In China, millions make themselves at home in caves

Just yesterday I happened to watch the first episode of BBC's Wild China. The section on caves goes into this, and among other things shows a small village school built inside a giant cave.

Here's a picture: http://static.bbc.co.uk/programmeimages/640x360/clip/p009j8q...

Two things are totally different... The cave mentioned in the article only exists in northern China and is man made. While the cave in the picture you post is in souther China and is natural cave.

BBC's Wild China series is one of the most awesome documentaries I've ever watched.

Coincidentally, it was the first series I watched when I got my Netflix account :).

While we're handing out recommendations, check out of the BBC documentary Human Planet. The name might suggest otherwise, but it breaks out of the increasingly stale Attenborough mold. It's as much anthropology as nature documentary, even more so than Wild China.
