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.
2: Guoliang Tunnel: Guoliang Tunnel is a road linking Guo Liang Cun 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.
