It is a constant pattern of climbs and short flat runs over a distance of about 20 km from Houairou.

With a poor tyre we opted for the less researched lowland route. WeOK I end up taking a route too far South. We take the Sunsha Highway S321 through Xiangtanshan. At a large roundabout at Xiangtanshan turn left North to Xingshou. This is marked the ANSI Highway.
