Cliff Village, formerly known as "Atulier Village", is located in Zhiermo Township, Zhaojue County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. When the villagers go to the outside world, they need to climb a cliff with a drop of 800 meters and go over a 13-level 218-step rattan (steel) ladder. Historically, due to very complicated reasons, some tribes found land on the cliff, with water, grass, land, and living conditions, and mountain climbing was a no-brainer for them, so they moved their families to the mid-mountain slope. Live here, and generations will live in the mountains endlessly. The mountain village does not look high, but the terrain is dangerous. The villagers have to climb and hang when they travel to and from the village. Among them, there are 13 cliffs, and the climbing all rely on vine ladders. In some scary sections, the place where you can get down is less than the size of the palm of your hand. There are canyons, caves, hot springs, virgin forests and other tourism resources in the village. After development, entertainment facilities have been added, and a resort villa has been built on the top of the mountain. Whether it is the decoration style or the supporting facilities in the hotel, they are all very modern and the equipment is also very modern. Very complete.
The poorest village in Daliang Mountain - the cliff village on the top of the mountain is rare There are dozens of families living in the mountains, most of them have been moved to the mountains before fleeing war and have been living a life of escape from the world. They have not experienced feudal society, and they have directly transitioned from slave society to modern society. The last place in China to abolish slavery.

Cliff Village is located on the edge of the S307 Provincial Road from Zhaojue County to Leibo County, 63 kilometers away from Zhaojue County. There are three groups in the entire cliff village, one group is under the mountain, the second group is more than 1400 meters above sea level, and the third group is more than 1600 meters above sea level. The steep roads of the 2~ 3 groups are erected with steel pipe steps, and the slightly flat place is the dirt road. Although the road up is difficult, the scenery is beautiful. Unfortunately, many water bottles are thrown at will when there are many trash cans next to the steps, and no one cleans them. There are more than 20 villagers living on the cliff, with canteens, snack bars, and accommodation, but the accommodation conditions are not very good.
