The Hakka Houses are trully a magnificant place and almost seem like they belong on an epic period Jet Li movie. These houses are now part of Unesco’s official World Heritage Sites. They were constructed in the 12th century in the coastal area of China across from Taiwan. Over 20,000 of these were built and each could hold a small community of up to 800 people. These structures were built as forts to protect their inhabitants against bandits.
