The first snow in Yunnan province's Dechen Tibet autonomous prefecture covers the highway linking Shangri-La with Yading of Daocheng county, Sichuan province. The road, which is under construction, averages more than 3,200 meters above sea level. Expected to open by the end of this year, it will shorten the drive from more than seven hours to about four and a half hours. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
