Lizhuang, Dangshan County

Lizhuang (Chinese: ζŽεΊ„ι•‡) is a village in Dangshan County, Anhui Province.

The village has a humid subtropical climate. Local crops include corn and pomegranates.

A nearby coal mine offers only limited employment. Hence many of Lizhuang's adults have migrated elsewhere for work, leaving a large number of left-behind children in the care of grandparents.

Traditional houses in the village are made from stone held together with a paste made from ashes. Remittances from migrant workers have enabled some residents to construct homes with modern building materials such as bricks, roofing tile and cement.[1]
