34. The border between Afghanistan and China - a little-used pass at the eastern end of the narrow Wakhan Corridor, a geopolitical relic of the 19th century struggle between the British and Russian empires in Central Asia. It's so remote that the Taliban never even bothered with it. One reason the time change is so great is that all of China is on Beijing time.
