1. There must be two exits, there must be enough height difference between the two exits, and there must be good sealing and heat preservation.

2. There must be a certain water source in the lower part of the cave, and the cold air entering the cave is not enough to completely condense it.

The weather below 3.0 is long enough.

4. The upper outlet is on the shady side of the mountain or in the depression of the mountain.
