The Sichuan-Tibet line is so easy, why do many people say it is dangerous?

The northern line of the Sichuan-Tibet line is 24 12 kilometers long, and the highest point along the way is Queer Mountain at an altitude of 5050 meters. The southern line is 2 146 kilometers long and passes through Litang at an altitude of 40 14 meters. There is a highway (169 km) between the north and south lines connecting Changdu and Bangda, belonging to Xiaobei line. Because of its short journey and lower altitude than the northern line, the southern line took the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to Tibet. Entering Tibet along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, from east to west, it has successively crossed 14 steep peaks with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and crossed rushing rivers such as Dadu River, Jinsha River, Nujiang River and Lancang River. The journey is arduous and dangerous, but the scenery is magnificent, including snow-capped mountains, virgin forests, grasslands, glaciers, canyons and rivers.

The Sichuan-Tibet National Highway 3 18 is famous for its risks, and it is the main highway traffic channel leading to southwest provinces and cities in Tibet. However, in rainy season, national highway 3 18 102 landslide group and Tongmai-KLOC-0/05 highway are muddy and natural disasters occur frequently.

The Sichuan-Tibet line is only easy to walk for a few months a year. The best time to enter and leave Tibet along the Sichuan-Tibet line is May and mid-August-10. May to August is the rainy season in the west. The Sichuan-Tibet line is often broken due to frequent mudslides and landslides, which are full of many dangerous factors. It takes courage and determination to cross the landslide area on foot.
