The Western Sichuan Big Loop
2024.4.30
The Western Sichuan Big Loop connects the G318 Sichuan-Tibet Southern Route and the G317 Sichuan-Tibet Northern Route, passing through snow-capped mountains, seas of clouds, grasslands, and lakes along the way. It was an unforgettable graduation trip for me.
I was amazed that six completely strangers from different places could get along so well, landing on the same land, embracing the wilderness and the sunshine with laughter and joy. The beginning of the story is always like this, coincidental and unexpected. The end of the story is always like this, flowers bloom on their own, each in different skies. At the end of the journey, we returned to where we started, but I found the answer I was looking for. If the connections between people are threads, meeting each other, our parallel lines intersect and touch, and then they go back to parallel, each heading to their own life's track. I watch your threads getting farther and farther away, and you tell me with your trails, there is no need to chase.
I hope I will always remember the blizzard when descending from Daocheng, someone was protecting me by my side; during every moment of altitude sickness, friends took care of me meticulously. On the way to Seda, playing the songs of Xu Wei; beside the streets of the ancient town, dazzled by the jewelry made of various colored jade; scattering the five-colored Lungta into the sky surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
I built a Mani stone pile by the babbling stream, and with each gust of wind, I prayed for you all. Lastly, borrowing the words of our team leader, 'Today we took eighteen turns on the heavenly road, wishing us from now on a smooth journey in life.'
Sichuan-Tibet 318 is a dream tourist attraction for many self-driving tours. The whole 318 self-driving down can be said to have passed through all year round. You can meet the scenery of various seasons. Plus the setting off of the snow-capped mountains, there are many highlights and many surprises.
Tibet, that is a real pure land, whether you are flying or train, the beauty of Tibet is there, whether you are driving or riding, the spotted Tibetans are there, whether you are hiking or hiking, the mystery of Tibet is there. Turning a mountain, round a lake, every step of hardship, corresponding to the peace and light of people's hearts.
The Sichuan-Tibet line is divided into the Sichuan-Tibet North Line and the South Line. The South Line refers to the 318 National Road, which is well developed and mainly focuses on natural landscapes. The North Line is the 317 National Road, mainly with humanistic landscapes. Personally recommend the Sichuan-Tibet South Line.
Self-driving Sichuan-Tibet line must have enough time, otherwise I will regret coming next year when I go back.
Along the way, the terrain and landforms are diverse and the humanistic landscape is unique.
Wildlife can be seen along the Sichuan-Tibet highway.
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway is on the Basu to Lhasa section, which can be said to be a scene with a shot. It's so beautiful.
