Nestled in the mountainous area, Abuluoha village is connected with the outside world with a rugged trail built along a cliff. One way trip needs about 4 hours by walk and goods are transported by horses. To improve the transportation conditions which are believed to hinder the villagers from getting rid of the poverty, local authority decided to build a 3.8-km-long road that will link Weimu village of Laguo township with Abuluoha village in Butuo county of Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture.
