The project REVITALIZATION OF An Abandoned Stone Village started ten years ago. The owner’s original intention was to save only several yards in his deserted home village to leave childhood memories. Later, inspired by experts of village construction who activate ancient villages by art, the idea was extended to the rebirth of ravine lands. REVITALIZATION OF An Abandoned Stone Village is meant to redefine one of the villages named Denghua Village.
