Adventurous roads to make you hit the brakes: OMG

Guoliang Tunnel Road
Where: China
Why it's weird: a mere 4m wide through various tunnels
Risk: tight driving
There’s nothing like a road trip to lift the spirits – beautiful views, restful days, discovering new places. But maybe you’re the sort of strange cookie who finds that a tad boring. You prefer your panoramic views with a few spoons of hair-raising adrenalin.
What makes a road an adventure? Narrow gravel tracks perched precipitously on mountainsides certainly up the ante. As do roads so far away from civilization that taking survival supplies is mandatory. Then there are routes that you must time right, or you’ll wish you’d taken a boat instead.  (Photo & text  Source: redbull.com)
