China's 'last cave village' homes 18 families

[Still Waters]

 High in the misty hills of southwestern China, an hour's hike from any road, the lowing of livestock echoes through Zhongdong village, where a group of 18 families live inside an enormous natural cave.

The final hold-outs of the country's "last cave-dwelling" village have had modern conveniences, like electricity, for years.

But their only access to the outside world is a footpath winding through Guizhou province's rugged mountain terrain.

Now a local tourism development company has built a 15 million yuan ($2.2 million) cable car that residents will be allowed to use for free.

My first thought was that it would be pretty cool.   Second thought is how much it must smell in there.   I wonder where the electricity feeds from.
