The most unique county town in China: built on the edge of a cliff at an altitude of 3 kilometers, or the only way to go through the Sichuan-Tibet line

With the development of the economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, after the basic material needs are met, people begin to pursue higher-level spiritual and cultural needs. Traveling can not only relax the body and mind, relieve stress, but also broaden horizons, increase knowledge, and enrich people's spiritual and cultural world. Therefore, travel has been loved by people who love it, and it has become one of the most popular leisure and entertainment methods. Today I want to tell you about this place, I don’t know if you have been there.

Sichuan, a province and city with a long history in the inland region of southwest China. Sichuan is greatly influenced by the Han culture, so there are many historical sites, such as Leshan and Dujiangyan, which are well-known tourist attractions. At the same time, because Sichuan is located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the height difference is huge, so it eventually formed a complex and diverse terrain.

The city we are going to talk about today is also located in Sichuan. The most surprising thing is that this city is built on the edge of a cliff. This city is Yajiang County. Because it fell on the edge of the cliff first, it is called the Cliff River City.

The entire county is surrounded by the rushing Yalong River and the steep cliffs. If you take a step back, you may fall into the rapids of the Yalong River. Because it is located in the valley lowland with a total area of ​​0.5 square kilometers, the area of ​​the entire county can be said to be very small. It is precisely because the flat area is too small that most of the houses in the county are built on the edge of a cliff with a drop of more than 3,000 meters.

Most of the houses in the land are built on the edge of the cliff, which is what we call "River View House". Through the window, you can see the abyss and the turbulent Yalong River. The scenery is beautiful, but also awe-inspiring.

There must be many people in Sichuan who have been there, but who has been to this city? Welcome friends who have been there to leave a message in the comment area to tell everyone what it is like to be here.
