About Shitang Town

The settlement's architecture follows the uneven ground, with houses and stone steps rising at different levels. Some of its characteristic buildings are three- or four-storey stone towers assembled from carefully fitted rectangular blocks. Granite window grilles carry geometric patterns, bringing fine carving to the otherwise substantial masonry.

Stone-house guesthouses have added another layer to Shitang's fishing-village architecture. In places such as Wuao village, their stone construction connects the visitor economy with the wider town's distinctive streets, lanes and houses.

What to look for

  • The stepped stone lanes and houses arranged along the hillsides.
  • Tall stone houses assembled from rectangular blocks.
  • Geometric patterns carved into granite window grilles.
