Located in the terrace of the canyon of Meigu River in southwestern China's Sichuan Province, Atu Le'er is a remote village perched on a cliff. The village is 1,400 meters in elevation and about 800 meters above the ground. A total of 72 households reside in the remote mountainous village. Children have to climb ladders made from rattan to go to school, and young people find it difficult to get married due to the isolation from the outside world.

Villagers have to climb 17 rattan ladders to go outside, and the two 100-meter-long ladders that are nearest to the village are set almost vertically against the cliff. But most dangerous of all are the places where even rattan ladders are not available. [Photo/The Beijing News]

The students are led by one adult villager in the front, one adult in the middle and one at the end (this time Chen Guji). Chen Muhei, the youngest son of Chen Guji, has walked on the road a dozen of times. When the younger Chen climbs a vertical ladder, his father lifts the rope a bit to help the child better climb and catch up with the other children. [Photo/The Beijing News]

A villager stands by the cliff to get a better mobile phone signal. The county talked about building a road in 2004 and 2009, but 50 percent of the money had to be funded by the village. The villagers cannot afford it, thus the road was never built.
