Baldwin Street - The Steepest Street in the World

Dunedin's Baldwin Street is a very magical street, and here's a visual sense of wrongness. It looks like a downhill road, but it’s amazing that cars parked there automatically uphill, so it’s attracting many tourists to drive to experience this unusual road.

Baldwin Street is located in Dunedin, New Zealand's South Island, named after Otago councillor and newspaper founder William Baldwin. The street is certified by Guinness World Records as the world's steepest street. The total length is 350 meters, and the steepest slope is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%), that is, every time you walk 2.86 meters, the height will increase by 1 meter. Looking at the distance, it doesn't feel steep, and it's a bit difficult to walk, especially when you see the car climbing, as an old driver is pinching sweat for them. The lower part of the street is asphalt road, above is cement road, because the hot summer weather will cause the asphalt to flow out, not conducive to people and cars. In fact, there are some streets in New Zealand as steep as Baldwin Street, the terrain is created.

A strange place, the slope of the road is super high, the general car does not dare to climb the slope to drive up, for fear of driving halfway to break anchor. There are sidewalks on both sides of the road, but everyone prefers to walk on the road because the slope is too big and there are almost no cars on the road. People from the bottom to the top is a more difficult thing, generally halfway to the breath, finally to the highest point, back to the starting point, feel that it is already at the foot of the mountain, really interesting.

This street is really shaking, and it is also a unique terrain in New Zealand. It is a quite good movement to climb this way every day.

I like Danidine very much. The street is characterized by the steepest slope in the world, close to 90 degrees. The car drives up and down. It feels thrilling.

Baldwin Street is known as the steepest street in the world, and it is really steep after coming to the scene, but if it is the steepest, I don't think it is necessarily. But even so, there are still many tourists to take pictures, the slope is difficult to take pictures, but you can take the street, the house is crooked. You can walk up and down, then drive up and down, you can also experience a slope, but you must do it with certainty. There are residents living on this street, don't disturb people.
