"A song of blue lotus, traffic jam on 318!" This is not only a popular joke on the Internet, but also a true portrayal of the infinite yearning and love of countless self-driving enthusiasts for National Highway 318. The mountain torrents and mudslides a few days ago caused terrible congestion, and many tourists died. So is it still possible to enter Tibet from 318? Or what should we pay special attention to?

In the early morning of August 3, a sudden mountain torrent and mudslide occurred in Ridi Village, Guza Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, causing the collapse of the bridge between the tunnels of Yakang Expressway, that is, the two main passages of National Highway 318 and Yakang Expressway. As of 10:00 on the 6th, the disaster has caused 12 deaths and 15 people missing. Among them, 11 people in 4 vehicles fell under the bridge (1 person was successfully rescued, 3 people died, and 7 people were missing), 9 people in Ridi Village were killed and 8 people were missing.

Fortunately, after working day and night, the road section now basically has partial traffic conditions. However, the temporary traffic control is definitely not as convenient as normal traffic, and there is a high probability of traffic jams. Therefore, friends who are heading towards Ya'an and entering Tibet via National Highway 318 recently should consider carefully.
