The Xinjiang-Tibet Highway is even more treacherous than the Shu Road. The Kudi Pass is perilous, akin to the Gate of Hell; the Mazha Pass is steep, rising sharply 5,300 meters high; the HeiKa Pass twists with ninety-nine turns; the Jieshan Pass curves as if you could touch the sky... The Xinjiang-Tibet Highway is the highest-altitude, most dangerous, worst-conditioned, and harshest-environment road in the world. It is China's National Highway 219, yet it is inferior even to a county-level road in inland China. Where the road is drivable, vehicles inevitably leave behind trails of dust stretching for miles; where driving is impossible, the road is riddled with potholes over 50 centimeters in diameter. As for sections washed away by floods, the only options are to traverse riverbeds or struggle through fields of cobblestones.
