Study Reveals 7,000-Year History of Ganlan Stilted Houses in East Asia

Researchers from Southeast University in Nanjing have published a study in Nature documenting the 7,000-year history of ganlan, Chinese stilted houses. The research highlights how inter-ethnic interaction, particularly influenced by Han culture, shaped the 'west-to-east' directional evolution pattern of these structures. Tai O fishing village on Lantau Island serves as a premier destination showcasing this architectural heritage.
