    Those round houses people are asking about are traditional homes of the Hakka people. IRC they are made that way to be highly defensible. No buff on Chinese history, but they’re ethnic Han Chinese living in the mountains of South of China, and I think there was some animosity.

    I’m reading Neal Stephenson’s REAMDE, I just got to the part where they’re talking about tulous in Fujian, and this post pops up. Weird coincidence.

      Just ignore this. It’s not time to wake up from the simulation yet.

    Why is everything glowing like I’m on mushrooms? Weird photo compression artifacts here.

      I think they are multi units apartment style buildings.

      I saw that in the Mulan live action remake.
