Set high in the Ngonkhori mountain range, the road to the summit is unpaved. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended. The road is not easy, with countless turns and twists. The pass is 75.1 km (46.66 miles) long, running north-south from Sêrxü (on G345 road) to Luoxuzhen. Running parallel to S456 road, the road to the summit is very steep, hitting a 16% of maximum gradient through some of the ramps.
