My hometown is on the Loess Plateau. Although the scenery here is not as beautiful as the south, it also has its own unique side.

What impressed me most was the unique cave.

Cave dwellings are the product of the Loess Plateau and the symbol of farmers in northern Shaanxi. In the past, a farmer worked hard all his life, and his basic wish was to build a few caves. Having a kiln and marrying a wife is considered a family business. Men dig in the yellow land, while women do housework and have children in the cave. Although the cave is small, it condenses the unique customs of the yellow land.

Earth caves were the residences of earlier people, and now most of the caves people live in are of masonry structure. From a distance, rows of caves are built on the mountain. Hidden among jujube trees, pear trees and some unknown fruit trees, it has become a unique landscape in our hometown. Its top is cut into an arc, which is durable and very comfortable to live in.

when I got close, I saw that its windows were semicircular, but they were separated into small squares with exquisite wood strips made by carvers. It's very beautiful to put up window paper and frame window grilles.
