Guoliang Tunnel – Guoliang, China

Guoliang Tunnel in Henan Province-China was no exception because Chinese people are always different in scale of architectural project. The Guoliang village is located in a mountainous area of the Taihang Mountains, situated in Huisxian, Xinxiang, Henan Province of China. Unfortunately, these road photos are often misidentified as a photo 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.

This is the famous guilong tunnel in Hunan province, China, connecting to the more than 600-year-old Guoliang China village, precariously perched on a cliff 200 meters high. Deep in the Taihang Mountains, Henan Province, China, Guoliang is a village built of stone with less than 300. From a village in danger of being forgotten, Guoliang village has become a tourist attraction thanks to this uneven road. Previously, it was almost isolated from the world because there was no way to enter; only climbing the cliffs was very dangerous and difficult.

The path of death 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 outside civilization. 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 works is without any engineer, but they set about carving a roadway inch by inch, using their handmade tools. Unfortunately, due to inexperience in tunneling and using explosives, five people died during construction. It took them up to 5 years to complete the 1,250m-long Tunnel, 5m high and 4m wide, enough for two cars to avoid each other. However, on May 1, 1977 "Labours Day," the guoliang tunnel road China was officially opened.
