Men like to conquer. The more challenging they are, the more they want to try and conquer. Roads full of dangers and temptations are places where men who love to drive and adventure want to conquer. For example, the Sichuan-Tibet Line in China is almost one of the must-driving roads for self-driving enthusiasts.
In the world, there are always several extremely dangerous roads, and a large number of conquerors are killed there almost every year. Do you also want to conquer these challenges? Below, let’s take a look at these “closely” roads to heaven.
Taiwan China " Zhongheng Highway "
Zhongheng Highway is the highest altitude highway in Taiwan and is the first highway connecting the east and west in Taiwan. The mountain road is relatively curved, which is very challenging for people with less experience in driving mountain roads. The alpine climate is unstable and has a certain impact on the road conditions. In addition, there will be rocks falling in the canyon occasionally, so please pass it quickly with caution. Overall, this path is a good start for beginners.
Philippines “Halsema”
Philippines’ Halsema highway passes through its Cordillera Central Valley. The road is almost unpaved, crossing steep cliffs, and has no guardrails and safety facilities. The road is full of dangers all year round, especially during the rainy season, with narrow roads and steep cliffs almost impassable. Rockfalls, thick fog, and heavy rain in the valley will catch challengers coming here off guard.
India "Zoji La Pass"
is located in the Zoji La Pass highway in India. It is a total length of 9 kilometers and has an altitude of up to 3528 meters. It is an important channel connecting the valleys of Ladakh and Kashmir. How dangerous is this road? Because it is built near Himalayas , the road is rugged and there are cliffs on one side, the narrowest place is less than 3 meters, which is only enough for one car to pass! Moreover, livestock in nearby villages will also take this road, and cattle and sheep often come to cause trouble to the lane, which is a test of the driver's driving level.
Australia "Eyre Highway"
Australia's Eyre Highway (Eyre Highway), with a total distance of 1,675 kilometers, one of the famous self-driving adventure highways in Australia. The Yael Highway crosses the Narab Plain in Australia. There are many attractions along the way, the scenery is outstanding, and there are no winding and bumpy mountain roads, making it very suitable for self-driving. However, because the straight road is too long, the world's longest straight road section is here, and it is rarely easy to feel visually tired by turning. At this time, Australian animals that rush out from time to time are the biggest trouble for adventurers.
China " Karakoram Highway "
Karakoram Highway, starting from Kashgar, Xinjiang, China in the north and ending in Takot, Pakistan in the south, with a total length of 1032 kilometers. The height of 4693 meters makes it the highest highway in the world. None of them, because it crosses many steep and majestic terrain such as the Kunlun Mountains, the Pamir Plateau, and the Himalayas, it is also known as the highest and most beautiful highway in the world. The section within China is called National Highway 314 (G314), and is a holy place for self-driving enthusiasts to travel west.
France "Passage de gois"
France's Passage du Gois highway connects the Noirmoutier island with the French mainland. This road built on the Atlantic Ocean is a beautiful sea viewing route with a total distance of 4.3 kilometers. However, during high tide, this road will be flooded by sea water and only 2 periods of time can pass through every day. If you haven't calculated the time period for high tide, or enjoy the sea view and forget about the time, you may be washed into the Atlantic Ocean by the tide!
Greece “Patiopoulo Perdikaki”
Patiopoulo Perdikaki is a rugged mountain road located in Greece with a total length of 23.5 kilometers. The mountain road is not only steep and dangerous, but also has no guardrails, and there are very few signs along the road. Due to the lack of maintenance, pits and gravel can be seen everywhere, which always tests the shock absorption and control of vehicles. The narrow roads and the sudden appearance of pedestrians and livestock have increased the risk factor a lot. If you don’t have excellent psychological qualities, don’t try this path.
New Zealand "Skippers Canyon"
This road is located in New Zealand's Skippers Canyon. It was built 140 years ago in the gold rush era. At that time, workers hand-draw a road on cliffs and rocks to enter the canyon to make gold. Because the road is narrow, only one car can pass by. If you encounter a car head-on, there is no other way except to retreat a few kilometers away and drive it. Now there is no gold mine in the Captain's Canyon. Taking this road to experience the thrilling and excitement, and experiencing the historical and cultural experience of gold hunting a hundred years ago along the way is also a good self-driving experience.
China "Tianmenshan Highway"
Zhangjiajie Tianmenshan Panshan Highway , a world-famous extreme curve highway, with a total length of 10.77 kilometers, a total of 99 bends, and 180-degree sharp bends are stacked layer by layer, spread all over it. Its altitude fluctuation varies greatly, from 200 meters to 1300 meters, and is also called " Tongtian Avenue ". Since the opening of traffic, this road has become a holy place for extreme driving enthusiasts. If you are confident in your vehicle performance and driving technology, you must try it in Tianmen Mountain.
Egypt "Luxor al hurghada"
Egypt's Luxor al hurghada connects the ancient city Luxor with a resort by the Red Sea, Hurghada, with a charming desert style. The danger of this road does not come from its terrain, but from the bandits and terrorists who are ambushing in remote and desolate areas along the way! Night is the favorite time for these criminals, so try to avoid driving this road at night.
These 10 dangerous roads are already a very impressive record for ordinary people, even if they have just driven one of them. Of course, at the end, I still need to remind you: Although self-driving is good, safety is the first priority. While paying attention to safety, breaking through yourself and challenging yourself is still one of the greatest joys in life. How many of these "closeest to heaven" roads have you conquered?
