The local cliff top village of southwest Chinese province of Sichuan will turn into a tourism hotspot after the two Chinese companies have announced plans to invest 630 million yuan, or close to 100 million U.S. dollars
The money will reportedly come from a wealth fund belonging to the Sichuan provincial government and a private tourism company, and will be fully in place for the national and international tourists by 2022.
The two tourism companies suggest the money will be used to build a series of luxury and modern facilities including hotels, hot springs and cable ways.
The local villagers of Sichuan, who all belong to China’s Yi ethnic minority, have long relied on a ladder made of vines to climb down an 800-meter-high cliff when they travel in and out of the village.
The local authorities of Sichuan province had considered relocating the whole village. However, the relatively fertile land up the cliff forced authorities to drop the idea due to the barren land in nearby regions.
The visitors have started travelling to the village after local authorities invested 1 million yuan to replace the former vine ladder with a steel one.
Now in this local hamlet of Sichuan province, the Villagers have the access of 4G and WIFI internet services, as well as banking services.
