A guide to the scenic spots on National Highway 317 Sichuan-Tibet Line, what are the must-see scenic spots on Sichuan-Tibet 317

National Highway 317 (Northern Sichuan-Tibet Line) and National Highway 318 (Southern Sichuan-Tibet Line) both belong to the Sichuan-Tibet Line, but compared with 318, the road condition of 317 is obviously much worse. It is said that in the old days, 317 was also called the "Road to Hell" , you need to pass through a very long no-man’s land. Even though the road conditions are now much better after the road is renovated, 317 is still a route into Tibet that only tourists who visit Tibet for the “Nth time” will consider. The best time to travel in and out of Tibet along the northern Sichuan-Tibet line is from May to October. June to July is the rainy season in the west. The Sichuan-Tibet line has frequent mudslides and landslides, so the itinerary should be more generous. In addition to being able to appreciate Sichuan-Tibet during the rainy season, In addition to the beautiful scenery along the route, it also requires the courage and determination to hike through the landslide area. Therefore, considering safety issues, it is not recommended to enter Tibet in June or July.
