China’s famous cliff village is finally getting a better solution for transportation. Although still primitive, it will at least be safer for the children who climb up and down the wicker ladders to go to school. /China News Photo

Before this July, people living in Atuleer Village of Zhaojue county, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, had to climb 17 rattan ladders if they want to get in and out of their village. /China News Photo

Now it has a steady iron ladder for villagers to use when they climb up and down the famously dangerous cliff, cutting travel time to less than an hour. /China News Photo

Atuleer village is located at the top of a 1,600-meter high mountain near the Miegu River Gorge in Zhaojue county, Sichuan Province, and is home to over 72 families. /China News Photo

The remote village accidentally became an Internet sensation after pictures of villagers climbing ladders on the steep cliff were widely circulated online, prompting local officials to improve the infrastructure. /China News Photo
