The road to the summit is totally unpaved but navigable by all passenger vehicles. However, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. The pass is 96.9 km (60.21 miles) long running west-east from G214 road in Dawacun to G317 road, north of Tuobaxiang.
The climb is not steep, hitting a 5% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps. Remember this is a mountainous area, climbing up a high mountain, with a notorius absence of oxygen. Altitude and extreme weather are always a factor.
