Chengdu Lhasa Overland Tour |
|
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway from
Chengdu to Lhasa varies greatly in altitude. A traveler may
experience four seasons within one day. It may snow heavily on
the mountain. But be warm at its foot. For the most part, the
highway is rugged and winding. During the rainy season, the
mountainside often caves in, sending down mudslides that block
the road. Therefore, when taking this route, extra time should
be allowed. Scenic spots along the way include Mount Erlang,
Luding Bridge, Kangding, the Jingsha River, Rawu Lake, Tangmai
(known as the "black spot for mudslides"), and Nyingchi where on
can experience four seasons in a day. |
