Stylized

Hui-style buildings

DongGuanJie, YangChow. This type of architecture is not in the local style. Many of the original Qing-era businessmen were from AnHui Province, and the houses they built reflect that style. I just fell in love with the stone bricks, and the ornate, intricate roof tiles. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and very, very sturdy.
