AnirudhaStill Standing
Let me write this one more time that this place is 4,000 years old. The whole place and the houses are still intact. But how? This is because of the soil that is found in the Henan Province region. The soil is still solid and swamp, meaning there was no shrinkage or shifting took place during all these years and all of this contributed to their lastingness. Their ancestors knew what were they doing with the place and had the idea of how to make sure that this town stays the way it was back then.
Natural Disaster
Nature is the biggest power in the entire universe. She has the ability to create or destroy anything she desires. So, due to the same reason in mind, the people of this town decided to take precaution so that in a near future if any natural disaster occurs the place can withstand it. For example, they built big wide wells next to the homes to prevent them from flooding during storms and heavy rains. Many of the dwellings have been made soundproof, and earthquake resistant for better security of the people and tourists.
Modernisation
The tourists kept coming to see this place and many of them wanted to stay there for a while. The local government then decided to make the houses compatible with tourist’s needs. The houses were then fitted with modern appliances including running water and electricity. ‘
You Can Rent
Tourists have shared their experiences of this place where they have told about the pleasant atmosphere of this place. In summers it is cold and in winters it is warm. You can also rent the house from the available option that is provided to you. You can rent a single three room or two room cave with attached bathroom that has space of around 750 square feet that cost around $30 a month.
Or Buy
What’s even more interesting is that you can also buy an entire house, complete with three bedrooms and a bathroom, that too in $4500 only. Location may not be suitable for everybody but the budget of the house can be a quite a deal.
Live And Farm
People who are living in the surrounding yaodongs enjoy the literal fruit of their farming labor. Many of the dwellings have been constructed in the way that people can grow and farm their own plants and vegetables. Cool, right?
