February 8, 2026

This image clearly illustrates the winding road that ascends steeply from the mountain base to the higher peak, featuring a total of 99 continuous bends, which include several 180-degree hairpin turns.

The Tianmen Mountain Winding Road Referred to as the Number One Wonder Road in the World this route, exceeding 10 kilometers in length, ascends sharply from an elevation of 200 meters to 1,300 meters above sea level. It features 99 uninterrupted curves.

Note: I snapped these photos while we were riding the Tianmen Mountain cable car to the top which gives access to some amazing high-altitude views. It was raining at that time which made these photos a little blurry. It was hazy and the temperature dropped below 3°C you could see the clouds from the mountain peaks were really misty and foggy.
