The road to the summit is totally paved. It’s called China National Highway 317 (G317). When the snow falls - which it does in the winter – things get tough and slippery. The pass is 81.2 km (50.45 miles) long, running west-east from Jue'enxiang to Kamaduoxiang. The climb features steep sections, hitting an 8% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps.
