Chapter 411 Arrival at Golmud
Zheng Long's words were like the sound of nature, instantly making the car lively, and everyone agreed at once.
This made Song Tang, who was about to speak, burst out laughing. It turned out that everyone was as confused as he was.
In less than ten minutes, the convoy drove out of the road and followed Zheng Long's lead car to stop by a clear blue and endless lake.
Song Chuyi's dog rushed out as Qiongying just opened the car door and ran happily in the endless wilderness by the lake, while Song Dabo was strolling around looking for a place to pee.
As soon as Song Tang got off the car, he was a little confused when he saw the endless lake in front of him.
"Ding Wei, what did you call this place when you were in the car just now? Xiaochaidan Lake? You call it Xiaochaidan Lake? How is it small?"
Song Tang stood by the lake, gesturing exaggeratedly with his hands at the boundless lake in front of him and asked Ding Wei.
Song Tang's question made Ding Wei a little dumbfounded, because he didn't know the answer to this question, but the lake in front of him was indeed called this name.
"Because there is another lake called Da Qaidam Lake, this place can only be called Xiao Qaidam Lake, otherwise it cannot be distinguished." Zheng Long explained to Song Tang with a smile.
Song Tang finally understood what was going on and was a little curious. "This small one is already this big, how big must the Great Qaidam Lake be?"
Song Tang's question really hit the nail on the head, and at the same time, the other people who didn't know the situation became curious.
"That's the opposite. You know, there are countless lakes in Haixi, but Xiaochaidan Lake is the one that is least worthy of its name."
Zheng Long saw that everyone was gathering around him and was a little curious, so he carefully explained the science to everyone.
"Xiaochaidan Lake, also known as Baga Qaidam Lake, is about 69 square kilometers. It is the largest saltwater lake in the Qaidam area, and it is said to be slowly growing."
"As for the Greater Qaidam Lake, it is only 15 square kilometers and is also known as the Emerald Lake."
"There is a Luliang Mountain between the two lakes, which is about ten kilometers long."
"They are the perfect example of two lakes separated by a mountain. They are also selected as one of the 100 most beautiful scenic spots in Qinghai Province by National Geographic."
Just when Zheng Long was speaking seriously and everyone was listening attentively, Feng Bo's shout came from not far away.
Everyone turned their heads curiously to look at Feng Bo, only to see Feng Bo chasing from behind, while Song Chuyi in the front was madly chasing a big bird, and it was about to run into the lake.
"Hurry, hurry, stop it. The birds here are basically protected animals, we can't let the dog catch them." Zheng Long was a little anxious at this time, and led everyone to run over there.
But soon everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The big bird flew over the lake. Song Chuyi chased it to the lakeside, but probably knew that he had no chance, so he ran back leisurely.
"Song Chuyi, come here!" Song Tang was a little tired from running. Seeing Song Chuyi strolling back, he stopped to rest and shouted.
Song Chuyi was a dog that was quite high-spirited at first, but when he saw that Song Tang seemed angry, he quickly ran to Song Tang with his tail between his legs.
"If you don't listen, I will send you back and won't play with you anymore." Song Tang twisted one of the dog's big ears.
Song Chuyi did not dare to resist, but instead rubbed his head against Song Tang's legs with his tongue hanging down to please him. This trick really worked, and soon Song Tang was no longer so angry.
We rested for a while by the Xiaochaidan Lake and took a lot of photos. It was not until Zheng Long looked at his watch and reminded everyone that it was time to set off that everyone packed up and continued on their way.
When passing by the Qarhan Salt Lake, Zheng Long still asked everyone in the car, but everyone refused this time.
There are so many lakes in Haixi that, to be honest, people are a little tired of them.
Because every lake is similar, azure or emerald green, big or small. Although the Qarhan Salt Lake is bigger and more beautiful than the Chaka Salt Lake, it no longer attracts everyone's interest.
When the road section entered the desert, a strong wind happened to blow. The fine sand on both sides of the road was blown onto the road, forming waves, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
"The famous U-shaped road is ahead. Please be careful when driving through it. Many tourists park their cars there and run to the middle of the road to take pictures."
Zheng Long's words came out again from the car station, which aroused the curiosity of many people. Is he crazy? Why did he think of running to the middle of the road to take pictures?
"It's just a simple sand road, with a big downhill slope followed by a big uphill slope, forming a rough U-shape. I don't know how it became popular."
“Many people stopped their cars and clocked in on the road.”
"Some large trucks need to speed up when going downhill when passing through here so that they can climb up the steep slope."
"Before, because of the influence of people on the road, some trucks had no speed when going downhill and ended up being unable to climb up." Zheng Long roughly explained the situation to everyone in the car platform.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the U-shaped road, but the situation seemed different. There were not many cars and people stopping here.
When the convoy reached the bottom of the U-shaped road, everyone discovered that piles were installed on both sides of the ditch at the bottom of the road.
Deep trenches with slopes were dug on both sides of the road, and road surveillance was installed.
Private cars that want to park cannot drive off the road and park on the roadside, so they cannot stay here. They can only drive a long way away before finding a place to park.
When driving through this section of road, everyone including Zheng Long was thinking in their hearts that it should have been done this way long ago, otherwise something big would happen here sooner or later.
We stopped and walked along the way, and took a rest and checked in at some scenic spots where we could park. It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that we approached today's destination, Golmud.
Delingha to Golmud is less than 400 kilometers, but it took this group of people nearly eight hours to walk. It can be seen that everyone wasted a lot of time on the road.
But traveling, at its core, is just a waste of time. And in life, everything you do is a waste of time.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, the convoy had already entered the city of Golmud and headed towards the inn that Zhou Jing had booked earlier.
When Zhou Jing was in Delingha, she had already booked an inn for the day. After searching online for a while, she chose a B&B with just over a dozen rooms.
It was the same as what I did with Miss Gesang in Delingha, and I booked the whole thing.
Just when the convoy was about to reach its destination, Zhao Qi's particularly curious voice suddenly came from the car platform.
"Do you think there is a sanatorium in Golmud?"
As soon as Zhao Qi finished speaking, the carriage became lively.
Those in the team who had read the relevant novels or watched TV series were discussing it very intensely, leaving Song Tang and Zhou Jing, who had not seen it, completely stunned.
"What did you just say?"
When the convoy stopped in front of the inn, Song Tang grabbed Zhao Qi immediately after getting off the car.
"What about Third Uncle and Ling?"
