631***24The scenery is beautiful, and you can also see local stage plays. It's a great place for taking photos. The only downside is that the Tulou is too commercialized. There are stalls and booths everywhere inside, and you have to pay extra to go upstairs to visit.

花过鱼While visiting Yuchang Building, I quite enjoyed the winding village paths that allowed me to fully appreciate the scenery of Zhangzhou villages. I especially noticed the many withered banana trees; I imagine it must look quite different when the bananas are ripe. There were many vendors selling oranges and tangerines along the way, but avoid the wrinkled ones – they won't taste good. For the same price, buy the common Wogan tangerines; they're sweeter here than anywhere else! Yuchang Building is a rather unique earthen building because each floor is different. The supporting pillars of its corridors are all crooked, in a regular pattern. If odd-numbered floors all lean to the right, then even-numbered floors all lean to the left, hence the name "East-Leaning, West-Sloping Building." It can be a bit dizzying to look at, but the structure is actually quite stable. I also felt that the ancestral temple in the square of Yuchang Building was the most simple, without any major renovations, just its original, naturally weathered appearance. Of course, I noticed that I wasn't the only visitor; it seemed like everyone was experiencing aesthetic fatigue: fewer people were taking photos, the visit was rushed, and there was a greater desire to leave. ...When I recalled this, I noticed a photo with a sign saying "Free to Visit the Well." I must have remembered wrong; the kid spitting wasn't at Huaiyuan Tower, but at this Yuchang Tower...

酱螽- Observation Deck: Enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the "Seven Stars and the Moon" formations of the Hekeng Tulou complex. The Tulou blend seamlessly with the lush green mountains, waters, and rural scenery, creating a fairyland-like scene. - Square Tulou: Like Chaoshui Tower, these buildings feature tall, thick exterior walls constructed from rammed earth. The interior is organized and neatly arranged, with the ancestral hall at its center and rooms surrounding it. - Round Tulou: The representative building, Yuchang Tower, boasts a unique shape. Its internal corridor pillars are rickety, yet it has stood firm for centuries, earning it the nickname "Crooked Tower," a name steeped in mystery.
