Would You Drive Along These Dangerous Roads?
Sichuan-Tibet Highway – China
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway is another one of those roads that will take you up ridiculously high mountains. Many of these mountains are around 13,000 feet in height. That suggests the amount of oxygen available at these heights is about half as much as you’d get at a normal level closer to the sea.
People who travel along this winding road need to battle bad infrastructure, lack of oxygen, and cold climates. You might want to give it a miss or leave it to a more seasoned driver.
