Self-Driving Tour along The Burma Road and Stilwell Road from Baoshan to Tengchong

Travel along the Burma Road from Baoshan to Tengchong

“Stilwell Road”, formerly known as Ledo Road, is the road from Ledo in northeast India to Kunming in Yunnan,which is built after the Chinese armies’ great counterattack succeeded in northern Burma and western Yunnan in 1994. And it transported more than 50,000 tons of urgently needed materials to the Chinese anti-Japanese battlefield in a forest of guns and a hail of bullets, so it’s also known as ” the Anti Japanese lifeline”. To commemorate American General Joseph·S· Stilwell, Chiang Kai-shek renamed it the Stilwell Road (史迪威公路).

It is from the Northeast India border—“Ledo town”to Myitkyina in Burma(缅甸密支那)，and then it’s divided into North and south two line. The south line passes Bhamo(八莫) and Namhkam(南坎) of Burma to Wantding(畹町) of China. The north line passes Burma and goes through the China monkey bridge port, Tengchong and ends in Longling. Both lines are eventually connected to the Burma Road.
