Dan’s journey to the cliff-face villages in Sichuan will begin with a rugged off-road drive through winding mountain trails, eventually reaching a point where vehicles can no longer proceed. From there, he’ll embark on a strenuous trek by foot, navigating steep paths and narrow ridges that lead up to the isolated communities. Reaching the villages will require careful planning and guidance from local guides familiar with the challenging terrain.

After completing his exploration and documenting life in these cliff-side villages, Dan’s departure will mirror his arrival: a descent back down the treacherous paths on foot to the nearest drivable trail. There, he’ll rendezvous with his transport for the return journey, bringing back not only his footage and notes but also a profound respect for the resilience of the people who call this challenging landscape home.
