"Seventeen years ago, the Wenchuan Earthquake severely damaged infrastructure in this region. After arduous post-disaster reconstruction, the "Mianmao Road" was initiated in 2009 with multi-party funding to connect Mianzhu City (on the edge of the Sichuan Basin) and Mao County in Aba Prefecture. Due to the treacherous terrain and frequent hazards, the highway became one of Sichuan's most challenging post-disaster transportation projects. After 14 years of construction, the road opened in 2023, ending the historical isolation between Mianzhu and Mao County."
"To commemorate its construction journey, honor the heroic efforts of its builders, and serve local cultural and spiritual needs, the "Mianmao Road" Memorial Exhibition Hall was established."

After arduous post-disaster reconstruction, the Mianmao Road project launched in 2009 with multi-party funding to link Mianzhu City and Mao County in Aba Prefecture. The route crossed treacherous terrain and faced frequent hazards, making it one of Sichuan's most challenging transportation projects. After fourteen years of construction the highway opened in 2023, ending historical isolation between the two areas. A Memorial Exhibition Hall was established to commemorate the construction journey, honor the builders' heroic efforts, and meet local cultural and spiritual needs.
