GUOLIANG TUNNEL ROAD!

One of the most magnificent roads in the world is the Guoliang Tunnel Road in China. What makes it so unique besides it being very dangerous, is that it was built by the villagers themselves. Here is that inspiring story:       "Before 1972, the path chiseled into the rock used to be the only access linking the village with the outside world. Then the villagers decided to dig a tunnel through the rocky cliff. Led by Shen Mingxin, head of the village, they sold goats and herbs to buy hammers and steel tools. Thirteen strong villagers began the project. It took them five years to finish the 1,200-metre-long tunnel which is about 5 meters high and 4 meters wide. Some of the villagers even gave their lives to it. In 1977, the tunnel was opened to traffic."       The wall of the tunnel is uneven and there are more than 30 "windows" of different sizes and shapes. Some windows are round and some are square, and they range from dozens of metres long to standard-window-size. It is frightening to look down from the windows, where strange rocks hanging form the sheer cliff above and a seemingly bottomless pit lying below.

Here's Some Awesome Photos Of This Tunnel Road. Enjoy :)






















While This Road is Pretty Awesome,
It Isn't Near As Awesome As Our God!


He Is THE Rock, His work is perfect:
for all His ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity,
just and right is He.
- Deut. 32:4
