The `Eighteen Bends of Tianlu` on National Highway 318 is located on the section of Jianziwan Mountain from Yajiang to Litang 4659 meters because of its high altitude and difficult roads. Jianziwanshan also known as Jianziwanliangzi, Jianziwanshan, belongs to Shaluli Mountain, is located on the west side of Xianggezong Township, Yajiang County, Sichuan Province, and runs from northwest to southeast. It is the watershed between Yalong River and Jizhugou. It is named after crossing its post road and surrounding the mountain into a scissor-like curve. The Tibetan name `Bolang Gong` means the top of a foggy mountain all day long. The relative height is more than one thousand meters, the ridge is more than 4000 meters above sea level, and the main peak wins Ala Cuo. The east slope is densely forested, dominated by spruce, fir, alpine pine, and gravel. It is connected to Kazila Mountain to the west, and pastures extend to Litang in abundance. The Scissor Bend Pass of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is one of the highest mountain passes in the Kham area on National Highway 318. Standing on the observation deck of Jianziwan Mountain, you can overlook the winding mountain at the foot.
