Hold onto your steering wheels! A jaw-dropping section of Shanxi Province’s Taihang No. 1 Tourist Highway is going viral for its gravity-defying design. Stretching 2.5 kilometers through Huguan County, this road isn’t for the faint-hearted—it packs 14 hairpin turns and two sharp 120-degree bends, all while climbing 120 meters in elevation. 🏔️
Dubbed a 'mountain serpent' by locals, the winding asphalt ribbon cuts through emerald-green peaks like something out of a racing video game. The road’s 7.5-10.5 meter width offers just enough space for drivers to navigate its twists, making it a magnet for adventure seekers and Instagram photographers alike. 📸
Located in the Taihang Mountains—a region famed for its dramatic landscapes—this route blends natural beauty with engineering grit. Pro tip: Visit during sunrise when fog clings to the valleys, turning the drive into a real-life Initial D moment (minus the drifting, please!). 🌄
Whether you’re a road-trip enthusiast or just love epic geo-tags, add this to your China travel bucket list. 🗺️✨
