The Stone Nest Amphitheatre in Weihai, Shandong province, was once an abandoned stone pit with little to interest passersby. Impressed by the exposed jagged precipice and steep cliff, a group of architects have since transformed it into an open-air amphitheater for public use. The building was awarded the 8th Architizer A+ Awards in August. (Photos: chinadaily.com)
