From Tongmai Bridge to Pailong Section, a total of about 30 kilometers, the mountain road is a small platform on the mountainside formed by digging and piling up soil, hanging high above the river. The roadbed is very soft and the road is difficult to travel. Drivers need to be especially careful when they reach this section. In addition, this section of the road is often closed or limited to a certain time due to road construction, so be mentally prepared.
