Nanjing Tulou

Yunshuiyao, to be honest, is just a place where chickens and ducks are raised, just like a rural village. There is a stream and a few banyan trees. The only special feature is the earthen building, which is actually not interesting. There are earthen buildings on the way up the mountain, and you don’t need to buy tickets. There are quite a lot of people going to Yunshuiyao Scenic Area, all in tour groups. The tour guides talk like they are memorizing books. You can hear their explanations wherever you go. And the stories are all made up, just like the ones that fool people. Every tour guide tells the same thing. The ticket for Yunshuiyao Scenic Area is 90 yuan, and there are only two earthen buildings, a round one called Huaiyuan Building, and a square one called Hegui Building, covering an area of ​​​​It is very small and can be visited in 5 minutes. The key point is that there is a villager guarding the stairs going upstairs. You have to pay 5 yuan to go upstairs to take pictures. And the upstairs is just like the 4-story building built in our rural area, except that we use cement and it uses wooden boards. Another attraction is the banyan tree. See the picture below. The three attractions can be visited in minutes. The main thing is that it takes more than an hour to drive from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, which is about 54 kilometers. There are many bends, the speed limit is 60, and it is not easy to overtake. People will be crazy about it. It is not as fun as the 10-mile Blue Mountain in Xiamen. The most important thing is that some villagers are shameless and follow you to tell you this and that. They don't talk about money at first, but try to get close to you, making people think that they are kind enough to tell you the story of their earthen buildings. Because I have a friend from Northeast China, who is cheerful and straightforward, and I am more self-acquainted. She kept telling you and looked very enthusiastic, so I started chatting with her. Later, she said she would charge you, and threatened you if you didn't pay, saying that you can't leave if you don't pay. It's disgusting. Because I was in a hurry to go back to Xiamen, I gave her 70 yuan. I was too lazy to argue with her, otherwise I would call the police and see what she would do. Don't pay attention to people who try to get close to you when you travel in the future. They approach you for no reason and have ulterior motives.

Very distinctive architecture, worth seeing, the surrounding scenery is also good, more primitive feeling. Many people see it, it is quite far from Xiamen City, we signed up for a one-day tour, each person costs about 100 or 200 yuan, leaving early and returning late to see the earth building and Yunshui Ballad. The scenic spot itself is very distinctive, but as a tourist attraction, the supporting facilities are not perfect, the parking lot is small, the order is chaotic, and it will cause traffic jams.

Nanjing Tulou refers to the Tulou scattered throughout the mountainous areas of Nanjing, Hua'an, Pinghe, Zhao'an, Yunxiao, Zhangpu and other counties in Zhangzhou City. It is famous for its long history, large number, large scale, strange shape and unique style. Among them, the Tianluokeng Tulou Group, Hekeng Tulou Group, Huaiyuan Tower and Hegui Tower in Nanjing County are one of the representatives of Fujian Tulou. In 2008, 46 Fujian Tulou, including the Chuxi, Hongkeng and Gaobei Tulou Groups, Yanxiang Tower and Zhenfulou in Yongding County, and the Tianluokeng and Hekeng Tulou Groups in Nanjing County, were officially included in the World Heritage List.

Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster. It consists of 1 square Tulou (Buyun Tower), 3 round Tulou (Hechang Tower, Zhenchang Tower, Ruiyun Tower) and 1 oval Tulou (Wenchang Tower). The square building Buyun Tower is in the center, and the other 4 buildings surround it. Looking down from a high place, it looks like "four dishes and one soup".

Nanjing Tulou includes Tianluokeng Tulou Group (four dishes and one soup), Yuchang Building, Tasha Village, Hekeng Tulou Group, and Yunshuiyao Ancient Town. Among them, Four Dishes and One Soup consists of a square building (Buyun Building), three round buildings (Hechang Building, Zhenchang Building, Ruiyun Building) and an oval building (Wenchang Building). Yunshuiyao Ancient Town is surrounded by green mountains on all sides, and a clear long stream passes through the town. Small bridges connect the villages on both sides. The 13 thousand-year-old banyan trees on both sides of the stream are lush and leafy, like umbrellas and covers, forming a wonder of banyan trees.

We went to the Tianluokeng Tulou in the Nanjing Tulou Group, commonly known as the Four Dishes and One Soup, and the No. 1 Wonderful Building, Yuchang Building, and Dongwaixixi Building. If you don't drive yourself, it is recommended to sign up for a one-day tour and add the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area.

This is a place listed as an intangible cultural heritage. It is famous for the Nanping Tulou with four dishes and one soup. You need to charter a car to go up the mountain and book a homestay on the top of the mountain. The standard of the homestay is similar to that of a hotel, but the scenery and environment are amazing. From a sightseeing perspective, it is indeed a place worth visiting.

The Tulou in Nanjing is mainly located in Tianluokeng, including Changjiao Ancient Town (Yunshuiyao), each with its own characteristics. The natural environment of Tianluokeng is set off by mountains, while that of Changjiao Ancient Town is complemented by beautiful water. The shapes are also different, with a combination of circular adobe and dry-rammed earthwork, stone door frames, and openings, which are steady and heavy. Some use bluestone as the foundation and blue bricks for the walls, which appear luxurious and solid.

This is the famous Tulou with four dishes and one soup, but it is becoming more and more commercial.

It's quite shocking, four dishes and one soup, perfect.

Four dishes and one soup are the characteristics of Nanjing Tulou. They have different tastes when viewed from different angles. However, they are only suitable for viewing from a distance.

The ancient buildings are very charming, but the food and accommodation conditions are relatively poor. If you are not pretentious, you can stay for a night, as the scenery is more beautiful at night.

I lit up 15 little stars!!! I went directly to Nanjing County, but didn't go to Yunshuiyao or Tianluokeng. I went to an undeveloped Tulou and another one that is under development. The specific itinerary will be listed in my travel notes later! If you go to Xiamen, you must go to a Tulou. No matter which Tulou you go to, of course, the undeveloped and original one is the most recommended!

Good review! The Tulou is worth a visit, the staff is very good, and the one-day tour is very cost-effective. Special thanks to Alai, Alai, Alai, Axia and Master Fan (1663), they are very enthusiastic ❤️

You can either drive yourself or join a tour group. It's inconvenient to take a car by yourself.

Thank you Master Zhan for having a pleasant trip with us today. His driving skills are great, his words are humorous, and we learned a lot. His attitude is enthusiastic and thoughtful. I give him five stars and will recommend him to my friends.

The people there are simple and pure, the air is especially good, it's worth a visit.

We went to Hegui Tower and Huaiyuan Tower near Yunshui Yao. They are quite distinctive, but too commercialized and not well preserved.

After living in the city for a long time, I like the feeling of being in the fields.

It looks like a Tulou from the outside, but inside is a canteen + tea stall, which is a great place for a farm stay or a self-driving tour. But don't expect too much from the food inside...

The distances between the scenic spots in Nanping Tulou are quite far. There are buses to the scenic spots in the scenic area, but when I arrived it was in the off-season and the departure time was irregular. The only advantage is that there are fewer people. If you want to enjoy the quietness alone, you must charter a car yourself, otherwise you will feel desperate while waiting for the scenic spot bus.

Because the development of Nanjing Tulou is not very advanced at present, the villagers in the "Cai Tang" still retain their simplicity and kindness. They will invite you to drink tea, take photos for you, and chat with you. Indeed, I once suspected whether these would be charged, but seeing their sincere faces saying "no payment", I decided to take a risk and try it once. I know that their behavior is actually to sell, but without commercial rigid consumption, the innocence of the people is still preserved.

Nanjing Yunshuiyao was not originally called this. It was renamed "Yunshuiyao" because a love movie Yunshuiyao was filmed here. This place is beautiful with green mountains and clear waters, and it is indeed suitable for a simple and pure love story.

It was almost evening when we finished visiting Yuchang Building, so we decided to go to our accommodation first and then go down to Tianluokeng for a walk at night. The accommodation for the next day is really highly recommended, called Gratitude Manor (formerly Xiaohui Inn).

We ordered dinner at the place where we stayed. We must praise it again. The room was very spacious, much better than the one in Yunshuiyao yesterday. There was a big yard on the first floor. The children were running and jumping around and playing ball. The adults were sitting next to them, chatting and drinking tea. There was also a KTV where young people could go and sing.

Huaiyuan Building is a traditional Chinese residential building. Built between 1905 and 1909, it is a double-ring circular earth building with the most exquisite construction technology and the best preservation. It is a masterpiece of traditional residential architectural art and was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in May 2006. It is the prototype of the residence of Big Fish in the cartoon "Big Fish and Begonia". The prototype of the earth building is an official coastal defense fortress built to prevent pirate invasion. Huaiyuan Building in Nanping was built in the 30th year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1904) with 10,000 taels of silver remitted by overseas Chinese. It is magnificent.

The earthen buildings have withstood hundreds of years of wind, sun, and earthquakes of varying sizes, and cracks have appeared in the walls in some places.

The interior of the earthen building is mainly made of wood, and the exterior walls are mainly made of hard rocks, water sand, and mud. It is really not to be underestimated that such construction technology could be developed three or four hundred years ago.

The four dishes and one soup at Tianluokeng have a beautiful view, especially when viewed from the upper observation deck.

Nanjing Tulou is about 100 kilometers away from Zhangzhou, and it takes about 2 hours to drive there. When you get close to it, someone will come up to you and offer to be your tour guide for free, provided you have dinner at his house. We didn't use them, and drove directly to the entrance of Tianluokeng (four dishes and one soup) scenic spot. If it is the peak season, I am afraid we can't get there.

Nanping's earthen buildings have only one door for entry and exit, forming a high-intensity defense function. One earthen building can accommodate hundreds of people. The entire building is a symbol of prosperity, family inheritance, and unity and cohesion.

The construction of earthen buildings is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so the size of the earthen buildings directly reflects the size of the family. Most of the earthen buildings in this area of ​​Nanjing belong to the Jian family, and it is said that they even produced a Jinshi.

There are still many Hakka people living in the earth buildings today, but most of them are the older generation who have lagged behind the pace of social development. The famous earth buildings are well maintained because of the large number of tourists, and are even filled with small vendors; while the dilapidated earth buildings are so quiet that there are not many people, only a few old people guarding the gate, sometimes collecting the pitiful 5 yuan admission fee from tourists.

I was full of expectations before I went to the Tulou, but after I went there, I complained a lot, so I started a series of self-questions and answers:

[Are the earthen buildings beautiful?] I smiled and said to myself, the photos are all deceiving.

[Are the people in the Tulou simple and honest? ] The locals went upstairs to collect a fee of 5 yuan per person, but they were too busy counting the money to be simple and honest.

[Is it worth going?] I am stubborn and know how hard it is to go, but I will not give up until I go. I spend 10 hours on the road to see the landscape in the movie. Only by going there can I stop thinking about it.

[Which one should I go to?] Yunshuiyao, Four Dishes and One Soup, Yongding Gaobei, I can't tell them apart. In fact, there is not much difference. If you don't drive to the one with few people and beautiful scenery, you can only follow the crowd to experience the commercialization of 5A-level scenic spots.

[Do you want to join a tour group?] Of course you do if you don't know how to drive. It's hard to control the time when you take the train and bus by yourself. It's much easier to join a tour group. Yunshui Yao + Tianluokeng is only more than 200 yuan, including the ticket, and you don't need to plan the route.

A must-see scenic spot. The visit time is not long. The architecture is so good, fully reflecting the wisdom of the ancient people.

A visit to the Tulou complex is a must when you go to Yunshuiyao. How should I put it? The architecture is incomparable, the environment is interesting, and the only regret is the huge crowds. If you come here in the off-season, it would be such a happy thing.

The temples are scattered among the lush forests and are as solid as a rock. They are the product of the Hakka people (mostly from Henan) in southern Fujian to prevent "foreign invaders from entering and leaving, and internal strife among bandits".

Accompanied by the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, we woke up one after another at six or seven in the morning. Stepping out of the house and walking to the platform of the earth building, wow, the earth building in the early morning is like a graceful girl, shy and shy, and I can't help but brighten my eyes. The temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is still very large, and the humidity is relatively heavy in summer, so the clouds and mist are lingering in the mountains, like a fairyland. Take a deep breath, and the whole body is awakened and energetic.



The weather was cool in the morning, so the workers had already started working. In order for the earthen buildings to survive for so many years, daily maintenance was essential.

You have to visit Yongding Tulou. Chengqi Tower is very large and well preserved. I admire the wisdom of the Hakka people for building such a distinctive house.

It has a historical feel and is worth a visit. It costs 5 yuan to go up to the earth building.

The convenience of the Tulou Scenic Area is really beyond words. We stored our luggage for free. We entered the scenic area with an umbrella. Our shoes cannot be exposed to rain, so we bought plastic shoe covers and thin plastic raincoats at the grocery store of the first Tulou. The shoe covers broke within 20 steps, so we went back to change them. It was a difficult journey.

It is a very quiet village, the river is abundant and clear, and the air is fresh. This is my favorite place. It’s a pity that I couldn’t stay longer due to the weather.

There is a ground in the middle of the earth building that really shakes if you jump on it. It is indeed built on swampy land.

There are many vendors selling small commodities in each earth building.

The driving distance between Yongding Tulou and Nanjing Tulou is very short, and each has its own flavor.

It is really worth going, and you must visit the Yongding Tulou King. After you go there, you will be shocked and experience a different Hakka culture!

It's very commercial, with small restaurants everywhere, making it dirty.

The Tulou itself is pretty good, but the environment and people have deteriorated. The ticket is 100 yuan, which is a bit expensive considering the road infrastructure. Overall, it's not very interesting, and it's enough to see it once!

It's nice to stand outside and walk around. There are too many people inside. You can go in and ask a tour guide to talk to you. He can tell you why there are round and square earthen buildings. It is said that they are to protect against wild animals, and then you can take a look for yourself.

Nanjing Tulou refers to the Tulou that is spread throughout the mountainous areas of Nanjing, Hua'an, Pinghe, Zhao'an, Yunxiao, Zhangpu and other counties in Zhangzhou City. It is famous for its long history, large number, large scale, strange shape and unique style, and is known as the "mythical mountain architecture". Fujian Tulou originated in the Song Dynasty, gradually matured in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has continued to this day. Fujian Tulou is a unique large-scale rammed earth residential building in the mountainous area in the world. It is built on the mountain and has a reasonable layout. It absorbs the "feng shui" concept of traditional Chinese architectural planning, adapts to the living and defense requirements of clans, and cleverly uses the narrow flat land in the mountains and local raw soil, wood, pebbles and other building materials. It is a self-contained system with the characteristics of economy, solidity, strong defense, and extremely beautiful raw earth high-rise building model. It was the third stop of Hunan Satellite TV's "Where Are We Going, Dad Season 3"

I have seen a lot of introductions and pictures about Nanjing Tulou, but none of them are as reliable as visiting it in person. When you really stop in the mountains and jungles and see several huge geometric buildings located in between, you will be amazed at the architectural creativity of mankind and the construction wisdom of the ancients. There are nearly 10,000 Tulou of all sizes in Fujian Province, and many of them have been preserved to this day. Tulou can be seen in many counties, but the Nanjing Tulou group in Zhangzhou is the most complete and open area. The indigenous people here and the tourism industry have formed a perfect symbiotic system.

Compared with the earth buildings in Yongding, they are more primitive, but not developed as per Yongding standards. Tianluokeng, Yunshuiyao, Hekeng and Taxia are the representatives.

沒有看過土樓的人強烈建議一定要來看！現場看土樓的震撼是無法言喻的，聽聽土樓居民分享他們的文化歷史，到他們家喝喝自己種的好茶，這趟旅行讓我收穫良多！

The two-day tour I signed up for was actually two one-day tours combined, and then I stayed at Yunshuiyao. The earthen buildings all felt similar, so I suggest that those who are hesitant take the Yongding Earthen Building + Yunshuiyao route. This is the largest earthen building.

The Hakka people living in the earth building are very hospitable and will invite tourists to smoke and drink tea. Visitors can only visit the first floor and are not allowed to go upstairs.

After a long hesitation, I decided to go to Nanjing, after all, the journey is slightly shorter. I will go to Yongding next time.

Take a walk during the holidays and see the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom. I heard that it is the filming location of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

Very distinctive, worthy of being a Fujian residence, it has been on stamps. Worth a visit!

Nanjing Tulou is the filming location of Big Fish and Begonia. We experienced living in a Tulou for one night. The room has the most old-fashioned windows. Although the sound insulation is not very good, we were woken up by the sounds of various checked luggage, chatting, chickens and dogs barking. But this is the real country life.

It is worthy of being called the king of earthen buildings. It is so stunning. It’s a pity that we can’t go upstairs.

The Tianluokeng Tulou Group is a masterpiece of traditional residential architecture. It is located in Tianluokeng natural village, Shangban Village, Shuyang, in the west of Nanping County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. It is the settlement of the Huang family. The Tianluokeng Tulou Group is located on the Fox Hillside at an altitude of 787.8 meters, 60 kilometers away from Nanping County.

It is not commercialized yet, very comfortable, and it is the first time I saw fireflies here.

We hired a tour guide on the spot for a small amount of money. Since she was a local, she could take us deep into several earth buildings. We also went to the earth building where she lived to drink tea and eat. Of course, we paid for it.

Many people are struggling whether to visit the Tulou during their four or five-day trip in Xiamen. I recommend that you visit it. First of all, the scenery is really beautiful, especially the Nanjing Tulou and Yunshuiyao, which can be visited together. If you think the journey is too long and the car is not convenient, you can sign up for a one-day tour. Except for the long stay at the shopping attractions, the whole trip is quite relaxing. And most importantly, the scenery is really beautiful. It is worth the trip to see this kind of characteristic building and learn about its history and architectural structure.

Nanjing Tulou is a huge tourist attraction, divided into two routes, A and B. Unless you drive by yourself, it is really not recommended to complete the tour in one day. Route A has richer content, inconvenient transportation, and many winding mountain roads; Route B has a stronger commercial atmosphere and more convenient transportation. We drove by ourselves, first went to the Tulou Service Center to buy tickets, and started to take Route B. Each scenic spot needs to be re-checked. Each scenic spot has its own parking lot, but it is recommended to park near the scenic spot to avoid walking distance and avoid illegal tickets. The road from Route B to Route A is very narrow, and two small cars need to go in the wrong direction, which is a test of driving skills.

Nanjing Tulou is a general term for the Tulou clusters in Nanjing. The scenic spots of Nanjing Tulou are similar, and the tickets are divided into A and B lines:

Line A: Yunshuiyao, Hegui Tower, Huaiyuan Tower --- Tickets ￥90

Line B: Tianluokeng (four dishes and one soup), Yuchanglou, Tasha Village --- Tickets ￥95

We went to Yunshuiyao and Tianluokeng. The night view of the four dishes and one soup was very nice. We stayed in Tasha Village, which was nice.

According to the tour guide, there are about 40,000 earth buildings in China, mainly distributed in Fujian and Guangdong, as well as in Jiangxi and Anhui. However, the most concentrated area is in Nanjing, Fujian, known as the "Earth Building Kingdom", with about 15,000 earth buildings. On July 7, 2008, Tianluokeng Earth Building Group, Hekeng Earth Building Group, Huaiyuan Building, and Hegui Building, a total of 20 earth buildings, were listed as World Cultural Heritage.

The weather is very good, blue sky, earthen buildings, Yunshuiyao, beautiful~

Nice scenery. Different view. The architecture of the earth building is simply a miracle. Worth a visit.

Today's trip started at 7:15 in the morning. I waited for the tourist bus for half an hour, then went to the tourist distribution center, and then took the tourist bus. In the middle, I stayed in the tourist center of Zhangzhou City for half an hour, just to visit the largest local specialty tourist center. Haha, protect your wallet. As a result, I arrived in Nanjing at noon. After eating the group meal, I started to visit Nanjing Tulou. The most famous attractions in this place are "Hegui Tower" and "Huaiyuan Tower", as well as Yunshui Ballad. The tour started at 1 pm, and I had to drink tea at the local guide's house on the way (the purpose of tasting tea is to sell tea).

Let's talk about Yunshuiyao first, a very beautiful natural landscape village hidden in the southern Fujian region. Originally, this place was called Changjiao. It was entirely because of the movie "Yunshuiyao" that the world knew its quiet beauty. The beautiful natural landscape and rich cultural resources have made some film and television directors often come here to shoot films, and Changjiao Village has been on the screen many times. The TV series "A Century of the Sea" was also filmed in Changjiao. After the Fujian Tulou Group was successfully listed as a World Heritage Site, the local government named Changjiao the "Yunshuiyao" ancient town.

The entire Yunshuiyao Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a cobblestone road stretches along the river all the way to the Huaiyuan Tower. After the Fujian Tulou was successfully listed as a World Heritage Site, the local government named this 10-kilometer-long cobblestone ancient road in the village the "Yunshuiyao Ancient Plank Road". Among them, the small bridge and the flowing water and big banyan trees (represented by eight ancient banyan trees with lush branches and leaves and very large crowns) are the highlights of the tour.

Let's talk about earthen buildings. It is a kind of building form in Fujian, Guangdong and other regions, which is listed in the World Material Culture List. The outer shape of earthen buildings is round, square, oval, etc. The so-called building is a house with two or more floors. Based on this, a one-story house, even if it is supported by raw earth walls and wood as columns and beams, cannot be called an earthen building, but can only be called an earthen house. Earthen buildings are a unique large-scale residential form in the world and are known as the treasure of traditional Chinese Han folk houses. This special form of building was built out of the need to resist wild beasts and robbers in the mountains and forests, and to embody the ideal of living together in a large family under Confucianism, and it also embodies the practical need to gather strength and resist foreign enemies together.

Today we are going to visit Nanjing Tulou Line B: two Tulou are quite distinctive. Heguilou (square) is built on swampy ground, and people can clearly feel the ground vibrating when jumping inside the building. Huaiyuanlou (round) is exquisitely carved, and there is a plaque written by He Yingqin in the building.

The first stop is Hegui Tower. After visiting, walk along the path to the stream. The stream water is very clear and flowing happily. Step onto the Lover's Bridge and come to the stream, and you will enter the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area. Visit and take pictures near the big banyan trees and waterwheels. You can see towering ancient trees and flowing water under small bridges. It is really beautiful.

The next route of the tour is walking along the ancient plank road. There are many beautiful scenery along the way, and the stream is clean and clear. There are also some ancient banyan trees on the ancient plank road.

After about 30-40 minutes, we arrived at the end of the ancient plank road, and then walked for about a few minutes to Huaiyuan Tower, which is the last stop of Line B. The whole journey takes 3 hours to complete. This is what I dislike most about today's tour. Time is wasted on the road, and the time for real sightseeing is squeezed out.

World Heritage, very distinctive houses, worth a visit

Four dishes and one soup, a world cultural heritage, is worth seeing with your own eyes to admire the greatness of our ancestors.

There are many earth buildings in Nanping, and we saw dozens of them along the way. The ones you usually see in the scenic area are Hegui Tower, a large square earth building, built on the fields, standing for hundreds of years; Huaiyuan Tower, a huge round earth building, is the place with the most tourists, with hundreds of households living in it. You need to pay a fee of 5 yuan to the locals to visit the building.

Oriental Castle, the most beautiful ancient village in China, a miracle of architecture, four dishes and one soup, worth a visit

 Tianluokeng Scenic Area·Line A (￥100):

Scenic spots: Tianluokeng Tulou Group (a clever combination of five Tulou buildings with four dishes and one soup, one square, one oval and three circles), Yuchang Tower (tilted from east to west, and has survived 700 years without any danger), Taxia Village

 Yunshuiyao Scenic Area·Line B (￥90):

Scenic spots: Yunshuiyao Ancient Road, Hegui Tower (built on swamp land, the tallest earthen building), Huaiyuan Tower (the best-preserved earthen building)

 Hekeng Tulou Group·Line C (￥50):

Scenic spots: The building was planned and built in batches at one time. It is located on the banks of a mountain stream in an area of ​​less than 1 square kilometer. It is the densest group of earth buildings in Fujian.

[Recommendation] It is recommended that self-driving tourists choose Line A, and it is recommended that public transportation tourists choose Line B!

It's not easy to live here, man-made classic scenery

The scenery is nice, but unfortunately it is rather monotonous and there are not many attractions. It would be better to add costume performances with the characteristics of the She ethnic group.

In fact, you can sign up for a one-day tour of Nanjing Tulou and Yunshuiyao. There is a round Huaiyuan Tower and a square Hegui Tower, which are representative of the characteristics of Tulou in the southern Fujian region. You must pay another five yuan to go to the Tulou.

For me, the Tulou is a perfect score. It is worth a visit. The Tulou style and the tea made from golden thread lotus are delicious.

The architecture of the Tulou is very unique. But the local area is too commercialized. There is a fee for going upstairs. It doesn't feel good.

The Nanjing Tulou Scenic Area is mainly composed of three parts: "Tianluokeng Tulou Group", "Yuchang Building" and "Tasha Village". Tianluokeng Tulou Group (commonly known as Four Dishes and One Soup) is the main attraction. It is one of the representatives of Hakka Tulou with its rare Tulou. In addition, Yuchang Building is unique in that it has stood for more than 700 years and has the Jiangnan water village style of Tasha Village. This scenic area has a very rich sightseeing landscape that will not make you tired of it. It is worth staying for a day or two to savor it carefully.

It is not as well preserved as Yongding, but it feels closer to the atmosphere of the market.
