20 19 Mangkang weather
Listen to the old man telling the story along the Degong Highway: "Link"
I used to want to drive to Deqin Bingzhongluo, did I face these three choices?
The first way is to take the 2 14 national highway, bypass Mangkang and Zuogong, and reach Bingzhongluo Town. Second, take go to dali along the 2 14 national highway, then turn to the 2 19 national highway in Lushui and cross Fugong and Gongshan to reach the destination; The third way is to take the Dewei Line, change to Provincial Highway 3 1 1 in Deng Wei Township, then change to National Highway 2 19 in Lushui, and go to Bingzhongluo Town.
From these three options, no matter which one you choose, you can see the extremely beautiful scenery of Hengduan Mountain, just around a big circle ... Is there no shortcut for Deqin to be so close to Bingzhongluo?
It may be that the Yunnan provincial government has heard the demands of go on road trip people. In 2007, the provincial government decided to build a shortcut between Deqin and Gongshan, which greatly shortened the distance between the two places and safeguarded the national unity of Tibetan areas and border ethnic minorities in Yunnan.
I don't need to tell you about this shortcut. Does everyone know about it? Yes, it's only 95 kilometers long, but Degong Highway was built by 12.
Affected by road snow, geological disasters along the route and COVID-19 epidemic, Degong Highway has been closed since June 20 19.
By the end of April this year, entrusted by the government, the professional team responsible for emergency rescue and traffic security had eradicated the snow and landslide sections of this section, and it was officially opened to traffic in mid-May.
So today, let's walk along this magical German father-in-law road and see why it was built in 12.
The wheels of 2 1 century rolled in Gaoligong Mountain, and the cold and stagnant land began to have the speed of modern civilization. Although this is a late start, it still leads to happiness.
A German highway that does not lose its own warehouse has ended an era of inconvenient travel and opened the door to a new era.
This road, like iced tea, has the exciting experience of "left-handed paradise, right-handed hell". After opening to traffic, it became the most beautiful go on road trip line in northwest Yunnan.
From the map, you will find that the distance between Diqing and Nujiang in Yunnan is not far, but because the hinterland of Hengduan Mountain is deep and there is a snow mountain between them, the geographical barrier makes the traffic very difficult.
In the past, if people living in Deqin wanted to go to Gongshan, they had to rely on the ancient tea-horse road and bypass Dali and other peripheral areas to reach the other side of the mountain. The whole trip takes three or four days, or even longer.
But now, this once rugged road suddenly has a brand-new important passage less than 100 km, connecting Diqing and Nujiang.
In the months before closing the mountain in winter, people are busy rushing to transport the living materials needed after closing the mountain every day. Now, only a few cars are needed, and in half a day, hundreds of mules and horses or even one or two thousand mules and horses can be transported every day. It used to take half a year to transport materials.
From the beginning of construction to the official opening of Degong Highway, this process is not always smooth. From the dirt road to the highway, and then to the opening of the tunnel, the arduous automation construction of this project has faced great difficulties since that day.
Because there is not an inch of ready-made road before this highway, the subgrade and pavement are all newly dug.
Degong Highway is built in the hinterland of Hengduan Mountain area with complex geology, and it needs to cross ravines and canyons. However, natural disasters such as landslides and mudslides often occur, and the construction is risky and difficult.
In particular, the altitude along the line varies greatly, ranging from 1500m to over 4000m. The altitude sickness of construction workers is serious, and the frequency of personnel replacement is high.
And this line has a long rainy season, foggy and rainy. Especially in the snow season, heavy snow sometimes accumulates to one meter or even five meters, and the landscape of mountains and rivers loses its original shape, and the road surface is erased by blizzard.
That snow is simply a three-dimensional snowfield. If there is a crack only a finger wide at any height, then it suddenly becomes a silver snake wandering along the silent snow seam! Fly out of the twists and turns-an avalanche happened.
The heavy snow carried the sediment and giant trees all the way. At this time, if someone happens to pass by on the road, it will be thrown into the valley in an instant like a small house folded with paper. ...
(20 18) When the old wheat wolf entered Bingzhongluo from Degong Highway and went to Robbie Snow Mountain Pass, he was caught in a rare heavy snow! The deepest part of the snow is more than 50 cm, and the road surface and gully can't be distinguished, and the visibility is less than two meters (Figure @ "Geography of Driving in China").
In this case, the usual snow shoveling operation is so dangerous that the one-year construction period is very short and the project progress is slow, so the first repair is 12 years.
/kloc-for 0/2 years, in order to ensure the timely completion of the construction task, people who fought on the construction site braved the snow and cold and endured altitude sickness caused by high altitude.
However, after the completion of the expressway, it has become a matter of benefiting the people and a great blessing for our self-driving travelers.
Although the total length of Degong Highway is only 95 kilometers, it runs through the scenery of Sanjiang all the way, bringing together wonders such as snow-capped mountains and canyons, glacier jungles and precious animals and plants.
Starting from Chalitong Village, Yunling Township, Deqin County, crossing the Degong Bridge on the Lancang River, and then crossing the Peacock Pass with the highest altitude along the line, we entered the secret zone where the three rivers are in parallel in the Hengduan Mountains.
Jinsha River, Lancangjiang River and Nujiang River are inverted "Sichuan" from north to south, with a total length of 170 kilometers, forming a rare natural geographical landscape miracle in China and even the world.
For a long time, the snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows and lakes with three parallel rivers have been the secret world that outdoor lovers yearn for. However, when they want to visit this secret place, they have to go around and take a trip from the periphery, and they can't really go deep.
Until the opening of Degong Highway, the fascinating "Three Rivers Day Tour" is no longer a dream! The nearest place where the three rivers run parallel is only 80.5 kilometers. We can drive along this road through the hinterland of Hengduan Mountains, cross the Three Rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way.
Walking along Degong Highway, people won't feel too lonely with Robbie Snow Mountain. Robbie Snow Mountain is the remnant vein of Himalayan Mountains and one of the main mountains in Hengduan Mountains. It is adjacent to Lancang River in the east and Nujiang River in the west, which is the dividing line between Gongshan and Deqin, and also the watershed between Nujiang River and Lancang River.
Robbie Snow Mountain is known as the "Mountain with Thousand Waterfalls", and there are many waterfalls and lakes on the mountain. The top of the mountain covered with snow does not melt all year round. Even in midsummer, it rains, hails and snows heavily on a cloudy day.
Located in the western foothills of Robbie Snow Mountain, it is a village where Nu and Tibetan people live together, called Dimalo Village.
There are few tourists visiting Dimalo Village, but there is a B&B inn where you can experience the local minority culture. Not far from B&B, there is a Catholic church that combines Chinese and Western cultures, which is very charming.
The next trip, along Degong Highway, will enter Nujiang Grand Canyon, the longest, most mysterious, most beautiful, most primitive and most quaint Oriental Grand Canyon in the world.
Among the three canyons of Nujiang River, Lancang River and Dulongjiang River in the three parallel rivers area, Nujiang Grand Canyon is the most spectacular.
The Nujiang River runs day and night, forming a huge canyon with high mountains, deep valleys and sharp peaks.
The Nujiang Grand Canyon is longer and deeper than the famous Colorado Grand Canyon in America. At the same time, there is a "pearl" hidden in the canyon, that is Bingzhongluo, a paradise where people and gods live together.
Bingzhongluo's natural environment is peculiar and spectacular, and its unique geographical location makes it close to the south, with two wonderful landscapes of sunrise and sunset in one day.
Every year 10 to February of the following year, the Nujiang River is gentle, and the canyon climate is mild. The high-altitude canyon landform makes the vertical climate difference between Bingzhongluo extremely obvious. The climate temperature difference from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is very large, and when it meets the warm and humid airflow from the Indian Ocean, it presents a foggy scene.
If you are there, it seems that the whole world is wrapped in clouds. And if you meet a rare "Buddha light" in this foggy town, you may wonder: Is there really a fairy living in Bingzhongluo?
In fact, Bingzhongluo has long been famous. It is the starting point of the famous cross-country self-driving route in China. Although the natural barrier is gone, starting from this beautiful place and crossing this route to Tibet will leave you the most unforgettable memory in your life.
Yunnan is the creator's first choice, and the beautiful scenery here makes every traveler want to stay. The mysterious northwest of Yunnan is like this, which always brings infinite surprises and makes people full of reverie and yearning forever.
In mid-May, Degong Highway was opened to traffic. Are you eager to try this golden self-driving route of "Three Rivers One-Day Tour"?
Recently, however, the road in Yunnan Gongshan was interrupted by natural disasters. Get to know the latest road information before you leave ~
