第10回 入藏啦 云锁梅里，澜沧弹坑泥泞；翻红拉山，摩友同避暴雨

本季摩旅的第十一天，走214国道从德钦县城到芒康。一年了，终于又一次入藏啦。梅里十三峰都被云雾笼罩山顶，无法看清真面目。下到澜沧江河谷的时候，可能是因为修路或者雨季的原因，G214路况比较差，不少炮弹坑路泥浆路。在滇藏交界的隔界河牌楼处，拿出蛋巢垫铺在地上午休半个小时，颇为惬意。进入西藏之后远眺盐井，翻红拉山垭口。途中遇瓢泼大雨，和摩友一起在一个小卖部避雨扯淡。 夜宿芒康，芒康也是G318的重要节点，走川藏南线的话就从这里往西。我本次计划走川藏中线G349，明天需要走察芒公路往北偏西先去察雅。 #梅里雪山 #炮弹坑路 #盐井 #红拉山垭口 #澜沧江 #G214 #滇藏线 #芒康 #摩旅 #DL250 #单人单车 Day 11 of this season’s motorcycle journey. Today I followed National Highway G214 from Deqin to Markam. After a year away, I’m finally back in Tibet. All thirteen peaks of Meili Snow Mountain were shrouded in cloud and mist, their true faces completely hidden from view. As I descended into the Lancang River valley, G214 became noticeably rougher—perhaps because of roadworks or the rainy season—with plenty of potholes, broken pavement, and muddy stretches. At the gateway by the Gejie River on the Yunnan–Tibet border, I pulled out my egg-crate sleeping pad, spread it on the ground, and took a half-hour nap. It was surprisingly relaxing. After entering Tibet, I stopped for a distant view of the Yanjing salt fields before climbing over Hongla Mountain Pass. Along the way, I was caught in a torrential downpour and took shelter at a tiny roadside shop with another motorcyclist, where we passed the time chatting while waiting for the rain to ease. I spent the night in Markam, an important junction on G318. Riders following the southern Sichuan–Tibet route would continue west from here. My plan, however, is to take the central Sichuan–Tibet route along G349. Tomorrow, I’ll turn northwest onto the Chaya–Markam Road and head for Chaya first. #MeiliSnowMountain #RoughRoads #Yanjing #HonglaMountainPass #LancangRiver #G214 #YunnanTibetRoute #Markam #MotorcycleTravel #DL250 #SoloMotorcycleTravel
