The most dangerous and extreme roads in the world
Guoliang Tunnel

This spectacular tunnel is one of the few ways to travel to the remote Guoliang village in China's Hunan Province. Chiseled by hand in the 1970s, the Guoliang Tunnel is a road that Mahmassani calls "a sculpture more than a means of transportation." The tunnel passes through a treacherous section of the Taihang Mountains and is lined with makeshift windows that provide scenic but terrifying views.
