Cultural Escape🌿

Step into a living storybook at Fujian (Nanjing) Tulou Scenic Area! 🏯✨ Skip the usual Shanghai and Beijing crowds—here you’ll discover centuries-old earthen homes, vibrant Hakka culture, and a warm local welcome nestled among rice fields and rolling hills.

Must-dos: Sample home-cooked Hakka food in a family-run kitchen, and try your hand at traditional handicrafts (watch for local workshops). Explore different tulou types—the iconic circular ones are the stars, but don’t miss the rectangular “Weiwu” too.

Visiting tips: The area is spread out, so wear comfy shoes and bring water. Local minivans are the best way to hop between clusters. Weekdays are quieter—perfect if you want photos minus the crowds. Language barrier? No problem—smiles, gestures, and translation apps go a long way!

Precautions: Paths can be slippery after rain and the buildings are still home to locals, so be respectful about noise and photography indoors. Summer brings heat and the occasional downpour—pack light rain gear.
