We were dropped off on the main road and we had to walk to the hanging bridge to get to the towers. These were towers built by the Qiang people to ward off enemy attacks. A few are still left and preserved. It was hot and once we got to the bridge we decided to turn back and return to the village. Lonely Planet said it was a 30 minute walk but it was not. It took more than an hour without any cars passing by. We wanted to get a taxi but found none. We saw the asphalt melting under the hot sun. It was a struggle to get back to the village. My companions still hasn't forgiven me for putting them through this. I still get a lot of flack from them. Finally when we were almost near the village, a taxi came by. We hopped into it and rode back in it the rest of the way.
