It's not your usual country house

Local farmer Liu Hongcai recently finished the construction of a house made of 20,000 corn cobs in Erhe village in Shulan, Jilin province.

With the help of a dozen neighbors, Liu spent more than half a month building the rural-style house, which offers tourists a unique way to experience traditional life in northeastern China.

"The house is 12 meters long and 4 meters wide, the size of a normal house in the village," Liu said. "All the displays in the yard, including the waterwheel, roller and granary, are all made of corn cobs."

In recent years, Erhe village has been promoting winter tourism projects.

"I hope the scenery can help attract more tourists to visit our village," Liu said.
