Where is the Shitang Stone House?

Shitang Stone House is a cultural relic protection unit in Wenling City.

On the southeast coast of Wenling City, there is an ancient fishing village and market town, formerly known as Shitang Mountain, which was originally an island. According to "Taizhou Prefecture Chronicles": "There are many ponds built with mud and few with stones, but this pond is only built with stones, so it is the general name of the whole island." Shitang Mountain is used as a screen in the northwest of Shitang Town, surrounded by the sea on three sides. It has beautiful seaside scenery. The houses and roads in the town are built according to the rise and fall of the terrain. The stone houses, stone streets, stone lanes and stone steps are unique in style. In the 1980s, Shitang was famous for its fishing village stone houses. CCTV once filmed a feature film "Fishing Village Narrative" here. After CCTV broadcast it, it played a very good publicity role. Painters and photographers from all over the country came to collect and create paintings, just like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France, where people often paint. Since they were sketching and all were stone buildings, these painters called Shitang the Oriental Notre Dame de Paris. The stone houses in Shitang are the most important creative themes of these painters. The famous painter Wu Guanzhong visited Shitang many times to sketch in the 1980s and created works such as "Stone Pond" and "Fishing Port". The charm of the stone houses in Shitang is evident.
