- reaperducer 8y agoThe source of the 30 million number is a Los Angeles Times reporter.[0] But she's talking about yadong[1], which are individual homes carved from cliffs or also build into trenches. This New York Times article is specific to a naturally-occurring cave big enough to fit an entire village of wooden houses and then some. I'm not saying you're wrong. Just trying to explain the discrepancy. [0] http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/18/world/la-fg-china-caves-20120318 http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/18/world/la-fg-china-ca...
