[2025 Longyan Stay] Travel Guide for Yongding Earth Building Duilu · Shengheng Building World Heritage Home Stay (Updated Jun)

At around nine o'clock in the evening, carrying the fatigue of the day, we drove into the Fujian Tulou Hakka Folk Culture Village. Unexpectedly, we were able to drive directly in this late, saving the trouble of buying tickets. With our headlights illuminating the way forward, we followed the winding road to our destination for the night - Dulu Yongding Tulou · Shengheng Lou World Heritage Homestay. 🏠 Modern Art within a Tulou This homestay is a prime example of transforming traditional Tulou architecture into a modern artistic style. Upon entering the lobby, you can feel the refreshing sensation brought by water, the main design element. The water surface reflects the outline of the homestay, creating a captivatingly beautiful scene. Not only does it preserve the original features of the Tulou, but it also incorporates modern design concepts, making you feel as if you've traveled through time and experienced a unique rural culture. 🌿 A Perfect Blend of Nature and Humanity Every design detail of Shengheng Lou reveals the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity. A large amount of natural wood is used for both interior and exterior decoration, which is not only environmentally friendly but also adds a touch of warmth. The duplex room design is particularly noteworthy, with each floor having a door leading to the outside corridor, allowing you to enjoy the courtyard scenery at any time. This design not only adds to the fun of living but also brings guests closer to nature. 📸 A Paradise for Photography Enthusiasts For photography lovers, this place is simply paradise. Whether it's the moment when the first rays of morning sunlight sprinkle on the Tulou, or the Tulou under the starry night sky, every scene is worth capturing. The hotel environment is particularly evocative, and the tranquil atmosphere is perfect for taking pictures. Every click of the shutter captures a unique and beautiful moment. 🍽️ A Home-Away-From-Home Breakfast Experience Although the breakfast selection is not extensive, each dish is prepared with great care. Simple ingredients are meticulously cooked, resulting in surprisingly delicious flavors. Sitting by the window, enjoying a delicious breakfast while admiring the scenery outside, feels just like the warmth of being back home. ✨ If you come to Fujian Tulou, you might as well choose to stay at Shengheng Lou World Heritage Homestay and experience a unique Tulou journey. In addition to the charm of the hotel itself, the surrounding attractions are not to be missed. For example, Zhencheng Lou, only 830 meters away from the hotel, is a must-see. Even if time is limited, we still recommend you take the time to visit. The architecture and cultural displays there will make your trip worthwhile. In addition, Huanji Lou and Fujian Tulou Prince Scenic Area are also good choices. Each place has its own unique charm, worth exploring at your own pace.

The homestay is directly converted from an earth building, so you can naturally get a full view inside, and look up at the sky in one glance. That feeling is indeed quite unique. It's neither the peak tourist season nor the weekend, so there aren't many people, which is just right for us who don't like crowds and seek tranquility. Before the sun sets, we stroll around the scenic area, trying to experience the mindset of those who lived here in the past. At this time and place, everyone will have different experiences and insights. After a hearty meal, we walk around the building, up and down, and all around. Various compositions, various lights, various angles ~ I believe everyone can try to find the most suitable and favorite shots. Tired from walking, we brew a pot of tea in the quaint room, flip through photos, and chat about everything under the sun. As night falls, we lay ourselves down contentedly and drift into a peaceful sleep... Breakfast is nothing more than homemade porridge, various rice cakes, paired with fresh plums, red-hearted sweet potatoes, local eggs, and some spicy pickles. The colorful spread lifts our spirits and whets our appetite. All of this, you deserve to have.
