Those round houses people are asking about are traditional homes of the Hakka people. IRC they are made that way to be highly defensible. No buff on Chinese history, but they're ethnic Han Chinese living in the mountains of South of China, and I think there was some animosity.

Oh huh, like a miniature walled city. Interesting.
