We are in a hurry. Just hold on. There is a bag. I guess the master's inner joke is that you actually asked me to drive slower. Is this still driving? I can't control myself. How much squeeze? The old Tibetan driver of the electric car in the scenic spot had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on shifting gears the entire time, even when cornering. When a car comes from the opposite direction, you can tell whether the driver inside is Tibetan or Han by looking at the speed at which it turns the corner.

I stayed in Xinduqiao on the first night. It felt like I was back in Xinduqiao, the place of destiny. I told my elder brother that last year we almost took the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line 317 but because Deshun dropped his cell phone and walked back to 318. I specially went to take a photo at the entrance of Tonghuali, where I stayed for three nights last year. It was also the place where I lived the longest besides Lhasa last year. However, it looks very deserted this year, and the Kelsang flowers in the yard are not blooming. I don’t know. Where is the affectionate boss? There are a lot of bicycles parked at Feideng's door.

The tour guide in the car said that hiking and biking are cheap tours. Maybe most people think so. However, in my eyes, hiking and biking cost more time and money. , and it is more difficult and cannot be said to be a poor trip.

When the elder brother was buying equipment from Decathlon in Chengdu, he met a fellow countryman who spent two months hiking from Jiangsu to Chengdu. Then he continued walking 318, which made the elder brother want to follow him. The pure hiking comparison Traveling alone is much more difficult and may take another three months.

The charm of Tibetan areas is that when you come here, you feel like you have been here all the time. The next day, the people in the car had the illusion that they had been here for a long time. Maybe they could get up. The day has become longer. It is more likely that the scenery and beliefs here make people forget the noisy and glitzy world. Although I am a person without faith, perhaps it is precisely because of my lack of faith that I am obsessed with the power they gain from faith.

Perhaps, love is also a kind of faith.

The local Tibetan female tour guide said that when a family has money, the first thing they do is not to deposit in the bank, but to donate merit to the temple, and then the living Buddha will give a sutra basin (we thought it was a gold basin, but it is actually The sutras (the sutras with sutras on them) were made of copper), so the entire wall of the house was filled with sutra basins. Then the temple will use the money donated to support the lonely elderly people who are unable to work, such as nursing homes. Her father spent three years on pilgrimage, and it seemed it was time to go back and watch "Kang Rinpoche". I like to see their handsome faces with natural colors, and their bodies are as tall as their altitude. However, this Tibetan guide used to learn beauty care and his skin was very fair and he lost his Tibetan beauty.

No matter how beautiful the photos, videos or books are, it is better to experience the local customs and customs here by yourself, and everyone’s feelings are different. They will say that if you eat too much yak meat, you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach and eat less (yak meat can be added in an unlimited amount). They will say that if you like it here, then stay, and that Tashi is not married and Dolma is not married. (Tashi represents a boy, and Dolma represents a girl, so suddenly I feel like I can’t call that Tashi’s younger brother directly; cover my face;). The scent of incense from the Buddhist hall wafted from the lama's body. I passed by behind me. Before I saw him, I smelled his fragrance first. When I turned around, I saw that it was indeed the lama. Although men are still superior to women here, Dolma is the one who works in the fields and drives yaks on the road. A woman has to go to work in the fields the day after giving birth to Dolma, and she can only rest for a week after giving birth to Tashi. You may also see these in books, but they are not as impressive as those told by Tibetans themselves.

The second 318 refreshed some memories and gave me different gains and feelings.

The first time I came, I was sweating.

The second time I came, I shed tears.

Thanks to Brother Zhao Le for taking the lead, even though he shriveled up in the afternoon.

Daocheng Yading

Because of you, this place is extraordinarily beautiful

Because of losing you, this is Shacheng

When the journey ends

Stories also have to end

And you
