Zhaojue County is a county in the south of Sichuan Province, China. It is under the administration of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture.
Atule'er Village
The remote Atule'er Village[1] (Atulie'ercun, 阿土列尔村) [note: also transliterated as Atuleer, and Ado Ler] , is located in the Zhi'ermo Township (支尔莫乡)[2] of Zhaojue County. The village was the focus of a Chinese news video and photojournalism that became international news in May, 2016.[3] Due to the 200 year-old village's isolated location, perched like the seat of a chair with near-vertical cliffs both above and below, village children must use a series of handmade ladders to scale the 2,625 feet (800 m) cliff to reach a school in the river valley below. Parents supervise their children during the crossing due to the potential hazards. The school, which serves ages 6–15, had 15 students as of 2016.[4] Students travel between their school and their residences every two weeks, and for the school period reside in dormitories on campus due to the ladder situation.[5]
In 2015 Chen Jie of The Beijing News photographed the children on the ladder. The pictures went viral on the internet, prompting local authorities to announce that they will construct a staircase to serve the students.[6]
Villages such as Atuli'er are often dubbed Cliff villages due to their height and remoteness.
