Imagine China's Baoshan Stone City as more than just a miraculous village perched on natural boulders - it's more like a real-life version of an adventure movie. Hidden deep in the mountains of Lijiang, Yunnan Province, this village's entire complex practically pushes the limits of human habitation and is surrounded by heart-pounding cliffs, but for the villagers here, such a life has long been their daily routine. Want to go out? In Baoshan Stone Town, it's not as simple as opening the door and walking. The villagers rely on steel and rattan ladders on the cliffs to get around. Imagine waking up in the morning and having to walk along a cliff hundreds of meters high, using a rattan ladder suspended in mid-air or a ladder made of steel, in order to reach the fields at the bottom of the mountain or a neighboring village.
