One deputy to the 12th National People's Congress had a more challenging trip than most to reach Beijing for the session's start on Sunday.
Luo Yunlian, representing her native cliff-top village of Gulu in Sichuan province, started her journey on what might be called a "sky road" - a cable car that passes 800 meters above the roaring Dadu River. Her village is part of the county of Hanyuan in Ya'an.
The cable car crosses 750 meters of sky to get to another village, Maping, where she reached a road.
