Situation of Jieshan Daban Highway

Dabanguan in Jieshan is actually the watershed between Longmucuo and Mangcuo, 7.5 kilometers to the south. From there, it is a 500-meter downhill road to Ali. Then, it is a 4-kilometer-long gentle slope with a slope of 20/1000. The top of the slope is at least 50 meters higher than the monument of Jieshan Daban. This puzzled many travelers who thought that Jieshan Daban was the highest point of the New Tibet Highway. They crossed Jieshan Daban and walked down the mountain to the Shiquan River in Ali. In fact, the highest point of the New Tibet Highway is 23km south of Daban in Jieshan, and Daban in K74 1 km is covered with red soil. The elevation measured by GPS is 5256.50 meters, and the elevation indicated on the bulletin board of the First Brigade of the Eighth Traffic Detachment of the Armed Police Force is 5230 meters. Daban in red soil is the watershed between Mangcuo and Bangong Lake. From the red clay slab to the south, 88 kilometers down the mountain, to the township government of Doma, Ritu County.
