In China, Zhejiang, Shitang's stone houses have been called "China's Notre-Dame" and have a history of more than 600 years. Fishermen from Fujian migrated here, using local stones to build homes that could withstand typhoons and pirates. These structures created a unique landscape where "houses embrace the mountains, and mountains cradle the houses." With walls 60 centimeters thick, every stone step tells the story of an ancient dialogue between stone and sea.
