Yongsheng, what's the weather like today
I have stayed indoors for a long time and want to go to a wide and quiet place. After some discussion, we decided to travel to Dawa Mountain, Jinkou River, Leshan, Sichuan. Sichuan people all know that it is delicious, and the fruit is big, sweet and cheap. For us foodies, this place is simply a "paradise", and eating and drinking on the road is absolutely beautiful.
Dawa Mountain is known as "the most magical natural park in the world" with beautiful environment. It is said that Dawa Mountain Scenic Area has dense jungles, clear springs and flowing water, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. In spring and summer, azaleas are everywhere, which is very beautiful, while in autumn and winter, it is a beautiful and quiet snowy area. With luck, you can see layers of clouds when you climb to the top of the mountain. Considering various factors, we chose my Ford Explorer as the "General Commander" of road trip this time.
To be honest, Ford Explorer go on road trip was chosen mainly because of its safety and reliability. As the king of medium and large SUVs in the world, Ford Explorer has a strong historical charm. Thirty years ago, explorers created a new category of modern luxury SUV and redefined SUV, which marked the transformation of SUV from professional function to comfortable and multifunctional family car that consumers can afford, making SUV popular all over the world. In June 2020, the sixth generation of explorers were introduced to China. It inherits the excellent driving and control genes of Ford brand, and has become recognized as "the only longitudinal rear-drive land yacht of the same class" inside and outside the industry, realizing three technical advantages of linear power transmission, front and rear axle balance weight and high-strength body, and demonstrating the driving and control confidence of "all roads are my way". It can be said that regardless of performance or mature market experience, Ford Explorer makes us feel very at ease.
Ready to go, it is essential for friends to send pictures.
After confirming everything, we packed our things and set off! There is a saying that when the weather is good in go on road trip, the mood will really get better. During the two days we came out to play, the weather was fine, neither too hot nor too cold, and it was very comfortable. Along the way, several of us ate, drank and slept, and we didn't feel tired at all. Seeing the beautiful scenery, we stopped to make a card and take a photo. We stopped and walked, happy as teenagers.
Having said that, I need to praise my Ford Explorer, whose face value is awesome enough and his photos are really unique. The combination of lighthouse LED headlights is overbearing and sharp, and it is very advanced at first glance. Sea-level suspended LED fog lamps have a natural sense of science and technology. The chrome-plated decorative strip under the fog lamp is also a must, just like the waves on the sea level, and the atmosphere is fashionable. I like the design of the big hood very much, which is super cool with me. It's a hit-and-run blockbuster, and it doesn't need pictures at all!
This journey is not long, but because of our curiosity, it only took four or five hours, and we spent seven hours! You know, Ford Explorer's navigation system can set three waypoints. Before leaving, I found that there were many places where online celebrities took pictures, so I added several passing points. Not to mention, there are several places that are really suitable for taking pictures.
Comfort is the most important thing to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Thanks to my little friend "The Fairy Guide", he led us to the farthest and most circuitous road and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that others did not see. Fortunately, the scenery of Dawa Mountain is really amazing. With the singing of birds and the jumping of squirrels, we finally reached our destination before 2 pm.
Here, I want to remind you that when you arrive at a strange place, even if someone around you tells you that he has been here, you'd better follow the navigation honestly. Problems are really a waste of time. I said that my SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system has never missed a mistake in navigation. Speaking of Sichuan, how can it be "stupid"?
Tip: About 8km from Jinkou River to Ebian, you can see a bridge collapsing. Go straight to the left for 20 kilometers and you will reach Dawa Mountain. Please don't make mistakes.
There is a 10 km rotten road from Dawashan to Huangmu Town. Other sections are cement roads or oil roads, and the road is very narrow. When driving, we are always careful, for fear of any accident. I've never taken this bad road to and from work. Walking this time, I feel quite novel. I thought it would be a little bumpy, but I didn't expect it to be fine. I have to praise that Ford Explorer, the 50:50 balance weight of the front and rear axle, and the ultra-sensitive lightweight aluminum alloy front and rear suspension are really awesome!
Enjoy the journey, any place is the most beautiful scenery.
Because I was in a hurry in the afternoon, I went directly to Wuchi at the foot of Dawa Mountain and bought wild bamboo shoots in the mountain. They are super delicious and fresh, and the recommended index is five stars.
The scenery here is really unique, the air is fresh, there are mountains and water, and there is no need to say or do anything here, and the soul has been washed, and the title of "natural oxygen bar" is well deserved.
Climbing the mountain with other passengers for several hours is tiring, but it's worth it. I can't feel the carefree feeling of sweating for hours in the community. This is a gift from nature.
After going down the mountain, we came to Shunhe Village. Shunhe Village is a bright spot as the "facade" of Dawa Mountain. Named after the river that flows along the river, it has also become a paradise that has attracted much attention because of the construction of the Yi new village. The architecture here is very distinctive, and the combination of western Sichuan houses and white walls and tiles makes people fall in love at first sight.
The most famous food here is peasant tofu pudding rice, a chicken for three people and sausages made by running mountain pigs. Tofu pudding rice is very unique. The softness of tofu pudding hits the sweet white rice, and the tip of the tongue is trembling when it goes down. Running mountain pig barbecue is worth a try. Delicious and delicious. I can cook three bowls of rice directly with it.
We didn't book a hotel at night, so we slept in the car. Because there are not many of us, three people, sleeping in the car is completely enough. Ford Explorer has three rows and seven seats, and the cockpit space is nearly 6 square meters, which is comparable to a small RV. Sleep two in the back row and one in the front row. That's fine. It is worth mentioning that the Ford Explorer's seat also has a heating function. It is really useful to heat it when it is cold at night.
Full of blood, another brand-new day.
The next day's trip is basically eating, drinking and shopping. I want to go fishing, but I'm afraid we'll eventually bring the fish back and the fish will die before we get home. Think about your fishing skills again, and finally give up.
I ate Yongsheng bacon at noon, which was fat but not greasy and super delicious. I also ate local wild vegetables and stewed fish. This fish is slippery and delicious, which is really different from the fish I usually eat. If you plan to come to Dawa Mountain, you must try stewed fish!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, we packed our bags and returned. Different from the last bad road, this time I was much bolder and experienced Ford Explorer's "six models and four wits" terrain management system. There is no need to worry about vehicle skidding at all, and the experience is super strong. I'm not ashamed of narrow roads. I controlled the throttle to open directly, and it was very enjoyable all the way.
We didn't waste time on the way back, didn't stop all the way, and went straight to our destination. At this time, I finally felt the strong power of Ford Explorer, with super accurate acceleration, just right turning, silky shifting and strong driving control. I have to say that the powertrain of Ford's fourth-generation EcoBoost2.3T engine and 2.3T+ 10AT transmission is YYDS!
During this trip to Dawa Mountain, we had both joys and sorrows. I was very happy to see the beautiful scenery and eat delicious food, but unfortunately the time was wrong, I didn't see the sea of clouds, and I couldn't have a picnic and camp. I hope I can make up for these regrets the next time I drive Ford Explorer to Dawa Mountain.
