June 3, 2023, the 81st day of the self-driving tour around China, from Zayü County in Tibet to Ranwu Town in Tibet

June 3, 2023, the 81st day of the self-driving tour around China, from Zayü County in Tibet to Ranwu Town in Tibet, crossing the Zayü Grand Canyon, and over the Demula Snow Mountain. The short 160 kilometers of G559 climbs from an altitude of over 2000 meters to nearly 5000 meters. The scenery becomes more and more beautiful as you go, as if traveling through a blockbuster landscape. The Zayü Grand Canyon is located in Zayü County, Nyingchi, Tibet, and its natural scenery is extremely magnificent. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it forms a unique landscape where 'one mountain holds four seasons, and ten miles hold different weathers.' The canyon is majestic, with peaks soaring into the clouds and deep and secluded valleys, like a natural painting that leaves one in awe. Historically, this place was where the Tibetan local government exiled prisoners, and due to its remote location and harsh climate, it was considered a place of great hardship and desolation. However, it is precisely such an environment that has nurtured the unique natural and cultural landscape of Zayü. The Demula Mountain Pass is nearly 5000 meters above sea level, a high mountain pass. Due to its high altitude and special geographical location, the climate here is harsh, the air is thin, and altitude sickness is common. From the viewing platform at the pass, the snow-covered mountain ranges appear even more majestic and precipitous, giving a strong sense of shock. After crossing the Demula Mountain, glaciers take the leading role. The spectacular glacier road. From southeast to northwest, there are more than a dozen glaciers, including the Gongza and Laigu glaciers. The grandeur and beauty of the glaciers are like entering a dreamlike world. Gazing at the glaciers is a feast for both the eyes and the soul. Ranwu Lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the snow mountains and blue sky with white clouds, picturesque. The rolling mountains and dense forests around the lake give a sense of tranquility far from the hustle and bustle. Ranwu Lake shows different colors in different seasons: in spring and summer, the lake is as blue as a gem; in autumn and winter, the lake surface shines with silver light, and the surrounding mountains and forests are dyed with gold and red, colorful and intoxicating. Upon reaching Ranwu Town, the self-driving route converges with the Sichuan-Tibet Southern Route (National Highway 318). On the way to Bomi, there are internet-famous checkpoints: water crossings and electronic speed measurement. The section at 3815KM+200M of National Highway 318, due to its special geographical location and natural environment, has formed a water crossing surface, attracting many travelers to experience it. On the way to Bomi County on National Highway 318, there are three 30-kilometer speed measurement points. Under the guise of safety, the speed limit of 70 suddenly drops to 30 at a cliff. The speed measurement points are all in the visual blind spots after turning, which is really unscrupulous. Reminder to fellow drivers: 3855, 3895, and 3922, speed limit 30, speeding, 6 points deducted, fine of 1200 yuan. Bomi, this mysterious land located in southeastern Tibet. The mountains are stacked, and the clouds are misty, like a flowing painting. Known as 'the Switzerland of Tibet,' its beauty is beyond words. The green forests cover the slopes, the clear rivers meander, and the tops of the snow mountains shine with holy light. Here, you can feel the grandeur and tranquility of nature, and experience the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
