Inside China's POOREST Cliff Village
In this video, we’re in Liangshan, in southern Sichuan Province. It’s a region largely inhabited by the Yi people and, for a long time, has been one of the poorest areas in China.
We visited a village perched high on a cliff, accessible only by an almost vertical ladder. In the past, schoolchildren had to climb up and down this ladder every day just to get to school.
The hike up was incredibly exhausting and took us at least 2–3 hours. Once we reached the village, we met a lovely local family who welcomed us into their home and showed us what life is like up there.
