Don't plan to drive on into Tibet from Bingzhongluo
North of Bingzhongluo, Gongshan county
North of Bingzhongluo the road continues as the Bingchacha route, through Chawalong to Zayu in Tibet, and Chinese road-trippers drive it as a back door into Tibet, but foreign passport holders can't. Every visitor from outside China needs a Tibet Travel Permit, which is issued only with a booked tour, and foreign tourists are not allowed to enter Tibet on this road. Treat the Bingzhongluo area as the end of your canyon trip.
What locals saySelf-drivers know Bingchacha as one of the toughest roads into Tibet, still being rebuilt in places; for foreign visitors the trip ends at the Yunnan–Tibet boundary.
