A Burial Place That is Nowhere Near Traditional

I guess the only way I could start this entry with is by asking a question. Are you going to hang the coffin of a loved one against a cliff?

Apparently, that was what the Bo people of China did all those years ago. One could just simply wonder how they managed to hang their coffins there when technology was very much limited back then. If I remember it right, I watched a show in the History Channel and it was mentioned that not much is known about the Bo people. How they rest their dead in peace, however, can give us a lot of insight.

I really have no words to perfectly describe these coffins. I very, very much want to see them for myself and just be awed by at it.  If you find yourself in Yibin, China in the future, be sure to see this historical and cultural wonder.
