Shanxi is located on the eastern edge of the Loess Plateau. On the rugged terrain, rolling loess terraces undulate as far as the eye can see. Occasionally, on hillsides tens of meters high, local residents have made full use of the loess soil, carving into the mountains and cliffs layers of cave dwellings that stay warm in winter and cool in summer.
