Adjusting to the heights now and looking for a nice road to take..tips are more then welcome!

Some ongoing questions:
what great not too be missed scenic roads am i missing?
I read there are some serious road works in Sichuan...what to avoid?
Hey, sorry I'm late to jump in here but looks like you figured it out perfectly.
Also looks like June is a good time for the roads north of Deqen to Litang (via Xiangcheng).
My crossing earlier this year was full of snow and icy roads, particularly over each of the peak passes around 5000m and the higher plateau just north of Xiangcheng. Glad you found safe roads!

Great ride RR so far. Great pics. Keep it coming!


Thanks - ride safe.
