Why is Tibet not suitable for self driving?
1、 If the helpless car does not enter Tibet with two long legs, the hope can only rest on four indispensable wheels. Not all asphalt hardened roads of Sichuan Tibet railway are as expected. Several parts are not fully hardened and are full of sand and mud. Once these roads are eroded by rain, snow and river water, they will become traps for trailers, especially in bends and river beds. It is worth mentioning that there is a place called haitonggou between Batang and Mangkang. Because there is no hardened Road, most of the traffic accidents happen here.
2、 The weather on the Sichuan Tibet railway is like a child's face. There are four seasons in a day. When it changes, it changes. Traveling along the Sichuan Tibet line is like crossing just for sightseeing. The former mountain is still sunny, and the next one is windy and snowy. In this way, people inside can see the distance between heaven and earth a second ago, and will not be covered by dark clouds for the time being. However, if one can experience it once in my life, it will be unforgettable.
3、 Difficult and dangerous road conditions 1. Once the rainstorm comes or the glacier melts, there is enough water for all the stones, big and small. They will slide along the slope, forming a debris flow and pour into low-lying roads, canyons and rivers. To understand the characteristics of debris flow, one of the ways to avoid debris flow is to try not to drive to low-lying areas. 2. Thousands of tons of soft sand slide down the towering peaks, destroying highways, blocking traffic and even 'burying' living people and cars. If you encounter steep terrain while driving, and there is a lot of sand, stone and other materials, you must be very careful where there are few trees. It is necessary to observe it carefully before passing the road ahead. If there is a small amount of stone or mud falling on the road ahead, and the buildings on it are uneven, this is the precursor of the coming landslide here.
4、 The heart of fear 'high counter' Plateau reaction is really frustrating, especially for the first time to enter Tibet. Most of the trips to Sichuan Tibet railway will show slight or serious plateau reaction. Mind should be stable, don't worry too much about this problem. A few days before the altitude response, we had an article in the introduction entitled "don't treat this terrible physiological phenomenon on Sichuan Tibet line lightly". We have made a detailed introduction to the plateau response, but there is not much here. In addition, high altitude ultraviolet is very strong. You must bring sunscreen and moisturizing products (sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, moisturizer, etc.). ）When you go out to play, this will prevent you from peeling off a layer of skin when you come back from the game.
5、 The traffic jams in dilemma say Beijing, Zhengzhou and Chengdu are blocked. In fact, the first time a friend enters Tibet, he may not know something. The most isolated part of the country is the Sichuan Tibet railway.! Especially in summer, all kinds of self driving cars, trucks and tourist buses come and go along the Sichuan Tibet Railway in the most popular season. However, during the summer monsoon season, the Sichuan Tibet railway is most likely to be blocked by collapsed roads. Many sections are often broken due to landslides throughout the year, and many sections are allowed to pass by single side. The traffic efficiency is greatly reduced and the passing rate is very low. The dense checkpoints along the way complicate the situation. In fact, traffic jams are very unsafe at high altitudes. Here, the editor suggests that the friends who drive the Sichuan Tibet railway should prepare more energy food in the car. In the past, many vehicles were stuck on passes overnight. Don't bring spare oil drums in your car, or they won't pass through checkpoints (there are many gas stations along the way, but you should choose regular gas stations such as PetroChina and Sinopec).
