We hit G219 — the "Road of the Brave".
The altitude jumped from 1,300m to 3,000m in no time.
By 4,800m, in the middle of nowhere — boom, a tire blew.

This road shouldn't even exist. Buried in snow half the year, yet now open year-round.

The mountains didn't change. People did. They built it, they keep it alive.

70 years of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region — G219 isn't just a drive.
It's a journey through endurance, unity, and strength.
