Guoliang Tunnel

Guoliang Tunnel in Henan Province, China, was no exception because Chinese people are always different in the scale of architectural projects. The Guoliang village is located in a mountainous area of the Taihang Mountains, in Huisxian, Xinxiang, Henan Province, China. Unfortunately, these road photos are often misidentified as being photos of the "Combe Laval Road | France."

Golian Tunnel, Henan Province, China, is considered one of the world's most dangerous and impressive roads. Carved into the Taihang Mountains, this tunnel road is the only way into the remote Guoliang village.

Guoliang China

The site is the famous Guoliang Tunnel in Hunan province, China, connecting to the more than 600-year-old Guoliang village, which is precariously perched on a cliff 200 metres high. Deep in the Taihang Mountains, Henan Province, China, Guoliang is a village built of stone with fewer than 300. Once a village in danger of being forgotten, Guoliang village has become a tourist attraction thanks to this uneven road. Previously, the only way in was to climb the cliffs, which were dangerous and difficult, leaving the village almost isolated.

Guoliang Tunnel, China

The path of death in China — Before the Guiliang tunnel was constructed, access to the nearby village of Guo liang was restricted to a difficult path carved into the mountainside. The village is surrounded by towering mountains, cut off from the outside world. In 1972, a group of villagers led by Shen Mingxin made plans to carve a road into the side of the Mountain. Thirteen strong village workers began the project. The team of village workers had no engineer, but they set about carving a roadway inch by inch, using their handmade tools. Unfortunately, due to inexperience in tunnelling and using explosives, five people died during construction. It took them up to five years to complete the 1,250 m-long, 5 m high and 4 m wide tunnel, which was wide enough for two cars to avoid each other. However, on May 1, 1977, "Labour Day", the Guoliang Tunnel Road in China was officially opened.
