【Chongqing Off-the-Beaten-Path Exploration】Hidden deep in the valley, the Hanging Cliff Road is known as the "Secret Badge" of the self-driving world!

When it comes to Chongqing, the first reaction is usually the "8D Magic City." Today, we want to unlock a secret spot that even many locals have never heard of—the "Hanging Cliff Road" in Wuxi Lanying Grand Canyon. It is not only a challenging route for self-drivers but also a legendary road engraved with a spirit of resilience.
