Shenyang Magic Slope (Xinhua)

Top 8: Shenyang Magic Slope（沈阳怪坡）

As we all know, it's always easy to go downhill, but difficult to head up a slope because of gravitation. However, there is one strange slope in Shenyang that will break this concept of nature. The slope is 80 meters in length and 15 meters in width, higher in the east and lower in the west. When a car stops at the foot of the "hill," it will automatically slide upward and can go downward only when you turn on the engine.

This "gravity-defying" slope was uncovered in 1990 by a young policeman and nowadays has become a famous travel spot. The phenomenon remains a mystery though...

Admission: 40 yuan (US$6.54)/ person
