Nujiang 72 Turns|Thrilling Sky Road Adventure on National Highway 318, Racing in the Clouds is Explosively Fun!

✨The highlight of Highway 318! 72 hairpin turns more exciting than Akina Mountain! Even Initial D wouldn’t dare film like this! The devilish S-turn with an altitude difference of 1800 meters sends your adrenaline soaring all the way~💨 📍Location: G318, Basu County, Chamdo City, Tibet 🚗 Travel Tips: - Recommended for self-driving (for experienced drivers only! Beginners advised against) - About 2 hours drive from Bangda Town - Beware of falling rocks/black ice during the rainy season⚠️ 🔥Adventure Route: 1️⃣ Bangda Grassland (altitude 4120m) A gentle start on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau! Yak herds + prayer flags create perfect road photo scenes 2️⃣ Yela Mountain Pass (4658m) Altitude sign check-in! Must stop at the prayer flag tunnel for photos📸 3️⃣ 72 Turns Viewing Platform (guaranteed to make your legs weak) God’s eye view of the zigzag sky road! Perfect drone launch spot 4️⃣ Nujiang Gorge (adrenaline slow-release zone) Driving close to the cliff! The red mountains by the river look like the surface of Mars 📸 Top photo spots: 1. Yela Mountain Prayer Flag Tunnel (aerial shot of cars passing through colorful flags is amazing) 2. Third Viewing Platform at 72 Turns (use a telephoto lens to capture the winding road) 3. First Bend of Nujiang Gorge (contrast of red mountains and emerald river) ⚠️ Real Experience: - Every turn feels like playing Forza Horizon 😱 - Motion sickness pills! Oxygen tank! Sunglasses! The lifesaving trio - Afternoon backlight makes photos look better - No guardrails on cliff sections, don’t imitate influencers by sitting on the car roof to take photos
