The Guoliang Tunnel
In China's Taihang Mountains, there is a 4,000 feet long road called the Guoliang Tunnel that was built by the villagers themselves. In 1972, 13 villagers began the project to carve a road along the side of a mountain in order to link their village to the outside world. On May 1, 1977, the road was opened for travelers.
