The suspension cable across the Brahmaputra River in Motuo

The suspension cable is currently the only way to enter the county. The steel cable linking the two riverbanks is altogether about 200 meters long and near 100 meters above the river. Flags hang on the cable's two terminals, where lizards and snakes are often found wriggling nearby. The cable is mostly used by local villagers and has become stained in some parts.

The local people usually use a self-made bow-like wood rack to cross over the river. The radian helps them to slide down almost to the other side of the river, but for a small part of the trip near the end, they have to use ropes to pull themselves forward to completely reach the other side to finish their journey.
