Almost overnight, with the forwarding of various social networks such as Moments and short video platforms, a beautiful road became popular on the Internet and became a new Internet celebrity road. Many people can hardly believe their eyes.
I even wonder if it really exists. It is the Panlong Ancient Road in Xinjiang. It is located in Waqia Township, Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County (Taxian County), Kashgar, Xinjiang. The local area is also called Waqia Highway.
This road was newly paved with asphalt in June this year, and it was put into use in July, which greatly facilitates the travel of farmers and herdsmen in the mountainous areas. Couldn't resist taking pictures.
With a total length of 75 kilometers and more than 600 S-curves, many curves of 180 degrees or even 270 degrees challenge the 72 turns of the Nujiang River and the 24 turns of the Qinglong Road on the Burma Road.
The Panlong Ancient Road is like a huge dragon hovering on the Pamir Plateau at about 4,100 meters. The dark asphalt road and the colorful mountains are perfectly combined together with the splendor of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It belongs to the Pamir. According to legend, Xuanzang has also walked through it since then. It is a historical main road that crosses the Kunlun Mountains. Now it has become the "electrocardiogram" in the Kunlun Mountains. There are no nine bends and eighteen bends here, only two left turns and right turns.
Magical, surprising, mysterious, spectacular and stimulating, these more than 600 corners reflect the wisdom, beauty and hard work of the designers and pavers. The old driver sees the ecstasy and wants to start immediately to feel the roar of the car's climbing engine and the thrill of adrenaline rush. Although Meili is driving on a curve, be careful not to look up and play cool and elegant!
Reminder: When taking the Panlong Ancient Road, when the car with automatic transmission is going down a long slope, it should be shifted to a manual low-speed gear to reduce the risk of brake pad burnt and brake failure.
