don't you mean "/lit. winding and circuitous/difficult (idiom)/"? Not windy
---------------------------------

Editor: "Windy" can be pronounced two ways:
1) win-dee
2) wine-dee
The first means "marked by strong wind" while the second means "winding".
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/windy

But of course "winding" is less ambiguous.

I suspect that "difficult" is not a very good definition, so I'm deleting it.
And "circuitous" seems to be the *actual* meaning in most usage, not just the "literal" meaning.

一路黄土漫漫,童山濯濯,道路在山头岭间盘旋曲折,旁边即是万丈坡崖。

冰场上,旗手和射手们间隔排列,盘旋曲折滑行于冰上,远望之,蜿蜒如龙形。

俄贤岭又名俄娘九峰山,由西北向东南盘旋曲折,犹如一巨龙直冲云霄。

从林芝市区出发,沿着盘旋曲折的沿江公路,

在盘旋曲折的山路上,

公路依着山谷,蜿蜒上升,穿过树林,盘旋曲折,像一条深色的带子,缠绕着翡翠般的山峦。
