School in a cave

The largest cave in Tajing village. Width 115 m, depth 230 m, height 50 m.


Because water uses the thing which drifts from the stone and tends to be insufficient, it is digging the reservoir.


It is a school building in the elementary school on the right, and there is a considerably wide ground.


In the classroom. Other houses are also built, because they are built in the cave there is no roof.


Lesson scenery. The name of the school is Dongzhong elementary school, it seems to mean "cave primary school" as it is.


It is not a blue sky classroom but a cave classroom. It looks dark as expected.


Children playing basketball.


Almost everyone lives in a cave with about 100 villagers. I have persuaded that the local government want to migrate outside, but he seems to have failed.
