Located on a steep mountain 1,700m high, there is a craggy “hanging cliff” road that challenges all experienced drivers.
Modern life today makes people have a desire to return to nature, to be immersed in a peaceful place with many trees and singing birds. That is the reason that many people choose small villages, rural areas, mountain villages as tourist destinations.
China has a village located in the rugged mountains 1,700 meters above sea level, dubbed the most dangerous village, but still attracts a large number of tourists to visit because of its scenery like a paradise. That is Quach Luong village.
Quach Luong village in Huy district in Xinxiang city (Henan, China), appeared more than 600 years ago. The village is located in the heart of Thai Hanh mountain, at the junction of Son Tay and Ha Nam provinces.
In order to enter this village, one has to climb 720 steep stone steps without a railing, which is likened to a “stairway to heaven”, the surrounding terrain has many mountains and forests covered and embraced to hide the village. Guo Liang is like a treasure.
Quach Luong village has 83 households. The vast majority of villagers have the surname Than. It is known that the Than family was originally an official in Nanjing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. But at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chu Nguyen Chuong exiled his Than family to Qinghai to do hard labor. During the move, the Than family escaped. A small group escaped to Thai Hanh mountain, from there settled and formed Quach Luong village.
Since there are only 350 people in the village, the local government refuses to finance the road construction. Undeterred, 13 villagers used rudimentary tools and explosives to dig a tunnel in the cliffs. This process resulted in 7 deaths. But the rest did not give up, they drilled 12 tons of rock and used up 4,000 hammers.
The tunnel in the cliff was officially opened to traffic in 1977. The road is only about 1.2km long, 4.8m high and 3.9m wide, just enough for 2 cars to move together. There are about 30 holes of different shapes and sizes that allow light to enter the tunnel.
This is one of the 10 steepest roads in the world, compared to the “hanging road” on the cliff, challenging all experienced drivers.
The life of the people here is so simple and idyllic that it escapes from the chaos and modernity out there, possesses the most perfect natural beauty, is not disturbed by the market and noise of the city.
People’s thoughts are equally simple. They are simple, rustic, and somewhat “dumb” because they are separate from the modern world. Receiving the development of tourism, their lives in the village have also been significantly changed.
According to the growing society, Quach Luong village has been discovered, thereby attracting tourists by its primeval ecological environment. And then, Quach Luong village has become one of the most sought-after village tourist attractions in China.
Quach Luong village is most famous for its charming scenery of high mountains, dense green forests, fresh air, waterfalls flowing but not violent. Tourists coming here feel like being patted by mother nature, and their souls are cleansed.
