We like speed because speed brings freedom, passion and independence. As an Olympic fan, Su Bingtian, the Asian flying man on this year's field, used his rocket speed to make us boil again and again. With the same speed and the same explosive power in China, the alliance of powerful countries once again reflects the never-ending spirit of sports.


I heard that during this National Day holiday, Su Shen took Yingbao to Inner Mongolia and attracted much attention along the way. Here, I also want to recommend a good place for Su Shen to relax by driving next time-Yunnan. I think this self-driving route in Yunnan is also the most suitable for him. Starting from Dali, he drove all the way from a low altitude to Shangri-La at a high altitude, going through winding mountain roads, muddy ancient roads, crossing mountains, rivers and seas, and finally speeding on the broad road. Every part of the journey was like a testimony of his pursuit of dreams. Go to Yunnan and start a journey of speed that is flying like the wind! Let's first publish a wave of beautiful pictures











While the sun had not risen, we came to the Erhai Lake and waited for the beginning of a new day. The Erhai Lake at dawn is not only quiet, but still quiet. Everything was still sleeping, and it was hazy, and the morning glow slowly reflected the outline of the mountains. I accidentally looked up, and there was already light on the top of the mountain, and the recovery of everything became clearer. The sky is vast and there is no cloud in thousands of miles. Dali is always short of sunshine in all seasons. Today will be good weather again! Looking back at the Shadow Leopard, it has a sporty fighter shape, an attacking front face, all-LED sharp headlights, a very recognizable logo, and a stubborn and unyielding attitude in its bones.


At the rear of the vehicle, the tall electric buttocks are combined with bilateral common exhaust ports and curved led taillights. The back shoulders are strong and the lower bumper is cool to form a sexy tail line.


In the cockpit, drawing on the layout of a fighter jet, the interior presents a high front and a low rear, an aircraft joystick type shifting, a three-pair steering wheel, and a dual 10.25-inch integrated screen to enhance the sense of technology and track during the entire self-driving process.


In addition, Shadow Leopard's fighter jet shape is also very cool when driving in the city. Even if there is a lot of traffic and people, the dual-clutch gearbox still performs smoothly. It is a model that well balances sports and home use. Driving your car, shuttle past the Cangshan Erhai Lake, feel the sea breeze and warm sunshine blowing in your ears. The sea water is blue and the vegetation is bright green. Time stops at this moment, and both your body and mind are stretched to the greatest extent.


Dali's mountains believe that everyone who loves photography will not miss a chase that limits the sunset. And my ultimate goal this time is Dafengba. Dafeng Dam is located on Zhemo Mountain south of Xiaguan. The wind power station, which was once ignored, has attracted many people because of its popularity on the Internet.


From Xiaguan to Dafeng Dam, there are many twists and steep slopes. In addition, it is also an important transportation route with a lot of traffic. You will encounter many overtaking and merging situations. At the same time, the mountain road ahead became more and more steep, climbing all the way, hairpin turns one after another. At this time, thanks to Shadow Leopard's "giant star chassis", it perfectly interprets "tenacity, smoothness and stability" in terms of handling. It has a smooth feel, accurate lane changes, and is more stable and soft when driving at high speeds.


It is worth mentioning that Shadow Leopard has achieved a front McPherson-style independent suspension and a later multi-link independent suspension. With the support of this independent suspension, the degree of bumps in the rear row has also been greatly reduced, greatly improving the ride experience.

Given the frequent self-driving and long-distance driving, safety has always been an important consideration when choosing a car. The dual driving assistance mode pioneered by Yingbao can detect the distance and relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacles in front of it in real time. When there is a risk of collision, it will remind and warn through visual or sound. If the driver does not actively stop, the system will actively brake to ensure safety., fatigue and distraction may occur for long-distance self-driving, which greatly ensures safety during the journey. Tips: Transportation: Fengfeng Mountain is a bit difficult to find. The location of Fengfeng Mountain in the navigation is actually wrong. You can only get off the road. On the right hand side of the destination displayed by the navigation, there is a road up the mountain, which is the real way to Fengfeng Mountain. The forestry management guard at the entrance will charge a 10 yuan entrance fee. Be sure to dress more, especially for the night view. Although Dali is warm during the day, the wind is always strong here, especially when the sun goes down. If you use an aerial camera here, be sure to pay attention to the windmill leaves and utility poles all over the place. The Ancient Tea Horse Road is half an hour's drive from the Yanxi Ferry. The next stop on the journey we come to Fengyangyi Village. Since the Yuan Dynasty, this was the station of the ancient post road in Dali and part of the Dali section of the ancient Dian-Tibet tea-horse road. When you reach the entrance of the village, you feel like a lifetime away. The mottled white walls seem to lead people to the past.


There is a yard in the village near the edge of a mountain covered with catalpa trees, hence the name Sorpa Garden. Every brick after brick is made from local materials, simple and unpretentious, but also exquisite. The terrace on the second floor of the old courtyard can overlook the Erhai Lake.

Wooden railings and earthen stone walls are intertwined, and ancient handmade small objects are very pleasing. The owner's family is very Buddhist. The cafe hidden in the grass opens entirely based on his mood. Whether he or she can meet him is a chance. After several visits, he can't help but be "shut out". He is so casual that he is extremely envious.


Tips: Don't miss his Yangchun noodles. Ji Zhao nunnery never expected that one day even the nunnery would become an Internet celebrity. Fengyang Village is less than 3 kilometers away. Drive along Gantong Road to the cableway of Cangshan Scenic Area. After getting off the bus, you will continue to climb up the mountain for 20 minutes and you will arrive at this special nunnery. The temple is full of meat, potted plants, soil cultivation, hanging plants, and even the cracks in the walls are full of vitality.




Jizhao Nunnery is named after "feeling and passing through, and silence shines through." The abbot of the temple integrates Zen meaning and aesthetics, practicing with heart, chanting Buddha with heart, taking care of the temple with heart, and also cooking vegetarian meals with heart.




Don't underestimate the vegetarian zhai here. Although the mountain road is rugged, it attracts countless people. Before 11 o'clock, there was already a long line in the pickup area. Although the door has not been opened, the aroma of the vegetables has already dissipated and overflowed. Pick up more than a dozen dishes according to your preferences and eat them until you are full. However, you need to pay attention to the fact that you must not leave leftovers. Each grain of rice will be punished by kneeling. When you come over, you must "do within your capabilities."


TIPS: Address: Follow Gantong Crossing and go straight up the mountain to the parking lot of Cangshan Geopark. You can walk to Gantong Temple, Jizhao Temple, Dayuntang, Boluo Temple; Wuwei Temple is located north of Santa Tunnel, so you can drive all the way to the parking lot. Per capita: 20 yuan/person in Jizhao Nuan, some temples are happy. Suggestion: A good place to play on weekends. You can not only climb the mountain and look far away, but also sit back and think quietly. Coffee time in Xizhou leaves Jizhao Temple and drives along National Highway 214 for almost 50 minutes to the simple and peaceful Xizhou. Compared with the bustling ancient city of Dali, it is more deserted and simple.


As a place where the Bai people lived as early as the coexistence of Liuzhao and Heman, the architecture of Xizhou Ancient Town is the most worth exploring. Walking around Xizhou Ancient Town, the streets in the ancient city and the old buildings on the corners are very illuminated. Especially the walls of this Xilin Garden, coupled with the buildings with Bai characteristics and the blue sky here, are also the most popular place for tourists to check in when they come to Xizhou.


If you want to find a coffee shop in Xizhou, then I will recommend Tian Coffee. The atmosphere of the entire store is completely consistent with the feeling of Xizhou. The two-story house, which is more than 100 years old, is equipped with tables, chairs, utensils and cups with retro texture. On the exposed gray and white walls, sunlight seeps in through the small window on the second floor, making the simple objects come alive and fragrant.

Frankly speaking, Yunnan coffee has never been my favorite thing. The balanced taste like oolong tea has always been my inherent impression. Several classic Yunnan Arabica coffees on the menu handwritten by the owner still caught my attention: "Qiupu," Heluan ". The beautiful words are full of local customs and customs in Yunnan.

The boss seems to have been trying a similar combination of coffee and tea. You can choose a quilt you like. The owner completes the entire extraction in front of you and pours the coffee into it through the coffee pot, achieving this mutual distance advancement.

It takes about 2 hours to drive from Dali Ancient City to Shaxi Ancient Town. After passing through National Highway 214 and Expressway, you can replace it with Trumpchi GS4 PLUS at this time. The vertical grille is designed with a "Shock Tianyi" design, which forms a highly recognizable "light shield" against the backdrop of light and shadow, creating the effect of shining stars.

This black technology plus model has a super-sensitive interactive smart cockpit, integrated entertainment and interconnection, and can dynamically gesture to cut songs. It is sensitive and convenient on the road, and you can enjoy your favorite music. The functions of fatigue monitoring, safety guard, automatic air conditioning, air purification system, and very considerate details, as well as multiple sensing cameras, intelligent driving assistance experience, and realizing a 360 immersive intelligent experience have left a deep impression on me.

Open the window and look outside the car. Throughout the early morning of Shaxi, the sun beside the Yujin Bridge shone on the originally depressed and dim river bank, and a Russian oil painting was drawn with light. This is the magic of nature! Being in it, I temporarily put aside the annoyance and confusion in my heart, and also regained the long-lost peace!

The biggest advantage of coming here is that there are very few tourists even during holidays, and there are still various tempting delicacies and handicrafts made purely by hand at the doorsteps of every house. The host family still warmly welcomes them, and no one is pushed and crowded.

Because the road conditions in Yunnan are complex and changeable, driving on the ancient town and the muddy mountain roads of the Tea Horse Ancient Road will pass through many potholes. At this time, a vehicle with strong power, low energy consumption, and long battery life is needed to protect the escort. The driving experience of the Trumpchi GS8 is very satisfying. Let's take a look at the model first. It adopts a hard-core aesthetic design style, combining sculptural shape with perceptual line and surface light and shadow. It is tough and domineering, and it is majestic and extraordinary.

The 390T Trumpchi third-generation engine can achieve ultra-high power and torque. It accelerates very quickly and can quickly overtake on mountain roads. The chassis of the model is high and stable, and its stability is very good when crossing a u-shaped curve. It can be said that no matter whether it is in the sand, mud, sports, and climbing are effortless. At the same time, the unique safety system protects and makes driving more leisurely and at ease.

Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Dali. Public transportation is troublesome. Take a minibus from Xiaguan to Jianchuan and then transfer. There seems to be direct access to the ancient city of Dali, but there are very few flights. TIPS: ① There are no tickets in the ancient town ② You can't drive in the ancient town. The parking lot charges 20 yuan for the night. It's a bit expensive. You can park on the roadside ③ Accommodation is very cheap. It is strongly recommended to stay for a few more days. The inns in the ancient town only cost one to one or two hundred nights ④ There are many interesting small shops here, cafes, Universe Bakery, Changshou Tea Room, and Xiyu, all of which are very distinctive




Hidden hotel under the Yulong Snow Mountain Lijiang has an outdoor Taoyuan. This is a treasure hotel located at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain and surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. It sits on the invincible mountain scenery of Yulong Mountain and is a peaceful place that is not disturbed by the noise. It is about an hour's drive from the ancient tea-horse road to this retreat.


The hotel is designed in a Chinese style and incorporates Naxi elements. The room we stayed in is opposite the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. From sunrise to sunset throughout the day, the nearby mountains sometimes face the sun and sometimes hide in the shade. As the sky and sun color change, the beautiful mountain scenery changes, and nature is the most beautiful picture scroll. The room is exquisite and warm, embodying the concept of healing everywhere. Bedside soothing music, natural scent essential oils, and air purifier are very comfortable and quiet. The price of the hotel is between 600 and 1600 and can be visited during the off-season. The price is relatively cheap and the price is very high.




This is a holy place for romance, healing, and wandering. It has a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere. It is very suitable for three or five friends or the whole family to travel and experience this colorful life together. If you are traveling with friends or the whole family, GAC Trumpchi m6 and m8 models are the best choices. For long-distance travel or self-driving, comfort is very important. The m8 has good seating space, the driver's seat has a bright view, and the second row of seats is extremely comfortable. Even the third row of space is spacious and you can stretch your legs freely.


The ultra-comfortable aviation seat has satisfactory softness and support. It is like a moving sofa. You won't feel tired even after sitting for a long time during a long distance.


10.1 An inch central control high-definition LCD screen, exclusive multi-function armrest LCD control, glass canopy, and technology-customized smart screen allow you and your family to watch movies, listen to music and enjoy a comfortable and luxurious journey in the car. What is even more gratifying is the customized smart refrigerator that cools off anytime, anywhere during the summer.



If you travel frequently as a family, you can also consider the economical Trumpchi m6. In addition to the equally spacious second and third rows of space, the layout of the storage space in the car is also very reasonable.




Carry a lot of luggage and photographic equipment for long-distance travel. The Trumpchi M6 1100L has a large magic luggage space that fully meets all luggage needs, especially for those with children at home and families with a second child. It is safe, convenient and economical. It is very suitable in all aspects.


Searching for the Lost Horizon The Lost Horizon by British writer James Selton depicts an eternal, peaceful and tranquil place far in the mountains of the East. It's called Shangri-La. Where is this mysterious country that appears in the novel? In fact, there has been some controversy. In Nepal, Mustang, Baltistan, Ladakh, Daocheng Aden, Chayu, Bomi, Nyingchi, and Zhongdian, renamed "Shangri-La", all regard themselves as "Shangri-La Downs." The "Shangri-La" in the novel is located on the Tibetan-Han border, where there are the mysterious and peaceful Blue Moon Valley, the Karakal Snow Mountain that towers into the sky like a pyramid, and the majestic Lama Temple... In order to find this answer, I drove from Lijiang to Shangri-La, and here I look for the disappeared horizon and the deepest echoes in my heart.



Songzanlin Temple is the first place to awaken in Shangri-La every day. In the morning, green smoke hangs above this little Buda Palace. It looks very similar to the mysterious temple mentioned in the book. The shape of the temple is like a castle, and it is resplendent under the sun. The towering Bell and Drum Tower tells the time in the morning, noon and dusk, and the sound can be heard for ten miles. Climb up the small slope next to the temple in the evening and admire Songzanlin Temple under the sunset.


The most special thing on this trip was Balagzong, which is very similar to the Moon Valley in the novel. In an isolated place, the horse and horse post road hidden on cliffs is the only way for the people of Bala Village to get out of the mountains. At the end of the road is the stupa, a beautiful cliff canyon, and the followers move forward on the winding road. Heavy snow covers the green woods.


Traveling through the silver-clad world by car, or enjoying the scenery on foot during parking breaks, is like walking in a painting. You can't bear to move your eyes away, and you even forget to use the lens in your hand to capture and record this magical picture. Shambhala Pagoda is the highest point that can be reached in Balagzon. The snowy plains are vast and the cold wind is chilly, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue. Standing not far away, high above and sacred and inviolable. Some people say that the Balag people envy Lhasa for having the Potala Palace, while the Lhasa people envy the Balag people for having the Shambhala Pagoda. This shows the profound and important significance of the Pagoda in Tibetan areas. Facing the whistling wind, walk in the snow, stare at the Shambhala Pagoda standing proudly in the blue sky, silently make a wish, and feel calm and happy inside.
