Overland
to Lhasa:
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway from Chengdu to Lhasa
varies greatly in altitude. A traveler may experience four
seasons within one day. It may snow heavily on the mountain.
But be warm at its foot. For the most part, the highway is
rugged and winding. During the rainy season, the
mountainside often caves in, sending down mudslides that
block the road. Therefore, when taking this route, extra
time should be allowed. Scenic spots along the way include
Mount Erlang, Luding Bridge, Kangding, the Jingsha River,
Rawu Lake, Tangmai (known as the "black spot for
mudslides"), and Nyingchi where on can experience four
