Tongtian Avenue, Tianmen Mountain, China
Twists of Tongtian
Hairpin turns, all 99 of them, make driving Tongtian Avenue something of a hair-raising adventure, even for the most experienced motorist. This wildly curvy route is also called the "Avenue Leading to the Sky" and for nearly 11 kilometres it snakes toward the top of Tianmen Mountain in China's Hunan Province. There's an alternate way up, but it's not much better for the faint of heart; what's considered the world's longest high-mountain cable car system ascends over 1,200 metres.

Winding up through the clouds, this route makes for one of the most challenging drives in the world.
