Cliff road helps villagers cast off poverty in N China's Shanxi

File photo (upper) shows villagers building a road in cliffs of Shenlongwan Village in Changzhi City, north China's Shanxi Province and photo (lower) shows the completed cliff road on June 13, 2018. A 1,526-meter-long road was built along the cliffs to connect isolated Shenlongwan to the outside. The construction of this miraculous road lasted for fifteen years from 1985 to 2000, and was built purely by villagers of Shenlongwan. Thanks to this road, villagers here now cast off poverty by developing tourism. (Xinhua/Cao Yang)
