1. Turtle-back tombsTurtle-back tombs or turtle shell tombs are a particular type of tombs commonly found in some coastal areas of China's Fujian Province, and in Japanese Ryukyu Islands. In the Chinese version, the tomb itself is made to look like the carapace of a tortoise, the vertical tombstone with the name of the deceased being put where the tortoise would have had its head, at the end of the grave where the feet of the buried body are.
