Gangtuo Bridge

From Dege to Chang, you will pass through Gantuo Town, Gantang County. This is a small town surrounded by mountains. It is accompanied by the Jinsha River. The terrain is very complicated. The road of the car dealership G317 is becoming more and more difficult to walk. After the Gantuo tunnel, the Jinsha River Bridge in Gantuo Town is in front. This bridge is an arched bridge, the appearance is very characteristic, as the boundary of the intersection of Sichuan and Tibet, facing the direction from Sichuan, a huge blue and white "Tibet Main Gate Welcomes You" painted card. Gangtuo Bridge is poured by concrete, built more than 50 years ago, still bears the heavy responsibility of passing people and cars across the Jinsha River, presumably at that time was also a huge project.

Blue Jinsha River, super beautiful, the bridge is also beautiful, it is worth experiencing the original ecology

The bridge is the new bridge of the Jinsha River Bridge, which is magnificent

After two days of Mercedes-Benz, the team finally arrived at the Gangtuo Bridge in Jiangda County, Changdu, Tibet, on the morning of October 12. This bridge is only 159 meters long and about 7 meters wide. It is the boundary bridge between Sichuan and Tibet. It has been open to traffic since December 1974 and crosses this bridge. It officially entered the territory of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Still nostalgic for the beautiful scenery on National Highway 317, here I received a warm welcome and warm reception from the local government leaders and the people: a bright smiley face, a white Hada, a sincere blessing, and prepared fruits and potatoes, washed away the dust all the way, The meaning of travel is not just in the scenery, but also in the different people you meet. In addition, Jiangda is still a memorable revolutionary place, the Jinshajiang 18th Army Ferry was here, after decades of wind and rain, still relatively complete retaining the historical scene and the achievements of the ancestors, Jiangda is also the first stop to liberate Tibet. Here you can also feel the intangible cultural heritage with local characteristics, Polo woodcuts and rock-than-crafts, etc., which is an eye-opener.
