Hong La Mountain Pass is the pass with the largest elevation difference on the Yunnan-Tibet Highway. It is located at an altitude of about 4448 meters and is the first high mountain on National Road 214 after entering Tibet. Nearby is the Yunnan Golden Monkey Reserve.

In October, autumn arrives here, and the leaves turn yellow, becoming very bright. However, it is not advisable to stay here for long. Previously, while traveling in the Lancang River Valley, the altitude was only 2500 meters. In just an hour or two, the altitude climbed by 2000 meters. If you get excited and run around when you see the beautiful scenery, it is easy to experience altitude sickness.
