The houses in Kandvan were rock-shelters

The houses in this village were made with rocks. The hill slope was filled with the rock-hewn dwellings. And the locals were still living in them. They were cliff dwellers. Because there were many electric wires, they seemed to have access to power. Their lifestyle didn't stay in their old selves. Anyway, I felt as if I took a wander into a movie set. I was very impressed and enjoying rambling along the lanes.

During walking around, I found two little kids walking together. They pulled the hood over their head. Their houses could be also made with rocks.
