School Journey in the Clouds: Since the new semester began, primary students from Nizhuhe Village in Qujing, southwest China’s Yunnan, have been going to school aboard a "shuttle in the clouds," crossing a 550-meter elevation gap between their homes and their school on the mountain top.

For the students, it used to take a grueling 3-hour trek through dangerous cliffside hurdles to get to school, but that changed in 2022 since the launch of a 268-meter-high sightseeing elevator and cable car system as part of a tourism project in the area, which in turn also provided villagers free access.

Now, children enjoy a fast, safe, and direct ride, cutting their travel time to just 30 minutes.#China #Chinese
