Let you wander, you become a national tourism image ambassador

Chapter 477 Arrival in Hami
Qin Yuan knew that posting his cycling video would cause a sensation on the Internet, but he did not expect that this sensation would be so big.

He immediately gained 500 reputation points, which could be said to be the highest ever, and it was completely beyond his expectations.

So he immediately picked up his phone, opened his own video, and started checking the comments on the video. He was shocked when he saw it.

Because of the song "Guanxianyue", even mainstream media like the national television station was alarmed and did a special report on him overnight.

Not only that, at this moment there were more than a dozen media outlets gathered near the Yumen Pass ruins, photographing the rock there.

In addition to the media, fans from all over the country have also bought tickets to go, and now train and plane tickets to Dunhuang are hard to come by.

The officials at the Yumen Pass ruins have already dispatched a large number of staff to maintain order in the vicinity.

Obviously, because of his filming, the Yumen Pass Ruins became completely popular, and its popularity is no less than that of the original Tengwang Pavilion.

In addition, the women he met in the no-man's land last night actually posted what happened last night on the Internet after leaving. Not only that, there was even a blurry photo of him on the post.

Under such circumstances, many fans speculated that he was crossing a no-man's land, and some crazy fans even said they wanted to come find him.

This startled him, and he quickly packed up his things and rode faster towards Hami. He must not let them catch him.

"Good morning everyone, it's 6: in the morning now, I've already left. I really didn't expect that a song "Guanshanyue" would cause such a sensation, I would like to thank everyone for their love.

But I still ask all my fans to calm down. I have heard that the Yumen Pass ruins are already crowded with tourists. To be honest, now is not the time to join in the fun.

Therefore, we ask all fans to travel rationally and not travel at the same time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the scenic spot, which will not be good for your own travel experience. "

While riding, Qin Yuan looked at the camera and said very seriously that his original plan was not to update tonight.

But looking at the current situation, if he doesn't come out to make an appeal, his fans might do something crazy.

Therefore, as a public figure, he must update a video tonight to express his position, so he shot the material in advance.

After shooting the material, he continued to move towards Hami, which was still 200 kilometers away from his current location.

If it were a normal road, with Qin Yuan's riding speed and physical strength, he could basically reach the destination in 7 hours.

Unfortunately, there are no roads in this uninhabited area. It is all pebbled roads, commonly known as washboard roads.

Therefore, this greatly affects his cycling speed. It is basically impossible to ride 7 kilometers in 200 hours.

“I have to say, the roads here are really bad, with constant bumps all the way, and I don’t know if my bicycle’s tires can handle it.

I hope the journey goes smoothly! But I must not have a flat tire, otherwise it will be troublesome. Although I brought tire repair tools, the tire repair process is quite time-consuming, which will greatly affect my plan. "

Qin Yuan was riding on the bumpy road while filming with a sports camera. The whole process seemed very tiring and was far from the carefree and comfortable feeling he had before.

However, precisely because of the strong contrast with the previous scene, he wanted to capture this scene.

Cycling tours are like this, full of uncertainties along the way. If everything goes smoothly all the time, the video content will be boring.

And he never uses scripts when shooting videos, so this natural sense of contrast is even more precious.

I don't know whether to say that his mouth was blessed or that he had a crow's mouth, because just as he said that he didn't want a flat tire, his next foot made a bang and his tire deflated.

Feeling the noise coming from the tire, Qin Yuan's face fell and he slapped his forehead helplessly.

Then he said speechlessly: "If I had known I would have kept silent. Look at my crow mouth! I said I didn't want a flat tire, but it gave me a flat tire right away. This is a slap in my face!"

Qin Yuan stopped his bicycle in annoyance, only to see that the rear tire was completely deflated. It was so flat that he could even see the steel rim.

"Oh, what bad luck, so unlucky. Looks like I have to stop the car temporarily to fix the tire. I'm really fed up." Qin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then pushed the car to the side of a yardang.

Because the time now is 12: noon, which is when the sun is at its brightest, the direct sunlight is very strong, and there is a lack of water.

Therefore, you must do a good job of sun protection at this time, so that you can save your physical energy and avoid sweating too much and losing salt.

Once you sweat too much, you will always want to drink water, but he doesn't have much water left now, so he has to calculate every sip.

When traveling through uninhabited areas, in addition to being careful about whether there are wild animals, the rational allocation of water resources is of paramount importance.

Many travelers who are in danger often do not die at the hands of wild animals, but rather from their own unreasonable allocation of resources.

Some travelers were eager to achieve success and expended a lot of their physical strength at the beginning, so they began to replenish water desperately.

This ultimately leads to a lack of water when water is really needed in the later stages, and then dehydration and hallucinations occur. In this situation, if there are no companions around, it is basically a death sentence.

I wouldn’t dare to say that 100% of the victims reported in recent years were killed for this reason, but at least half of them died because of this.

Qin Yuan, who knew this well, would naturally not make such a low-level mistake. However, given his physical fitness, it didn't matter to him whether he made it or not.

Because no matter how hard he struggled, he could not exhaust his physical strength. The reason he did this was just to avoid the sun and make himself more comfortable.

“Since I started cycling around the Dragon Country, I have lost count of how many times I have had my tires repaired. Now I am an expert at it.

This little problem is not a problem for me. I lay the bicycle down first so that it will be easier for me to remove the tire and find the damaged point.

But there is no need to look for it this time, because such a large sharp stone is stuck on the tire, and anyone can see it unless they are blind.

Now that the damaged point has been found, take out the pointed stone first and then use a file to polish the damaged area.

After that, just apply the tire patch. Isn’t the whole process very simple? So cycling around is not that difficult.

Students who have ideas should bravely take the first step. You can learn how to repair a tire once you learn it!" Qin Yuan demonstrated seriously to the camera.

Although he was very fast, it still took him more than half an hour.

After repairing the bicycle tire, Qin Yuan sat on the ground and took out a bag of biscuits from his backpack.

"The wind and sand here are too strong, and I'm in a hurry today because I want to get to the next city as early as possible so that I can take a good bath at night. I was almost buried by the wind and sand these two days. If I take a bath now, I can probably rub a pound of sand off my body, which is really uncomfortable.

I didn’t have this feeling when I was riding in the desert, so now I’m too lazy to cook and just eat a bag of biscuits to fill my stomach.

I should take a walk tonight and get to the city as soon as possible to stay in a hotel." Qin Yuan said while chewing on a biscuit.

After two days and one night of riding, his face was covered with dust, which made his originally handsome appearance look a little haggard and desolate.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Being outside, exposed to the wind and rain, sun and rain every day, most people will become old directly. He just looks a little more vicissitudes of life, which is already very good.

You should know that in the previous life, there were many cyclists born in the 90s who, after riding around, ended up being born in the 60s.

This shows how terrifying it is.

To outsiders, it is a miracle that someone like Qin Yuan can always maintain his handsome appearance.

But it is precisely because of this that so many netizens thought that Qin Yuan was faking his ride at the beginning.

There was nothing that could be done about it, since Qin Yuan's physique was so abnormal that he could always keep himself clean.

Fortunately, many so-called anti-counterfeiting experts followed Qin Yuan, but they did not find any problems at all, which made more and more people believe in Qin Yuan.

Then again, even Qin Yuan, who had such a terrifying physique, was worn out by the wind and sand. This shows how violent the strong wind in this no-man's land was.

In such a natural environment, it would be difficult for ordinary people to even walk, let alone ride a bike on the washboard road.

As for wanting to cross an entire uninhabited area within two days, that is simply a pipe dream.

However, what is a pipe dream for outsiders has become possible for Qin Yuan. This is his strength.

After eating a whole bag of biscuits with a bottle of mineral water, Qin Yuan stretched comfortably, and then continued on his journey on his bicycle.

"After eating and drinking, it's time to continue on our journey. The distance from my current location to the next target city is 150 kilometers, and there are still four hours until dark.

It is simply impossible to complete 150 kilometers on such a road in four hours.

So I plan to ride until 9pm today, which is about 10 hours in total, which means I have to ride 15 kilometers in one hour. Let's wait and see!"

15 kilometers in an hour, if it is on a normal asphalt road, it can basically be done with just your feet, but on a washboard road full of small stones, it is a huge challenge.

Because this kind of road surface can easily damage tires, a tire blowout like Qin Yuan's just now is just a small matter.

Even for a veteran rider like him, it takes at least half an hour to repair a tire.

According to this pace, it is really difficult to ensure that you can ride 15 kilometers in one hour.

Even Qin Yuan was a little worried. Although he was very strong, he couldn't decide whether the bicycle would have a flat tire!

Once a tire bursts, it will waste time and affect the itinerary, which is inevitable. So even if he himself doesn't know whether he can reach Hami tonight, he will just work hard.

"Charge, charge, charge!" Qin Yuan said while looking at the camera and rushing towards Hami.

Just after he had been rushing for an hour, his bicycle tire had problems again and was punctured again.

But this time was different from the last tire blowout. This time it was just a small hole and the air leaked slowly.

But basically the tire would leak completely in half an hour. Qin Yuan originally planned to ride for a while and inflate it to support it for a while, but later there was really no other way, so he had to stop the car to repair the tire.

This time, because the hole was too small, he spent a lot of time finding the hole, and it finally took him almost an hour to finish it.

In this way, Qin Yuan continued to repair and move forward towards Hami with difficulty. At 9 o'clock in the evening, he finally crossed the no-man's land and arrived in the urban area of ​​HM.

"We're here, we're finally here!" Looking at the brightly lit HM City, Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel that all the hard work had paid off.

Today's ride could be said to be the most uncomfortable one he had ever had, but now it was finally over.

"Everyone, the destination of my trip is Hami, the Hami of Hami melon.

Of course, Hami melon is not actually produced in Hami, but comes from Turpan, hundreds of kilometers away from Hami.

As for the origin of the name of Hami melon, there is a story behind it.

It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, Hami melon was not originally called "Hami melon", but a kind of melon produced locally.

Emperor Kangxi summoned the King of Hami, who presented the emperor with local melons as tribute.

After tasting the melon, the emperor and his ministers praised it highly for being as crisp as a pear, as sweet as honey, and with a strong aroma, but they did not know its name.

The King of Hami replied that it was "melon", but the emperor thought the name was too common, so he proposed to name it "Cantaloupe".

This not only promoted Hami, but also the melon. Since then, the name "Hami Melon" has been used to this day.

Of course, whether this story is true or not is still debatable, so just treat it as an interesting anecdote.

However, Hami is not a simple place. Hami was formerly known as Kunmo, Kunwu, Yizhou, etc. It is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions, located in the eastern part of the Western Regions.

It spans the north and south of the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, about 404 kilometers from east to west and about 440 kilometers from north to south. It borders Jiuquan, Gansu in the east and southeast, and BYGLMG Zhizhou in the south.

It borders CJHZ Prefecture and Turpan City in the west and southwest, and Mongolia in the north and northeast.

Hami has a total area of ​​14.21 square kilometers, a national border line of 587.6 kilometers, and has a national first-class port - Laoye Temple Port. It is one of the important opening ports for the development of border trade between the Western Regions and Mongolia.

Hami is the gateway from the Western Regions to the interior, an important town on the ancient "Silk Road", and the "Eastern Gate" of the Western Regions. It has an important geographical location and is known as the "throat of the Western Regions and the east-west passage".

In ancient times, Hami was the fortress where Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty first opened up the Silk Road to the Western Regions, and it was also the outpost for managing the Western Regions.
