(ECNS) -- A 9-storey wooden building of Dong ethnic style was moved 200 meters intact.

The Duoga Gulou is 15 meters tall and 11 meters wide.

Gulou is a type of building made of wood without the aid of nails in ethnic Dong people's settlements.

Tiles had been removed and the main structure fixed before relocation.

The crane arm is not allowed to swing, and should move slowly.

The structure was put down five times during the 200-meter journey and each time strict caution had to be observed.

The project is aimed to protect unique local cultural buildings.
