The new 2 19 national highway has been officially started from 19 12 3 1. The national highway starts from Kanas at the northern end of Xinjiang, winds through Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Guangxi, and ends in Dongxing, Guangxi. By then, New National Highway 2 19 will become the longest national highway in China. The estimated total length is 10860 km, which is about twice the length of the longest national highway G3 18(5476 km) and five times the length of the old national highway 2 19 (2 140 km).
Brief introduction of national highway 2 19;
National Highway 2 19 is the first national highway in China, starting from Kanas and ending in Dongxing, with a total length of10065km and passing through Guangxi, Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang. From Dongxing, Guangxi, which is at a low altitude, to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Hengduan Mountains and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then to Kanas, Altay, the landform, human landscape and ethnic customs along the way are rich and colorful. However, the most painful thing for travelers is that there is too little time. Therefore, we divided G2 19 into G2 19 road book series, and changed the starting point to Antarctic village at the southernmost tip of Chinese mainland, so we got the first paragraph of this paragraph: Antarctic village-Hekou section. In the next trip, you will enjoy the coastal scenery of Leizhou Peninsula and Beibu Gulf all the way, walk on the border road S325 that has been merged into G2 19, cross the 100,000 mountains and Liu Zhao mountains, enter Yunnan, the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China, and reach Hekou County where the trip ends.
Newly built 2 19 national highway scenic spot:
The national highway runs through the snowy grasslands of Kanas and Yili in Xinjiang, through the Gobi Desert in the no-man's land of Ali in Tibet, and then winds southward along the dangerous roads of Bingcha and Tengchong in Yunnan until the waves of Pingxiang and Dongxing in Guangxi. Along the 2 19 national highway, many world-class landscapes that travelers yearn for are located on this landscape avenue. For example, Kanas, Sailimu Lake, Guozigou Bridge, Ili Valley and Lavender Manor in Xinjiang; Guge Dynasty, Mount Everest, Yongcuo in Mabian, Gangrenboqi and Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in Tibet; Yunnan iced tea, Nujiang Canyon, Tengchong and Xishuangbanna; Guangxi Pingxiang Friendship Pass and Dongxing Port.
Comparison between New National Highway 2 19 and National Highway 3 18;
Compared with 3 18 national highway, the landscape of the new 2 19 national highway is even more shocking. The main landscape belt of National Highway 3 18 is located on the Sichuan-Tibet line 2 100 km from Chengdu to Lhasa, passing through snow-capped mountains, canyons, grasslands and glaciers, and the scenery is breathtaking. However, the Shanghai-Chengdu section of National Highway 3 18 is mostly an urban section, lacking the original natural landscape belt of National Highway 2 19 along the borders of Xinjiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Guangxi.
From a certain point of view, the new 2 19 national highway is more suitable for self-driving sightseeing than the 3 18 national highway, because there is no defect in any section of the new 2 19 national highway. The new 2 19 national highway is still under construction, and the opening time is to be determined. Before it was opened to traffic, many road travelers began to care about the direction of the new 2 19 national highway, and even some travel bloggers have begun to explore the real road scenery of the new 2 19 national highway on the spot. The new 2 19 national highway will surely become one of the must-see destinations in the future outdoor go on road trip circle. Today, the 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line is still the travel destination of most road trip lovers in China. 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line is more of a feeling of traveling on the road than the colorful and endless cross-regional original natural landscape of the new 2 19 national highway, which represents the spirit of travelers constantly exploring and recalling the new continent.
Comparison between new national highway 2 19 and old national highway 2 19;
The old 2 19 national highway is the highway from Yecheng, Xinjiang to Lasi, Tibet, with a total length of 2 140 km. It is the main traffic line connecting Tibet and Xinjiang, and the highest highway in the world, with an average elevation of nearly 5000 meters. The new 2 19 national highway and the old 2 19 national highway are inclusive, that is, on the basis of the original 2 19 national highway, the new 2 19 national highway extends northward to Kanas, Xinjiang, and southeast to Dongxing, Guangxi. It not only adds tourism elements such as Ya Dan landform, ocean and tropical rain forest to the landscape effect, but also enjoys higher jumping and recognition in climate, altitude and humanities.
2 19 national highway tourist routes:
The first stop is Leizhou Peninsula:
Leizhou Peninsula is a land made of fire and water. The magical crustal movement has made this land, which originally belonged to the ocean, rise to a part of the mainland through volcanic eruption, and become the largest volcanic area in China, monopolizing the title of "Continental Antarctic". Now, 76 extinct volcanoes can be found on the peninsula, as well as fertile soil moistened by a large area of volcanoes, making Leizhou Peninsula a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
The second stop Xu Wen:
South Pole Village of Pineapple Island. Xuwen is located at the southernmost tip of Chinese mainland, facing Hainan across the sea, and is called the South Pole of Chinese mainland. From here along the coast, we blew the sea breeze, and then went to G2 19, just to make up for the lack of ocean scenery in G2 19. Chinese mainland Antarctic Village is located in Jiaowei Township, Leizhou Peninsula, a corner of the mainland, the tail of China. Antarctic village is actually one of dozens of villages under the jurisdiction of Jiaowei countryside. The southernmost point is the Dengloujiao and a beach, and it is also the place where every traveler who goes to Antarctic Village punches in. After that, you can walk along the seaside trail in Pumbaa Harbor to the cross-sea battle monument. On the way, you will meet a huge windmill that rotates slowly, the surging waves in the distance, and the sea salt field beside the road. The pineapple field in Qujie Town of Xuwen is one of the most beautiful rural areas in China. Because of its huge area, when the pineapple is ripe, the endless pineapple ripples in the golden ocean, which was later dubbed "pineapple sea". The locals said: Pumbaa Port, the direction of the cross-sea battle monument, is more suitable for enjoying the sunrise. Every morning, the fiery red sun rises from the sea like a big fat man. The windmills spinning by the sea and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars add a little romance to the sunrise, which is a veritable "million sunrise". Watching the sunset, it is recommended to go to the coastal highway at Jiaowei Wharf. Driving tips: Nanji village is 1 15km away from Leizhou city. You can take X698 to Maichen Town, then S376 to Xuwen, and then G207 to Leizhou, which takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The third stop is Leizhou:
Leizhou Ancient City and Leizhou Peninsula belong to remote areas in ancient times, and have been one of exile places since ancient times. Many famous ministers and literati were exiled here, leaving their marks, such as Su Shi, Su Zhe and Li Guang. In fact, the ancient city is an area with ancient buildings in Leizhou city. Although these ancient buildings have been renovated in modern times, they still retain the ancient style as a whole, but there are some distances between them. If you directly search for the ancient city of Leizhou, you will often jump out of an artificially antique ancient city, so just go directly to various scenic spots. These scenic spots are: Leizu Temple, Sanyuan Tower, Shixian Temple, Tianning Temple and West Lake Park. Leizhou Museum (every Tuesday to Sunday at 8: 30 am-12: 00 pm,14: 30 pm-17: 30 pm, closed on Mondays and closed on legal holidays). In public places in Leizhou Peninsula, in front of family ancestral temple and people's homes, what we saw was not the majestic stone lion, but the ancient totem of Leizhou Peninsula-the stone dog. Leizhou Peninsula is located in the northern tropical zone with low latitude, which is always hot and humid, and it is easy to form negatively charged cumulonimbus clouds, which are induced by iron-rich basaltic volcanic rocks all over the island to form positive charges, which strengthens the magnetoelectric field, thus forming the phenomenon of discharge to the ground, resulting in more than 100 days of thunder in Leizhou Peninsula every year. However, in ancient times, people could not explain this phenomenon scientifically, so in the face of this phenomenon, Leizhou people formed Raytheon worship, and combined with the myths and legends about Leizu Chen Wenyu in Sui and Tang Dynasties, the stone dog totem was determined. There are stone dog statues from the Warring States, Han Dynasty and Ming and Qing Dynasties in the museum. Tips for driving: Leizhou is 225km away from Beihai. It takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to go from G207 to Hengshan Town, turn to G228, then enter Guangxi via Gao Qiao, and finally reach Beihai. Beibu Gulf is a closed bay along the land, with an area of about 12.93 square kilometers. It is located in northern Vietnam, southwestern Guangxi, southwestern Guangdong and northwestern Hainan. It is the main maritime traffic artery between China and Southeast Asian countries, and its geographical position is of great significance to China's Southeast Asian policy. Beibu Gulf Economic Zone consists of Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang and Nanning.
The fourth stop is Beihai:
China First Beach and Weizhou Island. As the first beach in China, Beihai Silver Beach has always been a must-see for Beihai tourists. The total length of Yintan Beach is 24 kilometers, and its total area exceeds the sum of the beach areas of many well-known beaches in China, such as Beidaihe, Qingdao and Xiamen. The best time to enjoy the beauty of the beach is sunrise and sunset. If you are early, you can avoid having sex with other tourists. When you are greedy for the dark, you can walk on the soft beach. Weizhou Island is an island condensed by volcanic eruption, a part of Lei Qiong volcanic earthquake zone, and the youngest volcanic island in China and the largest in Guangxi. The seascape here is not as good as Sanya, Sansha and Maldives, but the life here is simple and full of island flavor. Driving Tips: Beihai is 0/90km away from dongxing city/KLOC. You can take Beihai Road to Hepu County, Beihai City, transfer to G325, and then transfer to G228 via Qinzhou City to dongxing city, which takes about 4 hours and 20 minutes. Scenic spots along the way include Hepu Xingdao Lake and Fangchenggang Xiwan Scenic Area. There is a special highway on the border between Guangxi and Vietnam, which is S325. During the construction, it is required to stick to the border line as much as possible, with karst landforms as the mainstay, and the Zhuang, Miao and Buyi nationalities live together for generations. Therefore, on this road, you can not only see many places separated from Vietnam by a mountain or a river, but also experience ethnic customs. The highway starts from Zhushan Village, dongxing city and ends at Henong Village, Napo County, Baise, with a total length of 725 kilometers. Now it has been transformed and upgraded as a part of G2 19, and it is also the last section of G2 19. About road conditions: Since the construction of the border roads in Guangxi in the Millennium, although the roads have been upgraded many times, the road conditions have become complicated due to the complex terrain, frequent geological disasters and narrow roads. During the period from Dongxing to Pingxiang, the main difficulty is to cross the Panshan Highway facing 100,000 mountains, such as dozens of bends such as Shunfeng 'ao and Ma 'an 'ao. You need to slow down here and pay attention to passing cars. The road condition of Pingxiang-Shuolong section is better than that of Dongxing-Pingxiang. Because it needs to cross some high mountains and hills along the way, there are many uphill roads and corresponding downhill roads, such as the 9-kilometer slope of Daqing Mountain, which passes through Shuikou Port. The population of Shuolong-He Nong section will gradually become scarce, and the accommodation conditions in some villages are poor, so there may be only one or two hotels to choose from, such as Bainan Township.
The fifth stop is Dongxing:
China Land-Sea Interchange is the only gathering place for Jing people. Dongxing Port, the only national first-class port in China connected with Vietnam by land and sea, is opposite to Mang Street in Vietnam, across the Beilun River, and there is a Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Bridge above the Beilun River, which is the land passage from Dongxing Port to Vietnam. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, the most convenient way to travel to Vietnam was to find a nearby travel agency to take a day trip to Mang Street in Vietnam, and then walk across the Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Bridge to visit Mang Street for a day. In addition, the fifth boundary pillar of the Qing Dynasty and the Ho Chi Minh Pavilion near the port are also worth visiting. Daqing No.1 boundary pillar, located at the intersection of Chinese mainland coastline and land boundary line, was the first boundary pillar established in the 16th year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty, so it was called Daqing No.1 boundary pillar, and it was the most precious one among the boundary pillars established by Qing Dynasty.
The sixth stop is Pingxiang:
South Gate of the Motherland. Friendship Pass is one of the most convenient land border crossings for China to enter and leave Vietnam. Zhennanguan, originally one of the nine famous passes in China, is also known as the "South Gate" of China. During the Sino-French War, veteran Feng Zicai also used the terrain here to defeat the French army to win. Marshal Chen Yi, one of the top ten marshals in the founding of the People's Republic of China, wrote the "Friendship Pass" personally, which can be seen above the arch of Friendship Pass. Puzhai, the full name of Puzhai Cultural Tourism City, which never sleeps, is a Sino-Vietnamese border trade market, located on the Chinese side of Sino-Vietnamese boundary pillar 15. If you can't find the place you want to go in Pingxiang, why not come here and stroll along the street, where you can buy inexpensive goods, such as mahogany furniture, mahogany crafts, Burmese jade, horn comb, and various snacks, such as cashew nuts, Vietnamese coffee, dried jackfruit and so on.
The seventh stop is Shuolong:
South Gate of the Motherland. Detian International Waterfall is one of the destinations of almost every traveler who takes the border road. Guichunjiang River is the boundary river between Guangxi and Vietnam. After crossing Vietnam from Jingxi County, Guichunjiang River turned back and fell after encountering a cliff on Putang Island, forming a transnational waterfall named Detian in Guangxi, challenging Vietnam.
The eighth stop estuary:
The only autonomous county in Yunnan with Yao as the main body. Hekou Port, located in Hekou County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, across the river from Vietnam, is the largest port on the Yunnan section of the Sino-Vietnamese border, and also the end point of one of the few meter-gauge railways in China. When you come here, it also means that this trip is coming to an end. Next to the harbor, there is a triangular geometric arch. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, every day vendors from Vietnam's old streets came to China to do business, and travelers who wanted to visit Vietnam's old streets for a day were also sent away.
