Detailed itinerary

Next, take the battery bus or walking with your guide through the tunnel road which link the Guliangcun village to the outside. Without one electric equipment or large machinery, the villagers carved a 1300-meter-long Guoling Tunnel along the side of and through the mountain. For its steepness, Guoliang Tunnel is called one of the Top Ten Dangerous Roads in the World and one of the Top Eighteen Peculiar Roads in the World.

Afterwards, you will stop at a farmer's home restaurant to enjoy a local lunch.

In the afternoon, explore the Guoliangcun village. Guoliang Village was a tiny Chinese village high in the Taihang Mountains.  Attracted by awe-inspiring scenery, astonishing road, characteristic landform and quaint local customs, over 40 films and teleplays have been shot in Guo Liang Cun Village.

Highlights in Guo Liang Cun:

1: Grand Gorge with Red Rocks: Grand Gorge seems being cut by a sharp axe and shows a unique kind of landscape of beautiful red rocks, waterfulls and green plants. Looking the north side of this gorge, you can see a long road through the rocks and its 36 windows. This is the most incredible Guoliang Tunnel. In the south side, you can find some houses and some sturdy elm grown in the cliffs. There is a waterfall pour from the cliff in to the small lake lying in the bottom of the gorge.

2: Sky Ladder: Sky Ladder is one long stone ladder with a long history of more than 600 years, made up of scruffy rocks and the stone pit on the cliffs. It acted as the only road to leave Guo Liang Cun until Guoliang Tunnel was constructed. The hardship of climbing this ladder hinders the communication between Guo Liang Cun and the outside world, so people call it Sky Ladder. 

3:Guoliangcun Tunnel: Without one electric equipment or large machinery, the villagers carved a 1300-meter-long Guoling Tunnel along the side of and through the mountain. For its steepness, Guoliang Tunnel is called one of the Top Ten Dangerous Roads in the World and one of the Top Eighteen Peculiar Roads in the World.

After your wonderful tour finished, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Luoyang.
