Chapter 394 Entering the Kunlun Mountains
Arrive at Yecheng County.
Chen Mu found a car repair shop, replaced the car with a pair of all-terrain tires, and inspected the entire car, inspected the chassis, and tightened all the screws to ensure that nothing went wrong along the way.
After the car repairman asked Chen Mu where he was going, he proactively suggested that he install a winch and a high-power car radio D9000.
The winch has many uses, whether it is to sink the car or clear obstacles on the road.
As for the high-power car radio, it is to ensure the communication distance and to prevent timely calling for help when an accident occurs.
"You want to take National Highway 219, are you going to Zila?"
When the car repairman was repairing Chen Mu's car, Chen Mu sat aside and watched, helping out a little from time to time.
The car repairman is a tall Xia native. It is said that he has settled in Yicheng for a long time, and he is basically half a Yicheng person.
“I don’t have a destination, I just want to take a trip to National Highway 219 to see the situation.”
What Chen Mu said was true. He didn't know where his destination was. Anyway, he just wanted to take a walk.
He had read a lot of guides during this period and felt that National Highway 219 was not difficult to walk. What was difficult was finding the location pointed by the thin line. There was no reference, only a line.
Of course, as long as he walks on the line, he can feel it. This is the only guide.
The car repairman was recommended by online friends who said he has good car repair skills and can give a lot of good suggestions.
After Chen Mu came and chatted with him, he found out that he used to be a traveling traveler all over the world. Later, when he came to Yecheng County and met his current wife, he finally stopped and opened such a small car repair shop, earning money with his craftsmanship.
Money to support my wife and children.
"After you get on the national highway, don't run around. It's still safe to walk on the national highway. What you are most afraid of is unrest on the way. Whenever you see a place, you feel beautiful. If you want to explore, it will be dangerous as soon as you leave the national highway."
The car repairman told Chen Mu. He could see that this young man was not an experienced traveler, but a novice. The chance of running around was very high, so he kept repeating these words.
After hearing this, Chen Mu agreed with a smile.
Although he seemed careless, he really listened to what he said, and decided that this time he would mainly look at the approximate location and figure out where the end point of the thin line was, so that he would have an idea, and wait until next time.
You can make more preparations.
All in all, never take foolish risks. After all, you only have one life, and when you finish playing, you will have nothing.
The car could not be repaired in one day. While waiting, Chen Mu returned to Yecheng County for a walk to see the local customs and customs.
At the zero kilometer mark of National Highway 219, there is a huge metal sign with two metal bars surrounding a metal bar that looks like wings and clouds, with the words "From here to the roof of the world" written on it.
Chen Mu wandered around Yicheng City, eating the delicacies here. Mutton skewers are indispensable, as well as various fruits. Taking advantage of his free time, he also went to the market in Yicheng County to buy many things.
For example, big steamed buns and the like.
"Why did you buy so many steamed buns?"
The little Uighur girl asked curiously while filling Chen Mu with steamed buns.
Chen Mu asked for a lot of steamed buns, a hundred. He felt like he could eat them forever.
Chen Mu smiled and replied: "I'm going to take it to the wild to feed the wild wolves, so that they will stop staring at me when they are full of steamed buns."
The little Uighur girl looked at him a little doubtfully and said, "Wild wolves like to eat meat, not steamed buns."
Chen Mu thought about it and thought it made sense, so he bought a lot more canned meat.
The little Uighur girl was very happy because she had made another business for her parents' shop. She couldn't help but smile and asked Chen Mu: "Brother, do you want to buy some canned vegetables so that you can eat on the way?"
Chen Mu thought for a while and nodded: "You are so smart. I should really buy some canned vegetables to eat on the road."
After saying that, he asked the Uighur girl to bring him many canned vegetables.
The little Uighur girl accepted the money and stopped selling. Instead, she began to worry about the IQ of this Xia boy. She couldn't help but said: "Brother, why don't you find someone to accompany you?"
, it is very dangerous for you to be alone."
"Forget it, I like to be alone!"
Chen Mu temporarily stored the things in the Uyghur girl's shop, and planned to go back and pick up the car before transporting them away.
Steamed buns and canned food are relatively easy to preserve. He bought a simple outdoor stove so that he could heat them up on the road and eat them.
After preparing food for the people, the next step is food for the car.
He bought a lot of oil cans and filled them all up before setting off and put them in the car in case of emergency.
On the third day, everything was ready. Chen Mu drove the land cruiser and set off.
After passing the huge zero-kilometer sign, Chen Mu officially set foot on National Highway 219.
After leaving Yecheng County, we drove for more than an hour to Kekeya Township. There is a checkpoint here and you need to wait.
After Kekeya Township, there is Pusa Village, where the altitude begins to rise, reaching 2,200 meters.
There are Gobi and deserts along the way, and there is nothing too special about the scenery.
Chen Mu has read some online guides about National Highway 219. Under normal circumstances, people traveling by car will choose to go from Tibet to Xinjiang Qi, because it is easier to adapt from high to low.
On the contrary, people like him walking from Xinjiang and Qi to Tibet often suffer from altitude sickness, which can lead to problems if they are not careful.
After passing through the village of Pusa, the next step is the village of Akmeqit.
For Chen Mu, Akmeqit Village is a relatively iconic location, because starting from here, he truly enters the Kunlun Mountains. From then on, he travels through the mountains and ridges, and the altitude will get higher and higher.
In Akmeqit Village, Chen Mu stopped the car and silently felt the thin line on the map. He found that although his direction was a little off, it was still roughly correct.
It feels like the location pointed by the thin line should be farther southwest, and he is to the east.
"Where exactly is it? It can't be in a snowy mountain peak in the wilderness, right?"
Chen Mu was really a little unsure.
If that place was really on a snowy peak, he really could only take a look at it from a distance, look back and make long-term plans to come back next time.
Starting from Yecheng, we arrived at Akmeqit Village. We had walked more than 300 kilometers and took about two hours.
Chen Mu's destination was Senkudi Township, where he would stay for the night.
Kudi Township is the center of the Kudi area, with dozens of households and military stations stationed there.
Generally speaking, as long as there is a military station on the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, migrant workers from other places will settle down and rely on the highway to do small businesses and earn some hard money.
Kudi Township is such a place where passers-by can get supplies.
The entrance to the Kudi area is Akazda Ban.
The word Daban is actually in Mongolian language, and it probably means high mountains and mountain passes.
When the Mongolian tribes ruled the Central Plains, the Oara tribes were nomadic in the Western Regions and ruled here. Among them, the Shuote Khanate established by the Oara people also ruled the Tibetan Plains for a time, so the name of Daban was also passed down.
The terrain of Akazdaban is very dangerous. In Uyghur language, it means "a snow-capped mountain that even monkeys are not afraid of climbing up." The slope is 27 kilometers long, and it begins to truly enter the plateau zone.
When Chen Mu was driving on the road, he felt that altitude sickness was not obvious and there was no problem of difficulty breathing. However, the difference in air pressure was huge and his ears always felt uncomfortable from time to time.
Because I didn't dare to drive fast, I walked very slowly.
Moreover, Chen Mu had to stop the car from time to time to feel the position of the thin line on the black technology map, and then check the map in his hand to find the direction... After so much trouble, it was not until the evening that he finally
Chapter completed!
