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

#May Travel Support Fund When I go on a trip, I always bring desserts or souvenirs with me. When I traveled to China, I even bought a carrier to buy various snacks that are not available in Korea. Now, I think I bought a variety of products, such as French cookies, lace, and candies, that are popular in Korea.

#May Travel Support Fund In the provinces of Xiamen and Longyan where I was, there were many places where people would simply eat noodles for breakfast and lunch. The cheap menus only had thick noodles and simple side dishes, while the expensive menus had a variety of side dishes and seasonings, making for a more delicious meal. Also, even in the countryside, there were Starbucks here and there, so it was nice to be able to try the menus available in our country.

#May Travel Support Fund I stayed in a rural village in Fujian Province for a while with a friend who lives in the Chinese countryside. There used to be a simple night market here every night. I bought a lot of skewers here, and there were a lot of skewered dishes made by grilling various foods, from meat to vegetables.

#May Travel Support Fund A small night market was held in a rural village in Longyan, China, where I visited with a friend. There, I could taste various snacks and night food. Here, I could taste the famous shaved ice with Xianchao, then a drink with fruit, and various flower dishes.

#May Travel Support Fund Longjing Tulou in Fujian Province, China is a world cultural heritage site. It is a building that allows you to see how the Chinese have lived since ancient times. It is larger than you think and the tulous are gathered together, making it spectacular. The way they lived in clusters in the mountains was very unique and fascinating.

#May Travel Support Fund Toru in China's Lottery City is a famous tourist destination in itself, but the walking course along the stream and river flowing right in front is also very famous. I think the calm yet fast water flow, like the stream or river in the countryside of our country, opened my heart.

#May Travel Support Fund Fujian Province in China is located relatively far south, so it is a place where various fruits grow. You can often find and taste tropical fruits such as bananas and pineapples. In front of the Toru I visited, there were street vendors selling various fruits. I had a great time tasting the strangely shaped red bananas and the uniquely cut pineapples.

#May Travel Support Fund There was a space in Toruan where you could experience and buy various things. You could buy famous tea leaves here, and you could also experience making handmade cigarettes by collecting tobacco leaves and rolling them into paper. Experience various Chinese cultures while walking around here and there in Toruan.

#May Travel Support Fund In China, there is a traditional and unique building called Toru. This is a building where people have lived since ancient times. Toru, which also appeared in the entertainment show New Journey to the West, is a place with historical and cultural value that is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a place worth visiting at least once when visiting Longyan.

#May Travel Support Fund China has a very well-developed high-speed railway called Dongche. I took the Dongche train from Longyan, a rural area in China, to Xiamen, which took about an hour and a half. The apartment-like scenery I saw while riding the train was different from our country's scenery and was unique and worth seeing.

#May Travel Support Fund I was invited by a friend to a rural city called Longyan in Fujian Province, China, and stayed there for a while. This is a rural area in China, so it has a landscape that Koreans are not familiar with. It feels a bit urbanized, unlike the countryside in our country, but it is not a city, so it was a different kind of place.
