This 4523m high road pass lies on the main route between Chengdu and Siguniang Shan, between Wolong and Rilong. The road has been under almost continual repair and improvement for some time and was closed to all or some traffic for all or some hours of the day for much of 2007. Before the 12th May 2008 earthquake the road had been mostly regraded and was passable with care in almost any vehicle. Drainage and barrier work was still ongoing with much of the road unsurfaced. Some new bridges and tunnels were incomplete, with the original unimproved road being used as an alternative.

At the time of writing (August 2008) the road is still closed and impassible following the earthquake. Repair efforts are underway, but for the foreseeable future traffic is being diverted via Ya'an and Jiajin Shan

The road is regularly closed during Winter and bad weather. Alternative routes run via Ya'an and Jiajin Shan (also a high pass and in poor condition), or the much longer but lower and better maintained Wenchuan / Ma'erkang route. The public buses from Chengdu to Xiaojin take the Ma'erkang route in winter.

The road is now open again, although only for small vehicles (less than 8 seats). Busses are still going the long way around.

was closed in Aprik (for foreigners) in WoLong. Sneaked through tough and no issues with 4wd, except a couple of road construction places that could be no-go for 2wd. There were cars coming through tough...

Whenever Bridal DressI am Modest Bridal Gownstalking to couples about beach weddings I always tell them that they don't Modest Bridal Gowns have to Bridal Dress 2011 stress the little decoration details. It's not like a traditional wedding at home where you are trying to make a ceremony area Beach Bridal Dress look great, most spots for destination weddins are naturally beautiful. It's the scenery that Plus Size Bridal Dress everyone always remembers...and Beach Bridal Gowns that's free.However, you do need some things like chairs for guests and many couples choose to mark Plus Size Bridal Gowns the aisle and/or have something Simple Bridal Gowns where the Sexy Bridal Gowns couple and officiant are standing. There are all kinds of options out there, and Short Bridal Gowns several of them were pointed out to me during my recent visit to the Occidental Grand resort in Aruba. Aruba Simple Bridal Dress weddings on the Vintage Bridal Dress beach are certainly blessed with natural beauty, but the staff at the Occidental are experts at adding to it to create a really unique package.Canopies are always a popular choice. They are usually fairly simple, with some flowers or fabric. The key is to have something that adds to the scenery, versus overpowering it.This one to the left is unique because it incorporates a wooden floor (keep you from tripping in the sand - which makes for funny wedding out-take photos...)Here is a great example of a canopythat uses a lot of Designer Bridal Dress flowers. It's a great way to "frame" the couple, but it doesn'tcompletely take away from the greatview of the water in the background.What about pillars? I have to admit, when the staff at the Occidental Grand mentioned Casual Bridal Dress that these are popular for Aruba weddings I was curious how they would look. After seeing them I have to say that they are a really unique way to enhance the beach for the ceremony.Again, I'm a purist - I say that all I really need is a beautiful beach, and Occidental has an incredible stretch of paradise Classic Bridal Dress on Palm Beach. But if you are looking to add Casual Bridal Gowns to the scenery then there are definitely some great options here. Just another reason why we love helping Classic Bridal Gowns our couples plan weddings at the Occidental Grand in Aruba.
