The ordinary vehicles are able to pass on the section at Mount Balangshan and Four Girls Mountains. Only the small vehicles are able to pass on the section at Yingxiu, Wolong and Mount Balangshan. The government is planning what put the repair work in complete by this summer. However several tunnels to avoid falling rocks in the section at Yingxiu and Wolong will complete after 3 years. The tunnel under Mount Balangshan is under construction, too. After these tunnels had built, it will take about 4 hours from Chengdu to Four Girls Mountains with the high-performance car. The Remains of the lamasery is under repair for reconstruction. It will take several years by completion. The environmental assessment is continuously implemented about the car road from the Remains of the lamasery to Withered Tree Ford. The investigation is continuously implemented about the ropeway to Guozhuangping Terrace.

New visitors center(Sigunianshan Youren Zhongxin) what was opend a hall at last year-end is well received.
It is located in the eastern coast of the Long Terrace Valley (Changpinggou) where is about 500m from the Long Terrace Bridge (Changpingqiao).
Many geological features, animals, plants and a culture of a minority race are on display in the first floor. And the photos and handwritings are in the second floor. | This center deals in the entry ticket of the Long Terrace Valley, too.
The restoration work is going well almost.
The repair construction of the half of the houses was completed, and another half will complete in this year.
The number of tourist is still few, and
the villager hope that the tourist returns early, their job increase and their income back to the previous level. | The main route from the Chengdu to the Four Girls Mountains is still the Damba. A little track became coming and going through the route at the Wolong and the Balangshan Pass. However, because the road condition is not good yet, most of the vehicles are using a route at the Damba and the Jiajinshan Pass. Almost all the public bus what thinks much of the safety of the passenger is using a Damba route. The new clinic of the Changping Village what was carried over by the adjustment of the reconstruction plan will start and completed in this year. The construction budget of the clinic is about 165,000 RMB. Already a NPO in Japan (Earth Works Society) and the tourist agency at the Chengdu contributed with 70,000 RMB, and a foundation in USA (Unicorn Foundation) decided a contribution with 65,000 RMB. Also, the government gets to aid with about 30,000 RMB. |
