A new aerial video has provided a rare glimpse into a mysterious Chinese village where residents have lived in subterranean 'pit yards' for some four millennia. The series of underground dwellings in central China's Henan Province used to have nearly 10,000 homes. Right now, around 3,000 people still live there while the others have moved to modern homes, according to Chinese media.

Well the ambient temperature underground is 55 degrees Farenheit, so pretty comfortable year round.
OP really cool find, I imagine their "town history" is amazingly rich!
