This 59-kilometer self-driving route is located deep in the Gyalrong Tibetan area of Jinchuan County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Starting from Akori Township in the south at an altitude of over 3,900 meters, it crosses the 4,666-meter Akori Pass to the southeast, then descends all the way through the deep mountain gorge of Sawajiao Gully, a tributary of the Dajinchuan River, passes Sawajiao Township and finally reaches Ka'erxi Village, with a total elevation drop of more than 2,500 meters along the entire route. The whole road is paved with smooth asphalt, with the scenery gradually transitioning from open and expansive alpine meadows to lush and gentle river valleys along the way, where rushing mountain streams and cascading waterfalls are scattered; in summer, the valley is cool and humid, with birdsong in the forests mingling with the sound of flowing water, while in autumn, the forests are fully tinged with rich autumn hues, painting the entire mountain in brilliant colors. Primitive Gyalrong Tibetan villages and stretches of contiguous farmland are dotted along the valley, exuding the simple and vibrant charm of Tibetan rural life; the entire route combines the dynamic thrill of mountain road driving with rich natural and cultural layers, making it a lesser-known pristine hidden rural road in western Sichuan.
