Driving on a remote rural road in Hubei Province, the silence on the road is chilling-4K HDR

This is the most remote rural winding mountain road in Shennongjia Forest District that I found on the map. It is located at the junction of the southern part of Shennongjia Forest District and Xingshan County. Under normal circumstances, mobile navigation will recommend drivers to take another wider and smoother G347 National Highway. Therefore, this road is unusually quiet. In more than two hours of travel, I didn't encounter a passing vehicle. To some extent, this is a blessing, because most sections of this road are less than 3 meters wide. If I really encounter a car, the trouble can be imagined!
As the vehicle continued to climb up the mountain, the road became narrower and quieter, with only the sound of tires crushing fallen leaves echoing in my ears. Driving alone on such a remote mountain road with no mobile phone signal is inevitably uneasy and worried about sudden accidents. Fortunately, in the end, one person and one car arrived at the destination safely.
This journey was quiet and uneasy, but it also gave people a unique experience, as if walking into the deepest part of nature and feeling its mystery and loneliness.
