My Itchy Feet Cycling Around the World Massive landslide, 崖崩れに道を阻まれる・・・

Massive landslide, 崖崩れに道を阻まれる・・・

The state road, S311 was nice paved road. I took it to Jiancuang city and then took a local road to the north until Hexi city.
綺麗に舗装されたばかりの省道(S311)を老君山まで進み、そこから県道を北に進み河西へ。

From this town, took another local road going west and headed 錐登 city.
河西からさらに西に向う県道を使い、錐登へ向かった。

The view so far was very very nice but the view from this road was absolutely breathtaking.
今までの道も景色は最高だったが、この道から眺める景色はすごかった。

The road was built from many rocks, stone paving, and it goes 50km in high elevation. I could cycle with seeing 4000m class mountains and a river flowing way below where I was.
ボコボコ石畳の道が崖っぷちを50キロ伸びていて、4000メートル級の山々と、狭い谷底を流れる河をはるか下に見ながら進む。

I wondered how much time needed to be a bottom of valley if I fell off.
滑落したら下まで落ちるのに何秒掛かるんだろ？

I took all day to cross this area and finally reached to my dear Mekong river.
この道を一日かけて越へ、やっと愛しきメコン川と再開。

The Mekong in here became very narrow but the water flowing was still massive. This river goes until a desert in the central China.
ここで見るメコン川は明らかに川幅が狭かった。でもまだまだ水量は多い。メコン川はこの先、中国内陸部の砂漠地帯まで続いている。長いなメコン川。

From here, headed north.
ここからメコン川を北上開始。

My destination today was 錐登 city. It looked a new high way has been started constructing, so I took a road under construction.
今日の予定は錐登で1泊。現在、チベット方向に伸びている新公路が建築中で、建築途中の道を進んだ。

I got a big landslide on the way. No way to pass by because this was absolutely massive landslide.
何と錐登到着5キロ手前、大規模崖崩れに道を阻まれる。どう見ても通れない程、激しく崩れている。

I couldn't move for awhile.
その場で身動き取れず。

I communicated with the workers there in writing. They told me that the construction on the way were very very difficult due to steep valley and landslide. There are many sections stopped construction.
しばらく工事関係者と筆談し情報収集したが、ここから先は崖崩れが多く工事も困難を極めているらしい。部分部分で工事も中断してるみたい。

Hnnnn, I don't want to go back the same bumpy road; this road was stone paved so very difficult to go up...
いやいや、今日の道を戻るのか～考えるのも嫌になる悪路。しかも悪路は悪路でも石畳の悪路は本当走り辛い。
