One-day tour to Gulu Village
✅"Ladder Village" on the cliff
The 500-year-old Yi village hangs on a thousand-meter cliff in the Dadu River Canyon. Villagers used to rely on a 3-kilometer mule and horse trail to get in and out, but now it only takes 5 minutes by cable car. However, the original mule and horse trail has been preserved as a hiking route, which is both thrilling and shocking along the way!
