Lingpaishi Road, also known as Wuxi’s Token Stone Road, is one of China’s most dangerous-looking roads, featuring 18 sharp hairpin turns along a steep mountainside in Wuxi County.
The narrow 3.7-kilometre road connectsthe small Tian Ping Community to the outside world, with its steepest slopes reaching a 36 per cent gradient. Drivers must move slowly and carefully, especially on the 453-metre zigzag section where turning back is nearly impossible.
Built in 2012 and paved in 2019, the road is closed to trucks, buses and large caravans because of its tight curves and limited space.
Officials recommend navigating the steep section only in first gear.
