There are many most beautiful roads in China. One of them is the Yunnan-Tibet Highway, which is a paradise on earth after arriving at the destination; there is an endless grassland highway. But have you ever seen a car driving on the water? Today, I will uncover the mystery of the most beautiful water road in China. In fact, it is the Yongwu road in Jiangxi Province. The two ends of the highway connect two different worlds. One end is Yongxiu County, known as the Little Jiuzhaigou. At the other end is Wucheng Town, the “kingdom of rare birds” with a history of over a thousand years, passing by the famous Poyang Lake Migratory Bird Reserve.
Water in Poyang Lake begins to rise up with the arrival of the rainy season, which is part of the Yongwu Road. Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China, and the lake is located in the Poyang Lake National Park in the province of Jiangxi, in the southeast of China. It is also the world’s largest lake in terms of volume. Every year, part of China’s Yongwu Highway, which spans the Poyang Lake, is named the “Most Beautiful Road Under the Water.” The most beautiful section of Yongwu Highway is 5.05 kilometers, which is part of the X219 county road.
Best time to travel:
June and July each year. The water level of Poyang Lake rises. When the water level exceeds 18.67 meters, the Dahuchi pavement of Yongwu Highway will be submerged.
Road safety:
The pavement has a special drainage design, which is specially used to open to traffic during the flood season.
No entry:
When the high tide of Poyang Lake is particularly severe and the water level exceeds 20 meters, the road cannot be opened to traffic, but the boats on the lake can come by and the road becomes a dock.
