Driving through Panlong Ancient Road, life will be on a whole new level! The super stunning "Z-shaped bend" road in Xinjiang

💨 Today I’ve passed all the twists and turns, and from now on, life is all smooth sailing!
This sentence really hits the heart~❤️

📝 How powerful are words? When you’re driving on the coolest mountain road in Xinjiang, every bend seems to say: "Keep going, after this turn, it’s all smooth road ahead!" The road sign on this section of Panlong Ancient Road is like a soul-boosting tonic for self-driving travelers~💪

📍Location: Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang

✨Must-visit spots:
✅ Big Panlong: large bends but not too dense
✅ Small Panlong: bends so dense they form "hairpin turns"
A total of 36 kilometers with 608 bends! Altitude over 4100m, maximum elevation difference over 1000m. Truly a heavenly road experience~🏔️

📸Photo tips:
✔️Shoot the winding road from the foot of the snow-capped mountains
✔️Capture the moment vehicles pass through the Z-shaped bends
✔️Find a high vantage point for a more breathtaking panoramic shot

🚗Self-driving tips:
1️⃣ It’s best to drive an off-road vehicle with enough power
2️⃣ Bring oxygen bottles, be cautious of the high altitude
3️⃣ The whole trip takes about 2-3 hours, drive slowly for safety

✨Every turn is a heartbeat experience, every meter climbed is a challenge to yourself. You’ll really regret not trying this self-driving route!💕
