The road to the summit is mostly paved. It’s called G317 (China National Highway 317). Open to traffic throughout the year, may be closed for short periods in winter when the weather is bad. The road is steep, hitting a 6% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps.
The pass is 37.4 km (23.23 mile) long, running west-east from Kormang to Daqên. Plan about 45 minutes to complete the drive.
