Abstract：Using visual images and paintings from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China as the primary research materials, this article collates and reconstructs the transformation of architectural forms of Tanka people and settlement formation in the Pearl River Estuary area at the end of the 18th century. It examines the linear distribution pattern of small-scale settlements formed on the reclaimed land, the construction of houses relying on dikes, and the transformation of the Tanka people's production and lifestyle from boats to land dwellings. Additionally, it explores the interrelationships between the evolution from the marine environment to the terrestrial one and the architectural and settlement patterns of the boat-dwellers. It argues that the environmental transformation of land and water in the Pearl River Delta and the reclamation activities are the main factors promoting changes in the production, living style, the spatial evolution of habitation of boat-dwellers, and the formation of the linear distribution of settlements.
