Cliff Village Travel Guide 1. Introduction to Cliff Village Atulie'er Village, also known as "Cliff Village", is located in Zhaojue County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The village is situated on a cliff at an altitude of over 1,400 meters, with a vertical height of 800 meters from the ground. Villagers used to rely on 17 dangerous rattan ladders to get in and out, but the government has now built a 2,556-step steel ladder. Construction began in August 2016 and was completed in November. The completion of the steel ladder has allowed the connection of the national power grid, telecommunications signals, and running water to the village at the top of the cliff. 2. Travel Route From Xichang, the whole journey is about 150 kilometers. - First, take a section of provincial highway winding up the mountain, with a winding road that tests driving skills. - Then take the national highway, which is in slightly better condition. - Then take the provincial highway again. After Zhaojue, the road conditions are extremely poor, with bad roads and low-chassis cars having difficulty passing. The latter section of the provincial highway is narrow and has many cars. During the day, there are many large trucks and passenger buses to Leibo, making it difficult to overtake. - Construction at the junction of the national highway and the second section of the provincial highway, with traffic released after 12:00. One way takes about 5 hours, with a wait of about 50 minutes. 3. Hiking Experience - The climb requires the use of both hands and feet, and it takes about 3 hours to get to the top.
