The most dangerous way to get home | Life in China’s Cliff Village

This is the village of Atuler, known as the Cliff Village of China. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes. You would never think. There is such a creepy village in China. Because it is located in the middle of a mountain pass at an altitude of 1,600 meters. The village is directly under a cliff on three sides. The river is soaring. The houses look like they could fall from the sky at any moment. There is no protection around it. No wonder people gave it the nickname City in the Sky. The only way in or out is this 2,556-step staircase that rattles almost to the wall. The drop of the cliff is 800 meters. The equivalent of a 250-story climb back to the village.
