About this drive
Experience a 48km winter traversal across the rugged limestone ridges of the Western Hills, Beijing. This 4K POV documentation tracks a non-stop mountain corridor—from Baihutou to Wayao Village—featuring high-altitude viaducts and deep-bore tunnels. The segment follows the technical ascent toward the Huangcaoliang Pass area, navigating the Datai Viaduct System and a chain of infrastructure including the 996m Tianjinguan Tunnel. The route reaches a peak elevation of 1,090m (3,576ft) before descending into the arid, rain-shadow slopes of the northern range.
