On February 26, 2021, the fifteenth day of the first month, we set off. The journey is 7656 kilometers and lasted 37 days to span five provinces, passing through half of Guizhou and half of Yunnan Province. In 37 days, we went from winter to summer, and then from summer to winter, feeling the rapid changes in the seasons of heat and cold. The total cost was 10,902.03 yuan.

Including refueling 4168.94

Toll 887.00

Tickets for battery car in the scenic area 2249.00

Parking fee for shared bicycle 140.99

Accommodation 1051.00

Diet 1888.10

Gift 433.00

Daily necessities 84.00

On the first day, 2021.2.26, we didn't take the highway from Jinan. Now that both of us are retired, there is no time limit. It is easy to miss a lot of scenery when walking on the highway. After an eight-hour drive, we arrived at the Qifeng Ancient Garden in Zhuxian Town, Kaifeng. Zhuxian Town is one of the four famous towns. It was 4:30 in the afternoon, and it was getting late. I wanted to check the situation first and then come back the next morning. The security guard introduced that today was the 15th day of the first lunar month. Usually, I get off work at 5:30 and have a light show today, but I get off work until 8:30. We bought tickets and went in. Normally, each ticket was twenty yuan, because there were thirty-one tickets for the light show. Members of the Photography Association are free of charge, and they are very happy. Being able to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the town is definitely more lively than in the city. The result is a little disappointing. Perhaps due to the epidemic, the scenery after entering the door is pleasant. There are not many tourists and not many lights. At that time, we thought it was not dark yet, but before the time to light up the lights, we waited until it was completely dark, and we realized that there were really few lights. There are only a few places hanging folded lanterns for tourists to guess lantern riddles and some small gifts. The winter in Kaifeng is also relatively cold, about three to four degrees Celsius at night. We stayed at the Binzhiyuan Express Hotel near the scenic spot.

The next day, February 27, take National Roads 220, 234, and 130 to Gulongzhong in Xiangyang to see where Liu Bei, who studied in middle school, visited the cottage three times. I also drove for nearly eight hours. What is unforgettable is that when we arrived near Pingdingshan, we enjoyed the feeling of sitting in a sedan chair all the way. The road was full of pits of varying sizes and depths. Traffic moving around looking for a shallow road surface is a test of the driver's skills. It also tests the passenger's waist support. For someone like me who has had waist surgery, it feels like I have to collapse.

Book tickets and hotels at Ctrip and choose to stay at Tuwo Holiday Hotel (Xiangyang Gulongzhong Wolong Store). The online reviews were good. The boss was really nice after checking in. The comment said that he would give dolls when bringing children in. Unexpectedly, we also had one. He asked the boss if we could give gifts at our age. He said that he would give them a small gift during the New Year. Everyone was happy. Afraid that we would not adapt to the local conditions, he even gave them a few more bottles of mineral water, which was very thoughtful.

On the third day, February 28, it rained in Xiangyang these days. It was not too big or too small. It was typical of the rain in the south. It was okay without holding an umbrella but wet clothes. We went to the Gulongzhong Scenic Area to play, where Liu Bei visited the cottage three times in the middle school Chinese textbook. Because of the epidemic, only one scenic spot,"Zhuge Former Residence", was opened, and all others were closed. The ticket is 87 yuan per person (including the tour bus in the park). By chatting with the tour bus driver, it seems that Guangde Temple has recently opened. After visiting the former residence, the driver took us to Guangde Temple, which is considered to be two of the eight scenic spots. Some scenic spots may not be open when traveling during the epidemic, but the biggest advantage is that there are few tourists. There is another middle-aged woman on the bus. The entire park is particularly quiet in the drizzle, as if traveling through.

It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon when we left Longzhong, and the rain was getting a little heavy, so we decided to take the highway and go straight to Guizhou. As a result, a new problem occurred at the entrance of the highway. The ETC on my car could not be recognized, but it was still impossible to transfer to the manual entrance. We could not always block the entrance. If it was a violation, we had to get a card to enter the highway, and the discount on tolls was gone. My family's ETC was set up very early. It was set up in 2014. It was a stored value B card. I called Shandong Expressway customer service to inquire and said that it needed to be activated twice. However, our machine was too old and had no Bluetooth, so I couldn't operate it by myself. I had to wait until I returned to Jinan and went to the business hall to handle it. This time, I had to use artificial channels to take the highway. It's really frustrating.

We stopped from time to time when it rained on the highway and didn't dare to run too late. When we arrived at the Taohuayuan service area after seven o'clock, we parked the car. There was a pattering light rain outside. Lying in the car and listening to the sound of rain hitting the roof of the car was like listening to a lullaby.

On the fourth day, March 1, on the Hangzhou-Ruizhou Expressway, the rain fell intermittently and reached the Jinhai Snow Mountain in Panjiang Town, Guiding County, Guizhou Province at around 5 o'clock. The scenic area is quite large and free of admission. It may be too late and cloudy and rainy, so there are not many tourists. The Jinhai Snow Mountain is not a snow-capped mountain in practical terms. It is named after the large tracts of rapeseed flowers and the snow-like pear blossoms blooming all over the mountains. It was very cold in Guiding today. I wanted to find a hotel to stay in, but I came out of the parking lot and found a farmhouse for accommodation and meals. It looked okay and asked for 120 yuan, but I even got 100 yuan. I felt that I could go to the scenic spot tomorrow without moving my car. After staying there, I found that it was not as bad as it was. The room itself was not big and there was nothing in the bathroom, including toilet paper. The quilt is very damp, the air conditioner is noisy and the heating effect is not good. The place we stayed in this time is the worst place we have encountered in the past few years since we were driving. It was a lesson. We must never find a place to eat and stay at the entrance of the scenic spot in the future. It's over.

On the fifth day, on March 2, there are seventeen Buyi villages in the Jinhai Snow Mountain. On March 8, there will be a large-scale event in the scenic area, so all small attractions are being upgraded, and some are not open. The advantage is that there are no tickets, and it is estimated that you will have to buy tickets for the 3.8 event. There are battery cars and bicycles rented in the scenic area, and there are also small trains running through various attractions. We drove and stopped in about 3 hours.

Take National Highway 210 from Yinzhai to Qingyan Ancient Town. There is a section of road construction in the middle, which is very bumpy and difficult to walk. Admission to the ancient town is ten yuan. Personally, I think that every ancient town is similar and has a serious commercial atmosphere. There are not many tourists in Qingyan Ancient Town. At six or seven o'clock in the evening, some shops begin to open their doors and leave work. There were no lights on the city wall except for the lights on the gate towers.

On the sixth day, March 3, I finished visiting the ancient town last night and lived in the ancient town parking lot. The parking fee was 10 yuan during the day and 20 yuan for the night. We parked in a small garage at the innermost end of the North Gate Parking Lot, which seemed to be a private or small yard of a water plant behind it. There is no bathroom, which is not very convenient. The Ximen Parking Lot in the ancient town is a parking lot specially for self-driving tours and is fully equipped. We weren't sure when we came here, so we turned in when we passed the first North Gate parking lot. The advantage is that the parking lot is irregular and the management is irregular. The caretaker is not on duty 24 hours a day. When we left at 7:30 in the morning, the caretaker had not yet gone to work, which virtually saved the parking fee of 20 yuan.

It takes a two-hour drive from Qingyan to Pingba, Anshun. Ten thousand acres of cherry blossoms are grown on Pingba Farm, with more than 500,000 trees, divided into two varieties: morning and evening cherry blossoms. The morning cherry blossoms are white, the evening cherry blossoms are red, and the morning and evening cherry blossoms are about more than a month. We arrived a little early and it was not yet in full bloom. There are not many flowers in bloom, so you can't see the beautiful scenes of flowers. The advantage is that there are no traffic jams and few people, and private cars can drive in at will. After the Cherry Blossom Festival on March 5th, it is necessary to buy tickets and take sightseeing buses. Although the flowers were not blooming enthusiastically, the scenery was really good and there were not many tourists. We also found an open space by the lake to boil water and cook rice, which was very comfortable.

After leaving Pingba, the next stop is Huangguoshu Waterfall. It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Huangguoshu Town. I checked directly into Soterai Literary Hotel and wanted to rest and take a hot bath. The hotels I stayed in a few days ago were very cold and I didn't dare to take a shower. Only when I arrived in the south did I realize how happy it was to have heating at home in the cold winter. In the evening, we went to a restaurant for the first time since our trip. For safety and hygiene, we cooked our own meals. There are almost no people to eat and stay in hotels and restaurants in the town. Huangguoshu Waterfall is now off-season. Coupled with the epidemic, some restaurants have closed their doors, and some have not even turned on their lights. Such restaurants dare not enter for fear that the ingredients will not be fresh. Finally, I found a restaurant that also served breakfast and felt that the ingredients should be relatively guaranteed. I went in and saw that the fish were alive, so I ordered a special sour soup fish for 55 yuan per catty. It seems that the asking price is not low in times of recession! The fish weighs three kilograms, and the side dishes are given as a gift and the taste is not bad.

On the seventh day, March 4, Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area is divided into three attractions, Tianxing Bridge, Doudou Pond, and Great Waterfall. Adult tickets plus tour buses in the park are 220 yuan, valid for two days. Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the farthest and largest. The rocks and waterfalls inside are very distinctive. In front of the famous Silver Chain Falling Waterfall, I climbed onto a big stone in order to take photos. I accidentally slipped and fell off, which scared my old man and the surrounding tourists jumped. Some enthusiastic young men wanted to come forward to help me. Because I had surgery on my waist, I didn't dare to let others pull me. I thanked the warm-hearted person and lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. It was very embarrassing. Fortunately, when I fell, I protected the camera very well. I fell on my back. The backpack on my back helped me cushion it, and my left arm was injured a little. At Tianxing Bridge, only the water stone forest was not seen due to maintenance. It took more than three hours to tour it.

Huangguoshu Waterfall is a scenic spot for the Great Waterfall. It may be due to the seasons. The water volume in the waterfalls is not large. Even so, you can hear the sound of water rushing from far away. We walked 7.5 kilometers at Tianxing Bridge, and we walked the Great Waterfall for another hour and a half. I really couldn't walk anymore. I spent 30 yuan on the escalator for the return journey, and the round-trip escalator ticket was 50 yuan.

The closest attraction to the gate of the scenic spot is Doudou Pond, which is the filming place where the Tang Priest and his apprentice in the 86 edition of Journey to the West were on their way to learn scriptures. It takes 40 minutes to shop.

At four o'clock, we took the 320 National Highway to the 24-turn scenic spot in Qinglong County. We were supposed to arrive at around seven o'clock in the evening, but after driving for less than an hour and a half, the road began to fog. It can really be said that we can't see our fingers! The visibility was extremely poor, so I drove carefully all the way. When I passed a small town, I quickly stopped and didn't dare to leave. I got off the bus and took a look. It turned out that we had arrived in Yongning Town, Guanling. There was also an ancient city in the town. We parked under the ancient city wall and prepared to leave tomorrow at dawn. Safety comes first when going out.

On the eighth day, on the morning of March 5, there was still fog, which was better than last night. I'm a little worried that I can't see the 24 turn because of the fog. The mountain village on the roadside looked like ink painting in the clouds and mist. After walking for more than an hour, the clouds and mist gradually dispersed and we saw the first faint ray of sunshine since we traveled.

The ticket for the 24-lane turn and the battery car are 80 yuan. Take the 24-lane turn by car to the hilltop observation deck. You can have a panoramic view of the 24-lane turn, and there is also a Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall.

According to the staff, there was a Mabang Village site that had been closed due to its pure wooden structure. It was on our way to the Maling River, so we turned to have a look.

It is more than four hours 'drive from Mabang Village to Maling River Canyon. Unexpectedly, when you turn from Provincial Highway 313 to Guanxing Highway, a nightmare will come. There are big pits on the road, with bigger pits. There are also large and small stones. Even large trucks have to twist and try to find a balance, let alone these small cars. We arrived in Xingyi City at around 7 p.m., went to RT-Mart Supermarket to replenish some food, and parked in the parking lot of Maling River Canyon Scenic Area at night.

On the ninth day, March 6, Wanfenglin Scenic Area, tickets and battery cars are 115 per person. My strategy for visiting Wanfenglin was still imperfect. In the morning, I drove to the parking lot of Wanfenglin Square, which is the south gate of the scenic area. I didn't need a ticket. Many local people came to spend the weekend with the old and the young. The plank road for walking, the plastic road for cycling, and the lane for sightseeing trains are clearly distinguished as soon as you enter the door. We entered on foot and were told that we had to walk eight kilometers to reach Jiangjun Bridge at the entrance of the scenic spot where we checked in. Because the scenery was too beautiful to miss, I insisted on walking. When I came in the morning, it was still cloudy, so I hoped that the sky would open my eyes. I stopped and stopped all the way, and I arrived at Jiangjun Bridge in about three hours. It was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. The sky is getting a little clearer. The sightseeing buses leave at full capacity. Today, there are more people. The driver will also serve as a part-time guide. He will stop every time he goes to an attraction to let tourists take photos. It's good. The scenery in Wanfeng Forest is very beautiful. The only drawback is that the weather is not very sunny today. Back at Jiangjun Bridge, we really didn't have the energy to walk another eight kilometers. We took a one-way small train with fifty-one tickets and only took 15 minutes to return by car. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the parking lot. I didn't want to move and just buried myself in the pot to make food. I stayed in the Wanfenglin parking lot at night.

On the tenth day, March 7th, it started to rain from 9:20 last night. It really felt like spring was here. There was lightning and thunder. The rain was falling so hard that it hit the roof of the car, making it crackling, and I was afraid that it would turn into hail. It rained until after 2 o'clock in the morning before it became a little smaller. When I woke up in the morning, it was drizzling and foggy again. We didn't want to take the Panshan Highway. We originally wanted to go to Gulongbao and Wanfeng Lake. Looking at the weather forecast, Guizhou was still rainy recently, so we decided to go directly to Luoping, Yunnan. It only takes an hour and 40 minutes to walk from Wanfenglin to Luoping on the Jiangzhao Highway on National Highway 324. It is difficult to enter the rapeseed fields when it rains, so I first stay at Xinding Express Hotel and rest for a day to see if I can wait for good weather tomorrow. At noon, I ate a bowl of local mutton rice noodles near the hotel. The taste was not bad. The boss said that there were fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast and planned to come back tomorrow morning. I have been out for ten days, and I really want to eat fried dough sticks.

On the morning of the eleventh day, March 8, it was still drizzling and the water vapor was very strong. Standing in front of the hotel window, I felt that I would stay in the hotel to rest today. I went back to bed and slept. I got up at nine o'clock to check the sky. I felt that it was going to clear up, so I quickly checked out and set out for the rapeseed field. The first stop I went to was Lazhuang Village. It was a small group of places to watch rapeseed flowers. Not many people went there, and I was very enthusiastic when I met a local person.

The second stop is Niujie Luotian, just on the edge of County Road 042. There is no need to buy tickets, but now the villagers have marked a parking space on the roadside for ten yuan per car.


After watching Luositian, continue to drive along County Road 042 for about 30 kilometers and you will reach Yagetang, Majie Town. You can see the perfect combination of terraces and rapeseed flowers. Where the streets are so narrow that parking is impossible. I walked into the village myself and took a small path to the mountains to take photos. My old man looked for a place to park. Walking alone in the flower field still feels beautiful, but when I get to the mountains, I feel a little scared. I am alone all over the mountains and plains. He quickly pressed the shutter and took a few pictures before heading down the mountain. As we walked and watched, I would get off the bus to take photos if there was a beautiful scenery. The old man would be responsible for finding land to park the car, and the cooperation was very tacit.

It was still cloudy when we were in Luosi Field, but it cleared up when we arrived at Majie. Taking advantage of the good weather, we should hurry to the Jinji Peak Cong. Tickets for the attraction are 17 yuan. Today is Women's Day on March 8, and tickets are free for women. The scenery of Jinji Peak Cong is more similar to that of Wanfeng Forest, except that tourists are closer to the sea of flowers and there are two viewing platforms. You can see the perfect combination of flowers and mountains from a high place. I was lucky today. By five o'clock, the clouds had lightened a lot, and I was probably able to see the sunset. So I waited patiently on the observation deck. At six o'clock, I finally saw the afterglow of the sunset.

At night, we stayed in the parking lot opposite the scenic area. It was the staff parking lot of the Jinji Service Area of the Expressway. It had a bathroom and hot water, which was very comfortable. Let's see if we can have any luck watching the sunrise tomorrow morning.

The twelfth day, March 9th, set off for Puzehei today. It was foggy in the morning and there was no hope for sunrise. There was only one mountain road from here to Puzehei. There are many corners and it takes about 40 minutes. Unexpectedly, the fog became much worse as soon as we entered the winding mountain road, and the visibility was less than five meters. That is, in the morning, if it is evening, I don't dare to leave. At about ten o'clock, the fog gradually dispersed. There were not many cars on the road at that time. My driver let himself go a little. He was running faster and faster on the curve. The car swung its tail on a sharp corner. Thanks to the old man's good driving skills, the danger was controlled, which scared me to fear. There were cliffs on both sides of the road, which was too dangerous. I watched the driver and controlled the speed all the way. I reached the top of the mountain at about eleven o'clock. I didn't expect that there was a market for live cattle and pigs on the mountain. The car pulling livestock was parked on the roadside. I just said that it was too dangerous. There were two lanes in total. Parking was still occupied by the road, but it was blocked before turning a corner. There was a tourist bus in front of him. There was a large truck parked in the opposite lane. There was no driver on the bus. The bus could not turn around and was stuck in the corner. To make matters worse, it was just the day of the market, and various stalls on both sides of the road, pedestrians and motorcycles were blocked and unable to move. Half an hour later, the police arrived, called people, directed driving, and conducted various counseling. After being stuck for two and a half hours, they finally started. Look at the sign on the roadside. It's a big gathering in Gaoliang Township, Shizong County. When I left, the man from my family expressed his gratitude to the policeman standing in the traffic. The two of them shook hands cordially and said goodbye. It was a particularly beautiful picture. When I wanted to take photos, the car had already started with the traffic. I was very sorry.

It should be around twelve o'clock noon when we arrive at Puzhehei, but when we get stuck in traffic, it will be 4:30 in the afternoon. We parked in the Xianrendong parking lot. Parking is large and free. There are also no tickets. Perhaps due to the off-season, Puzhei is the most beautiful in June and July, with lotus flowers blooming and surrounded by green mountains. It's getting late and going in for a general look first, and I'll have a closer tour tomorrow.

On the thirteenth day, March 10, the place where we parked our car was Xianrendong Village. The village is full of B & Bs, restaurants and Ministores. It is a bit like the ancient city of Lijiang, only much smaller. Xianren Cave is not open, and tickets are not required for the scenic area. Transportation and ticket costs 200 yuan per person. Yesterday afternoon I visited Xianrendong Village. Today's itinerary is to take pictures of the peach blossoms of Sansheng III and watch the sunset on Qinglong Mountain. I just wanted to stroll around and rent a battery car to go to Qinglong Mountain and other scenic spots in the afternoon. They were all near Puzehei Village. As a result, they were wandering around, and it seemed that they could walk the way to Puzehei Village. After checking the navigation, it was real, so I just walked there, which was about 3.8 kilometers. Fortunately, the camera was brought with him and not a tripod, so shooting sunset would be affected. I didn't bring a climbing pole or a waist protector (I had surgery on my lumbar spine). I didn't feel tired as I walked and photographed all the way. It was much closer than the eight kilometers in Wanfeng Forest.


There is no entrance fee now for the filming location of Ten Miles Peach Blossom in Sansheng and the Third Generation, but it seems that it will soon be available. It is not the same scenic spot as Puzhei, but it is very close to each other. The peach blossoms are fake and real. They are so beautiful. The hometown of Qingqiu and Baiqian is really a fairyland on earth.

Less than 700 meters out, we arrived at Qinglong Mountain. I felt a little tired and didn't want to climb the mountain. I went to the foot of the mountain to see if it wasn't too high, so I just climbed. I also wanted to take pictures of the sunset. I finally climbed to the top of the mountain and found a place to take photos. It was still early. At around 3:30 in the afternoon, I wanted to find a place to sit down first. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred. I might be a little tired. A stumbling person fell to the ground and the camera fell. It was so painful that I couldn't stand up. The tourists around me helped me up and made room for me to sit down. I fell a little hard, my left shoulder was so painful that I didn't dare to move, and my right hand was badly bruised, which made me cry. It took more than an hour to relax a little. The old man wanted to help me down the mountain, but I fell. I had to take a picture of the sunset. I'm sure I won't be able to climb up here to take a sunrise again tomorrow morning. I insisted on waiting until after seven o'clock. After filming the sunset and going down the mountain, I couldn't walk anymore. I took the local villagers 'tricycle and returned to the parking lot for ten yuan per person. I didn't make dinner either. I went to the village to drink rice noodles.

On the 14th day, on the morning of March 11, I got up and cooked a slow breakfast and boiled water. I had enough to eat and drink and tidy up. It was past ten o'clock, and I had to leave no matter how reluctant I was. The next stop is Jianshui. Take Provincial Highway 305 to connect with County Road H14. There are not many cars. There are large tracts of farmland and red land along the roadside, and there are some small Kanas landforms. Passing through Shadian Town, Gejiu City, we visited the Shadian Grand Mosque, which is the third largest mosque in the world after the Saudi Arabian Temple of Mecca and the Medina Holy Temple.

Parking in the parking lot of Zhude Park in Jianshui County at night. It is not a big place and there are few parking spaces, making it very quiet.

On the fifteenth day, March 12, I got up quite early in the morning. After washing up, I left without breakfast. Today, we are going to take the Jianshui meter-gauge train, which runs in the morning and afternoon. I am afraid it will be too late to drive at 9 a.m. The parking location is good and there are few parking spaces, so I don't plan to drive and take a bus to a total of four stops. We arrived before eight o'clock. As soon as we went to work, the staff at the ticket office informed us that there were no seat tickets for the nine o'clock train, and there were not many standing tickets left. Now most of the tickets are booked online. It's quite comfortable to have a standing ticket in hot weather, because it's more convenient to see the scenery from the fence outside the carriage. The train ticket is 100 yuan per person. Today, it is still on the special day of March 8, and women are half price.

We started from Lin 'an Station and passed through Shuanglongqiao Station. Shuanglongqiao is one of the famous historical sites in Yunnan and has been included in the history of bridge building in China. Three holes were first built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and fourteen holes were built to connect them during the Daoguang period, commonly known as the Seventeen-Hole Bridge.

Xianghuiqiao Station is the most distinctive station on the Bilinping Railway. It is also a modern building with a single eaves that combines the characteristics of Chinese and French architecture.

Tuanshan Station is located in Tuanshan Village, 13 kilometers west of Jianshui Ancient City. Tuanshan Village was historically the residence of the Yi people. In Yi language, it was called "Tushel", which means "a place where gold is hidden and silver is buried."

The Gebi Linping Railway is the first and only private railway in China that still exists to this day. It was originally an inch gauge but was converted into a meter gauge in 1970.

In the afternoon, I went to the ancient city of Jianshui. Everything in the ancient city is similar. At the west gate, there is a good small restaurant called {Lin 'an Taste}. It is said that this is a restaurant eaten by locals. The grass sprout rice noodles are a specialty. They cost ten yuan, fifteen yuan, and twenty yuan. I ordered a serving of fifteen and twenty donkey meat rice noodles. The same large sea bowl with enough powder. The boss always charges by 15. After eating and drinking enough, I went to see Osaka Well again. Local residents all draw water here to drink. I wonder how it tastes and whether there is any good spring water in our hometown.

The 16th day, March 13, went to Yuanyang Terrace today and took National Highway 245. Just after passing Jianshui Potou Township, there was a traffic jam on the mountain road. I don't know if it was due to the sudden appearance of fog or other reasons, but wait patiently. Fortunately, it opened to traffic in an hour, and it turned out to be under construction.

We arrived at Yuanyang at noon. I don't know if we arrived a little later, but some of the terraces had already been planted with seedlings. I had been running for more than an hour following the route given by my fellow riders, but I didn't see any terraces with water. The old man carefully checked the map and found that the navigation had guided the wrong route. It should be the provincial highway from Yuanyang Old County to Luchun County. We ran on the second-class national highway from Yuanyang to Luchun. Returning again, I finally saw a large area of legendary terraces. Nowadays, private cars are no longer allowed to enter the terraced scenic area. You have to take scenic transportation vehicles. The four observation platforms are not in the same direction, which makes it inconvenient. We didn't go in and looked at the terraces outside.

Take the expressway from Taoyuan and the next stop is Jinghong City. Park in the Mojiang service area at night. This service area is excellent. There are parking spots specially reserved for RVs. Each parking space has a sink, cooking counter and leisure platform.

On the 17th day, March 14, we had breakfast from the service area and continued on, arriving at Jinghong City, the capital of Xishuangbanna Prefecture at 1.30 noon. The charge is 263 yuan when getting off the highway. Gaode navigation shows that there should be more than 170. The gap was a bit big. I called the High-speed Administration Bureau and had a very good attitude. I said I would wait until I asked the High-speed Toll Station before asking for them to call me. About an hour later, a staff member called and explained the situation in detail. It turned out that the toll on plain roads was about 0.5 yuan per kilometer. On the Yunguichuan Mountain Road with many tunnels, tolls can reach one or two yuan per kilometer. The explanation was very clear, thoughtful and enthusiastic. Thank you very much.

The hotel we stayed in is near Dafo Temple. There is a roast chicken and grilled fish restaurant nearby, where many locals eat. We also went in and tasted it. The dishes tasted good, but they were all a little spicy. After dinner, I went to the nearby forest park, which should be a place for leisure and entertainment for nearby residents. Just in front of the Great Buddha Temple, as soon as you walk in, you can smell the fragrance of vegetation. At this time, the Great Buddha Temple was closed and it was impossible to enter.

The 18th day, March 15th, my family didn't want to move today, so he rode a shared electric bike to Manting Park. The park is not very large, and the buildings and flowers are beautiful. The girls wore Dai costumes, and the aunts waved long skirts and shawls, occupying the front, rear, left and right of each building. The side door of Manting Park is connected to the General Buddhist Temple. Without going abroad, it is like going to Myanmar and Thailand.

The temperature was a little high at noon, so I went back to the hotel to rest. At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we rode to Gaozhuang West Shuangjing. Driving in the city was not as comfortable as riding a bicycle. I wanted to check in at the Internet celebrity coffee shop, but there were too many people in line and I had to give up. I went directly to Dajinxiang Temple, and then visited the famous Xingguang Night Market. I saw the scenery of Southeast Asia and listened to the sound of Northeast China. The night market is similar to other night markets, and most of the owners are Northeastern people. After visiting the Xingguang Night Market, we rode to the Binjiang Night Market where locals visited and walked along the Lancang River.

On the 19th day, March 16, I had breakfast and went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and fruits. The green onions here are really expensive, 8 yuan per catty. Our Fuji apples in Shandong cost 7 yuan a catty. The big apples at home are only 2.5 kilograms. I thought that when I arrived in Xishuangbanna, I could eat tropical fruits as much as I could. The fruits here were not cheap at all. I drove to the virgin forest park first. When I saw the entrance, I needed to climb a mountain. I fell on the Qinglong Mountain in Puzhei and hurt my knee. Walking on a flat road is very painful, and you can't climb the mountain at all. The second stop is the Keno Shanzhai, with a ticket of 152 yuan. It is mainly song and dance performances and virgin forests. We are going to the Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Wangtianshu Scenic Area, both of which have large virgin forests. So the Keno Village did not enter. I arrived at the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at around 2 p.m.. It was too late to enter at this time. I parked the car in the parking lot and entered the park early tomorrow morning.

On the 20th day, at 8 a.m. on March 17, we entered as soon as the Botanical Garden opened. The park is very large, divided into east and west districts. Tickets can only be used for one day, so I bought a battery car for the entire park. Tickets plus battery car are 175 yuan per person. It's a little nervous to shop carefully for one day. It would be nice if the tickets were valid for two days. There are many varieties of plants and flowers in the park. Mobile phones and cameras can be used together and forgotten as you take pictures. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon after I finished shopping in the West District. Fortunately, I bought a battery ticket for the whole park. In this way, we visited the emerald scenic area in the eastern district, but we couldn't take a step when we reached the tropical rainforest. It's already past 4 o'clock in the afternoon after leaving the scenic area. It's been more than eight hours, but I still haven't visited the tropical rainforest scenic area. I want to go to Wangtianshu tomorrow, but I am too tired to go.

At night, I continued to spend the night in the parking lot and met two big brothers in Northeast China, one for each and one for each. One of the eldest brothers is a cancer patient. He learned to drive in his sixties after surgery and wandered among the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Six or seven years have passed, and his health is getting better and better. He is a role model for me.

On the 21st day, March 18, we depart from the Botanical Garden to the Dai Garden. After running on National Highway 219, I passed a small town. I got off the bus and replenished my fruit and mineral water. I had not had breakfast yet. I saw some soybean milk and fried dough sticks on the roadside. Fortunately, the fried dough sticks seemed to be made of powder. It was very sweet and had sediments. It was not as good as the freshly ground soybean milk in the north. It tasted good. Oil is also rapeseed oil, which is not as fragrant as peanut oil. But it can also solve the cravings. The last time refueling was in the Mojiang service area of the expressway, and the oil price was 6.98 yuan. Today, the oil price at PetroChina in Manmaikong was 7.21 yuan. This oil price has simply increased the cost of travel this time.

Admission to Dai Garden is 45 yuan per person. Battery cars are charged extra. There are mainly several Dai villages in the park, all of which are inhabited by local people. Dai houses are all empty on the first floor where cars can be parked, the second floor is a normal room, and the stairs are all in the middle of the house. Basically every household has become a B & B hotel. The courtyard is full of flowers and succulent plants. It is very beautiful.

In the Splashing Square, I feel very good watching other tourists splash and play. It was past three o'clock in the afternoon after I finished visiting the Dai Garden. I felt that there was still time, so I was ready to go to Mengjinglai to stay. Mengjinglai is a stockade on the China-Myanmar border, so we can enter the stockade early tomorrow morning to play. There are boundary markers inside, and a little further you will reach the Gate of Daluo. For some unknown reason, the Daluomen Gate Scenic Area was closed. If you go to Mengjing to see the boundary monuments, you have all come here. As a result, after passing the first border checkpoint in Menghai County, there was a second border checkpoint more than 20 kilometers out of Menghai County. The police officer said that it was best to return to Menghai County. Even if we let us pass, the next checkpoint would persuade us to return. Tourists are not allowed to go to Mengjinglai by themselves without a local guide. We must go back to Menghai to find a local tour guide. It was already six or seven o'clock late at that time, and night fell. The checkpoint is at the entrance of the Menghai County Tourist Service Center. The police officer asked us to stay in the square for one night, and asked the police on duty to open the gate for us to return to Menghai tomorrow morning. We couldn't find a tour guide. There was a bed on the bus and only two seats, so we had to give up and go to Mengjing.

On the 22nd day, March 19, I got up early and bid farewell to the police officers and border armed police at the checkpoint. Even if you want to get up late, you can't even get up late. The operators of the visitor center start setting up stalls at 6 a.m. The bus arrived at seven o'clock with tourists. Security check here. Follow Provincial Highway 320 from the center and drive for twenty minutes to Jingzhen Bajiao Pavilion. It is just a small monastery with an octagonal pavilion in the courtyard. Although the temple is not big, its status in the Buddhist world is not low. The location is a bit out of the way. If it wasn't for a self-driving tour, you wouldn't see it. We went in to visit, but there were no tourists. Only one master was sweeping the floor.

There is an old village of the Wengji Bulang nationality in Lancang. In the Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Scenic Area, it is a road paved with small stones, which is a bit bumpy. Moreover, this kind of road is more than 20 kilometers long, and it is nearly a hundred miles back and forth. It makes my waist sore and my butt sore. It was 3:30 in the afternoon when I came out, and I parked in the parking lot at the entrance of Bailian Pu 'er Tea Estate. I was going to the original ancient Wa village in Wengding tomorrow, but on February 14, 2021, a fire burned the last ancient Wa village. It's really important to travel early, but I couldn't see it in a gap of more than ten days. From then on, there will be no tiled villages in the world.

It was past six o'clock in the evening, and the old man in the parking lot came to chase us away, saying that we couldn't spend the night. I reasoned with him that we had parked here for a long time, but you didn't say anything. Now that it's getting dark, you won't let it stop and bully us from other places. We didn't want to have too many disputes when we were away, so we quickly drove to find a new parking place. There is a car tourism camp on the edge of National Highway 219 more than ten kilometers away. It is much better than the parking lot just now. The pool and toilet are complete and the environment is also good. There are already three RVs parked here.

On the 23rd day, on the morning of March 20, I got up slowly and cleaned up and cooked breakfast. I didn't want to move the car today, so I took a rest on the spot. Wash clothes, drink tea, and chat with riders. By ten o'clock, the sun was shining in the parking lot. Look at the map. Old Dabao is not far from us. Drive there to have a look. I originally thought that every village was similar, but I didn't expect Lao Dabao to give me a big surprise.

The stockade is the stockade of the Lahu people, primitive. The folk customs are simple and have not been infected by commercial atmosphere at all. The national costumes of the Lahu people are particularly beautiful and are purely handmade. They want to buy a backpack for their little granddaughter. The young man in the store heard that it was a little girl of four or five years old and told us that such a young girl does not carry a backpack. The belt is of fixed length, and only girls who carry schoolbags when they become adults. This thing really moved us. It was so simple and kind. The children of the Lahu ethnic group have been able to sing since they can speak. We just happened to catch up with the song and dance performances of the ethnic group. The real original environment, and the children's high-pitched voices are no less inferior. The famous film and television song "Lusheng Love Song" is adapted from the tune of the Lahu folk song. Moreover, this stockade is free to visit, and it is very enthusiastic regardless of whether you meet the elderly or young people. It is an unforgettable place. The facilities are still very good, with free toilets and parking lots in several places, which were not available in the few villages we visited. The stockade is not big to begin with, so tourists will find it particularly convenient. I am afraid that as time goes by, there will be charges sooner or later.

I feel in a good mood after visiting Lao Dabao and don't feel tired, so just move on. Walking towards Shuangjiang as planned, we arrived at the first parking point at around 4 p.m., on the edge of National Highway 214, where the mountain road turns, and there was also a construction site, so we couldn't stop. When I arrived at the den in Shangyun Town, it was a small courtyard on the roadside with no toilet and was adjacent to a dangerous building, which was not very safe. My old man said that there is another parking point ten kilometers ahead. It is a basketball court in the village. It was okay when I arrived. I stopped to cook, but when the rice was ready, new problems were discovered. This is a venue at the head of the village, with a strong rural atmosphere and dense flying objects, so I can't sit still. Let's go, it's already 6 o'clock in the evening. Go directly to Shuangjiang County to stay in a hotel, otherwise it will be unsafe to walk at night after dark. We encountered two border inspections on the way and finally arrived at Shuangjiang County at 7:30 p.m. I stayed at Shuangjiang Chuangye Business Hotel. I had rooms on Ctrip on the way here. When I arrived, there were no standard rooms, only one queen bed room left. I asked why the rooms were so tight in the county and said that it was just in time for the Icelandic Tea Expo. Tea merchants from all over the country gathered here.

On the 24th day, March 21, we arrived at Jinggu County along National Highway 214. It took more than four hours to drive around in the mountains. We parked in the county cultural and sports square, next to the Weiyuan River. In the afternoon, there was no one in the square. I rode a shared electric bike to the supermarket in the business center to replenish water and food. After six o'clock, the square became lively, with all kinds of children playing with battery cars, small trains, rocking carts, food stalls, roller skating teaching, and kite-flying. As soon as the lights were on, the cars on the roadside were parked full, the music of square dancing sounded, and more people walked along the river after dinner. It didn't end until 9:30 p.m., and the lights on the square didn't turn off until eleven p.m.

On the 25th day, March 22, Mengwo General Buddhist Temple was very close to the Sports Square where we parked. It was only five or six minutes 'drive. The temple is not big and very famous. There are twin towers inside, one tower enclosing the tree and the other tree enclosing the tower. When we arrived, staff in the temple were repairing branches. Several branches of the Tabao tree have been eaten away by insects, so they must be cleaned up first for safety reasons. After visiting the General Buddhist Temple, leave Jinggu County and go through Zhenyuan County to Ailao Mountain Natural Scenic Area.


Zhenyuan County is very clean. It looks smaller than Jinggu County. When we leave the county, the roads start to bump. It seems that some transportation hub has been built. It has been a few kilometers long. It has not exceeded more than ten kilometers. There is a beginning. It has not become a small pit. It must be more than 20 kilometers long. It turned out to be the construction of the Yunnan Molin Expressway. After walking here with great difficulty, there was still 17.6 kilometers away from the destination. All vehicles were prohibited from passing through and they had to wait until after 6 o'clock to pass through. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark by six o'clock. It was already cloudy and looked like it was going to rain. At that time, it would be too dangerous to run on mountain roads. After asking the local people, there is a path to each stockade a few kilometers back. You can bypass the road construction area and quickly turn around. The path is too narrow. If you meet cars in the opposite direction, one party has to find a slightly wider place to avoid it. Fortunately, after giving way to four cars along the way, we finally returned to National Highway 323 without any danger.

As soon as we got back on the right path, the rain came down. The rain was so heavy that we couldn't see the road. We didn't dare to stop on the mountain road. We walked slowly and slowly and finally arrived at the Ailao Mountain Primeval Forest Scenic Area. The fog was too strong for us to see clearly., drove the car to the entrance of the scenic area. The parking lot is outside the gate, on the side of the national highway. It is rainy and foggy and on the top of the hill. There are no hotels nearby. We have to spend the night in the car. It is too unsafe to park on the roadside. The staff are very easy to talk to, so they let us park the car inside the gate tonight and move it out early tomorrow morning (just our car). I still wore short sleeves in Jinggu in the morning, but now it's raining and it's on a mountain at an altitude of 2405 meters. It's still cold to put on both autumn clothes and emergency clothes. I quickly cooked and ate my fill, got into the car and covered my quilt, and finally felt warmer.

On the 26th day, on the morning of March 23, it was still foggy and light rain. We didn't want to enter the forest park. We greeted the staff and slowly drove away from the top of Ailao Mountain. To be honest, living in the rainy and foggy late night, living on the edge of the forest is a great test for people's courage. I didn't even realize I needed to take a photo at the top of the mountain, and I didn't even have my mobile phone. Think about my panic. Driving past the Tea Horse Ancient Road, we couldn't enter in this weather. We drove to the parking lot of Shimen Gorge Scenic Area. Fortunately, these three attractions all belong to the Ailao Mountain Scenic Area, and are only three or four kilometers apart. When the rain stopped, we went into Shimen Gorge to have a look. The ancient moss trees with water flow in the canyon are quite beautiful, similar to the Taihang Eight Spring Gorge. The difference is that both trees and railings in Shimen Gorge are covered with green lichen. The road is relatively narrow and slippery. It is 2.6 kilometers in total. When we reached 600 meters, we met a staff member and said that the scenery in front was similar to the one we had walked over. We decisively turned around and walked back.


It's already eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and the fog has not yet cleared. We are going to Mopanshan National Forest Park in Xinping today. The journey will take about three hours. My old man decided to wait. Anyway, he would walk down the mountain slowly, and the fog might disperse. The ideals are full, but the reality is that we have moved for fifty minutes, but the visibility is still less than five meters. We have reached Nan 'en Waterfall, but we can't see the upper reaches of the waterfall. The water curtain seems to have rushed out of the clouds and mist. When we turned from National Highway 323 to Rural Road 090 to see the Ailao Mountain terraces, we finally walked out of the fog area. Looking up and looking at the head of Ailao Mountain, it is still surrounded by rain and fog. The Ailao Mountain terraces are mostly citrus, which is different from the Yunyang Water Terrace. The green fruit trees are neatly arranged on the red terraces, which are particularly beautiful.



I arrived in Xinping County at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and called Mopanshan National Forest Park. I knew that parking was not allowed in the scenic area at night, so I parked my car in a parking lot on the edge of the national highway. Unexpectedly, this parking lot was in Xinping County. On the edge of Xihu Park, there is a large lake. Peach blossoms are in full bloom, fitness equipment walking corridors, sinks and toilets are surrounded by several places around the lake, and pavilions are connected by trestle bridges, making it quiet and comfortable. I could still order takeout, so I simply stopped making rice and ordered two takeout, and both bottled water and dinner were settled. What a surprise.

On the 27th day, March 24, Mopan Mountain National Forest Park, tickets are 40 yuan. Since female comrades are free of tickets before the end of March 8th Women's Day, sightseeing buses in the park are charged in sections. Forty people go to the Holy Fire Platform, and seventy people go to the enemy mountain. We are going to the enemy mountain to see hundreds of acres of rhododendrons. The driver, surnamed Bai, was very enthusiastic and there were not many tourists. At that time, it was just us on the bus. It took about 40 minutes to get it to the foot of the enemy mountain. He told us to walk the loop line for 2.6 kilometers along the ridge for about two hours. He asked if he could do it physically and got a positive answer. He left his phone number and waited until he came down the mountain to pick us up. Enemy Mountain is the farthest place in the scenic area. As soon as you enter the mountain forest, you will be stunned by the blooming rhododendrons. Thousands of years of wild rhododendrons have thick trunks, branches are full of rhododendrons, branches are covered with moss, and branches are colorful. Coming to Mopan Mountain at this time is a bit awkward. The horse tassel flowers have just been defeated, but you can still see falling flowers on the ground. The azaleas have not yet reached their full bloom, and you can't see the mountain red all over the mountains and plains. But we are already very satisfied that the thousand-year-old wild rhododendrons may only be seen here. When I followed the ridge to the back of the mountain, I also saw a large area of camellia flowers mixed with azalea red. The red and white ones were beautiful. When we first climbed the mountain, there was still thick fog, which was clear and hazy. By eleven o'clock, it was cloudy and the fog cleared. Today is the first real blue sky and white clouds since we arrived in Yunnan.

The second stop is the Sacred Fire Platform, where Yi compatriots receive the sacred fire during the Torch Festival.

The third stop is Moon Lake. There is not much water during this time, and the lake surface is much smaller. This attraction is mainly a place for leisure and entertainment, with cliff villas, restaurants, and tent areas all here.

After coming out of the scenic area, we returned to the Xihu Park parking lot, stayed for another night and went to Fuxian Lake tomorrow.

On the 28th day, on March 25, I left Xinping County. After walking around the mountain road for more than an hour, I came out of the mountainous area. I passed by the edge of Yuxi City to Jiangchuan, and passed by Shiyanshao Village, which is on the edge of Xingyun Lake. I have seen Xingyun Lake. There is a Zhouqiao Force Training Base next to it, and one side cannot be approached. 9.8 kilometers away from our destination, there was a traffic jam near Dongshan Village. After about seventy minutes of traffic jam, the traffic began to move slowly. It turned out that at the corner ahead was a market for buying coriander. The agricultural vehicles of local vegetable farmers were queuing to enter the market and leave the market after trading. causing congestion. Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Fuxian Lake, passed Xiaoao Village along the highway around the lake, and arrived at the observation deck beside Haijing Village. It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I had to wait until evening to watch the sunset. I just happened to see villagers walking in twos and threes carrying vegetables and fruits. As I walked forward, there was a farmers 'market in front of me with everything to eat and use. We also bought some fruits and pastries, but we parked on the roadside and couldn't cook, so we drank two bowls of rice noodles at the market. The little boss knew that we were foreigners and had never eaten local pea flour, so he gave us half a portion to try it. It's quite delicious, a bit like our Shandong mixed cold rice noodles. The sky is not very clear today. The sun sets at nearly seven o'clock. Before it reaches the back of the mountain, it is completely covered by clouds. Since the parking space was on the roadside and there was no toilet, we drove to the Fuxian Jintan Parking Lot on the West Bank while it was not completely dark.

There is a coconut forest beach in Golden Beach on the west bank. On a cruise to the isolated island, you can still take the sunrise in the morning. It is simply a super invincible sea view room. Parking for 12 hours is ten yuan, and more than twenty yuan a day is very good. I chatted with the boss at the parking lot. I had just gotten on the bus and laid down when I heard a loud impact outside at around nine o'clock. The man at my house opened the car door and said that something had happened and was going to save people. In the left rear of our parking lot, a car was parked from the road above, rolled over and sandwiched between the high wall and the shed. My old man climbed into the car and shouted loudly, Is anyone there? Is it okay? Fortunately, the driver was not injured and climbed out of the window. He said that he rushed down the roadbed to avoid the puppy on the road. The roadbed was not very high, and there was a parking lot below. If it was by the lake, it would be too dangerous.

On the 29th day, March 26, it was 6:30 when I woke up, so I quickly got dressed. Today's sunrise time was 7:05. I stayed in the lake-view room yesterday. I got off the car, set up a tripod and put on a camera. I grasped the time quite well, and the morning glow just reflected the sky red. After making the porridge, I used a small electric pan to fry the glutinous rice cakes I bought yesterday. They were quite delicious. As soon as we finished packing, two buses loaded with tourists arrived. This is a point where tourists take boats to the isolated island.


Coming out of Jintan and crossing Bijia Mountain, we arrived at Hongshanzui, Chengjiang, a pink sandy beach. The sand is smooth, and the pink sandy beach in the lake sets off more like a fairy scenery. Not many tourists drive by themselves. Walking Jiangchuan Road through Xingxing Town and passing Yuxi Fuxian Lake National Wetland Park, we left Fuxian Lake and headed for Dianchi Lake.

There are no parking lots around Dianchi Lake for overnight stays. After searching for a long time, I finally found one outside Haigeng Park. There is no water and electricity, there is a simple bathroom, 20 yuan a night. Haigeng Park is right across from you. To see red-billed gulls, take the Haigeng embankment. It's a little hot and stuffy. I'm not very comfortable and I feel very tired. I didn't go to Xishan and would find a hotel to rest for two days tomorrow.


On the 30th day, March 27, I felt too tired in the past few days and couldn't climb the Western Hills. In the afternoon, I visited the Yunnan Province Museum, which ended in about two hours. I found an inn on Ctrip with high reviews, and it was on the way to Shilin and Jiuxiang, not far from both attractions. I booked a two-day stay and wanted to rest, but I arrived at the inn. It was amazing. The hardware and software are all very good, the boss is a young mother, and she has a job. The boss's mother usually helps her manage the inn, and everyone calls her the store's grandma. The store's grandma is two years older than me and is also a warm-hearted person. She washes the tomatoes she grows at home every day and puts them in the lobby for the guests to eat. She also introduces a delicious restaurant nearby,"Xiaoqing Taste". The food at his house tastes really good and the price is fair.

The 31st day, March 28, I spent the whole day in a daze at the inn, washing the dirty clothes I had saved, and strolling around the village in the afternoon. The first Yi Village was clean and tidy, and the uniformly designed small buildings were neat and uniform. Most of them were making inns. The grandfather of the inn took his granddaughter to fish a big carp weighing five to six kilograms in the reservoir. The grandma made a large pot of pickled cabbage fish and gave us some and rice. The taste was very delicious. It's a real home away from home.

On the 32nd day, on the morning of March 29, I went to the village vegetable market first. After breakfast, I bought fruits and bean buns. Today, I am going to Shilin to buy some food to make a lunch mat. This market is from local villagers, and the prices are relatively down-to-earth. This is the first time I have come to Yunnan that prices are so close to the people. It is only a ten-minute drive from the village where you live to the Shilin Scenic Area. The Shilin ticket plus tour bus is 155 yuan per person. There are ridiculously many tourists, and everywhere you look, there are old and young Xiaohei brothers and Ashima. Taking photos is basically a group photo. The scenery is beautiful, and the museum at the entrance of the scenic area is also very worth seeing.

On the 33rd day, March 30, Nuohei Village is more than 30 kilometers away from Shilin County. It is a village built of stone. The village is not big and has a history of 600 years. Not only the houses and rice warehouses are built of stone, but also the livestock pens are also made of stone. On the way back, I found that the stone forest on the roadside was also very beautiful, no worse than the scenic spots.

On the 34th day, March 31st, I got up early to pack my luggage and bid farewell to the eldest sister in the inn. We stayed here for four days, thanks to the eldest sister's many care. If I didn't want to go home to visit the tomb during Qingming Festival, I would have stayed for a few more days. I went to the vegetable market to buy fruits and vegetables. The journey home was more than 2,300 kilometers and required four days of running on the highway. The highway on 8.33 minutes was still fast on the highway. I ran nearly 700 kilometers in more than eight hours. I still often went to the rest area to rest. Parking in the Meitan service area at night.

The 35th day, April 1st, was originally quite smooth today. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, there were still more than thirty kilometers away from the parking service area. I arrived at around five o'clock, and I didn't delay even cooking and parking. Then there are more than a thousand kilometers left, and the journey will be no longer tense in the next two days. As a result, I didn't expect that when turning from Hangzhou-Ruizhou Expressway to Erguang Expressway, the navigation was stuck. We missed the turning ramp and got on Changzhang Expressway. The navigation constantly repeats "You have deviated from the route" and makes a U-turn at high speed. However, as long as we get off the highway, we have to pay for the more than 1,000 kilometers ahead of us, and we won't be able to enjoy the free discount on the Qingming Festival highway. They could only grit their teeth and drive forward to see if they could find a new route. My husband first found the service area along the way, and then used the highway he was currently on to connect with the highway he last went home. Finally, he found a new route. We should have been able to park the car after five o'clock, but we didn't get around to the Qianjiang Service Area of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway until after eight o'clock in the evening, running more than 200 kilometers more than the original route. Starting from eight o'clock in the morning to parking at eight o'clock in the evening, I used a correct time on the road. The weather was still bad and it rained and fogged from time to time. The driver was too hard and it was not easy to get in the light.

On the 36th and 37th days, April 2/April 3, the road was smooth. We were afraid that the navigation would get stuck again, so we used two mobile phones and two maps to navigate and finally returned home on April 3. At the end of this journey to find warmth, as soon as we entered our boundary in Shandong, our down jackets came back to us.
