Just back from an insanely pho

Just back from an insanely photogenic day trip exploring the best of Fujian: Nanjing’s Yunshuiyao Scenic Area and Longyan’s iconic Hakka Tulou! ☀️🌾 Think lush countryside walks, epic sunshine, and jaw-dropping World Heritage architecture.

Top Spots to Visit:
1. Yunshuiyao Scenic Area (607 County Road, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou)
Open: 08:30-17:30, Admission: ¥90
Step into a movie set vibes—quaint old bridges, rivers, ancient banyans, and rows of unique tulou villages. The weather was perfection so get there early for golden hour photos and beat the crowds.

2. Hakka Tulou (龙岩市永定区河滨路农村信用合作联社南侧约240米)
Massive earthen fortresses under open skies—these circular buildings are seriously next-level architecture! Stroll around, soak in views of wildflowers and green fields, and peek inside local homes to get a taste of Hakka culture. Everyone’s super friendly if you want to chat or snap pics.

Pro Tips:
- Wear comfy shoes—expect a decent walk between tulou clusters and rustic footpaths.
- Bring a hat & sunscreen: the field views are stunning but there’s limited shade.
- If you get peckish, snack on tulou peanuts or try the famed local stuffed tofu at nearby village eateries.
- Public transport is doable: buses from Xiamen/Nanjing to Tulou areas run regularly, but booking a car via trip.com makes it way smoother.

Key Essentials:
- No visa required for most, but always double-check.
- Cashless/mobile pay accepted everywhere.
- Best time: sunny spring or fall for chill weather and lush landscapes.
