What travelers say:

The cave is a product of the loess plateau. Xifeng loess, like the entire loess plateau, is a ethotropic accumulation formed in the late Quaternary Early Pleistocene in the geological age, 1.2 million years ago. The loess layer is generally 50 to 100 meters thick, and the thickest part can reach 200 meters. Because the loess layer is deep and the soil is dense, it is very suitable for digging holes to build kilns. It is not easy to collapse for hundreds of thousands of years. For thousands of years, cave dwellings have been an important residence for the people of Xifeng.
