Chapter 361 No. 1 in the world!
"I am from Quzong Village and was born and raised there since childhood. Our Quzong Village is the closest village to Mount Everest. In February last year, the country announced the closure of Mount Everest Base Camp, and a sightseeing bus station was established on May 1st. After all tourists arrived in our village, they had to get off the bus and transfer to the new base camp." On the bus, Dazhen began to talk about her village.
"Didn't it mean that the sightseeing bus is standing at 79 kilometers from Mount Everest Highway?" Liu Mo'ang asked while driving.
"Yes, the 79-kilometer sign of Mount Everest Highway to the west of our village." Dazhen said with a smile.
The little girl has a cheerful personality, which is similar to Gesan Lazhen in the inn, making people feel very comfortable.
While speaking, a village appeared in front of him. Dazhen said: "This is Che Village. There is a checkpoint, ID card, driver's license, driving license and border guard license. You must be prepared."
"God, it's not long before Lulu Checkpoint." Chu Qian was a little dissatisfied.
"Sister Qianqian, there is nothing I can do about this. Don't forget that this road leads to Mount Everest. It can also be said that this road leads to the border line, so it must be checked. And not only here, there is a border checkpoint when we arrive in our village."
Chu Qian patted her forehead and didn't say anything again, and began to take various documents out of her bag.
"Sister Qianqian, after passing this checkpoint, you will start climbing the mountain. When you arrive at the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, you will see the spectacular Himalayas. The weather today is particularly good, and you and Ang will definitely see a more beautiful view."
"Really?" Chu Qian was a little surprised. She disappeared because of the dissatisfaction at the checkpoint just now.
"Well, then you will believe what I said is true or false."
Sure enough, after passing the checkpoint, I started climbing the mountain. The first few bends were better, but the more you opened the font, the more you turned up, there were many bends. There were just 180 degrees of turn bends, and the turning radius was very small. It was almost as close to the winding mountain road that had just left the Galongla Tunnel when I went to Motuo.
"Brother Ang, Sister Qianqian, welcome to the Gawula Mountain Winding Mountain Highway, welcome to the Everest Highway 108-turn ladder road!" Dazhen introduced excitedly, "The mountain we are climbing now is the Gawula Mountain. The altitude of the Gawula Mountain Pass is 5,198 meters. When you arrive at the pass, you will see the signs on the roadside. There is also a viewing platform near the pass, which is the only viewing platform in the world that can see five peaks above 8,000 meters at the same time."
"So amazing?" Chu Qian asked in surprise.
"Of course, this tourist platform is the best platform to see Mount Everest in the distance. The weather today is also very good. I guess you will see five peaks of more than 8,000 in a while. Usually, when you see five peaks at the same time, it is mostly in autumn and winter, and it is difficult to see in summer."
Along the way, I passed one prayer flag after another hanging in the air and turned one bend after another. Before completely circling the driver Liu Mo'ang, the car finally climbed the pass of the Gawula Mountain.
A blue sign on the side of the road clearly reads "Gawula Pass, altitude of 5198m". Liu Mo'ang drove a road next to him under Dazhen's guidance. At the end of the road was a huge viewing platform, and many tourists were looking at the Himalayas in the south on the viewing platform.
Liu Mo'ang got out of the car with Bai Shi. Chu Qian and Dazhen had already walked to the observation deck. Chu Qian even raised her arms excitedly.
Sure enough, the scenery ahead was magnificent!
Standing on the observation deck and looking into the distance, there is a silver skyline outlined by the group of snow peaks of the Himalayas, majestic and majestic!
And when you lower your head a little, you can see the dizzy winding road under your feet.
Last year, when I took Chu Qian home, I walked the 72nd turn of the sky road by the Nujiang River. When I returned, I walked the 18th turn of the sky road with Zhang Bing and Guo Yanping and his wife when I crossed Jianzi Wanshan.
But these two most famous winding mountain sections on National Highway 318 are simply a witch compared to the road in front of you...
Whether it is the seventy-two turns of the sky or the eighteen turns of the sky, you can still count how many 180 degrees of back bends there are, but when you look down here, there are so many that make people's scalp tingling one after another, and you can't count them.
No wonder I almost got dizzy when I drove up the mountain just now...
The white lion seemed to be shocked by the scenery in front of her, and squatted obediently on the ground, staring at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Dazhen said excitedly: "Brother Ang, Sister Qianqian, look over there, that is, your left hand position, do you see the snow mountain on the far left?"
The two looked in the direction Dazhen pointed, and sure enough, there was an extremely high snow peak standing among the group of snow peaks to the east.
"That is Makaru, which is 8463 meters above sea level, the fifth highest peak in the world! Look west slowly, the highest mountain in the middle is Mount Everest. Have you seen that mountain close to Mount Everest to the east of Mount Everest?"
"Well, I saw it, what kind of mountain is that mountain?"
"That is the fourth highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8,516 meters!"
Chu Qian exclaimed: "That's Luo Zifeng!"
Liu Mo'ang shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this mountain is too close to Mount Everest, and it was completely stolen by Mount Everest."
Dazhen smiled and said, "Yes, from here, Luozi Peak is not conspicuous, not as prominent as Makaru Peak just now. There is no way, who made Luozi Peak beside Mount Everest? And from this perspective, it would be great if the Luozi Peak, which is behind Mount Everest, was not blocked by Mount Everest, and at least it could be seen by us."
Chu Qian was also happy, "Brother's style is never something that I can take away, even if I am quite tall."
The three of them laughed together.
"When you look west, do you see the towering snow-capped mountains? The highest mountain in the middle is Zhuoyou Peak, the sixth highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8,201 meters. Continue to look west, the highest peak in the towering snow-capped mountains in the west is the fourteenth highest peak in the world, with an altitude of 8,027 meters."
"Ah? That's Xixiabang Mafeng!" Chu Qian asked excitedly.
Looking from this location, you can only vaguely see the small cluster of towering snow-capped mountains over there. If you don’t use a telescope, you will not be able to see clearly the highest Xixiabangma Peak.
No wonder, the straight-line distance between Xixiabangma Peak is 120 kilometers from Mount Everest. It is difficult to see clearly based on visual observation. Even if the weather is sunny, it is not good, it is too far...
However, Chu Qian obviously knows Xixiabangma Peak very deeply. "Honey, Xixiabangma Peak is the only peak at 8,000 meters completely located in our country. In a sense, it can also be said to be the highest peak in our country. After all, peaks such as Mount Everest and Qiaogoli are shared by our country and other countries."
Liu Mo'ang nodded in agreement.
The scenery here is indeed magnificent and undesirable. Liu Mo'ang had seen the complete Nine Peaks of Nangabawa at the Sejila Pass before. At that time, he thought that there might be no more magnificent scenery on this planet than Nine Peaks of Nangabawa.
But now, he found himself out of the way.
Although the Nine Peaks of Nangabawa is very, very magnificent, compared to the Himalayan snow-capped mountains leading the world's first, fourth, fifth, sixth and fourteenth peaks, the Nine Peaks of Nangabawa can only be obediently a younger brother.
What does it mean to be the best in the world? Look at the Mount Everest in the distance, which is in the middle, has the shape of a pyramid, and stands towering between heaven and earth, and you will completely understand what is the best in the world!
Even the white lion, who has always been good at stealing the spotlight, was completely defeated in the face of such a scene. Many tourists did not even notice the existence of the white lion...
Of course, I have to check in here to make a souvenir, including mobile phones, SLRs, singles, doubles, and holding a white lion, all of them are on!
After staying for about twenty minutes, three people and one dog got in the car and continued on.
I originally thought that the winding mountain road up the mountain was already abnormal enough, but I didn't expect that the winding mountain road down the mountain was even more than 100 meters long and the minimum turning radius was only seven or eight meters, which really made veteran drivers like Liu Mo'ang drive carefully.
Seeing Liu Mo'ang's careful appearance, Dazhen smiled and said, "Brother Ang, although this winding mountain road crossing the Jiawula Mountain is called 108 cranes, many tourists say that it is 180 cranes. Many drivers and passengers will get off the bus and slow down after getting off the mountain, and some passengers can even vomit it out."
Chu Qian patted her chest, "Fortunately, I have nothing wrong with my cerebellum, and my balance is pretty good."
Several people laughed.
Dazhen asked, "Sister Qianqian, this is your first time here at Mount Everest?"
"Yes." Chu Qian nodded.
"But I see that you didn't have any trouble on the viewing platform just now. The altitude there is more than 5,020, and most tourists dare not stay there for too long."
"Me?" Chu Qian smiled, "Sister Dazhen, I have lived in the plateau for a long time. The place where I live is 4,600 or 2, so an altitude of 5,000 or 2 is nothing to me."
"Ah? Sister Qianqian, you live on the plateau."
"Yes, and the place where I live is quite famous. I live at the foot of Nianqing Tanggula Peak."
"Wow, Nianqing Tanggula Peak? I know, I know. That is the territory of Nianqing Tanggula God. I heard my grandfather tell the story of Nianqing Tanggula God and Goddess Namcho many times when I was a child, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to go there to see it. Sister Qianqian, Nianqing Tanggula Peak must be very majestic too!"
"It's okay, but it can't be compared with Mount Everest."
Dazhen proudly raised her chest, "Yes, that's the mother of the earth!"
In Tibetan, Everest means the mother of the earth.
The three of them were joking and after more than an hour of travel, they finally arrived at a small village.
Chapter completed!
