In the past, there were challenges in obtaining timbers and bricks, so they didn't have the materials and techniques to build houses above ground. Therefore, they chose to dig underground.
How long does it take to dig an underground yard?
The fastest took 4 years, and it's all dug manually, without machines.
How many rooms are there in the oldest sunken yard?
There are 10 rooms, big enough to accommodate 5 families.
What's it like living in an underground dwelling?
It's cool in summer and cold in winter, but there is no need for air conditioners.
What do you grow in the farms near the village?
We grow apples, pears, walnuts, kaki, wheat, and corn. We are self-sufficient.
