It is safer to drive four-wheel drives or off-road vehicles, and ordinary sedans or two-wheel drive SUVs must be equipped with anti-skid chains! ✓ The first half of the Genie southern route from Litang to Xiaze Tong Village has better road conditions, while the second half from Xiaze Tong Village to Zeba Village has more unpaved roads, and there is basically no signal along the way. Try to avoid traveling at night and pay attention to the weather in advance! ✓ It's hard to find gas stations on the mountain, so make sure to fill up the tank before setting out each morning~! ✓ The temperature inside the car is very low at night in winter, and liquid items will freeze!

This winter, you can really go on a journey as if walking in a comic! Nature is so healing~❗
