The road to Michen La isn’t an easy one

The road to the summit is pretty defiant. It’s called 627 County Road (Y627). Remember this is a mountainous area, climbing up a high mountain, with a notorius absence of oxygen. Altitude and extreme weather are always a factor. It’s a cliff road running alongside a small creek. The pass road is 62km (38 miles) long, running from Sechangxiang to Gamuxiang.
