Features: In the remote and mountainous region of Shantong, buildings adapt to the terrain and naturally grow amidst the mountains and river valleys, with a simple and unadorned style. Only the-like wooden arch bridges spanning high mountains and deep gorges, and flowing over rushing streams, reveal the extraordinary nature of Shantong. Shantong is the kingdom of rural architecture in southern Zhejiang. Its relatively slower economic development has preserved a large number of outstanding rural buildings. These uniquely charming rural buildings are undoubtedly treasures waiting to be discovered by those interested in studying them!
