Deep in the Wushan Mountains, under the Heavenly Road lies the village of Xia Zhuang, a hidden paradise

"Heavenly Road Xia Zhuang," secluded and secret, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, few people and tranquility. "High mountains and deep valleys, the secret realm of the Heavenly Road"—these eight characters were my first impression of this place. As we started heading into the mountains, the deeper and higher we went, the more dangerous the road became, and I couldn't help but be curious. There is only one road into the village, and it's not until you pass the narrow mountain entrance that you're truly entering the village. I swear, I've thought of mountains as high, I've seen mountains as high, but I never imagined they could be so perilous, with an elevation difference of over 1400 meters, almost vertically downward; I've thought of roads as long, but I never imagined that just 8 kilometers from officially entering the village could be so unreachable. When the car was driving on the 8 kilometers of "Heavenly Road" carved out of the cliffs, my soul nearly flew away, feeling like the huge rocks above my head and the entire mountain could collapse at any moment, and to the right was the cliff. If something bad really happened, it would be a bone-shattering fall either way. Looking down into the valley, I saw high mountains and cliffs surrounding me, with green peaks that seemed within reach; looking down, there were steep slopes of the valley, with rapid rivers and waterfalls, and rainbows like this. On that steep slope, there was a faintly visible village, also in this isolated place, with blooming mountain flowers, fragrant fruits, and terraced fields cascading down. This place has now been successfully developed into a 4A tourist attraction, with sites such as the Cliff Kilometer, Xia Zhuang Ancient Trail, Xia Zhuang Courtyard, Eagle Beak Rock, "Printed Dragon" "Laughing Sky Dragon," Houxi River Canyon, ancient fortresses, and the Private Money Cave Ruins and Hui Long Pavilion available for sightseeing. The ultimate enjoyment is to stay here for a few nights, to see the Dripping Water Cliff in the canyon, to find the "heart-shaped" mountain and the natural giant screen cliff, to appreciate nature between high mountains and deep valleys, to leisurely watch the clouds roll by in a homestay courtyard, and to listen to the "Heavenly Road" stories and contemplate one's own life.
