Driving up to the heaven
A trip on Tianmen Mountain Road brings an entirely new meaning to the term "road trip." Tongtian Highway, located at the Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in central China's Hunan province, is a winding mountain road leading to the famous Tianmen Cave on the peak. Measuring more than 10 kilometers in length and 200 meters to 1,200 meters above sea level, the road has 99 sharp turns. It took eight years and about 100 million yuan (U.S.$16.2 million) to construct the road. The Tongtian Highway is known as China's "most spectacular road" for its 99 bends and beautiful scenery along the way.
(I had the good fortune to visit this place in November 2015.)

Tai'erzhuang Ancient Town in China's Shandong
The ancient town of Taierzhuang, located in Zaozhuang city of east China's Shandong province, is surrounded by water and is known for classical bridges, an old canal, wetland parks, temples, museums, and numerous traditional architectural buildings of bygone eras. Located on the bank of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the two-square-kilometer town is the only remaining ancient town which is well preserved. The Zaozhuang municipal government allocated 4.8 billion yuan ($743.52 million) to restore its previous glory back from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).
