It was already very late, and Li Younan had no intention of setting off immediately. After driving some distance on the road, the car stopped at a spot on the outskirts of the city suitable for camping. They decided to rest here for the night.
For Li Younan, Zeduo Mountain was naturally not a problem.
The reason why Zeduo Mountain becomes the first challenge for many planning to start their 318 journey is mainly because of... the altitude.
The highest peak of this mountain reaches 4,962 meters, and the pass that needs to be crossed by car is over 4,200 meters, creating an altitude difference of more than 1,800 meters from Kangding City. This is also the first high mountain pass that needs to be crossed on the Sichuan-Tibet route.
In a certain sense, crossing this mountain means truly entering the 318 Sichuan-Tibet highway.
Many who aspire to travel the 318 are forced to turn back due to altitude sickness right here.
