The Longtangou section of National Highway G318 in Yichang is designed as an overpass structure to overcome the vertical drop of more than 40 meters between the upper and lower sections. With a peak elevation of 1,350 meters, this section is the most dangerous along G318, making it a Class A dangerous road in China.

In recent years, the Longtangou section has become a popular spot along the G318 highway due to its unique overpass design.

The Shanghai-Neramu Highway, also well known as National Highway G318, is one of China's transverse routes on the national road network. It starts from Shanghai and ends at the Youyi Bridge in Tibet, with a total length of 5,476 kilometers.

G318 is the longest national highway in China, passing through Shanghai and seven other provinces: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan and Tibet. The route is known as the "Chinese Scenic Byway.”
