The Scariest Road in the World?

Scariest Road in the World

Unlike the Road of Death in the Yungas region of Bolivia, the Guoliang Tunnel Road in China doesn’t claim hundreds of lives per year. This certainly doesn’t mean it’s a safe or easy drive, just that it is so remote that few people travel it.

Part of the reason for the unique openings and uneven walls is that the 3/4 mile long tunnel was actually built by hand in the 1970s to connect the village to the outside world. More fascinating pictures can be found at Dark Roasted Blend

    Yes, quite dangerous, but there are several countries where hard to go or drive through like russia's roads, it's said there are two disasters in Russia: roads and those who do them :)
