Welcome to China but this one is in a remote mountain area in west Sichuan province so it is unlikely to get to this place if you only stay for a couple of weeks. I believe the purpose of this road is to enable poorer people in that area to access the outside world.

the road is to connect the poorest backcountry to the rest of China.
