World's Top 5 Most Dangerous Roads (Taiwan has one of them!)

Found this list on a website. But it stupidly put the first first. Which is bad presentation. So I reversed it for you…more climatic that way. Ya know?

#5: Taroko Gorge Road in Taiwan

#4: Russian Siberian Road to Yakutsk

#3: Most Dangerous Tourist Hiking Trail (China)

#2: Guoliang Tunnel in Taihang mountains (China)

Number 1 is in Bolivia:

Man! And I thought the Moki Dugway in Utah was white-knuckle driving:
