Curvy road in China
« on: October 21, 2026, 10:19:30 AM »
Just saw this online. Caption read:  Jinzhong, China. Autumn foliage surrounds the Taihang No 1 tourist highway in Taihang Longquan. The route, which passes through six cities in northern China, extends to more than 5,000km (3,000 miles)

Looks like almost no one's on it.

Never seen anything like that.  A bit weird.  Seems it could have been accomplished easier but without a top map hard to say.  Still weird though.

That's the road from a perfect dream :thumb:

Not sure it is the same road, but still fascinatingly tempting to ride

That looks like a Christmas wishbook ad for a Tyco slot car race track!  :thumb:
