Tulou are rammed-earth constructions that can hold an entire village. They are said to have originally been built for defensive purposes. The majority are round -- probably because this would have avoided easier-to-damage corners when under attack -- but a few are square or rectangular. Their survival seems assured, as they have become a major tourist attraction and inhabitants show no objection to visitors crowding in and taking photos. Amazingly there are said to be 15,000 of these in Fujian province. Wikipedia gives more details, of course.
