Most of the youngsters have left the group for better opportunities, the government has tried to get them to move by promising built houses, yet this village takes a stand.
They do not live in isolation but struggle hard make a living by growing grain on the hillside near the cave.

In the caverns deep in the mountain in Anshun of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, live nearly a hundred villagers. People of the Tajing village, all from the Miao minorrity group, they have lived there for centuries.

The central largest cave is 230 metres long, 115 metres wide and 50 metres high. They are running the only hotel in the area, and have electric appliances such as televisions, a refrigerator, and an induction cooker.
