The Road of Happiness on Ma Pi Leng is a marvel of man's works. It was made by workers from 16 ethnic groups in northern Vietnam in 6 years from 1959 to 1965. During the time, a suicide team of 17 volunteers had to hang themselves on vertical cliffs for 11 months to carve into the rock to form a path which was later expanded into the road nowadays.
