There is a not-so-large parking lot on the side of the road about 800 meters away from the lake. After getting off here, you can see the entire Sijin Lacuo Lake from a high place.

Sijin Lacuo's area is not large. At least compared to Namcuo, which Lao Liu and Chu Qian have been to, Sijin Lacuo is definitely the younger brother of his younger brother. Even if he is wrong, that lake is hundreds of times larger than the small lake in front of him!

Namtuo couldn't see the edge at a glance, but Sijin Lacuo could see it at a glance.

The small lake is about 16700 meters long from east to west and about 1200 meters wide from north to south, and is roughly an irregular oval.

There are mountains on the north and south sides, and to the west of the small lake is a valley and to the east is a flat valley.

On the south side of the small lake, there is a long, narrow peninsula that looks like a venomous snake's tongue and penetrates deep into the center of the lake, dividing the small lake into two halves. It is said that this peninsula was the result of Padmasambhava helping Zamp Chisong Dezan to subdue the demons.

Well, almost every scenic spot on the plateau has corresponding legends, so Lao Liu and Chu Qian can only listen.

The scenery of the small lake is indeed beautiful. The small lake is like a blue-green mirror that reflects the blue sky, white clouds and surrounding mountains.

On the shore that has completely turned yellow, there are seven or eight prayer flags towers, with colorful wind and horse flags hanging on them. There are also Mani piles of different sizes.

If you are visiting here for the first time, you will definitely be fascinated by the scenery here. Such a pure lake can be easily seen in other places, that is, you can only see such a pure lake in such a rarely visited high altitude area.

However, for Lao Liu, who had seen Namcuo and Cuona Lake, such a scenery was no longer enough to shock him.

But Chu Qian recited the drawing board and insisted on drawing a sketch here.

Fortunately, the wind is very small today and the sun is very strong, so it is not cold to bask in the sun and draw here.

The white lion is very satisfied with the environment here. When his father accompanied his mother to paint, it began to go wild here.

After seeing the mighty white lion, seven or eight Tibetans who were turning around the lake closed their hands together, and the low roar of the white lion echoed in the valley.

There is also a highway to the east of the lake. Go down the mountain along this highway and then turn to Gongsang Highway, and you can go south to Sangri in the south of the mountain.

After staying by the lake for about fifty minutes, Chu Qian successfully completed a sketch. The two of them returned the same way, and then went up the Linla Expressway from the same way and began to cross the Mila Mountain Tunnel.

When it comes to Sichuan-Tibet Highway, we have to talk about Mila Mountain.

The Mila Pass is the highest point of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and this mountain is also an important boundary mountain for the landforms, vegetation and climate on the east and west sides of the Yajiang Valley.

Mountain Mira is not only a watershed between the Rikkong River system in the northwest and the Nikong River system in the southeast, but also a natural demarcation between the marine climate in the Bayi region and the inland climate in the Rikkong City region, and has significant geographical demarcation significance.

The climate is dry and cold in the west of Mount Mira, while the climate in the eastern region is warm and humid, with lush vegetation. The scenery on the east and west sides of the mountain is completely different!

In the past, when there was no Xiulinla Expressway, I had to cross the Mila Pass at an altitude of 5,013 meters when I walked the Qinghai-Tibet Line. However, after the Linla Expressway was built, I would not have to cross the mountain pass with an altitude of more than 5,000.

The Mila Mountain Tunnel directly opened up the mountain of Mila Mountain? Not only did it directly drop the height of climbing Mila Mountain by about 300 meters, but it also shortened the distance and increased the safety of driving.

This tunnel with a total length of more than 5,700 meters is built at an altitude of 4,700 altitude? This tunnel is also the highest road tunnel in the world? It is the second tallest tunnel in the world after the Fenghuoshan Tunnel.

Anyway, it is absolutely a miracle to build such a road tunnel with a length of nearly six kilometers in such a high altitude area.

People who have never been here may not be able to understand how harsh the environment at an altitude of nearly 5,000 is, but even those who live on the plateau all year round will have difficulty breathing at this height.

And under such harsh conditions, our road construction workers masters overcame all kinds of difficulties and forced through the mountain blocking in front of Sunac City, building such a tunnel that can definitely be called a miracle of the world!

The Mila Mountain Tunnel is composed of two tunnels in both directions, and the speed limit of the tunnel is only 80 kilometers. After entering the tunnel, Lao Liu couldn't help but be amazed by the scenery in the tunnel.

The Mila Mountain Tunnel is a big difference between the Mila Mountain Tunnel and other tunnels? The upper half of the tunnel is not the reinforced concrete structure that remains unchanged for thousands of years in most tunnels. The upper half of the Mila Mountain Tunnel is painted with blue sky and white clouds!

That's right, after our road construction workers built this tunnel, they painted the upper half of the tunnel with beautiful blue sky and white clouds. The two rows of lights at the top of the tunnel illuminate the entire tunnel very brightly, driving in the tunnel? If you ignore both sides, you really think you are driving under the blue sky.

"Who designed this? I must give him a thumbs up!" Old Liu was sincerely admiring while driving.

"Hehe? Are you very surprised? The last time I went to Bayi to pass by the Mila Mountain Tunnel, I was amazed by this tunnel? I have never seen such a tunnel before."

"It's really great!" Old Liu was also an eye-opener this time.

The car kept a speed limit of 80 kilometers and steadily traveling through the tunnel. It took nearly five minutes to open the tunnel.

After going out of the tunnel, you can see the Sichuan-Tibet Highway crossing the Mila Mountain winding from the side? Finally, it is close to the Linla Expressway again? It is shuttled through the mountains in parallel.

After drilling out of the Mira Mountain Tunnel, a stream reappeared on the side of the road and flowed along with the road.

"Have you seen this stream?" Old Liu asked Chu Qian.

Chu Qian tilted her head and looked out, "What's wrong with this stream?"

"Haha, this stream should be the source of the Niyang River."

"Is this the source of the Niyang River? It's so small?" Looking at this stream less than one meter wide, Chu Qian felt a little unbelievable.

"What's wrong with the small one? The source of the Yellow River is a nest of water, and the source of the Yangtze River is no larger than this stream. The Niyang River is called the "Goddess' Tears" by local Tibetans, and it is the tears flowing from the goddess of Mount Mira. We are now on Mount Mira, and this stream is not the source of the Niyang River."

"God, I've seen the Niyang River in Bayi and also visited the Yani Wetland. The Niyang River was very wide when it came into the Yajiang River. If you don't tell me, I really can't believe that such a small stream is the source of the Niyang River."

"Okay, now Niyanghe is around us, so let's go down the river!"

...

Many tourists on the Internet commented on the Linla Expressway, saying that after the main road was repaired, there was an additional green landscape avenue from Sunac to Bayi.

In fact, Lao Liu thinks the most appropriate statement should be "the green landscape avenue from Mira Pass to Bayi"!

Lao Liu didn’t know what summer looks like in the west of Mila Mountain, but now it seems that the scenery from Sunshine City to Mila Mountain is obviously not very good.

The majestic and tall Mira Mountain blocked the wet water vapor going north along the Yajiang Grand Canyon in the Indian Ocean, which led to the inability to nourish the wet water vapor in the west of Mira Mountain.

However, because the Niyang Valley in the east of Mira Mountain is nourished by the sun-moist air from the Indian Ocean all year round, the climate here is not only humid, but also the temperature is higher than that in Rikkong City.

In fact, in the Weizang area, the climate is extremely dry. It is better in summer, but in winter, the climate here can make you feel dry and dying.

Just like Tianlu Inn, each guest room and employee dormitories are now equipped with two humidifiers, and the humidifiers equipped in the hotel lobby are almost constantly spitting out mist.

But even so, the room was still dry. Even Lao Liu's lips were cracked due to dryness and would crack again after healing...

If the humidifier in the room is not used all night, a large bucket of water in the humidifier will evaporate.

Therefore, the dry climate is also a huge challenge for tourists traveling to the Weizang area.

Anyway, Lao Liu usually sees tourists coming to the inn, at least nine out of ten of them have cracked lips...

But in Bayi, this situation rarely occurs.

Although Bayi belongs to the western edge of the Kangba area, the air here is much wetter than that of Sunac.

Moreover, compared to Sunshine City, which is 400 kilometers away, the closer it is to Bayi, the more trees there are on both sides of the mountains.

Before Lao Liu and Chu Qian crossed the Mila Mountain, there was almost no tree visible on the mountains on both sides of the Linla Expressway. However, after crossing the Mila Mountain, the more we walked eastward, the wider the Niyang River was, and trees appeared on the mountains on both sides unknowingly.

It seems that the number of trees on the mountains on both sides of the Niyang River Valley is proportional to the change in the width of the Niyang River.

With trees, the mountains will be green. Even though it is October now, the weather on the plateau is already very cold, and the trees on the mountains on both sides of the Conniyang River Valley are still lush and lush.

Moreover, the mountains are also particularly beautiful at this time, because you can see several different colors of the mountains at this time.

The top is naturally white snow. Well, this snow is just snow, not glaciers.

Because of the high altitude, sometimes the weather is clear, but snowflakes will fall on the tops of these mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000. This will turn the tops of the mountains into white.

Looking down, it turns out that it is withered and yellow, which is the current color of the alpine meadows. In October, almost all the alpine meadows have withered and yellow.

Looking further down, you will see yellow leaves, orange and red leaves and still green leaves at the bottom.

In other words, when you appreciate the mountains on both sides of the Neyang River Valley at this time, you will see such colorful things.

The taste is quite like a rush to enjoy the maple leaves in the western mountain of the capital during the golden autumn season.

In addition to the Mila Mountain Tunnel running along the Linla Expressway for more than an hour, we arrived at Gongbu Jiangda, a small county town that spans both sides of the Niyang River.

This small county town located in the valley is not big. Both sides are lush mountains. The rushing Niyang River crosses the county town, dividing the small county town into two halves of north and south, which looks very poetic and picturesque. (PS: Lao Mo suggests that if a book friend drives by himself, you can go down to enter the county town and have a good stroll. The county town is very small, and the shops inside are also small. In short, this county town once left a deep impression on Lao Mo. In Lao Mo's feeling, Gongbu Jiangda is even more fascinating than Linzhi. Well, this section does not charge...)

Although the entrance and exit of the expressway to the east of the county town, the two of them did not go down, but drove forward.

When you arrive here, you can see the villages of Zangbi not far away. As the second uncle said when he was alive, the second-story Zangbi building here is very beautifully built, with red walls and green tiles, hidden in the lush forest, which is particularly romantic.

These small buildings were built by the state, and each village is a beautiful scenic spot like a painting.

After walking eastward for half an hour after passing Gongbu Jiangda, we arrived at a very important node on the Linla Expressway - Bahe.

The Ba River is a small town, and its name comes from a river that flows into the Niyang River from the north - the Ba River.

The reason why Ba River is important is that there are two famous attractions near Ba River, Basongcuo and Xiuba Millennium Castle Group!

There is no need to say much about Basongcuo. It is one of the only four national 5A-level scenic spots on the plateau and the only 5A-level scenic spot on the plateau.

Just ask if you are awesome?

How many magnificent scenic spots are there on the plateau? Mount Everest, Yamdrok Yongcuo, Namcuo, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon...

Take out any of these attractions and make tourists brought from the plains stunned.

But whether it is Mount Everest, Namcuo, or Yamdrok Cho, they are only national 4A-level scenic spots, but only Basuncuo is hanging high in front of this series of famous scenic spots at the level of national 5A-level scenic spots!

It can be called the most awesome natural scenic spot on the plateau!

Old Liu couldn't figure out why this was, and Chu Qian didn't know either.

"Do you know why Basongcuo Scenic Area is a 5A-level scenic area, while Mount Everest, Namcuo and other scenic areas are only 4A-level?" Old Liu parked his car steadily in the Xiuba parking area on the side of the expressway, tilted his head to ask Chu Qian.

Chu Qian shook her head blankly, "I really don't know this situation. Actually, before I came to the plateau, I only heard about scenic spots such as Bu Palace, Jokhang Temple, Mount Everest, and Namcuo, but I never knew Basongcuo."

Lao Liu smiled bitterly and said, "We are the same. If we hadn't accompanied you home and walk this road, I wouldn't have known that there would be a 5A-level scenic spot hidden in this deep mountains and forests."

It is indeed as Lao Liu said. Once the original is raised, the first thing people think of is either Bu Palace or Mount Everest. This is especially true for those who have never come to the plateau. Even if you ask where you know besides Bu Palace and Mount Everest, you probably have to nine out of ten people who will say that I know Namcuo, I know Yamdrok Yongcuo, I know Jokhang Temple, I know Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon...

Basuncuo? What is that place?

However, although Basongcuo is a 5A-level scenic spot, for Lao Liu and Chu Qian who have seen Namcuo, Keona Lake and Sijin Lacuo, Basongcuo is nothing more than a more beautiful lake.

Especially Basuncuo has more than 70 kilometers of mountain road to the Ba River. Including the time of travel, it takes three or four hours to go back and forth.
