Xiyagou Cliff Road
锡崖沟挂壁公路
A cliff-hugging road deep in the Taihang Mountains of Lingchuan, carved into a sheer cliff by villagers over thirty years. It is a must-stop for self-drive travelers.
Xiyagou Village lies beneath the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains and was long isolated from the outside world. Beginning in 1962, villagers spent nearly thirty years cutting a zigzag cliff road into the precipice, known as the “Soul of Taihang.” Driving or walking along the road offers views of the gorge and layered cliffs through the tunnel openings, and autumn foliage is especially beautiful. It is about 10 km from Wangmang Ridge, so the two can be visited on the same day. The mountain roads have many bends and are hard to pass, so drive carefully in rain or snow.
