The Tuen Mun Road is one of Hong Kong's oldest major motorways, and runs from Tuen Mun to Tsuen Wan. Hazards such as narrow carriageways and blind spots are more frequent than on modern motorways - it was built in 1977 - and this combined with the heavy traffic often results in accidents.
This, at least, is the most widely accepted version of how the Tuen Mun Road gained its notorious reputation. However, hundreds of locals claim to have seen ghosts literally popping up out of the road in front of their cars, causing them to swerve aside in an effort to avoid a collision with what they at first take to be a human being. This, of course, results in genuine collisions with other, perfectly solid cars.
Tourists have been known to independently affirm the road's haunted status, and the only explanation offered seems to be that the spectres are those of past crash victims.
It may be worth checking the terms of your car insurance before making the trip...

A fascinating trek, with the grandeur of China at your feet. Stepping out across the peaceful semi-ruin of a section of the Great Wall is not only a chance to experience a remarkable piece of engineering but like walking in the footsteps of the past.
