Intersections and waysides
Quanshuigou (泉水沟) – highway wayside
Tielongtan (T’ieh-lung-t’an; ) – intersection with road to Wenquan
Chalukou (岔路口; Fork) – Intersection of road to Tianwendian, Heweitan, and G219. It is possibly also a geology camp supporting nearby prospecting operations.
On some maps, the road intersections in the region are also referred to with the simple named "(blank)岔口" where "(blank)" is the Chinese initial of the destination, and 岔口 simply means "road fork". For example, 天岔口, 河岔口, and 空岔口 for the road forks to Tianwendian, Heweinan, and Kongka Pass respectively.
