[English]

Hello everyone, I am Xiaoxue

Today we came to the Cliff Village in Daliangshan, Sichuan

I believe everyone is familiar with this cliff village

It is right behind me

You can see it is very high

It is more than 1,400 meters above the ground

The vertical drop is more than 800 meters

It is not easy to climb up to this cliff village

I have wanted to come here a long time ago

Today I finally came

Come and take a look with me

Coming up

We found a sheep here that has been barking

It can't find its mother

I'm already tired and hot before I reach the ladder

...

There is an introduction to the cliff village here

It was not originally called the cliff village

It's called Atuliel Village

and is also known as Cliff Village by the outside world

At the beginning

they used a ladder from Fujiko

Then in August 2016

they just used this steel ladder

I felt that walking this way

was too strenuous

I was sweating so I took off my clothes

This clothes has become a burden to me

Now we have ascended to a relatively high

section

You can see that this is nearly

nearly 90 degrees vertical

I can't stand up straight anymore

It is said that climbing this

If you climb up

it will take

about two hours if you are fast

If you are slow like me

If you have short legs, it will probably take three or four hours

I forgot to time it just now

It was about 11 o'clock when we came up just now

Let's time it and see how long it takes to climb to the top of the mountain

Let's go

Come here

I have to admire our power grid

Such a steep hillside

Such a high cliff

It's all connected

There is electricity and internet

It's really awesome

Wow

There are sheep raised on this mountainside

I also found the ladder on the mountain

opposite us

But this mountain is different from ours

It is divided into two by the river

Is this also another village?

Walking on this steel pipe still

feels a bit slippery

If it rains

it will be even worse

Like me

I have to walk like this

because it is too strenuous and draining of energy

Although not yet

It seems that I have not walked halfway

Everyone, look at me

It's a straight one

Hey

I'm so tired when I come up empty now

I heard that a long time ago

there were people living on it

The villagers would occasionally go out to the market

to buy some daily necessities

Or buy larger appliances

For example, refrigerators and washing machines

They were all carried up manually

It's hard to imagine how they got up on their backs

Step by step

It's really admirable

We are almost halfway there now

It's really scary to look down from here

Wow, look

There is actually a house on the mountain opposite us

It is a

slope down

We are not afraid that the house will

Are you going to slide down?

There is also a schoolbag here

It is probably too difficult to climb

Then carry such a heavy thing

Throw it here

Let him carry it when he comes down

This is also a good idea

Wow, look at it

This is almost 90 degrees vertical

Wow

Oh my God

I didn’t feel much when I climbed up from the bottom

But

it’s really scary when you look down from the top

It feels like you’re falling at any time

How will I get down later

It’s really easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down

There is a passage that says this

The road to Shu is difficult

The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky

This should be the feeling

I can describe this place

Now I am walking here and looking at this steel ladder

It is all suspended

It is built against this cliff

It was built from the top of the mountain

It really feels like climbing to the sky

There is one here

Observation Deck

But this shelf is a bit sloppy

It feels like a person as big as me

will fall off casually

It's better not to go up

It looks a bit scary

Look at this stone again

This stone seems to be independent

It seems to be ready at any time

It’s like falling into a valley

Oh my God

Finally climbed up

Let's look at the time

It's 1:15 now

It was 10:13 when we came up

It's almost 2 hours

But we haven't reached the cliff village yet

We probably have to walk for a while so we can continue to see it

I feel a little depressed

I thought we were almost there but didn't expect it

There is still a long way to go

Now we feel that we have reached this point

It's on the top of the mountain

It feels like a

isolated from the world

Now we

are on this ladder again

It feels like this is the last stop

...

Once we walk up here

we should be able to reach the cliff village

I found a group of sheep. Is there anyone living here?

Wow, how did this sheep come up?

And how does it go home every day

We can see from this newly built steel ladder

They used to use this old-fashioned rattan ladder

You can see a very crude one

And it does not have such guardrails

We are already walking on this new ladder

It's scary and scary

It's hard to imagine how they walked on this

What's more, there are children.

You can see these more

This is a steel cable

Wow look

We are finally here, let's take a look at the time

It was 11:13 when we came and now it is 13:39

It took about 2 and a half hours

If you walked up in one breath

It should take two hours

Because we were walking while resting

Because it is too laborious

There is a house next to this bamboo forest

You can see that his house is

an adobe house made of mud

His door

is closed tightly, so no one should be inside

There is also a house

with a canteen written on it

Even his door is also closed

There should be no one living here

Let's go down and take a look

There should be no people here now

The villagers here should all

have moved into new houses in the county town

What about the people who come here

Basically they are here for tourism

There are also several companies doing business here

There is a cliff inn here

Is there still a place to stay here haha

There is also a canteen

There seems to be no door

The door is locked

It is said that this village has a history of more than 200 years

At first their ancestors

came here to escape the war

You can see that the land here is relatively flat

The land resources are relatively rich

It can be self-sufficient

In that era of war

This place is definitely isolated from the world

A paradise

Wow, there is also a vegetable field here

This vegetable grows quite well

We can see it all over the mountain

Only this area is full of vegetables

And many of them have been abandoned

It should be

You can see there are still sheep on the mountain

It should be raised by those who raise sheep

Because they go out to the mountains once

Well, it’s not easy

So it’s more convenient to do this

It reduces the labor force that is transported

There is an Internet connection up here

Yes

Then you play with your mobile phone

I don’t use mobile phones or mobile phones

Now here it is

Only this little brother raises sheep here

How old are you

How old are you

I am 18 and 18 years old

How many sheep do you have now

Ten ten

When this sheep grows up, it will be

It will be carried on its back when it grows up

Do you want to sell it

Hmm

Oh

I see there is a refrigerator there, that is yours too

Did it come on the back?

Yes, did it come on the back?

Oh, what about the goat after it has been raised?

Because when we came up,

was it difficult to walk on the steel?

Can it walk?

Or should we carry it down manually? Wow

...

...

...

This is really hard.

You should be living down there.

Yeah, right over there in Zhaojue County.

That means you are herding sheep here. Someone will replace me the day after tomorrow, someone will change my shift

...

...

...

...

...

That's it hahaha

I'm going out oh

Then why don't you go out to work

Yes, I will go out the day after tomorrow oh go out to work

Hmm

Are you bored here alone

It's okay, it's okay

Thank you very much

You can see that the houses here are all made of this kind of

soil. Basically they are made of this kind of soil

Because it should be made from local materials

Only here

can we see so much land

When we came up from the foot of the mountain just now

we found that all the slopes were shaking

There is no flat land without land

As you can imagine

Why did their ancestors come here

I thought the network on the top of the mountain would be poor

I didn't expect it to have a full signal

After playing here for a day, there was no one

and basically no one was seen

They all moved

to new houses in the county town

Well, if you come now,

you can only see some of the environment they used to live in

Let’s share it here today. See you now.

[Chinese]

大家好我是小雪

我們今天來到了四川大涼山懸崖村

相信大家對這個懸崖村已經不陌生了

它就在我的身後

可以看到非常的高

它離地面有1,400多米

垂直落差有800多米

想登上這個懸崖村是非常不容易的

很早以前我就想來了

今天終於來了

走吧跟我一起看一下

上來呢

我們發現這裡有一隻羊一直在叫

它是找不到媽媽了嗎

還沒有走到這個天梯的位置

就已經又累又熱了

這邊有一個懸崖村的簡介

它原本不叫懸崖村

叫做阿土列爾村

是被外界稱為懸崖村的

剛開始的時候

他們是用藤子的一個天梯

然後在2016年8月的時候

在才使用這個鋼製的天梯

我感覺走這個路

太費勁了

身上都出汗了我把這衣服

這衣服已經成了我的累贅

現在我們已經上升了比較

高的一段了

可以看到這個將近

垂直將近90度的這樣子

身體已經不敢站直了

據說爬這個

爬上去的話

快的話要

兩個小時左右

如果像我這種又慢

腿又短的話估計要三四個小時吧

剛才忘記計時了

我們剛才上來的時候大概是11點鐘

我們計個時看一下爬到山頂要多久

走吧

走到這裡啊

不得不佩服咱們的電網

這麼陡峭的山坡

這麼高的懸崖

都給它通了

有電有網

真的是太給力了

哇

在這個半山腰上還養的有羊

我在我們對面那座山上

也發現了那個天梯

但是這個山和我們這座山是不一樣的

是被河流一分為二的

這上面是不是也是另一個村莊呢

走在這個鋼管上面還是

感覺到有點滑了

如果下雨天的話

那就更糟糕了

像我的話

都需要像這樣趴著走了

因為實在是太費勁了太耗體力了

雖然還沒有

走到好像還沒有走到一半

大家看我下面

是一個筆直的

哎

我現在空著上來就已經累的不行了

聽說在很早以前

它上面是有人居住的

他們那些村民偶爾會出去趕集

買些生活用品

或者是買那些比較大的電器

比如說冰箱啊洗衣機啊

他們都是靠人工背上來的

很難讓人想像到他們是怎麼背上來的

一步一步的

真的是太讓人佩服了

我們現在已經差不多走了一半了

從這裡看往下看真的是太恐怖了

哇快看

在我們對面那個山上居然還有房子

它是一個

斜坡下去的

就不怕那個房子會

滑下去嗎

這裡還有一個書包

估計是太難爬了

然後背著那麼重的東西

把它扔在這裡

等他下來的時候再給它背下去

這也是一個好辦法

哇快看了

這個簡直垂直90度

哇

我的天吶

剛才從底下爬上來的時候沒什麼感覺

但是

你從上往下看的時候真的是太恐怖了

就是一個像隨時跌落的感覺

等會我怎麼下去

真的是上山容易下山難

有一段話是怎麼這麼說的

蜀道難難以

蜀道難難於上青天

應該就是這麼個感覺吧

可以形容這裡了

現在走在這裡在看這個鋼梯

它都是懸空的

它是貼著這個崖壁

從這個山頂上建上去的

真的是猶如登天的感覺

這邊有一個

觀景台

但是這個架子搭的些許有些潦草

感覺像我這麼大一個體格就

隨便一下輕鬆一下就掉下去了

還是不要往上面走了

看著就有點嚇人

再看這個石頭

它這個石頭好像是看起來是獨立的

就像是要隨時

跌入山谷一樣

我的天

終於爬上來了

我們看一下時間

現在是1點15分

我們上來的時候是10點13分

剛好差不多2個小時

但是還沒到那個懸崖村

估計還要走一會我們繼續去看一下

我感覺心態有點崩了

本以為快到了沒想到那邊

還有一段路程

現在我們已經感覺走到這個

山頂之上了

給人的感覺就像一個

與世隔絕一樣

現在我們

又走上這個天梯了

感覺這是

最後一站路程了

走上這裡了

就應該可以到那個懸崖村了

發現一群羊這裡面是有人居住嗎

哇這個羊它是怎麼上來的

而且它每天怎麼回家去

我們從這個新修的鋼梯裡面可以看到

他們以前用這個老式的一個藤梯

可以看到很簡陋的一個

並且它是沒有這種護欄的

我們走這個新梯都已經

很可怕很害怕了

很難想到他們是怎麼走這個的

更何況還有小孩子

可以看到還有這些

這個是鋼索

哇快看

我們終於到了我們再看一下這個時間

我們來的時候是11點13分現在是13點39分

大概用了2個半的小時

如果說啊你一口氣走上來的話

應該是用兩個小時

因為我們一邊走一邊歇

因為實在是太費勁了

在這個竹林旁邊有一間房子

可以看到他這個房子都是

用泥土做的土坯房

他這個門

緊閉著應該是沒有人在裡面了

這邊還有一間

上面寫著一個小賣部

就是他的門也是緊閉的

這裡面應該是沒有人居住了吧

我們再到下面去看一下

現在這裡面估計應該沒有什麼人了

這里村民應該都是

搬進縣城裡面的新房子裡面去了

來這裡的人呢

基本上都是來這裡旅遊的

還有幾家都是在這裡面做生意

這裡有個懸崖客棧

這裡還有住的地方嗎哈哈

還有個小賣部

好像也沒有門

門是鎖的

據說這個村莊已經有200多年的歷史了

最開始他們的祖先

是為了躲避戰亂而來到這裡的

可以看到這邊土地是比較平坦的

土資源還是比較豐富啊

可以自給自足

放在那個戰爭的年代

這裡絕對是一個與世隔絕

一個世外桃源

哇在這邊還有一片菜地

這個菜長得還是蠻好的

我們這一片山都可以看到

只有這片是有種滿菜的

然後有好多全部都已經給丟荒了

應該是

可以看到山上還是有羊的

應該是養羊的那些人種的

因為他們出一次山

嗯不容易

所以在這種的話比較方便

減少了那個運上來的勞動力

這上面是有網的哈

對啊哦

那你玩手機嗎

我不玩手機不玩手機

現在這上面呢

只有這個小哥哥在這裡養羊

你多少歲了

你好多歲了

我18歲18歲哦

你現在養了多少隻羊啊

十隻十隻

那這個羊長大了是

長大的時候也是背下去

拿去賣嗎

嗯

哦

我看那有個冰箱那也是你們那個

背上來的嗎

對背上來的

哦那這個山羊它養大了之後

因為我們上來的時候

那個鋼鐵很難走嗎

它能走嗎

還是要是靠人工把它背下去啊

要靠人背下去就是人背著山羊下去嗎

對

哇

這個確實好艱苦啊

你們應該是在下面住了哦

嗯對在昭覺縣那邊哦

就是說你是在這上面放羊嘛

哦好的好的謝謝啊多久才回去啊

我後天就回去了哦

那你的羊呢

也就是不用管他

後天有人來換我了哦有人換班

就這樣哈哈哈

我要出去了啊哦

那你為什麼不出去上班呢

對啊我後天就出去了啊哦出去上班

嗯

一個人在這裡無聊嗎

還行還行

好謝謝

可以看到這裡的房屋都是用這種

土做的基本上都是用這種土做的

因為應該是就地取材的緣故

只有在這裡呢

我們才可以看到這麼多土地

剛才我們從山腳下上來的時候

發現那些坡全部是抖的

沒有一塊平地是沒有土地的

就能想像到

他們祖先為什麼會來到這裡了

還以為這山頂上網絡會差一些

沒想到它是滿格的信號

在這裡玩了一天了也沒有

也基本上沒有看到什麼人

他們都全部搬

到縣城裡面的新房子裡面去了

嗯現在來的話

只能看一些他們曾經居住的這個環境

今天就分享到這裡吧我們現在再見
