[2025 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for Taxia Village (Updated Mar)

Taxia Village it is a small village with a stream flowing in the center of the village. If you visit Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster you might as well explore around until you reach Taxia village. You can see the river while you are driving it is just along the road it's like a narrow road. It is indeed a narrow one so better be more careful. You can see hills and small bridges in this village. It is a beautiful village I suppose. The villagers seem living this place so peacefully and calmly. We just seized that moment and enjoyed the time of being surrounded with nature and being in a quiet place. It was a great experience. #tripinspired #tripmoments #chinatravel #chinabeauty #chinavillage #explorechina #tripcom

Take a leisurely walk in Yunshuiyao and Taxia Village in Zhangzhou and feel the two completely different atmospheres.

Next to the ancient plank road, there are rows of souvenir shops with hawking sounds coming and going. In front of the traditional earthen buildings, there are many photo check-in points. The original quiet charm has been diluted a lot. The pure simplicity of the past seems to be hidden in the bustle. In comparison, Taxia Village is as peaceful and peaceful as a paradise.

Among the scattered earth buildings, the elderly sit at the door and chat about home affairs, and the children laugh and chase. Time slows down here. While walking, the breeze blows through the hair, carrying the fragrance of earth and vegetation, as if you can hear the whisper of time.

Before the large tourist groups arrive, you can quietly appreciate the tranquility of Yunshuiyao in the morning light. Focus on visiting a few classic earth buildings to avoid the peak crowds. In the afternoon, we went to Taxia Village and found a bed and breakfast by the stream. We walked along the river bank in the evening and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

#familytrips2024 The family trip to Taxia, Fujian, was a picturesque adventure filled with vibrant cultural experiences. We strolled through ancient streets lined with traditional houses, marveling at the intricate woodcarvings and colorful decorations. The highlight was exploring the famous tulou, massive earthen dwellings built by the Hakka people centuries ago. We shared laughter and stories over delicious local cuisine, creating cherished memories against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery. As for our next dream destination, I envision us venturing to the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. From the dramatic fjords of Milford Sound to the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, it promises an unforgettable journey immersed in natural beauty and adventure for the whole family.

This place is part of the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster scenic area, serving as an essential path to reach the earth buildings. Most people wouldn't pay much attention to it, and we would have missed this pure land of little bridges and flowing water if the owner of the Wenchang Building Homestay hadn't informed us beforehand! Taxia Village is located at the foot of the mountain of Tianluokeng Tulou. A stream meanders through the middle of the village, with ten stone bridges crossing the river. This 'paradise on earth' is a typical Hakka settlement! Along the river, the earth buildings are nestled against the mountains and water, with more than fifty square and round Tulous. Yude Building and Shunchang Building are located on both sides of the stream, forming a Tai Chi-like pattern when combined with the stream, and viewed from above, they create an 'S' shape. Hence, Taxia Village is known as the 'Tai Chi water town'. More than thirty small and exquisite blue brick buildings are scattered throughout the narrow valley, many of which have been transformed into distinctive homestays, integrating into the lives of the local villagers. Perhaps this is the most charming aspect of staying in Taxia Village. Before summer arrives, the firefly forests here also become a scenic highlight! Don't miss it if you're staying at a homestay! Additionally, Taxia Village boasts intangible cultural heritages such as Hakka puppet shows and Hakka Tulou construction skills

The third attraction in the Nanjing Tulou scenic area, which charges an admission fee of 90 yuan, is Taxia Village, also the last attraction. The Tianluokeng Tulou cluster, Yuchang Building, and Taxia Village are all located on the same provincial road, so it's impossible to go in the wrong direction by car. Upon entering Taxia Village, at first glance, it resembles the water town model of Zhejiang and Hangzhou, with two mountains flanking a river, and residential buildings constructed along the creek. The difference here is that the residences are various forms of earthen buildings, especially the national heritage protected sites in the village such as Deyuan Hall and Shilongqi, which showcase the Hakka culture's preservation and inheritance of the Central Plains culture. After visiting Taxia Village, if you continue north along this provincial road, there is another attraction within the Nanjing Tulou scenic area, the Hekeng Tulou site, which charges an additional 40 yuan for access to the viewing platform and entrance to the Hekeng Tulou cluster. We went up to the viewing platform and had an overview of the Hekeng Tulou cluster.
