When was the Shibanhe Cliff Road built?

Located in a mountainous region of Guizhou Province, the Shibanhe Cliff Road is excavated on the cliff of Chuangou Dayan. Shibanhe village was linked to the world only with a narrow footpath called "Ladder Rock" until 2000, when the villagers decided to build a road to improve their connectivity with the rest of the world. The small villages that were once isolated from the rest of the world are now famous for their "wall-mounted roads," and tourists also travel there.

How is the Shibanhe Cliff Road?

The road is challenging and scary. It is totally paved with concrete. It’s 470 meters long, running between Chuangou and Yueliangdongcun. It’s 4.5 meters wide and totally impassable to bigger vehicles. The windows carved along the road offer wonderful views.
