Notes:

During the self-driving process, in the Weinan section. Most of them are plain areas with good road conditions. When passing through Dali, you will pass through many villages and towns, and there is a Dongzao market. Everyone must slow down when driving and pay attention to pedestrians crossing the road in Heyang Qachuan. In this section, the road will be relatively narrow, and it is adjacent to water on both sides, so be extra careful about the price and try not to park on the road.

When passing through the Hancheng section, many roads here are national highways and urban roads. The road is public, with many pedestrians and vehicles, and it is difficult to find the entrance along Huang Road at Yumenkou. The section from Hancheng to Yichuan is in Zhu Jing's Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge. The scenery is good and the roads are mostly close to water. Cliff, you need to be careful.

After passing the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, the road to Qingjian basically leaves the Yellow River. This road is basically a plateau and ravine area with many mountains. The ditch is relatively deep, there are many curves, and the gradient is steep. You must control your speed when driving.

Until Fugu Qiangtou Township, we walk along the Yellow River. The road is quite winding and there are many cliff sections. You should pay attention to the falling rocks on both sides of the road. Try not to stop and pass quickly. If it is a rainy day, be sure to pay attention to whether there are any dangers on the road. Then pass through the section to the north.
