Lizhuang, Dangshan County
Lizhuang 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.
