    This document describes a city built into the mountains in Shanxi, China. It expresses wonder at how and why the city was constructed in such an inaccessible location. The author speculates that it is a Buddhist monastery, as monasteries are known for building in extreme and inaccessible but beautiful natural settings. The document questions how the city obtains water, power, sewage systems given its remote location high in the mountains.

    SHANXI, CHINA

    CITY BUILT IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SHAN


    This is amazing
    and we have to wonder how,
    why and when did they do this.
    From where & how do they get
    water...power....sewer.....?
    How did they build all this??
    And why..way.."up there"!!
    My best guess is that this is a Buddhist Monestary – They
    are noted for building in the most extreme, inacessible,
    but scenicly speaking, some of the most beautiful places
    there is.
