Experience the Panlong Ancient Road. I conquered altitude sickness.

The Panlong Ancient Road was originally a road for the convenience of the people. The 30-kilometer mountain road has more than 600 S-bends and U-bends, and the altitude suddenly rises from 3,000 meters to 4,200 meters, which is very unique. Therefore, after the asphalt road was paved a few years ago, it immediately attracted tourists from all over the world to check in. The so-called "amazing as soon as it comes out". On the second morning in Taxian, driven by curiosity, we also prepared to walk this road. The altitude of 3,000 meters is considered to be at the foot of the mountain. Before climbing the mountain, Master Wu took us to the lowest point of the highway to take a few photos, and then, from here, we started our journey on the Panlong Ancient Road. There are some eye-catching "Today I have walked all the bends, and from now on, life is all smooth" road signs along the way. Whether it is a bend or a smooth road, it is no longer important for people who have passed half of their lives. As long as they have experienced it, it is a wealth. The car winds up, and I have to praise Master Wu's car skills, which are very stable. I was afraid of motion sickness before I came, but not only did I not get motion sickness, but I didn't even use the oxygen cylinder that I brought with me. Climbed to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 4,216 meters in one breath. There is an observation deck here, a mobile coffee car, and an aerial photography stall. You only need to spend tens to more than 100 yuan, and the photographer can take some magnificent and beautiful pictures for you. In such a vast place in Xinjiang, it is most suitable to use drones to take videos or photos, different perspectives, magnificent pictures. Looking down from the observation deck, the Panlong Ancient Road really looks like a giant dragon entrenched here, and you can directly see the winding road. The Panlong Ancient Road will be closed to traffic when it is icy in winter🚫, and it will be lifted until the ice and snow melt. Therefore, if you want to self-drive the Panlong Ancient Road, summer and autumn should be the best time. 📝Note tips: The Panlong Ancient Road has many bends and high altitude. Before departure, you should buy oxygen cylinders and motion sickness medicine in advance, just in case. The plateau ultraviolet rays are very strong, and you have to apply sunscreen, bring sunglasses and hats, and protect your skin from injury.
