Due to harsh environmental conditions such as the rocky soil and mountainous terrain, Dahua County in Guangxi has long been undeveloped area. Building roads has become a priority in poverty alleviation efforts here in recent years. Until now, over 2,300-km roads have been built for villagers in remote mountains in Dahua.
