Meet Ford explorers and feel the beautiful winter scenery of Dawa Mountain in Jinkou River.
As a travel enthusiast, nothing makes me happier than traveling! At the end of the year, I was so busy every day that I finally had a few days to rest, so I was a little wasted at home. Taking advantage of the fine weather these days, I invited several "donkey friends" who often travel together to start the first go on road trip in winter!
after staying indoors for a long time, I want to go to a wide and quiet place. After some discussion, we decided to travel in Dawa Mountain, Jinkouhe, Leshan, Sichuan. Everyone in Sichuan knows that there are many delicious foods, and the fruits are big, sweet and cheap. For us foodies, it 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 a beautiful environment. It is said that there are dense jungles, clear springs and flowing water, and beautiful flowers in Dawa Mountain Scenic Area. In spring and summer, there are azaleas everywhere, which are very beautiful, while in autumn and winter, it is a beautiful and quiet snowy field. If you are lucky, 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 "main commander" of go on road trip.
To be honest, go on road trip, a Ford explorer, was chosen mainly for 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 the SUV, marking the completion of the transformation of SUV from a professional functional model to a comfortable multi-functional family car that consumers can afford, making SUV popular all over the world. In June, 22, the sixth generation of explorers were introduced to China. It inherits the excellent driving 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: linear power transmission, front and rear axle balance counterweight and high-strength body, and demonstrating the driving confidence of "all roads are my roads". It can be said that regardless of performance or mature market experience, Ford Explorer makes us feel very at ease.
Get ready to go, and it's essential for friends to send pictures.
After all the matters are determined, we will pack our things and set off! There is a saying that when you travel by car in good weather, your mood will really become beautiful. During the two days we came out to play, the weather was very good, neither too hot nor too cold, and it was very comfortable. Along the way, several of us ate, drank, played and slept, and didn't feel tired at all. Seeing the beautiful scenery, we stopped to make a card and take a picture, and stopped and went, happy as teenagers.
Speaking of which, I need to praise my Ford Explorer. His face is so handsome that he really takes pictures. Lighthouse LED headlight combination is overbearing and sharp, and it is very advanced at first glance. The sea-level suspended LED fog lamp has 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 large engine cover very much, which is super in line with my cool temperament. It is a blockbuster with one shot, and there is no need for a picture at all!
this journey is not long, but because of our curiosity, it only took four or five hours, but we spent seven hours! You know, Ford Explorer's navigation system can set up three waypoints. Before we set off, we found that there were many places for online celebrity to take photos on the road, so we added several passing points. Not to mention, there are several places that are really suitable for taking pictures.
It's most important to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Thanks to my little friend, "Fairy Guide", who led us to the farthest and most circuitous road and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that others didn't see. Fortunately, the scenery in Dawa Mountain is really amazing. With the singing of birds and the jumping up and down of squirrels, we finally arrived at our destination before 2 pm.
I'd like to remind you that when you arrive in a strange place, even if someone around you tells you that he has been here, you'd better follow the navigation honestly. It's really a waste of time to go the wrong way. I said that my SYNC+ Zhixing infotainment system has never missed a mistake in navigation. How can it be "stupid" when it comes to Sichuan?
Tip: About 8km from Jinkou River to Ebian, you can see a bridge falling. Go straight to the left and go up the mountain for 2km, and you will reach Dawa Mountain. Please don't go wrong.
There is a 1-kilometer rotten road from Dawa Mountain to Huangmu Town. Other sections are all cement roads or oil roads, and the roads are very narrow. When we are driving, we are always careful and careful, and we are afraid of any accidents. Usually, I have never walked this bad road to and from work. This time I walked, and I felt quite novel. I thought it would be a little bumpy, but I didn't expect it to be okay. It must be praised that Ford Explorer, the 5:5 front and rear axle balance counterweight and the hypersensitive lightweight aluminum alloy front and rear suspension are really awesome!
Enjoy the journey, and any place is the most beautiful scenery
Because of the hurry in the afternoon, we went directly to Wuchi at the foot of Dawa Mountain Mountain and bought wild bamboo shoots in the mountain. They were super delicious, fresh and tender, and the recommended index was five stars.
The scenery here is really unique, the air is fresh, there are mountains and water, and you don't have to say or do anything here, so your mind is washed. The title of "Natural Oxygen Bar" is well-deserved.
I climbed the mountain with other passengers for several hours, which was tiring but worthwhile. I can't feel the carefree feeling of sweating for many hours in the community. This is a gift from nature.
After going down the mountain, we came to Shunhe Village. As the "facade" of Dawa Mountain, Shunhe Village is a bright spot. It is named after the river that runs along the river, and it has also become a paradise that has attracted much attention because of the construction of Yi's new village. The buildings here are very distinctive, and the western-style houses in western Sichuan are combined with white walls and tiles, which make people fall in love at first sight.
The most famous foods here are peasant tofu pudding rice, one chicken for three meals and bacon sausages made from 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 chattering when it goes down. Running mountain pig barbecue is worth a try. It's delicious and delicious. I can cook three bowls of rice directly with it.
at night, we didn't book a hotel, so we slept directly 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, which is completely OK. It is worth mentioning that the Ford Explorer's seat also has a heating function. It is really very useful to heat it when it is cold at night.
Full of blood, it's a brand-new day.
The next day's journey is basically eating, drinking and shopping. I wanted to go fishing, but I was afraid that we would finally take the fish back and the fish would die before we got home. Think about your fishing skills again, and finally give up.
at noon, we ate Yongsheng bacon, which was delicious but not greasy, and was super delicious. I also ate local wild vegetables and stewed fish. The fish was smooth and delicious, which was 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 will pack our bags and return home. Different from the last bad road, I was a lot bolder this time, and I also experienced Ford Explorer's "Six Models and Four Intelligences" terrain management system. I didn't need to worry about the vehicle slipping at all, and the experience was super strong. I'm not ashamed of the narrow road. I control the throttle to open directly, and it's very enjoyable all the way.
on the way back, we didn't waste time, didn't stop all the way, and went straight to our destination. At this time, I finally felt the strong power of Ford Explorer, the acceleration was super accurate, the turning force was just right, it was very silky with gear shifting, and the driving control was very strong. I have to say that the powertrain of Ford's fourth-generation EcoBoost2.3T engine and 2.3T+1AT transmission is YYDS!
During this trip to Dawa Mountain, we had both pleasure and regret. I was 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 camping. I hope I can make up for these regrets the next time I drive the Ford Explorer to Dawa Mountain.
