Imagine driving along a mountain road where one sharp turn follows another, with hundreds of hairpin bends winding through the landscape. A video of this route in China has caught attention online.

Known as the Panlong Ancient Road, or the Wacha Highway, the route is located in Tashkurgan County in China’s Xinjiang region, on the Pamir Plateau. With more than 600 bends, it looks like a giant dragon twisting across the mountains when viewed from above.
