1. Xi'an – Hanzhong

Start your journey from Xi'an, a smooth drive west to reach Zhouzhi county, west of Xi'an. Be careful as you cross the Qinling Mountains to reach Hanzhong city, south of Xi'an.

Attractions along the way: Zhang Qian Tomb, Hanzhong City Museum (ancient Hantai).

2. Hanzhong – Guangyuan

Starting from Hanzhong, continue driving along the narrow and winding mountain road to head for Guangyuan in Sichuan Province. Be careful and drive at a low speed.

3. Guangyuan – Jianmen Pass

It will take a lot of patience to drive along this section of road since it is narrow, and many trucks pass through this area. Prepare enough food and books for leisure. Traveling along the almost endless Shu Road, Jianmen Pass is a highlight of the journey.

4. Jianmenguan Pass – Chengdu

Here you can enjoy a smooth journey with many tourist attractions: Wuhou (Martial Marquis) Tomb to which you can drive along 108 National Highway and reach Wuhou town (admission: 30 yuan). The Site of Sanxingdui which you can drive to by going along the Chengdu to Mianyang expressway and get off at Guanghan City exit (entrance fee: 50 yuan); Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan (admission: 60 yuan), to which you can drive along Chengguan Expressway.
