It’s all about community in the Fujian tulou; these rural dwellings are an incredible traditional feature of Fujian province, where both round and square earthen structures seemingly rise from the ground. Built between the 12th and 20th centuries, they’re usually large and enclosed buildings with only one or two entrances, and can house up to 800 people! I spent a three-day weekend exploring a number of these old structures, wandering the wooden hallways of memorialised Tulou, as well as witnessing how locals still live their day to day lives in these Tulou buildings. 📍Fujian Province #qingmingtravel

After 48 hours, you will see the Yongding Earth Building in Miyazaki's "Big Fish Sea Bream". After watching the big fish sea otter, I will go to see the real earth building. The director of "The Big Fish Begonia" said: "We should find the most mysterious building in China as much as possible to let people go to the state like ancient China." So I found the mysterious Fujian earth building.

📍Yongding Tulou · Tulou Prince Scenic Area Because I stayed at the nearby Yuntuji Hotel 🏨, it was very convenient to get in and out. However, this entrance doesn't have a staffed ticket booth, so visitors need to purchase tickets 🎫 directly on the platform. To better understand the Tulou culture, I hired a tour guide at the recommendation of the hotel owner for CNY 100 per tour. Through the guide's vivid explanations, I gained a more concrete understanding of the history and culture of Yongding Tulou. The main attraction within this scenic area is Zhencheng Lou, known as the "Prince of Tulou." Of course, there are many other unique Tulou buildings within the entire scenic area. The entire area operates on a single-ticket system, and as long as there are no special family events taking place inside a Tulou, you can enter and visit. The scenic area sells evening tickets, which are not eligible for any discounts. However, if you don't leave the scenic area before 6pm, you can directly enjoy the night view and lighting without purchasing additional tickets.

💟Preface I was really on vacation. I came here for only one purpose - Yongfu Taipin Sakura Tea Garden. The rest of the time I was here to experience the local people's pace of life and food. So if you want to see a special travel guide, you may not need to read the life content, just go directly to the Sakura Tea Garden section. 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Longyan/Zhangping 🏠Accommodation: Morning Mu Ning Fashion B&B (Dayang Wenyuan) Some units in the building are still under renovation, so it is a relatively new B&B with self check-in. Most of the people living here are locals, and from the evening until after 10 o'clock in the evening, you can see nearby residents walking their dogs downstairs while digesting their food. The community has security guards and registration is required for entry and exit, so the safety factor is very high. I must say, the cleaning here is super! Dry! net! As a person with mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, I don’t have any problem at all. I just wipe the table with my fingers and there is not even a trace of gray left! And there is no peculiar smell in the room, which is really satisfactory. The only thing to note is that there are mountains nearby, so it's normal to have a lot of mosquitoes, but there are electric mosquito repellent in the room ❤️When I came here, it was early March and the temperature was still a bit cold, so I didn't turn on the air conditioner. I pulled the mosquito net on the window and kept the window open, which would be much better. 💆🏻♀️Massage recommendation: Xiangyue Head Therapy (Wanbao Branch) 💰Average consumption per person: ¥114～¥128 / 60 minutes Every time I come to the mainland, I must experience a massage. This time I chose a head massage. I recommend the super decompression treatment. I slept very well that night after it! ! ! Later, a week after I went home (I washed my hair three times), I could still smell the faint scent of Chinese medicine. It really became addictive. The boss said they also have a branch in Guangzhou, and friends who are interested can go and experience it. 🍜Special food: 1. Wanbao Plaza 💰Average consumption per person: ¥13～¥16 There will be a night market in the evening, and the whole street will be full of snacks. I bought the pancakes from a deaf-mute brother and sister’s shop, and the portion was super big! This one must be quite famous. While I was standing there waiting, I noticed that there were more than one pancake shop nearby, but most of the locals came to buy it. Since the boss and his sister are deaf-mute, you need to point at the menu to communicate with them when placing an order, which is no problem at all👍🏻 2. Quanbing Third Generation Clear Soup Noodles 💰Average consumption per person: ¥17～¥25 There are many branches, the price-performance ratio is very high, and the portions are very large. Clear soup noodles are a common food among the locals here. For someone like me who is allergic to seafood, many of the Fujian-style Minnan dishes are actually not acceptable to me. For someone like me who prefers light taste, clear soup noodles are a good choice. All side dishes can be freely matched 🥰 3. Chatting Tea🧋 💰Average consumption per person: $17 ~ ¥22 I forgot whether it is limited to Longyan or Fujian, I heard that there is no such store in other places. The main feature is that everything can be crushed into crushed ice 😆 which is quite delicious. I drank it twice in the three days here haha ​​😂 You know, I usually don’t like smoothie-like desserts, but this one really broke my inherent impression of smoothies. If you don’t know what to order, just order the signature Shui Yu Zhen milk tea with crushed ice. If you don’t like sweet things, you can ask for no sugar when placing the order like I did. 📍Attractions: Yongfu Taipin Sakura Tea Garden 🚕Transportation: Carpool (yes, I’m a person who has no sense of direction and would never take the bus if I can take a taxi) 💰Average consumption: ~¥70 💡Notes: 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! 🚫Don’t follow my example and buy a package! (Important things should be said three times💢) 🗓️Route: Enter through Entrance 1 - Follow the recommended route at the entrance - Exit through Exit 2 ***The scenery along this route will be better. ✅If you are not in a hurry, just buy the ticket. 💟If you don’t want to waste time and want to see the highlights of the tea garden as soon as possible, you only need to buy a ticket + a small train. It only takes about ten minutes to take a round trip. (I don’t recommend buying the big train regardless of whether you are in a hurry or not) ✅There are a few snack stalls in the park. If you don’t want to bring food with you, you can buy food after entering / eat more for breakfast, and go to Yongfu Town for dinner after the tour / bring a little dry food. 📌Notes The cherry blossom tea garden is actually not very big, and there are not many cherry blossoms. There are just a few cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the aisle, so don't have too high expectations. It takes about two hours to tour the entire garden, and if you go slower it may take about three hours. Friends who are more prone to mosquitoes should remember to prepare mosquito stickers and mosquito repellent spray before traveling. #SakuraSeason #XiamenFood #XiamenLongyan #Longyan #YongfuTaipinSakuraTeaGarden #leisurelife #solotravel #solotravel #localexperience

Speechless at the beauty of the Fujian Tulou Cluster! When my feet truly touched this land, and I witnessed the Fujian Tulou Cluster with my own eyes, I finally understood the meaning of "a scene that should only exist in heaven." The tulou buildings, round or square, stand quietly amidst the mountains and rivers, like giant works of art naturally growing from the depths of the earth. The outer walls of the tulou bear the clear marks of time, their rough textures telling stories of centuries of wind and rain. Stepping inside feels like entering another dimension. The round tulou buildings expand outward from the ancestral hall as the center, interconnected ring by ring. Every wood carving, every brick and tile within the building embodies the wisdom and ingenuity of our ancestors. Walking inside, you can feel a strong sense of life; the greetings between neighbors and the laughter of children add a touch of warmth to these ancient structures. The tulou cluster is not only an architectural marvel but also a living family history book. Families with different last names thrive in their respective tulou buildings, passing down unique cultures and customs. Here, time seems to slow down, and every moment allows you to touch the warmth of history. If you also love the beauty of history and nature intertwined, don't miss the Fujian Tulou Cluster! Believe me, the awe it inspires will become an unforgettable part of your memories.
