The Panlong Ancient Road is more than 4,200 meters above sea level, 36 kilometers long with a maximum drop of more than 1,000 meters. It is called “The way to the sky” by local people. The winding of Panlong Ancient Road and the surrounding majestic scenery form a magnificent picture.

The Panlong Ancient Road is called Wugeyati Panshan Highway, with a total investment of 59.5 million yuan. It was put into use in July 2019 to facilitate the travel of farmers and herdsmen in the mountainous area.
