Before we counted the 10 most beautiful highways overseas, but the expense of driving abroad is still high after all! Domestic roads are relatively more feasible. Let’s take a closer look at the most beautiful roads in China today!
Hangzhou Bay Sea Cross-Sea Bridge is a sea-sea cross-sea bridge spanning the waters of Hangzhou Bay, China. The bridge has a total investment of 11.8 billion yuan. Construction started on November 14, 2003 and was put into use on May 1, 2008. It is reported that it has become the world's longest cross-sea bridge in the China World Records Association, and is the world's third longest bridge after the Ponchartrene Lake Bridge in the United States and the Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
It starts from Zhengjiatai, Haiyan, Jiaxing, Zhejiang in the north and ends at Cixi Shuilu Bay in Ningbo in the south. The 36-kilometer-long length is 11 kilometers longer than the King Fahd Bridge connecting Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. You can see the scenery of the Hangzhou Bay waters along the route. You can drive on the vast sea with a convertible sports car. I believe it will have a unique flavor.
Duku Highway from Dushanzi to Kuqa was the early form of National Highway 217. It runs across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and has a total length of 561 kilometers. More than half a distance crosses the steep mountains and deep into the canyons, connecting many ethnic minority settlements. Therefore, it was also selected as "the landscape avenue that runs across the backbone of the Tianshan Mountains" by China National Geographic.
Duku Highway has a special terrain, with more than 280 kilometers of road sections above 2,000 meters above sea level, and there are many sharp bends and steep slopes. In order to build this highway, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers fought for 10 years, and 168 road construction officers and soldiers sacrificed their precious lives. Due to natural factors such as snowfall and icing in the mountains of Tianshan Mountain, it is only open for five months in a year. Among them, the closed control will be implemented for up to 7 months from the end of September to May of the following year. Students who want to drive by themselves must pay attention to the time period!
Driving to Tibet has always been a dream in the hearts of many people. Whether there are polluted blue sky and white clouds there is the place closest to heaven. If you want to drive to Tibet, the road to Tibet is definitely your only way. Whether it is Sichuan-Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet or New Tibet, the scenery of the four roads into Tibet is excellent.
Driving on these "sky roads", the beautiful scenery, broad vision, and simple Tibetans will make you linger. Among them, the Sichuan-Tibet Line is a paradise for cyclists. Thousands of people ride to Tibet here every year. It is also the veritable "Chinese Landscape Avenue".
Suhua Highway is a provincial highway on the east coast of Taiwan. As a section of the Provincial Highway Taijiu Line, its starting point in the north is Suao Town, Yilan County, and the end point in the south is Hualien County, Hualien City, and the Linhai Road is 118 kilometers long and is basically built close to the coastline.
Since Suhua Highway is a rambling highway, you can not only see the Pacific Ocean view along the road, but also feel the cliffs and mountains. Therefore, many domestic and foreign cycling enthusiasts will come here to check in. Stop the car on the road and blow the salty sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean. I don’t know what the sea will feel today~
Twenty-four turn is a place name, a section of 24 turn roads. Guizhou Qinglong "24 turn roads" Anti-Japanese War Highway is an image sign of "Stilwell Highway". Brother Yin had the honor to be here before. It was called "Zaguan" in ancient times, which was majestic, strange, dangerous and steep. It had a momentum that one man was at the gate and ten thousand men could not open. The straight line distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is about 350 meters, and the vertical height is about 260 meters. It is built on a slope with an inclination of about 60 degrees along the mountain, winding and hovering to the pass, with a total distance of about 4 kilometers.
Twenty-four Guaipanshan Highways can be regarded as an outstanding example in the history of steep highway construction. As a true portrayal of the history of the people of China and the United States bravely fighting against the Japanese invaders, the only land transportation line behind the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan and the artery of international aid to China, it is known as the "lifeline of China's War of Resistance Against Japan" and is also known as the "curve of history."When driving here, you can not only see the green in your eyes, but also feel the revolutionary atmosphere of red. It is truly a killing two birds with one stone.
China has a huge land area and has various landforms. In addition to flat land, plateau, and canyon, deserts are also indispensable. In the Tarim Desert, which is covered with sand and sand, there is such a road that has always stood here. It travels through the vast Xinjiang, where you can not only see the golden desert scenery, but also see the poplar forests .
This desert highway runs through the Taklamakan Desert, known as the "Sea of Death". For tourists who are eager to cross the desert, Tarim Desert Highway undoubtedly provides the best environment. However, it will take about 5 hours to drive through the entire desert, so you must prepare sufficient water and pay attention to safety!
Zhangjiajie Tianmenshan Panshan Highway is known as the "Tiantian Avenue". The road is 10.77 kilometers long, and there is a drop of 1,200 meters from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. The cliffs on both sides of the highway are thousands of feet high and deep in the valley. The entire road has a total of 99 bends. The 180-degree turn is sharply bent one after another, and is known as the "No. 1 highway wonder in the world."
Tianmenshan Panshan Highway is like a long ribbon buckle on the mountain, which can definitely be called "eighteen bends of the mountain road". In addition, Tianmen Mountain is also a well-known scenic spot in our country. If you can drive on this highway, the beautiful natural landscape will never disappoint you. But in the face of so many hairpin bends, don’t take the risk of trying to “catch shrimps”!
located in the boundary of Hunan Xiangxi , the largest suspension bridge in the world, is the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is about 20 kilometers away from the city of Jishou and crosses the entire Aizhai Grand Canyon. The clear river flows through the valley bottom, and fog often covers the bridge. Driving in such a beautiful scenery is simply a fairyland on earth.
To ensure the strength of the bridge, the designer used it with unique technologies and materials that other suspension bridges have never used. Because it is built in a very steep canyon, its bridge deck and ground height difference reaches 330 meters, and its total length reaches 1,073.65 meters. Such data has also successfully made it the third largest super-long suspension bridge in the world and the first largest in Asia.
Hangbang highway is excavated on cliffs. There are a total of six suchHangbang highways in my country, mainly distributed in the Taihang Mountains and southeastern Shanxi. Among them, the Guoliang Highway, built in 1972, is called the "Ninth Miracle". This road was completed independently by the villagers of Guoliang Village in five and a half years. Among them, the thirteen villagers who were mainly responsible for the excavation were called the "thirteen heroes" of Guoliang Cave.
Originally, this road was to solve the problem of a way out in the village, but unexpectedly it became an excellent tourism resource, and the scenery was amazing and shocking. Driving on this highway, you can feel the feeling of walking on the abyss. This exciting experience also makes it popular by many tourists. Guoliang Village has now become the number one scenic spot in Wanxian Mountain, Huixian County, Henan Province, a national 4A-level scenic spot. This road is also known as "the ten most dangerous roads in the world" and "the most peculiarest highways in the world".
Ancient poem once said: "The road to Shu is difficult, it is more difficult than climbing to the blue sky." In ancient times, there were no advanced road construction tools, and it was all built by manual! It can be seen how difficult it is. The Aizhai Panshan Highway, which is also a Shu Road, is a wonder of the road on the main line of National Highway 319 (formerly known as Xiangchuan Highway). From bottom to top, we reach the top of the slope through 13 bends. There is a highway overpass near the top of the slope. The steep and steep mountain is rare in the country.
Nowadays, the Aizhai Panshan Highway has become a unique scenic spot in the Sichuan-Hunan region, but the difficulty of building this road back then was far higher than people imagined. The Sichuan-Hunan region is mostly high and very steep. If you drive down the mountain from this road, it must be very thrilling!
