Today, the Mazhao section of the Lexi Expressway, which goes deep into the hinterland of Daliangshan Mountain in Sichuan, was officially opened to traffic, ending the history of the three counties of Leibo, Mei Gu, and Zhaojue in Liangshan Prefecture not having access to highways. This road innovatively uses an intelligent “floor heating” system to ensure the smooth flow of winter roads in alpine regions, and also allows local specialty products such as navel oranges and Yi embroidery to go out of the mountains and to the market at an unprecedented speed.
