Authorities in south-west China have vowed to come to the aid of an isolated mountain village after photographs emerged showing the petrifying journey its children were forced to make to get to school.

Images of their terrifying and possibly fatal 90-minute descent went viral on the Chinese internet after they were published in a Beijing newspaper.
