Mount Zheduo, A breathtaking gateway to the Tibetan Plateau

North side of Zhongqiao, Ertaizi, Kangding City, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province

The first high mountain when entering Tibet on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway

Introduction

Zheduo Mountain is known as "the first pass in Kangba" because since the Erlang Mountain Tunnel was completed, Zheduo Mountain has become one of the challenging high mountains on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. It is an important geographical boundary. Only when you cross Zheduo Mountain can you truly enter the territory inhabited by the Tibetan people. The road winds up along the mountains, forming a truly "nine bends and eighteen curves". Drivers must be cautious when driving downhill to avoid accidents. After passing through the 4298-meter-high mountain pass on National Highway 318, it extends downward and leads to Xinduqiao, which is paradise for photographers.
