## About Southern Sichuan–Tibet Highway (G318)

The Southern Sichuan–Tibet Line, also known as the “Jiangnan Heavenly Road” or “Southern 318.” The highway runs from Qinglong Township in Ningguo City in the east to Caicun Town in Jing County in the west, and its core section is 120 km long. The route combines the beauty of the Guilin landscape, the wonders of the Yunnan Stone Forest, and the perils of the 318 Sichuan–Tibet Line, embodying the finest scenery of southern Anhui. The road winds and thrills, with green mountains and bamboo seas stretching on and wide reservoirs appearing here and there. It passes through Gangkouwan, the largest reservoir in southeast Anhui, and Banqiao Nature Reserve, the largest primeval forest in southeast Anhui. It is truly one of the most alluring self-drive routes in the Jiangnan region.
