There are many natural checkpoints along the path. One section is less than 1 meter and can only be accessed by one person. After crossing the crosswalk, you drilled through a rocky cave. The stone mountains on both sides formed a narrow cave, which is 30 meters long and only half a meter wide in one section. It is the only way to go up to the village. People cannot pass it without turning sideways. When we were about to reach the top of the village, there was a stone gap less than half a meter wide between the two mountains in the southwest. It was the passage to the top of the mountain in the northeast. Beside the road was a vertical stone wall several meters high. There is a strong tendency for one man to pass these checkpoints, and no one can open them.
