Is the end section of Simaxian Forest Road (23.7k to 30k)open to vehicles and cycles?
The end part of Simaxian Forest Road after the visitor center (23.7k to Beikeng Trail trailhead approximately at the 30k marker) is in poor condition and the road foundation is unstable making is susceptible to collapse after heavy rain. The road foundation has collapsed in many places and road is also narrow, making passing other vehicles difficult. For the sake of visitor safety and to improve eco-tourism quality, this section of road will be mainly for pedestrians, with rescue and official vehicles the only vehicles allowed.
As for cycles, because the weather and road situation in this area are very changeable for the sake of the safety of cyclists they are asked to pay attention to their bike’s condition and wear appropriate protective gear before entering. In the event of bad weather or road collapse the Xuejian Service Station reserves the right to prohibit the entry of cyclists.
