The 72nd turn of the Nujiang River is located in the Basu County in the Qamdo region, and is located between the Changdu Bangda and Basu on the southern Sichuan-Tibet line, also known as "the 99th turn of the Sichuan-Tibet". The 72nd turn of the Nujiang River is not a scenic spot, but almost all passers-by will stop for a while and enjoy the surrounding mountains when they reach the commanding heights of the road. The Nujiang River 72 turns westward from Bangda, climbs Yela Mountain with an altitude of about 4,658 meters, and then circles down to the Nujiang Canyon with an altitude of about 3,100 meters. The relative height difference is nearly 1,500 meters, and the winding road is about 12 kilometers. As the only way to go through the south Sichuan-Tibet line, the road is narrow and the slope is steep. For many riders or riders, it is precisely because of its danger that it is more challenging. Pedestrians passing by this road every year are full of sigh.
