Huangshan is home to numerous such ancient buildings. In order to preserve them, some people are getting creative. Han Yu is a poet from Shanghai. She came here with her husband years ago and rented this house.

Han Yu said, " It used to be a pigsty. We spent almost 7 years turning it into a bar."

Han Yu now has 3 bars in the village. Each of them has their own style but the original structures remain unchanged. She is not alone. In recent years, several artists have joined her, thanks to a project initiated by the government which allows individuals to join in the effort of preserving historical architecture.
