Chapter 34 All the way north

At six o'clock the next morning, just as the sky was getting light in the east half, Old Liu held the backpack containing the sandalwood box and the second uncle's urn and took the white lion into the car. Zhaxi Dawa silently said nothing.

"Brother Dawa, please take care of the house. When your brother comes back, you can drive this car at will. After the inn is officially open to the public, you can come and help the kitchen."

"Well, Brother Liu, please pay more attention to safety along the way. If you are tired, take a rest. Never drive for the sake of rushing to drive. I'm not going to be tired, so I'll wait for you to come back and have a drink."

Old Liu opened the rear door and patted Bai Shi's big head. Bai Shi got into the car obediently. Old Liu also got into the car and started the car, got off the glass of the car and said to Zhashi Dawa, "Brother, I'm leaving now, I'll ask you at home."

"Don't worry, Brother Liu, I will take the family forward. Well, Brother Liu, you'll be safe all the way."

Old Liu smiled, waved his hand at Zhaxi Dawa, stepped on the clutch and hand gear, and the car drove out steadily.

Although the sky is just bright, the hernia headlights of the Great Wall Cannon are not vegetarians. Once the headlights are turned on, the area hundreds of meters ahead will shine brightly.

There were not many cars on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway during this period. Lao Liu maintained a speed of 70 kilometers per hour and drove all the way north.

Fifty minutes later, when the sun was about to rise, Lao Liu arrived at the county town of Dangquka County.

This is already the northernmost part of the jurisdiction of Riguang City. After leaving Quka County and heading north, it enters the area under Hei Shui.

At this time, my vision was already very good, but the wind was a little strong.

You can see it in Dangquka County, National Highway 109, Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the similarly built Nala Expressway. If there is anything wrong, it is that the expressway is not open to traffic. If the expressway is open to traffic, it will be much more convenient to drive back to your hometown.

National Highway 109 runs through the county town of Dangquka County, and you can clearly see the sign leading to the Namtuo Scenic Area on the road.

If you want to go to Namcuo, Dangquka County is the only way to go. However, there is a majestic Nianqing Tanggula Mountain between Namcuo and Dangquka County. If you want to reach that plateau holy lake, you must cross the Naggenla Mountain Pass at an altitude of 5,190 meters.

Although Lao Liu really wanted to go to Nambu, it was obviously not the right time to take a look.

Next to the Unicom Company's business hall on the west side of the road, Lao Liu found a small restaurant with "Dongshan Dumplings". Seeing the small restaurant open the door, Lao Liu parked his car in the parking space on the side of the road, put a dog leash on the white lion, and got out of the car with the white lion.

The hotel is not big, and a couple who look honest is running. As expected, the couple was startled by the white lion.

Lao Liu didn't dare to enter the door, and there were still a few people in the room having breakfast. However, there were two tables and chairs outside the room, so Lao Liu simply sat outside. The boss walked over with the recipe tremblingly.

Not to mention, as soon as the boss spoke, Lao Liu heard that this was a fellow villager in Dongshan, and his accent was from the southern part of Dongshan.

Lao Liu chatted with the boss in Dongshan dialect for a while, and the boss seemed very happy. In such a place, even if it is not from the same city, he is still a perfect fellow Dongshan.

The breakfast includes bun porridge and fried dough sticks. As for the taste, let’s not talk about it.

You can still eat such breakfast in such a remote small county town, so don’t think about the taste anymore. Just fill your stomach...

I spent twenty yuan to have a hot breakfast: a bowl of rice and vegetable porridge, a basket of small buns, and a boiled egg. Lao Liu continued on the way.

Dangquka County was built around National Highway 109, which is the widest street in this county.

The length of the county town is just over three kilometers, and the width is less than one kilometer. This scale is not even comparable to a town in Dongshan, but in northern Tibet, such a county town is considered large.

The second uncle said that when he went to Shuanghu, the county town was so small that it was pitiful, and the scale was even smaller than that of an ordinary residential community in the eastern coastal province...

In the early morning, there are very few people in Quka County, and the entire county has not yet woken up from its sleep. In summer, the county will not wake up from its sleep until around 8 o'clock. If it is winter, it will have to wait until nine o'clock or even half past nine o'clock.

After leaving the county town, we continue north. National Highway 109 is winding at the foot of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. A few kilometers away from both sides of the national highway are the magnificent snow-capped mountains. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Nala Expressway, which has not yet been opened to traffic, are accompanied by the east of the national highway, and the Dangqu River to the west. The undulating grass on both sides of the river are filled with yaks and sheep grazing leisurely.

A train with a double front end was marching hard with its long bodies, transporting a large amount of supplies to Sunac City.

On the way, you can occasionally see Tibetans who went to Nikko to worship.

I don’t know where these devout Tibetans came from, but there is no doubt that they were kowtowing all the way to come from their hometown. But obviously, this is not the end of their pilgrimage, and the Jokhang Temple in Nikko City is their destination...

The blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, rivers, cattle and sheep, trains... and the road and the extremely devout worshippers together form a picture that is difficult to describe in words!

A living, constantly flowing picture!

The sun rose and the temperature quickly rose to about ten degrees.

Lao Liu dropped the window on the right side of the rear seat, and the white lion excitedly stretched out his big head to look at the scenery along the way.

It is about 165 kilometers away from Quka County to Heishui. If there is a highway, it will take only an hour and a half to arrive. But when Lao Liu drove on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, it was already past 11:00 noon when he arrived at Heishui.

Lao Liu ran for more than three hours, a distance of only 160 kilometers.

There was no way, and I encountered a convoy of fifty or sixty military vehicles in the middle, which delayed some time.

Heishui is one of the seven prefecture-level cities on the plateau, and it is also the largest prefecture-level city with the entire plateau area. It is also the second-ranked prefecture-level administrative unit in the country. The area of ​​Heishui is similar to that of Japan, and is about the same as that of three and a half South Korea...

The most famous river in Heishui is the Naqu River, which is also the source of Nujiang River!

After eating something casually in Heishui and taking a break, Lao Liu continued to drive forward.

As well, as soon as the white lion appeared, it immediately attracted many people's attention.

However, at this time, Lao Liu also deeply realized that it is not easy to drive on National Highway 109.

If I were in Dongshan, the expressway of about 200 kilometers would not take much energy or energy at all. However, here, the distance of more than 200 kilometers had cost Lao Liu more than four hours. Even though Lao Liu was in good health, he felt a little tired.

After opening out of Heishui City, it entered the core area of ​​the northern Tibetan Plateau.

The hot spring town - Nianqing Tanggula Mountain Fault Zone has been released here, so the grassland here is even wider, and some snow-white hills can be seen in the distance, but those mountains are at least dozens of kilometers away from National Highway 109.

When driving here, except for the altitude too high, there is almost no difference between driving on the Inner Mongolia grasslands.
