Day 7 of the trip to Tibet, may I complete the 72 turns of the Nu River today, and from now on, may my life be a smooth journey
I have finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door - Tibet
Today is the seventh day of my trip to Tibet, I visited the Qiangbalin Monastery and the Tea Horse Square. Today, I will pass the 72 turns of the Nu River, and when I reach the viewing platform, I can get off the car. This is the best perspective to overlook the 72 turns of the Nu River. There are restrooms here, use drones with caution, as they are prone to crash. On the way, reaching the Nu River Bridge, cars honk their horns, and many people will place fruits, drinks, and other 'offerings' by the bridge to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed themselves in the construction of the Nu River Bridge.
The 72 turns of the Nu River on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318, also known as the 99 bends, are higher in altitude and have a greater drop than the Panlong Ancient Road in Xinjiang; the 72 turns are also one of the most famous check-in spots on the Sichuan-Tibet line, and almost everyone who travels to Tibet wants to witness its charm, just like the slogan says 'After passing all the bends of the Nu River's 72 turns, the rest of life will be a smooth journey', from the perilous 72 turns of the Nu River, it is not hard to see the hardships of constructing the 318 highway back then.
The '72 turns of the Nu River' on National Highway 318: A cliff road of several tens of kilometers, descending 1.5 kilometers in altitude, connecting Shanghai to Tibet, with a total length of more than 5000 kilometers; this section is the essence of the long '318'. It travels along the 30th parallel north, crossing 12 mountain ridges of the Hengduan Mountains, over 11 rivers, with a total distance of more than 2000 kilometers, from basins, plains to plateaus, from hills, high mountains to extremely high mountains, rainforests, shrubs, grasslands, meadows, deserts, gradually presenting themselves, the stunning landscape is either on both sides of the road or within a hundred kilometers north or south of the road.

For many years, I wish to enter the area and feel the water of the mountain! Nowadays, I am immersed in the mountains! Several times I experienced a mountain road, from Linzhi Bomi to the 72nd turn of the Nujiang. It is a challenge to drive a car! Maybe look at the endless horizon! Can feel the freedom of the soul! A farewell, let the white clouds into a thousand years of ice and snow. Looking back on the past, I have regretted that it is a long way to go. The ruggedness of this road, the current predicament was once lost in the heart. Those distant ambitions were once stagnant due to obstacles under their feet. I am now defeated by me! Looking at this vast world. Everything is relieved, this is my longing for life!

After entering Tibet, with more and more friends on the roadside, it is more and more difficult to get on the bus.
At noon of the day, I, Xixi and Laoheng arrived at Bangda. In the evening, we were still in Bangda. Just when we had given up and walked back to the county town and planned to stay in Bangda for one day, a miracle happened. I got on a car of a Henan master who could arrive at eight nights tonight. Counting the drivers, the two SUVs are full of 5 people, and the three people in the back seat, including me, are half-way riders. I hugged the big bag on the right side of the back seat, next to the Henan guy who was very happy with the driver, and the boy next to him seemed to be familiar.
The magical moment is about to appear. I patted the buddy's shoulder and asked him if we had seen it in the Aden scenic spot. Although my heart is still quite sure that he is the one who alone walked on the 80L Kitty outdoor mountaineering bag in Aden, but after all, he did not say anything. He seemed to be shocked and immediately showed a happy smile. In this way, I met the northeast handsome guy who had met in Daocheng several times before in the car! And because his backpack looks taller, we all call him the Northeast. Ever since, this Northeast has officially joined our team.
can ride the same car with the one who has seen it in thousands of vehicles, and have to feel the magic of fate. And this big northeast has also been on our journey, with us from Lhasa to Nepal.
