There is no emergency lane on the Linla Expressway. In addition to the service area, there is an emergency parking area not far away on the road.

These emergency parking areas, which are about two or three kilometers apart, not only allow vehicles to park, but also viewing platforms one by one.

Just like the parking area where Lao Liu is now parked, it is a good viewing platform.

At this time, the Linla Expressway had already run from the south bank of the Niyang River to the north bank, so when standing in the parking area and passing through the expressway, you can still clearly see the five towering castles more than 300 meters away and Xiuba Village located on the hillside.

Xiuba Village is no different from other Tibetan villages seen on the road. They are all exquisite two-story buildings.

The village is not big, with only about twenty or less than thirty households.

Exquisite two-story buildings are arranged in an orderly manner on the hillside, surrounded by green trees, and behind them are mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000.

On the west side of the village, there are five ancient castles of varying heights, with the highest height of about fifty meters.

Because they were far away, they could not see clearly these ancient castles built in the late Tang Dynasty, but the general shape could still be seen clearly.

In fact, these ancient castles are similar to modern water towers or old chimneys, but they are not round and look square.

"The information on the Internet says that the original function of these ancient castles was similar to the beacon tower, and was used to inform the public. And there are other ancient castles nearby, but these five ancient castles are the best preserved..." Chu Qian found information about the ancient castle in Xiuba Village on her mobile phone as usual and began to explain it to Lao Liu.

In fact, this method is pretty good. If there is no specific information or a tour guide, you will not know what these five ancient castles stand here are. But if you look at them based on the information, you will know more and have a more intuitive understanding of the ancient castles.

We stayed here for about ten minutes, took some photos, and took a few short videos. The two of us continued our journey.

After I got on the road this time, I never stopped again. After more than 40 minutes, I drove to Bayibei Interactive.

Because it was already past twelve o'clock, Lao Liu planned to get off the expressway here and enter the city of Bayi, and continue to move forward after lunch in Bayi. Of course, getting off the expressway from here means that from here to Ya'an, the easternmost part of the Hengduan Mountains, there is no more expressway on the way, and the whole journey is a two-lane Sichuan-Tibet Highway.

After getting off the expressway and crossing the Niyang River Bridge, the car drove into National Highway 318.

"Yeah, the trees on the roadside are old, right?" Old Liu exclaimed while driving, looking at the old willow trees on the roadside.

There is still six or seven kilometers from the expressway exit to the urban area. You can walk along National Highway 318 and you can see each other from time to time on both sides. In some places, you can connect such old willow trees in a row, and the thick tree body looks shocking.

"I guess they were planted when the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was built back then." Chu Qian was also very interested in these old willow trees that were decades old. She took many photos with her mobile phone and recorded some short videos.

"Those old seniors are really amazing." Old Liu sincerely praised the old seniors who built the Sichuan-Tibet Highway back then.

After entering the city of Bayi, the two of them prepared to choose a big meal according to some restaurants they found online. After going there, they asked, the main dishes of these restaurants were either stone pots or Sichuan cuisine...

Can Lao Liu eat spicy food? But it can't help but make you feel so bad? So Lao Liu can't say that he loves Sichuan cuisine. On the contrary, he likes Hunan cuisine and Hubei cuisine quite well? He likes that simple spicy food.

As for Chu Qian, she can choose even fewer dishes.

She is a native of Hangzhou. She grew up eating Hangzhou cuisine since she was a child. Although she can still eat some Shanghai cuisine, Su cuisine and even Cantonese cuisine? Even Beijing cuisine and Shandong cuisine can deal with it, Sichuan cuisine is really not her dish.

In her words, I complained: "The reason why I eat snacks all day long is because the food here is too unto my taste..."

Well, girls who love snacks will always find one reason or another.

But for Chu Qian, Tibetan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, it is indeed difficult for her.

Seeing Chu Qian in a dilemma? Naturally, Lao Liu would not make a choice from these restaurants anymore.

The two of them wandered around the city for almost an hour before finally finding a Northeast restaurant near the Bayi Hotel.

The restaurant is not big, it is the most common store building with two floors on the street. However, the business of this restaurant is really good, and the small storefront is full of customers.

Because they brought the white lion, the two of them couldn't eat inside. But the boss's wife was good? She moved out a table with Lao Liu, and the two of them sat at the door and ate.

Anyway, the sun is in full bloom at noon? It’s a bit hot to eat while basking in the sun.

"Well, this chicken stewed mushrooms is delicious!" Chu Qian was very beautiful.

What's the point? Don't be too big of a big deal about this little restaurant. Master's skills are really good. Even a girl like Chu Qian who is used to eating Hangzhou cuisine? She even praised the food here.

Especially the chicken stewed hazel mushroom made by the boss and chef? Chu Qian praised it all the time.

"This boss is definitely an authentic Northeast cuisine chef, and these ingredients should have been made from the Northeast, otherwise he would not be able to make such authentic Northeast cuisine." Lao Liu is very familiar with Northeast cuisine, and he can eat authentic Northeast cuisine in one bite.

"Come on, my wife, try this dish of boiled white meat, and the taste is quite authentic." Lao Liu invited Chu Qian to taste another representative dish of Northeast cuisine, blanched white meat.

Chu Qian looked at the white meat slices in the soup bowl with a look of horror, "I don't eat this, it's so scary."

For a girl who loves beauty, the dish of white meat is indeed a bit scary. The large pork belly slices entangled with sauerkraut in the soup bowl are as big as a baby's slap.

People who love meat will be sure to eat this dish and swallow their tongues into their stomachs. But if a girl who loves beauty and is afraid of fat sees these meat, ten of them will not move a single chopstick.

"Haha, my wife, you don't know this. This dish looks scary but tastes absolutely delicious! If you taste a little bite, don't eat it if it doesn't suit the taste. Really, don't refuse to try some things, because once you refuse, you may miss a delicious dish that will last forever."

Chu Qian still shook her head desperately, "I won't eat it, this is too greasy."

"Can I still harm you? You only need to taste a small bite, but I didn't let you eat more."

"No, I'd better not want it..."

Chu Qian refused at first, but seeing how delicious her boyfriend was eating, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva after a while, then gestured with her hand to a shape that was not much larger than her fingernail and said, "Then why don't you get me a small piece and try it. Don't be too big, just a small piece..."

...

"Oh... I'm so full..." In the passenger seat, Chu Qian covered her stomach and acted coquettishly, "It's all your fault that you let me eat so much..."

"Grandma, can we not bring such an unfair accusation? My mouth is on you, and I can't control how much your mouth eats. Why are you blaming me?"

Bai Shi seemed to think that what her mother said was wrong, so she hummed at Chu Qian twice, which made Chu Qian give Bai Shi two big eyes that were bigger than the Milky Way.

"It's your fault. If you didn't let me eat that white meat, if you took me to find this restaurant, if you didn't order the dishes that suited my taste, would I have eaten more?"

When facing an unreasonable woman, especially this woman is still your favorite person, then your best way is to shut up immediately.

You can neither make her really angry nor find all kinds of reasons, and you have to coax her well! Therefore, you have taken an absolute failure in your innate position, and you will definitely not be able to gain a advantage when you argue with such a woman.

"Why don't we get off the car and have a meal? When I looked at the map just now, I saw that there is a World Cypress King Park not far from here. Or we'll go in and have a meal and take a look at the World Cypress King?"

"Okay, I heard Nana talk about the big cypress, but unfortunately I didn't go to see it when I came last time."

"You were just hiking last time, and you have the intention to see other places? Speaking of this, I really admire you. You, a girl, dare to enter the uninhabited land of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon alone. Where did you have such courage?" It's okay to say something else, but when you mention this, Lao Liu was really scared.

Especially after experiencing the danger of being surrounded by heavy snow for several days, Lao Liu was even more afraid of the girl's actions of entering the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon alone.

"It's not as dangerous as you think. If I say it's a no-man's land, you believe it? I have only walked in 20 or 30 kilometers and it took two days to go back and forth. Where can I go deep into the no-man's land? Not only is it a no-man's land, but there are roads. I also encountered several villages on the way. What I told you about hiking the no-man's land is bragging, okay... Okay, it's not okay if I was wrong..." Chu Qian pouted and admitted her mistake.

"You must not do such a second-tier thing in the future. It's too dangerous. Well, if you really want to do it, please tell me to go together." Old Liu raised his eyebrows at his girlfriend.

Chu Qian's face suddenly opened, "Liu Mo'ang, you are so nice to me."

The place where they had dinner was on the roadside of National Highway 318. Not long after driving along National Highway 318, they entered an area similar to a small processing plant. Both sides of the road were filled with small steel structures, and they were trained into a large area.

There are prompts for the road signs in front. Follow the prompts to turn left and enter a quiet small road. At the end, you will reach the World Cypress King Garden.

The car was parked in the parking lot, Lao Liu tied a dog leash on the white lion, Chu Qian led the white lion, Lao Liu ran to the ticket office and spent 60 yuan to buy two tickets.

There were two Tibetan staff members chatting happily at the place where the ticket was checking. One of them saw Chu Qian holding a white lion, but he didn't let him in without looking carefully. The reason was very simple. Large pet dogs were not allowed to enter in public.

However, another older Tibetan corpse seemed to recognize the identity of the white lion and asked Lao Liu in surprise: "Is your dog a snow mastiff?"

Old Liu clasped his hands together and Zashi Dele, "Yes, this snow mastiff is a snow mastiff from the grassland ranch in northern Tibetan, my child."

The white lion cooperated with two low roars, which immediately made the two Tibetan compatriots stand up respectfully and fold their hands together.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were basically no tourists in the park, otherwise Lao Liu would not have brought the white lion out.

"This divine dog is really the patron saint of the ranch?" asked the older Tibetan sect.

"Yes, the white lion is a real mastiff that can drive away Tibetan wolf and protect cattle and sheep!" Lao Liu said proudly, "In the pasture, the white lion is a guardian dog that can bite Tibetan wolf to death, but when I am here, it is very obedient and will never disturb tourists. I can guarantee this. I opened an inn at the foot of Nianqing Tanggula Peak Mountain. There are many guests coming and going every day, but the white lion will never disturb tourists."

Lao Liu told a little lie. The white lion who returned to the inn came back to sleep at night, basically stayed in the ranch during the day, so of course it could not disturb the tourists.

The two Tibetans clasped their hands together again and smiled at the white lion, then letting the two dogs in.

After entering the door, there are steps, and after climbing the steps, there is a wooden plank road connected.

Thick giant cypresses stand in a row on the hillside. Even the thinnest giant cypress must be at least as thick as two people hugging each other. There are also some giant cypresses that are surrounded by individually, with a breast diameter of one or two meters.

After walking along the wooden plank road for a while, I came down to a relatively wide square, with an amazing thick giant cypress standing on the north side of the small square.

"My God, how can this tree be so thick?" Chu Qian was shocked by this amazingly thick tree, and Lao Liu was not much better.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lao Liu has lived such a big life and has never seen such a thick or such a tall tree!

Although Lao Liu had seen the big banyan tree in Yangshuo when he was traveling to Guilin before, the big banyan tree was too short. When people saw it, they could only exclaim, "The crown of this big banyan tree is so big..."

But when ten people saw this giant cypress, they probably had to say "Damn it!"

The wooden plank road surrounded the giant cypress in a C shape, leaving only a gap on the side facing the square.

But there is also a circle of fences built with stones at the root of the giant cypress. This circle of stone fences is covered with layers of Hadas, and I don’t know how many Hadas are laid here.

Several tourists were taking photos under the giant cypress. Lao Liu did not dare to come forward with the white lion, but came to the southern end of the small square with Chu Qian to start taking pictures of the giant cypress.

The giant cypress is really tall, and it is estimated to be at least 50 meters high. Only by standing at the southern end of the small square can all be put into the camera.

After the tourists under the tree were almost gone, Lao Liucai and Chu Qian took the white lion to approach the giant cypress.

Only when you get closer can you more clearly feel the oppression brought by this big tree.

This is really too "dummy". How big is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to raise such a giant tree?

It was estimated that the breast diameter of this giant cypress must be at least about six meters. People stood in front of this giant cypress, like a cigarette butt standing in front of a wine bottle...

In front of the stone fence, there is a round stone about 80 centimeters high. It is painted with white paint and five big words "The King of Cypresses in the World" are written in red paint. Next to it are a few lines of small words - the tree is 3233 years old, with a bust of 14.8m, a tree height of 50m, and the measurement date is 2015.6.

Chu Qian calculated by her fingers: "This is the data measured in 2015. Then this year, isn't this tree 3237 years old? My God, my grandfather's grandfather's..."
