Sichuan-Tibet line ushers in the most beautiful season

Sichuan-Tibet Highway, which was originally called Kangding-Tibet Highway (a section of No. 318 National Trunk Highway), starts from Chengdu, Sichuan province on the east and ends at Lhasa of Tibet on the west.

It is 2,415 kilometers long, including a 1,304-kilometer-long section in Tibet. On December 25, 1954, it was open to Lhasa (Sichuan-Tibet Highway north line). Since the opening of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway north line, Dongerluo-Zhubalong-Bamda south section has been under construction, and it was completed section by section from 1954 to 1969. Key reconstruction has resulted in the current Sichuan-Tibet Highway south line, which has 1,285 kilometers in Tibet.
