Gulou, in the city of Jiangmen, China, is known for its flat, tidai land that has traditionally been managed by digging ponds and forming soil mounds for fishing and farming. The tidal lands and the fishponds created a fragmented pattern of land and water use in the water villages, as they were known, necessitating numerous bridges. However, urbanization over the decades in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has meant that many of these traditional water villages and the fishing lifestyles they supported have disappeared. |
