Located in a mountainous area on the west bank of Jin-Shaan Grand Canyon, Chiniuwa Village was once considered “uninhabitable.” The local villagers were still living in loess cave dwellings just a decade ago. However, with the development of the local tourism industry, it has become a prominent landmark of Jiaxian County. We took these photos during our visit to the village in Shaanxi Province on September 27 and 28, 2021.
