The most famous among them is the former residence of Chen Helong, a stone building complex carefully built by Chen Helong, a local fishery capitalist in Ruoshan in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Shitang's stone houses and stone culture are unique, quiet and distant, witnessing the prosperity and vicissitudes of the fishing village.

Now, the restored Chen Helong's former residence has become the "Municipal Marine Folk Museum", which mainly displays pictures and objects reflecting Shitang's natural scenery, architectural features, and folk customs.
