Down 28 km to the Jinshajiang (upper Yangtze), then the rest of the day upriver, the road cut into the gorge-cliff, sometimes high, high above the river, sometimes coming down almost to meet it.

At Zhu Ba Long there is a wooden hut luguan (accommodation), next to the G318 (Sichuan-Tibet highway, southern branch) bridge across the river to Tibet.

Hard, unsealed riding all day.
