Tucked in the rolling subtropical mountains of the southeast Chinese province of Fujian are a series of giant multistoried homes built with wood and fortified with mud walls. Constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited with feng shui principles and are purposefully nestled amidst tea, tobacco, and rice fields and bountiful forests of pine and bamboo.
