Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoxue. We are in Yumuzhai. You may have seen our last video, which was about Sanyang Pass in Yumuzhai. You have already seen that place. It’s really thrilling, but there is an even more thrilling place in Yumuzhai called Liang Ladder. Its level of danger is no less than that of Sanyang Pass; it can be said that it is even worse. Now let’s go and experience this road together.
It's quite easy to walk; it was just repaired. I guess the bright ladder is similar to the Sanyang Pass we went to. They are both at the bottom of the cliff in this village. I guess that road is not much better. This road should be. After walking for a while, it disappeared. When we got here, we saw an uncle doing farm work over there. We just asked him about it, and he said that it is true that there is only such a section of the road to go down from here. This one is as I expected, and it is better than that one. The road to Sanyangguan is even more difficult to walk, and there is no road here.
Look at the dirt roads. Look at the clouds and mist so close to you. Do you feel like there is a sky above this place? Let me show you. When we get to the top, we are walking down from the cliffs. The road is really getting more difficult the further we go down. Just as I expected, it is much more difficult than Sanyang Pass. At Sanyang Pass, there are stone steps at every step of the road, and this one is a rough road. This road is really slippery. I might as well find a bigger stick. Haha, it’s too thick, and I can’t move it. Haha. Haha, ok, this way it will be easier to go.
It rained just now. The ground was all wet, and the grass was also wet. When I got here, there was no way. I should have gone straight down. Oh, it turned out to be us. If you go wrong, there is a stone ladder here. The road is completely covered by weeds, and you can't see it at all. The stone ladder is very small and very slippery. Because of the rain, it became even slipperier. When I walked here, I saw there are two forks. I don't know where to go.
Look at the road conditions and the topography of this road. It goes up. I feel like it's wrong to go up. Let's see if we can get there. I feel like we can go down. I should be more correct. This road is very slippery. Oh my god, look at this road. It is very steep. It is almost perpendicular, about 90 degrees. I think I should buy a pair of non-slip hiking shoes with nails. It's not very wide; with each step, it can only accommodate half a foot, and it's also very slippery.
Look here, it's completely carved out of the stone instead of being built up drop by drop. The road is really too narrow. I can only walk sideways like a crab. Every step is really difficult. Let’s take a look at this ladder. It is built with giant stones. It is artificially built. I don't know how they built this road back then. Each stone ladder is estimated to weigh one to two hundred pounds, which is impossible for one person to move. It's really hard to imagine that this project is very huge.
Let me show you this. It's completely like this. It's a place where even birds can't stand on cliffs. Wow, look here, there's a bright ladder. This is too thrilling. I don't dare to walk on it at all. Wait, let's come up from the bottom and experience this bright ladder again because it goes down. It is indeed dangerous. If you climb up from below, it is safer. In the beginning, they used this step-ladder suspended plank road. Later, they built this road. Although this road is brighter than that one, the ladder is easy to walk, but you can see that the road is not much better.
If you go here, it will be relatively dry because it is blocked by this rock; the rain will not drip down. You see, my 37-yard foot can only step halfway. Oh my God, everything is loose when we step on it. We have now reached the middle of the mountain, and look at the bottom. There are all these grand canyons crisscrossing each other. There is a village opposite us. From here, we can clearly see the village. It is located on the top of a cliff. It seems that few people walk on this section of the road. The area is overgrown with weeds. The road is already covered by these rotten leaves. Why are there still such things on it? It's so rocky. It's so loose. I don't even dare to walk up there.
The bright ladder is right above my head. It's so thrilling. It's really hard. It's really hard to walk. Water is still dripping on this cliff. We’re finally here. Wow, my God, look, it’s really thrilling. It’s completely suspended in the air. Let’s show you this cliff. It’s completely straight. I don’t think a bird can stand on it. Isn’t this a stone ladder? It's very wide. Let's take a look at how wide it is. If it's wide, it's about 20 centimeters. If it's long, it should be about forty or fifty centimeters. It's only half of it. The other half is embedded in this stone.
Wow, my God, every ladder is all staggered like this. Doesn’t it feel very thrilling? Look next to it. There is a cliff. At the bottom of the cliff is an abyss. This should be a reason for artificial excavation. Some are uneven and irregular, some are sloping outwards, and some are inward. It's upturned. Let's take a look at the chiseling on the stone wall. There are some marks. It's like this. It can be climbed with both hands and feet. Oh my god, it's slanted. I'm really afraid of slipping. It's very dangerous. I feel it's really scary.
Above my head is the sky, and below is the valley so deep that I can't see the bottom. And there are clouds and mist accumulating in the middle. It feels like the sky. It's really scary and dangerous for me. I feel like I don’t dare to step hard. I’m afraid I’ll break it, so I have to do it lightly. Finally, when it’s time to climb up, I’m so out of breath that I don’t even dare to breathe. This is a turning point. Look at how suspended it is. Walking up here is the connection we just walked on. The part that goes down.
I finally got here, and my hanging heart fell to the ground. The clouds and mist below were rising all the time, so I couldn’t see very clearly. It was always shrouded. After experiencing this section of the suspended plank road, I really can’t express myself in words. The mood I feel at this moment is that this is definitely the most dangerous suspended plank road I have ever walked on. It is really hard to imagine how people built it back then.
Well, I will share it here today. See you next time. Goodbye. For more wonderful travel videos, welcome to follow @青云 Trace.
