The starting point of this highway is in Putou Township, Lixian County, and the end point is Jiesi Township, Xiaojin County, with a total length of approximately 94.9 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction to Lixiao Road: 1. Construction Process and Traffic Conditions After more than ten years of construction, Lixiao Road was officially opened to traffic in June 2024. Its completion ended the long-standing history of no direct transportation between Xiaojin County and Lixian County, greatly shortening the driving time between the two places. Now, it only takes about 1.5 hours to travel from one to the other. 2. Scenery and Attractions Along the Way Lixiao Road boasts beautiful scenery along the way, integrating classic elements of western Sichuan such as snow-capped mountains, forests, river valleys, glaciers, and meadows. It is known as "Sichuan people's own Duku Highway". It passes through the junction of Miyaluo Provincial Natural Scenic Reserve and Siguniang Mountain Natural Scenic Reserve, and goes through top scenic spots including Siguniang Mountain, Jiesigou, Liangtaigou, Bipenggou, and Wenchuan Luobuzhai, as well as small scenic spots such as Daerpu (note: Liangtaigou is already listed as a top scenic spot, so it is not repeated here to avoid redundancy). In autumn, the mountains along the way undulate, and the forests are dyed in rich colors, like a series of exquisite oil paintings, which are fascinating. 3. Humanities and Cultural Heritage Lixiao Road is not only rich in natural landscapes but also connects multiple ethnic gathering areas, including Tibetan, Qiang, and Han communities. It has unique humanistic features and profound cultural heritage. The ethnic villages and traditional cultural carriers along the way provide tourists with opportunities to understand the local culture. Tourists can experience the lifestyles of different ethnic groups and feel the integration of multiple cultures. 4. Tourism Value and Impact The opening of Lixiao Road has opened up a new route for tourism in western Sichuan and broadened the key path for accelerating economic development along the route. It has enabled more and more villagers to develop businesses such as homestays and restaurants through the tourism industry, realizing employment and a better life at their doorsteps. At the same time, this road has become one of the rare high-quality tourist routes in Sichuan Province, attracting a large number of tourists for self-driving, camping, and hiking. Lixiao Road is a provincial highway that integrates natural scenery, cultural history, and tourism value. It is not only an important channel connecting Lixian County and Xiaojin County but also an excellent window to showcase the beautiful scenery and diverse culture of western Sichuan. #ChinaStreetView #DrivingTourChina #ImmersiveDriving #4KDriving #LixiaoRoad #SichuanInternetFamousRoad #AbaScenicRoute #HighwayDriving
