Hey there, adventure seekers! 🧐 Did you know that in a place called Shitang, in China’s Zhejiang province, there are amazing stone houses that are over 600 years old? Let’s dive into this magical place where the mountains meet the sea! 🌋🌊
Back in the old days, fishermen from a place called Fujian moved to Shitang. They wanted to build houses that could stand strong against fierce typhoons (really strong storms) 🌪️ and even pirates! 🏴☠️ So what did they do? They used the local stones to build super sturdy homes.
These stone houses are special because they fit perfectly with the mountains. It’s like the houses are giving the mountains a big hug, and the mountains hug them back! 🏠🤗⛰️ How cool is that?
The walls of these houses are 60 centimeters thick. That’s thicker than a grown-up’s arm length! 💪 Every step you take on the stone paths feels like you’re walking through history, listening to stories whispered by the stones and the sea. 📜🌊
Today, people call these houses “China’s Notre-Dame” because they are so beautiful and full of history, just like the famous cathedral in France. 🏰🇨🇳
If you ever get a chance to visit, make sure to explore this incredible place where the stone and sea have been friends for hundreds of years! 🌟
