The northern section is 360 meters long and 2 meters wide, which is an ecological corridor connecting the seven-hole pontoon bridge and the greenway around Yunnan, with a new lighting and monitoring system, and convenient facilities such as rain shelters, landscape stones, gabion benches and wooden stakes benches set up along the line, which enhance the landscape effect and facilitate the leisure and sightseeing of tourists.
