Visit the real-life version of Big Fish & Begonia - Fujian Tulou

Drive to Zhangzhou Ancient City, stay overnight nearby, have a late-night snack, and sleep. The next morning, head straight to Tulou (self-driving is recommended, as it is over 100 km away. Alternatively, stay near Tulou or just pass by for a visit, which takes about 3 hours). According to reviews, Chuxi Tulou is well-preserved and not overly commercialized. I found this to be true. Upon arrival, head to the viewing platform for a panoramic shot. There are many local restaurants in the scenic area. You can try them out. They are authentic, but don't expect much from the environment, as they are located in the mountains. The Tulou is indeed well-preserved. One of them is accessible, and the other two are still inhabited by locals. It is a return to simplicity. I had a good time, and my child, who has watched Big Fish & Begonia, was excited to see the scenes from the animation.
