Eradicating the last pocket of poverty is hard to do. Because some of those folks are living in god forsaken place not fit for human habitation like these people here.
They are mostly ethnic minority who for some unexplained reason happened to live in this most isolated places.
But it is their choice whether to move or not. Some may not
How would you like if your kid has to climb ladder so steep to go to school
This cliff is so steep no worker want to risk their life building steel ladder.So the villager has to do it themselves

Did they? I think it was a Kiwi who took a traditional activity from Vanuatu, commercialized it and call it Bungy jumping.That's enough to get your heart racing.

That reason is war. Sometime in the past 2000 years, maybe even longer, the ancestors of these people fled to those remote places to escape war, and their descendents have continued to live there ever since.

Poverty alleviation program come in many form. One way is to utilize the surplus labor in the country side like in this story
It also has the side benefit of exposing an old culture with modern time and allow individual to reach their full potential
Liberating them from the drudgery of farm wife
I think this is a moving story How a company in Anhui is recruiting worker in Xinjiang but face resistant from the parents who is reluctant to part with their daughter.
The intention is good to give girls the same opportunity and widen their horizon. And it will integrate them into China . But of course the critic said otherwise They said it is the devious Han trick to marry off Xinjiang daughters to the Han

31 Chinese cities that have economies as big as countries
CITY BY CITY
To truly grasp the emergence of China, one approach is to look at the impressive economic footprint made by the country’s cities.
Courtesy of:
Of course, cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong are the metro economic powerhouses that most people are familiar with. But have you heard of cities like Shijiazhuang, Wuxi, Changsha, Suzhou, Ningbo, Foshan, or Yantai?
There are literally dozens of Chinese cities that most people in Western countries have never heard of – yet they each hold millions of people and have an economic output comparable to nations.
Here’s a list of 31 of them, the size of their local economy, and a comparably sized national economy:

MEGAREGIONS
It’s also important to remember that these cities don’t exist in isolation, and are instead cogs in the wheels of larger megaregions. Such areas would be comparable to the Northeast U.S., in which New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. are all hours apart and remain largely integrated as a regional economy.
In China, there are three main megaregions worth noting:
Yangtze River Delta
With a combined GDP of $2.17 trillion, which is comparable to India, the Yangtze River Delta contains cities like Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo, and Changzhou.
Pearl River Delta
With a combined GDP of $1.89 trillion, which is comparable to Italy, the Pearl River Delta has cities like Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan, and Macao.
Beijing-Tianjin
With a combined GDP of $1.14 trillion, which is comparable to Australia, this megaregion holds the two largest cities in northern China, Beijing and Tianjin. The two cities are a 30-minute bullet train ride apart.
