Meandering roads are common in Chongqing, a southwestern Chinese city dubbed "mountainous city" for its hilly landscapes. But photos of one particularly twisty road have gone viral, bringing this suburb in Xiushan county into the spotlight after the photos were picked up by Chinese mainstream media.

The 5757-meter-long mountain road boasts a total of 45 turns, with its elevation rising from 625 meters to 1175 meters.

The road is expected to draw swarms of tourists as it leads to the Chuanhegai scenic area.
