Is it possible to enter Dulongjiang in winter?

The entire Dulongjiang Highway has been completed and opened to traffic, and the travel time from Gongshan County to Dulongjiang Township has been shortened to about 3 hours

“Coming out of Dulongjiang today, I discovered the Dulongjiang Highway Tunnel The interior lights are bright and the ventilation facilities are in operation. Now the Dulongjiang Highway is much easier to travel. "Yesterday, Mr. Liu, a Qujing-born owner of a frozen food business in Liuku, the capital of Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, was working for the Dulong Nu people in Gongshan. Said with emotion after several supermarkets in Dulongjiang Township, Autonomous County, returned to Liuku after delivering frozen food.

"The complete completion of the tunnel ventilation, lighting and other electromechanical installation projects marks the completion and opening of the Dulongjiang Highway to traffic." said the person in charge of the Gaoligongshan Tunnel Construction Project on the Dulongjiang Highway.

For thousands of years, people of the Dulong people have used ziplines to cross the river and go out into the mountains to take the "Heavenly Road". From the 96.2-kilometer-long Dulongjiang Simple Highway built in 1999 with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, to today's smooth road all year round, it has entrusted the dreams and expectations of several generations of Dulong people.

The Dulongjiang Highway Reconstruction Project, which started construction in 2010, has a total investment of 780 million yuan and a total route length of 79.982 kilometers, including 6,680 meters of new tunnels, which is 16 kilometers shorter than the original highway. In the past five years, the Highway Construction Headquarters has carefully organized, scientifically managed, and constructed scientifically. All construction personnel have carried forward the spirit of highway workers who are "especially able to endure hardship, especially able to fight, and especially able to contribute" and have braved rain, snow, ice, and mudslides. We fought hard and overcame many difficulties such as the harsh construction environment, difficult conditions, and heavy snow blocking the mountains, and advanced the project construction work safely, high-quality, efficiently, and cleanly. In November 2012, the road civil engineering project was completed ahead of schedule in accordance with the contract period. In May 2013, the road civil engineering project was completed and put into trial operation, shortening the travel time from Gongshan County to Dulongjiang Township from the original 8 to 9 hours to about 3 hours. . On December 20, 2014, the civil construction project of the Dulongjiang Tunnel was successfully completed and emergency access was achieved.

"Currently, the signs and markings of the Dulongjiang Highway and other ancillary projects have been completed. Our construction team has all evacuated. After the two-year trial operation is completed, the entire project will be officially handed over to the management and protection unit. ”

Therefore, Dulongjiang, which was originally isolated from the world in winter, is now accessible. You can get in and out quickly all year round, no longer bothered by heavy snowfall.
