Self-driving on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, I also became the female driver who conquered the 72-turn road on the Nu River.

"After all the 72 twists and turns, life will be smooth from now on." How many people are there because of this slogan? And I’m starting to yearn for the 72nd Turn on the Nujiang River🏎️ This is a place I am looking forward to on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line Bangda Town🔜Basu County, you can see the winding mountain road from a long distance, overlooking the continuous sharp turns and steep slopes, and you can feel your heart beating faster before you get there🏔️ ✔️Bangda Town, with an altitude of 4,100 meters, climbs to the Yela Pass at 4,651 meters, then spirals down to 3,100 meters, with a total length of 12 kilometers. It is the most dangerous section of the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line and is thrilling. ✔️There is a viewing platform near Yela Pass where you can see the full view of the 72nd Turn and the classic road sign 318🚸. Just take a photo of it and it will be a road blockbuster. There are also photographers who can help you take photos for free. ✔️Surrounding tours🔛Nujiang 72 Turn Grand Canyon Scenic Area/Bangda Grassland/Ranwu Lake/Laigu Glacier 💡Tips ✅The road section is steep, there are many large trucks, and there may be water accumulation or falling rocks. Be sure to pay attention to self-driving safety ✅Do not overtake or stop to take photos at curves⛔️, and try to avoid driving at night ✅The altitude here is relatively high and the weather is changeable, so be careful about altitude sickness and keep warm🧣 ✅Road closures may occur at irregular times and at varying lengths😖Be sure to leave early if you have to catch a flight or something like that
