Here's How To Have The Ultimate Road Trip To Yingkuoshan Pass

Yingkuoshan Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 4.465m (14,648ft) above the sea level, located in the Chindu County of Qinghai Province, in China.

Set high between Yushu and Xining, the road to the summit, also known as Jarong La, is totally paved. It’s called G214 road. When the snow falls - which it does in the winter – things get tough and slippery. The road is very steep, hitting a 7% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps. This drive offers jaw-dropping views, unparalleled freedom, and lots of fresh air. The pass was bypassed by a tunnel on the G0613 road.
