A few kilometres on the switchbacks to the beautiful pass.
These few kilometres, despite climbing to around 4300 metres, are the easiest of the Batang-Baiyu ride - gentle grade, decent surface for the most part.
Prayer flag zone at the top littered with broken beer bottles.
Eagles soar under and over the pass.
Butt-crunching, bike-bashing descent on icy, melt-water-rutted road.
Hit the Ganzi - Baiyu highway for the last 15 km - it's sealed!
Mostly.
