The Majianglong Diaolou cluster, located in Kaiping, Guangdong, China, is a remarkable example of the fusion of Chinese and Western architectural styles. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, these multi-story towers were built by local villagers to protect against bandits and natural disasters. Today, they stand as a testament to the rich cultural history of the region and the ingenuity of the overseas Chinese community during the 19th and 20th centuries.
