Day 3: Crossing Bingchacha

The Bingchacha line is also known as the eighth road to Tibet, also known as the new Yunnan-Tibet line. It still maintains the original natural beauty. On one side of the Nujiang Canyon is the roaring water of the Nujiang River under a 100-meter-high cliff, and on the other side is a cliff surrounded by clouds and mists like a fairyland. The well-crafted Tibet needs your courage, your courage, and your passion. On this road of donkey abuse that tests your will, you must surpass yourself. Although there are many difficulties on this line, we can still see off-road vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles and even pedestrians on foot.

The whole journey of Bingchacha not only needs to climb three snow-capped mountains, cross mudslides and dead-end roads, but what is even more difficult is that the entire journey is almost all carried out in strong wind and heavy rain, and the most worrying thing is avalanches.
