There is exactly one cave home left in the Henan Province, around 30 minutes from Luoyang. A family by the name of Zhang still lives here. The matriach is 100 YEARS OLD and has lived in this cave home for 80 years of her life.

One daughter stays with her during the day and oldest son, age 79, sleeps there at night. An extremely interesting insight into a culture long gone.... And a blessing to meet a 100-year old woman who is still vibrant enough to give a "peace sign" in parting. May she have many more years of good health...

  • Omg what is that flute song playing in the background? It sounds soooo familiar that I'm certain it's a very famous chinese folk song! I wish I knew the name!!

  • Wow what a fascinating video! It just goes to show that we are NOT living healthy here in America!
