    ⏺ INTRO OF CHINA HIGHWAY G219
    Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, traditionally refers to National Highway 219 (while the central section of National Highway 216 is called the second line of Xinjiang-Tibet Highway), it starts from the zero-kilometer stele in Yecheng County, Kashgar, Xinjiang in the north, and ends in Lazi County, Shigatse, Tibet in the south. The 2,140-kilometer stele in Wuxiang is where the China-Nepal Highway section of National Highway 318 intersects, also known as Yela Highway. You can go to Lhasa instead of going from Urumqi to Lhasa, which is an important route to Tibet.
    The average altitude of this highway is more than 4500 meters, and the annual average temperature is -9°C. Along the way, there are 5 mountains above 5,000 meters, 16 icebergs (or mountain passes), and 44 glaciers. It is the highest difficult road in the world, and some sections are dangerous.
    The desolate area of this road is long: there are only 3 villages and 1 town in the Xinjiang section, and there are hundreds of miles of uninhabited land after that, and few villages and towns in the Ngari area of the Tibet section. The distance between Yecheng and Shiquanhe Town is more than 1,000 kilometers. For a long time, only the plateau motor soldiers guarding the border pass here, or a few truck drivers, now some tourists begin to appear.
    On October 5, 1957, the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway (from Yecheng, Xinjiang to Ngari, Tibet) was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 1,179 kilometers. From 1956 to 1957, a simple gravel road was built, the narrowest point was only 2.5 meters, and it was expanded in the next few decades. Before 2013, it was very dangerous: long uninhabited land, mudslides, landslides, and heavy snow barriers. Later, it was rebuilt and built into an asphalt road. The Xinjiang section still needs to be improved. Damaged roads and difficult sections are concentrated in the 360 kilometers from Yecheng to the Sanshili barracks. There are still problems such as mudslides and landslides in the three Daban (high mountain passes) in Xinjiang.
    Xinjiang entering Tibet, starting from Yecheng at an altitude of 1,365 meters, and reaching an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters. The oxygen became thinner, and some people had a strong altitude reaction. The armed police on the Xinjiang-Tibet highway rescued thousands of tourists.
    Since 2013, it has been an asphalt road, and the number of tourists has decreased significantly, and most of them have turned to other deserted roads along the Xinjiang-Tibet lines.

    Although I do not understand, read, or write Chinese, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. In particular I enjoyed the high and steep mountains. To me, the view was absolutely spectacular and thrilling.

    The road reaches a high pass at 4969m, incredible altitudes for us here in Europe, it's higher than Mont Blanc Peak! I see however that a tunnel under the pass is under construction. What are they building on in the pass area? A restaurant or something else? Must be really hard to work there so high in the mountains, the highest altitude I ever reached was 4160m, and breathing was already difficult. How do you cope with such altitudes? Thanks a lot for the video, greetings from a road-tripper from Germany!

    Unfortunately this is currently not possible without a 24/7 guide and heavy and expensive restrictions in regards to travel itinerary, route planning and interpretations
    Perhaps in the future this beautiful region of the world will be a little more accessible to the adventurous among us

      It seems that you do not understand the grading system of roads in China, which divides roads into G (country), S (province), X (county), and V (village) by region.
      The road quality is divided into high speed (HF), I, II, III, IV.
      So this is a G (country) 219 road, Class II.

    its not about the money... and to be mocked by people who have a job to do and goes back to transmitting and exploiting propaganda and in their head its okay. it's just like eating cake.. then relying on a parent who has to work so much to keep the people who create problem worse rich. I knew some thing was fucked and I was running my mouth, but I think people in agencies who have a trust and should behold value actually do like to sit back and watch the sickness transpire... They seem happy to drive me to the brink and stole my hope and tried to just use my horrible misery to benefit them when already, I've been fucked by everyone in my life who aren't dead. America and Christ were the only thing I had and that to are gone!!! The US is the most evil thing i can think of right now. Ill never have a family because ill lose my mind just thinking about what it takes to mentally have that opportunity.

    1 incredible Valley you drove thru. Steep jagged mountains, earthquake country, live in Calif. Talk about no traffic, no Gas stations, not a good place to break down.
