Driving on one of the most breathtaking mountain roads in Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan - China National Highway G213 from Chuanzhusi to Mao County.
National Highway G213 is an important highway in Northwest and Southwest China. It starts from Ceke Port in Ejin Banner, Inner Mongolia, and ends at Mohan Port in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. The entire route is about 4,136 kilometers. National Highway G213 spans Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces, and is a magnificent road connecting Northwest and Southwest China.
In the Sichuan section, Highway G213 passes through world-class scenic spots such as Ruoergai Flower Lake, Tangke Nine Bends First Bay, Wolong Nature Reserve, as well as the magnificent scenery of Gannan Prairie and Songpan. Especially starting from Chuanzhusi Town in Songpan County, along the way, you can enjoy the deep river valley and towering mountains of the Minjiang River Grand Canyon, as well as tourist areas with Qiang culture as the theme, such as Pingtou Qiang Village and Qiangxiang Ancient Village.
In addition, Highway G213 also has important historical significance. For example, the section from Dujiangyan to Wenchuan was once the main passage from the earthquake-stricken areas of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture to the outside world, and played the role of a lifeline during the Wenchuan earthquake. The Songpan grassland on the Gannan Plateau was also an important area that the Red Army crossed, leaving many traces of revolutionary history.
Chuanzhusi is an important node on the National Highway G213, connecting Jiuzhaigou, Songpan and other ethnic minority areas, and is the only way to these areas. Its superior geographical location makes Chuanzhusi an important hub for tourism transportation.
30 kilometers to the east of Chuanzhusi Town is the Huanglong Scenic Area, 80 kilometers to the north is Jiuzhaigou, and 15 kilometers to the south is Songpan County and Munigou. These attractions provide tourists with a wealth of travel options.
