Through a field study in a Hakka village,this paper explores local residents representations and constructions towards Round-dragon houses from the perspective of locality.Local representations demonstrate pluralism in the sense of space,which is specifically embodied on space of physical attribute,social relation,symbolic meaning and cultural habitus; local constructionsare making Round-dragon house transformed from patrimony to heritage.Pluralismposes challenges to the "nomination for inscription on the World Heritage List" (Shenyi),and also to the development of this potential tourist attraction.
