Step into the atmospheric world of southern China’s architectural heritage with Old Houses - Traditional Chinese Dwellings of Fujian 1. This 1996 gem from Jiangsu Fine Arts (White Lotus Press) is a richly illustrated study of the ancient homes tucked into the hills and villages of Fujian Province. Featuring photographs, sketches, and cultural insights, this volume captures the essence of Hakka tulou, clan compounds, and the vernacular styles shaped by geography and tradition.

Perfect for architecture buffs, China enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys the smell of musty paper and mysterious margins, this book is part art object, part cultural artifact. It’s got just the right amount of shelf wear to make you look well-read without trying too hard.

Available now from Crappy Old Books — where the spines are cracked, but the content is gold.

Very good condition but the plastic protective outer has not been applied perfectly as there are some creases in it.

The main text is in English but all the numerous images are annoted in Chinese.
