The Xichang-Shangri-La Expressway began construction in 2013, according to Chengdu Daily. Once completed, the expressway will bring Lugu Lake closer to Chengdu and Xichang, Gansu province. It will take only 2 hours to travel from Xichang to Shangri-La.
The BOT project investment conference was held in Chengdu on Oct 22, 2013. During the conference, plans were made to complete construction of the expressway in five years. Stretching 320 kilometers, the expressway passes across Sichuan province and Yunnan province. Connecting Xichang, Lugu Lake and Shangri-La, the Xichang-Shangri-La Expressway is an important passage for tourists.
