1, G3 18 A well-deserved Canyon Road

"All the way through the Thousand Gorges, National Highway 3 18 is a well-deserved canyon road."

G3 18 spans the eastern, central and western parts of China with a total length of 5476KM, connecting eight provinces from Shanghai to Tibet. Among them, Sichuan-Tibet Line is the most quintessential and suitable section for road trip.

The Sichuan-Tibet line is very long, but it is not monotonous and long, and it is beautiful. Driving along the expressway, the beautiful scenery along the way is like a picture scroll, which is beautiful.

All the way to the west, the altitude gradually climbed. When you drive through the basin, pass by the plain, meet the plateau, make a pilgrimage to the holy mountain, and meet the beautiful Haizi among the mountains, you will find that this route is not only a shocking beauty, but also a gorgeous humanistic style.

2. Medog Highway There is a magical place in Tibet. Here, at the foot of the snow-capped mountain is a tropical jungle, and there are cabins scattered in the depths of the canyon. Banana leaves are abundant on both sides of the road. This is the secret realm of lotus-Medog.

Medog, known as "Apollo Baimagang", means "Hidden Lotus". Namgyabawa Peak in northern Medog is 7782 meters high, while the lowest river in the south is only about 700 meters above sea level. The huge altitude difference has created the natural environment of Medog in different days.

Here you can even feel the instant transition between winter and summer. How magical Medog is, we won't know until we go, but there is a saying among tourists: "It is difficult to enter Tibet, and it is even harder to enter Medog."

Once upon a time, entering Medog was a gamble of life. When you try to cross the pass of the 4000-meter-long snowy mountain and the virgin forest where leeches, poisonous insects and wild animals haunt, you may encounter avalanches, heavy rains, landslides and swamps at any time along the way.

The closed environment and steep road make Medog the most difficult and farthest place, and this situation was finally changed on 20 13.

After constant repair, constant destruction and numerous reconstructions, the asphalt road leading to Medog is impressively embedded in the mountains. Medog Highway was officially opened to traffic on 20 13, 10 and 3 1, with a short span of1/7 km. After 40 years of hard work, Medog, a secret lotus flower, is in full bloom in front of the world.
