"When driving on the Palong Road, you are not allowed to look at the dangerous spots." This section of the Palong Canyon Road, which is only 10 kilometers long, usually takes more than three hours to pass. The Parlung Zangbo River flows through Tongmai, and its intersection with the Brahmaputra River is at the top of the famous horseshoe-shaped bend. At the beginning of 2016, the 102 landslide group of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway 318 and the section from Tongmai to Route 105 were successfully opened to traffic. The section that was once regarded as a "natural danger to Tongmai" was replaced by new roads, bridges and tunnels, and has since become a thoroughfare.

On the left side of the road is a hillside mixed with large and small rocks with loose soil. On the right side is the Lulang River (called La Yuequ in Layue) and Parlong Zangbo. The road is narrow, winding, steep, and half of it is a dirt road. Some cliffs were impassable, so Bailey steel bridges had to be built on the cliffs. In July, August and September, it is extremely dangerous to drive on a rainy night. Therefore, people call this section of the road "Tongmai Natural Danger", which is a bit scary.
