Yela Mountain 99 road turn, did not understand, and Nujiang 72 road turn is the same thing, right? In short, it is to turn around, the road is actually good to go, it looks steep, and Hefeng's wall hanging, higher, driving up, there is nothing difficult.
Nujiang 72 turn is located in the Qamdo Bangda to Basu area on the southern Sichuan-Tibet line, this road is also known as "99 Sichuan-Tibet curve". From the lowest point of altitude 3,100 meters, it climbs all the way to the highest point of Yela Mountain Pass at 4,651 meters, and then circled down to Bangda Town at 4,100 meters above sea level, about 12 kilometers long. You can take a panoramic view in the middle of the day when it is sunny. Close to the west of the sun, the thick cumulus clouds suppress the peaks of the peaks, and under the sunset, they reflect colorful light and color, highlighting the beautiful scenery of the former Tibetan area.
Yela Mountain (Nujiang Mountain) is located in Basu County, Qamdo District, Tibet Autonomous Region. The entrance is at G318, with a height of 4658 meters. After passing the entrance from Bangda Town, 4120 meters, it is the famous "Nujiang 72 turn", also known as "99th road turn". These turns are urgent and steep, most of them are U-shaped bends. Each turn is piled with mud of 20 or 30 cm thick, and the car covers the sky as soon as the wheels roll up the earth. Accidentally, the Nu River is waiting for you below. It is daunting and can be called a miracle on the Chinese road! Then go down is the Nujiang Bridge, not long after passing through, it is the Basu County at an altitude of 3260 meters under the mountain.
Some people say that there are more than 99 turns, I have not counted how many turns carefully, and my attention is focused on driving. The road conditions are very good now, as long as you focus, it should not be difficult to pass this section. There is an observation deck at the mountain pass, which can see the whole landscape very clearly.
From Wenchuan County, there has been a continuous mountain road. I really forgot how many mountains I passed here! The terrain of Yela Mountain has a lot of ups and downs, and there are many bends on the road, so we take a longer time. But as a driver, I feel that the bend here seems to be a little more relaxed than the Nujiang 72 turn! Moreover, occasionally there are small wildlife on the road, we all feel very novel! Plus the beautiful scenery outside the car window, from time to time break into the view, people do not seem so tired!
After turning from Nujiang 72, the mountain road continued. When I arrived at Yela Mountain, I really forgot how many mountains I climbed! Yela Mountain has more road bends and takes longer, but the husband of the driver said that I feel that the curve here is a little slower, and it is better than before! But no matter how good it is, I still haven't tried it. If I choose to drive on the roof of the world, I am more intoxicated with the scenery outside the window!
