It's easy to overdose on Tulou scenic spots, especially if you spend a couple of days touring the various scenic areas. The Tianluokeng scenic area offers stunning landscapes and more authentic experience of Tulou life compared to some of the other 'themed' Tulou attractions. Two days sightseeing is sufficient to get a real taste and feel for Tulou culture, especially after youve visited 2 to 3 different clusters. There are some lovely guest houses. We stayed at the Nanjing Tulou Culture 1949 resort. Aside from the family friendly rooms and Instagramable decor, the honestly cuisine is incredible. Travelling as a family of 6 with 3 young children, a private hire car was a must and makes visiting Tulou attractions both convenient and allows you to go at your own pace. Our driver was local to the area so was able to take us to some less busy sights and give interesting insights. the Tianluokeng Cluster is a beautiful place and once you navigate past the usual street vendors and eateries, you can absorb daily life in and around the cluster. the high viewing platform is a must for the classic cluster photo of '4 dishes and 1 soup'. #tripblazers #awesomepic #bucketlist #instagramworthydestinations we we #awesomepic#china#nationalpark

The Fujian tulou (also known as earthen building) are rural dwellings in the mountainous areas in China. They were constructed between the 12th and the 20th centuries, and unique to the Hakka. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fujian Province is in southeast China, north of Guangdong Province. The Hakka only built tulou in Fujian. A tulou is a large building, constructed with load-bearing rammed earth walls. It is used as a residence by a group of families. Tulous have three or four floors: the first floor for kitchens and dining rooms; the second floor for grain stores; and the third and fourth floors for bedrooms. In the past, tulous played a significant role in protecting the Hakka from attacks. Residents could easily mount an all-round defense, and the vulnerable entrances were strongly reinforced.

My boyfriend and I rented a car for 2 days to look around Zhangzhou. We went to Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster which is one of Fujian's landmarks. We paid 180rmb for 2. Getting there was quite exciting at the same time a bit risky because of the road?! When we got there and saw the buildings, I think they are cob buildings shaped like beautiful plum blossoms. Some locals are selling some stuffs. You can see some shops and restaurants. We even decided to have our dinner there since trip coming back would take as long. Big servings of food we couldn't finish it. As you move down the mountain path, the changing viewing angle seems to make the buildings interesting. They look great especially when the weather is fine. It's a great place to take pictures or shall we say Instagrammable views around. Here are some photos I took. #tripinspired #explorechina #tripmoments #historicallandmark #fujian #chinatravel #scenicspotguide

Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, which consists of four rotundas and a square tulou in the center, is an arrangement of location that represents the recycling derivation of the Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth) in ancient Chinese philosophy. This distinctive composition of architectural structures and shapes, receiving a commendation as "a unique, legendary rural construction model in the world" from the UNESCO, has been a symbol of Fujian Tulous and become one of the Scenic Villages of China and Villages of Chinese History and Culture as well. #urbanexplorer

Hidden attractions in Fujian: Tianluokeng Tulou Group. mentioned Fujian, the first time everyone thinks about it is the photo of Gulangyu. The small island is sunny, warm and humid, and is very popular with tourists. In addition to enjoying a slow life in Gulangyu, Fujian has a small attraction not to be missed. It is the earth building of Zhangzhou. Before the fire of the anime "Big Fish Sea Bream", few tourists visited. Tulou is a building constructed of earthen walls, which are round, semi-circular, square, etc. The earth building was initially square, and considering the ventilation and lighting, it evolved into a round shape with the final rain and dew. Generally for a large family to live, the building can store food, raise livestock and even have necessary facilities such as water wells. This kind of design considers the home while taking into account the defense. The earth building is like a sturdy big fortress. If you encounter an enemy attack, you only need to close the gate. The guards will be guarded by several young and old people. Cangzhou's rich bamboo shoots, fresh bamboo shoots taste smooth and juicy, is a must-have farmer's dish. After the spring rain, the bamboo shoots yield is particularly good, and the bamboo shoots are dried, which not only locks the original flavor of the bamboo shoots, but also facilitates storage and transportation. I deliberately experienced a night of earth building life. The room is the oldest window, the original civil structure, the sound insulation is not good, the ear of the early morning is filled with the voices of various neighborhoods and cockpits, but this is the original country life. In the dead of night, about three or five friends are talking on the candlelight night, quite charming.

Attracting us to choose the Nanjing Tulou, it is mainly the four-story building of the earth building. Some people say that like plum blossoms, some people say that they are like flying saucers, and there is a more grounded "four dishes and one soup". It takes about three kilometers to drive from Yuchang Building. There is a viewing platform on the middle of the road. You can park from the opposite angle. Then suggest to go directly to the observation deck, overlooking the panorama, and finally drive back to the village entrance parking lot, enter the interior of the earth building, and then climb from the village channel to the observation deck to see the night scene, and meet the right weather. Go see the fireflies. Dwelling in the interior of the Tulou group at night, there are no outsiders except for the individual tourists who live here at night. The residents in the earth building or chatting or cooking, the air is a leisurely and fragrant smell, but also the taste of life.

Finally saw the Fujian Tulou from my schoolbooks! 🏮 The same divine circular buildings featured in "Big Fish & Begonia" - dream come true! The "Four Dishes and One Soup" tulou cluster in Zhangzhou's Tianluokeng looks like it walked straight out of a painting! Reality is 100 times more breathtaking than photos!

Coming back from the Fujian Tulou, my phone album literally "exploded"! Those round, giant "sweet donuts" actually hold the Hakka people's 600-year-old life secrets—an old lady drying bamboo shoots in the courtyard, the bluestone paths etched with the cracks of time, even the evening breeze carries an "ancient flavor"~ Compared to the hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots, this place feels like a secret realm forgotten by time, every snap looks like a cinematic forest masterpiece! 🌍【Travel Blind Box: Unlocking N Ways to Explore the Tulou】 • For travelers from other provinces: Fly to Xiamen Gaoqi Airport → transfer to high-speed train to Nanjing Station (1.5h) or Yongding Station (2h). While on the train, the mountain scenery outside the window shifts from lush green to dark blue, like watching a healing documentary 🌿! • For local travelers: High-speed trains from Fuzhou/Xiamen go directly to Nanjing Station, where there is a direct shuttle bus to the scenic area (20 RMB/person). The driver uncle chats about "Tulou stories" and even knows which place has the best boba taro buns~ • For self-driving travelers: Navigate to "Yunshuiyao Scenic Area," the whole route is like a "moving wallpaper"! I was driving my little white car and couldn’t help stopping halfway to take pictures of wildflowers, only to be teased by my traveling sisters for "delaying her taro bun eating" 🤣~ 📸【5 Must-Visit Photo Spots! Your posts will blow up on social media】 1. Tianluokeng "Four Dishes and One Soup" Viewing Platform (Drone a must!) The "traffic star" of the Tulou world! The moment the drone takes off, the round buildings look like a spilled dessert plate🍮~ I was out of breath climbing the viewing platform, but when I saw the sunset gilding the Tulou edges, I screamed: "This trip was worth crying for!" 2. Yuchang Lou "Leaning Tower" (Second-floor window frame = natural light panel) The building has been crooked for 700 years but hasn’t collapsed! Standing at the second-floor window frame to take photos, my skirt was blown up by the cross breeze, and my friend laughed saying I looked like I was shooting a "Harry Potter" magic tower scene 🧙‍♀️~ (Friendly reminder: the stairs are super steep, I almost fell and became a meme…) 3. Yunshuiyao Ancient Banyan Tree (5 PM = backlight magic hour) The same scene as in the movie "Yunshuiyao"! Squatting under the ancient banyan tree, letting the sunset dye my hair golden✨, the creek water at my feet is cool~ Nearby, an old lady sells bamboo tube rice, the roasted aroma mixed with mugwort scent fills the atmosphere to the max! 4. Chengqi Lou Circular Corridor (Spin around and shoot = movie heroine) Standing in the circular corridor spinning around, my skirt fluttered into a whirlpool🌪️, the rough texture of the old walls pressed into my palm, as if touching the 600-year folds of time~ (Secretly: the corridor echoes are amazing, I shouted "Tulou I love you," and laughed at my own echo~) 5. Chuxi Tulou Cluster Rapeseed Flower Field (March exclusive golden blast) Come in spring! The golden sea of flowers surrounds the round buildings like a "fairy tale castle" 🏰~ I ran in a light blue dress but got chased by bees (so unfair.jpg), but the photos looked like screenshots from a Studio Ghibli animation! 🍲【Hakka Food Bomb! Eat till you can’t walk for 15 RMB】 • Taro Bun: QQ bouncy like "ballet dancing" in your mouth, crystal skin wrapped around savory filling, eating three in a row is just right! • Beef Ball Soup: Handmade beef balls can really "bounce ping pong balls" 🏓! I tried bouncing one, and it almost flew out of the pot… • Bamboo Shoot Braised Pork: Tulou exclusive mountain delicacy! The bamboo shoots soak up the meat aroma, biting into it "juices burst," paired with rice is simply divine🍚~ • Qingming Cake: Mugwort fragrance mixed with crushed peanuts, a spring-exclusive "sticky happy" treat 🌿! 💡Recommended Yunshuiyao·Guangming Restaurant: Sitting under a century-old banyan tree eating, the old lady will proactively refill your tea, sunlight dances through the leaves onto the bowl, giving you the feeling of "the life you long for"~ 🏡【Sleep inside a Tulou! Even dreams feel like "Big Fish & Begonia"】 • Du Lv·Hede Lou (Nanjing): A century-old Tulou converted into a starry sky room ✨! Lying in the bathtub counting stars, waking up at midnight to insect sounds but feeling safe—the old walls’ breathing sounds like a lullaby💤. • Qingpu Cultural Inn (Yongding): Butler service + intangible cultural heritage tie-dye experience! I clumsily dyed an "abstract painting" and was surprisingly praised for my "artistic sense"🤣~ At night, watching a candlelight intangible cultural heritage performance left me speechless! • Yunshui Ancient Path Sketching Base (Yunshuiyao): Open the window to see a small bridge and flowing water, waking early to shoot morning mist, the owner handed me a cup of Hakka rice wine, warming my heart~ • Tulou Prince Hotel (Hongkeng Village): Modern rooms with viewing balconies! At night, holding a beer watching the Tulou night view, the magical clash of ancient and modern, who understands it🍻~ • Huazhu·Fuxing Lou (Chuxi): The window opens to terraced fields and a sea of clouds! I overslept and missed the sunrise but caught the mist rolling over the Tulou, like stepping into a fantasy drama scene! ⚠️【Blood and Tears Tips! I’ve stepped into these traps for you】 1. Clothes: Wear light colors + Hanfu/cotton-linen skirts! I wore dark colors and disappeared in photos… 2. Shoes: Must wear flat shoes! The stone paths tortured my toes, I wore sandals and almost limped back to the hotel🚶‍♀️ 3. Mosquito repellent: Mosquitoes throw a "wild party" at dusk, the red bumps on my legs still "commemorate" it… 4. Combo ticket: 90 RMB combo ticket (Tianluokeng + Yuchang Lou + Taxia Village) is super cost-effective! Don’t buy separately, big loss warning⚠️ 5. Customs: Don’t step on door thresholds or touch farming tools randomly! When an old lady smiled and reminded me, I was so embarrassed I almost made a "Tulou model" with my toes… 6. Best shooting times: 7-9 AM / 4-6 PM, the light is like a "fairy filter"! Photos taken at noon make me look like I’m pressed on a "lighting board"… When the Tulou’s arched doors close, time slows down to the tune of Hakka folk songs… Here, history isn’t cold words but the old lady’s drying bamboo shoots, the cracks in the old walls, and the smoky warmth in the evening breeze. Don’t wait, the next person to be "madly obsessed" with the Tulou could be you!

The Zhangzhou Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster is a unique cultural treasure of Fujian. These tulou structures boast distinctive designs that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Walking into the tulou cluster feels like stepping back in time, experiencing the wisdom and resilience of the ancestors. Each tulou is either circular or square, surrounding an inner courtyard, showcasing strong defensive features and family connections. Inside the tulou, ancient wooden beams and rugged stone steps bear the marks of history.

Finally managed to see the tulou buildings first hand. It was a truly amazing. Mid april seems to be a good time to go as there was almost no other tourists around. Firstly we saw the Taxia building that is more than 700 years. The tulou is 5 stories tall and people still live here they say. Mainly older people left as the young people have moved away for work and the kids are in boarding schools according to the lady giving us the tour inside. After this we saw the Tianluokeng. It’s super cool from the outside and there are viewing platforms below and on top of the buildings. We stayed in a homestay in a Tulou. It was a super cool experience that we will remember for life. So happy to finally have seen these cool buildings and neighborhoods in Fujian province. #familytrip #localguides #china #fujiantulou

Inside the adobe houses, you can still see the old way of life. The cool air along the walkways and stone courtyards makes you feel that time here is slower than outside.🏕 In the middle of the village, there are many giant banyan trees by the river. Each tree is hundreds of years old, spreading its branches wide and strong and majestic.🌳 If you have time, try staying in the village for a night.

Watch the uncles and aunts cooking and washing dishes, the flock of chickens pecking for food, the little dogs running back and forth between the piles of wood and the old adobe houses, or sit and watch the slow stream reflecting the sunlight in the morning.🏞 Forget about the stories outside for a while. Bring your body and mind to relax here~❤️ #travelchina #yunshuiyao #zhangzhou #nanjingtulou
