Randy W Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) from China Pictorial on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChinaPic/posts/1794643237327724 China Pictorial Yesterday at 1:29 PM · Quote China's village gets UNESCO award for cultural heritage conservation This photo taken on Nov. 11, 2018 shows the external wall of Aijing Zhuang residential complex in Yangwei Village of Yongtai County, southeast China's Fujian Province. The project, with a total of 361 rooms covering an area of over 5,200 square meters, was built during the reign of Emperor Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It has safeguarded the authentic character of the housing, its defensive structures and waterways that are emblematic of this site, providing a model for other historic villages across China. The conservation of Aijing Zhuang residential complex demonstrates a sensitive approach to sustaining a rural settlement as a living place in harmony with its natural setting. Aijing Zhuang in November this year received the Award of Merit in the 2018 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.

An interesting video that's in the article, but you can watch here - http://video1.sixthtone.com/video/5/0/149.mp4 The Farmers Who Carve Frozen Rivers for the Harbin Ice Festival Meet the men behind the building blocks for China’s biggest winter wonderland. Quote Most haven't been to the festival in years, since the tickets are "too expensive", at ¥330, or around $50USD. The festival apparently got its start from farmers who were suddenly idled by the oncoming winter, but were able to redirect their labor to carving large blocks of ice (400 to 700 kg) from the Songhua River. from Inkstone The ice men cometh Edited December 26, 2020 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment

amberjack1234 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 They are experts at what they do obviously and I hope that they have them reinforced somehow. After all, ice is ice and it will move just like a glacier flow. They keep building them larger and larger I am afraid that there is going to be a failure one day and folks will get hurt. That is if the old farmers keep on doing it as it says there are just a few that still do this kind of work. Link to comment
