Location

Located in the Kashgar region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in China, the Panlong Ancient Road is not for the faint of heart or anyone prone to motion sickness.

Tucked away in the Pamir Plateau, in the Kunlun Mountains, the winding road is also known as Pamir Plateau Sky road, Pamir´s sky road and Wacha road. It’s 36km long and opened on July 2019 to facilitate the passage through the Pamirs for the region’s mountain farmers and herdsmen. Foreign tourists need to apply for a border pass to Tashkurgan in Kashgar.

At its highest point, the road is 4.269m (14,005ft) on the summit of Wuguliyate Daban. The climb is steep, htting an 11,8% through some of the ramps. The eastern side of the summit is mostly paved and its western side is unpaved. With its breathtaking views and multiple hairpin bends, it’s a driving enthusiast’s dream.
