What a pity....
I did the track in 2011 and was scared by the massive efforts by the Chinese starting construction work along the way.
I did the track in 2014 when parts of the route was finished. All hikers already hat to watch out not to be overrun by locals on their vehicles. Along the way I asked a local why they've cut down the forest in addition to the construction of the road. Well, they've cut down the forest in order to get prepared for "Eco-Tourism", their plan is to plant apple trees instead.
Now 2017 not only locals but all tourists take their vehicles along this narrow valley.
What a pity...
P.S.: But thank you for the images bringing back memories of how nice it was to be left on you own devices, back then...
The image shows the exact location you've placed your motorcycle. This is definitely not a road you want to hike along when there is uncontrolled traffic.
