VISITORS TUNE IN TO MELODY ROAD

Scenic stretch of highway boosts Inner Mongolia's tourism

When a visitor surnamed Zhang, from Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning province, took her family for a drive on a stretch of highway in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, her car's tires began to hum a melody of the grasslands.

"It was so much fun!" she recalled. "I had seen videos online, but experiencing it in person was completely different. The tires rolling over the road created this beautiful tune, and my first reaction was, 'Whoa, it really works!'"
