Yongding Tulou

Yongding Tulou Waking up in the morning, the sun is shining. As planned, we set off for Meizhou, and visited Yongding Tulou on the way. What we saw along the way: 1. Old Tulou group. 2. New use of old Tulou. 3. New buildings imitating Tulou. There are three points of interest. From an architectural perspective, Tulou is a rammed earth wall building, mostly for defensive needs. The walls are more than one meter thick, the first and second floors cannot have windows, and accordingly cannot be inhabited. The first floor is the living room, kitchen and bathroom, the second floor is for storage, and the third and fourth floors are for living. When one household builds it, it must be grouped and followed, so it is often in groups. The volume of Tulou is between Kaiping Diaolou and Western castles, but the techniques are completely different, which is indeed a great invention of mankind. In terms of enclosed area, square has a large area, and the internal division is easy, so ordinary families can enjoy it. The circumference of the circle is short, but the internal space division needs to be on a large radius to be reasonable, so it is mostly used by large families. Longyan has more than 300 round earth houses and more than 2000 square ones. The Zhencheng Tulou we visited this time, in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the wealthy businessman Lin Renshan passed away, and his son Lin Hongchao, a designer, inherited his father's business, personally designed and supervised the construction. The round double circle is 10 meters high and divided into four layers, with a diameter of about 60 meters. The outer circle is divided into eight residential courtyards, and the inner circle courtyard is used for guests. The separation of the family courtyard uses the traditional solid brick mountain wall technique. The south side of the outer circle opens the main door, and the inner circle has an outer hall (official hall) and an inner hall (ancestral hall), and the north of the outer circle opens the incense hall, forming the main axis of social interaction. There are corridors running through the inner and outer circles, Yin and Yang two wells, and they are connected to the ear rooms on the left and right, forming a line of life and production. Convenient and practical. From a sociological perspective, the ancient county yamen were all small governments, and family governance played an important role. Zhencheng Building is inhabited by four Lin brothers, who pass on farming and reading, have a strong family style, and each hall hangs plaques and couplets, which can be savored carefully. The couplets engraved on both sides of the gate: "Doing national affairs, reading sage books". The couplet in front of the official hall: "Zhen is a family voice, it's good to be filial and fraternal; some achievements, starting from diligence and thrift". There are two on the inner wall of the official hall: one is Lin Hongchao's own book "Speech and behavior, good roots of blessings"; the other is "People have always been respectful and long-lived, and the articles have always been correct and surprising". The couplet of the Guanyin shrine in the back hall: "Zhen brushes the spirit and participates in the mysterious truth; Cheng achieves the fruit of Bodhi. Observe at will." The couplet of the back hall: "Zhen works, there is no leisure time, young time, strong time, old time, always need to work hard; Chengming is not easy, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything needs to be cared about." From the perspective of cultural relics, Zhencheng Building is one of the four earth buildings in Yongding that have obtained national key cultural relic protection. It is not the oldest or the largest, but it is the best preserved; and the official hall and ancestral hall are all Western-style, with unique styles. Lin Hongchao once served as a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of China and a member of the Central Committee of the Republic of China, with a wide range of social interactions. The plaque "Li Dang Guan Xing" engraved on the door lintel was written by Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China. The couplet in the official hall "People have always been respectful and long-lived, and the articles have always been correct and surprising", is from the hand of Hui Shiqi, a famous scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

Hakka Capital

Fujian Longyan City, Changting County, "Beautiful Tingzhou, the Capital of Hakka". It seems like everywhere claims to be the capital of Hakka; it's like South Africa, which has three capitals. During the Tang Dynasty, Fujian had five prefectures: Jianzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou, which is how Fujian got its name. Changting is a national historical and cultural city, with the Southern Song Dynasty Wolong Academy (first four pictures), ancient city walls, etc. The last two pictures are of red cultural relics; Chairman Mao once stayed and drank well water here.

The Moments are blowing up! It's really in Fujian, in Changting, Longyan

Following the trend on Little Ctrip has been the most successful ever😍😍, and it turns out to be in Changting🤩🤩! International friend Louis Aly once said: 'There are two of the most beautiful towns in China, one is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the other is Changting in Fujian.' Changting today is truly breathtaking😍, and definitely worth a visit!! ⚠️However, be aware❗❗ Do not come to Changting during public holidays😭😭. Take my advice😣! During the holidays, Changting is not only crowded👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, but accommodation prices are outrageously high!! What usually costs 100 yuan could go up to 500-700 yuan😱. Changting is small, and a two-day weekend trip is enough👒. Let me, a native of Changting, tell you how to play and eat here~🎉🎊. I've got all the strategies for food🥘, transportation🚌, accommodation🛏, and attractions✨! - 🚇Transportation: Take the high-speed train to , and from there you can take a taxi🚕 or a bus to the city center, which takes about 10-15 minutes. If you're driving🚗, just head to the city center, find a place to park, and then you can walk around. The city center is small, taxis are hard to get during holidays, but there are many shared electric scooters🛵, which are very practical, and I recommend cycling. - 🏠Accommodation: The county town is not big, and it's convenient to stay anywhere. As long as you are in the main urban area, a taxi ride to anywhere will basically cost you 10 yuan🤑. However, many homestays can't be reached directly by car, so I personally recommend staying in a hotel🏬. - 🏞Attractions: Here are a few must-visit spots. ✅Jichuan Gate: Climb the city gate and take in the night view of Tingzhou🎇. ✅Dafudi: The number one carved building in Fujian, truly lives up to its reputation👍. ✅Tingzhou Baxi Hall: Showcases the eight great joys of Hakka life🎊. ✅Wolong Academy: Features Huizhou-style architecture donated by Jackie Chan, better to visit during the day🌞. ✅Diantou Street: A charming ancient street with lots of snacks and specialties🛍. ✅Sanyuan Pavilion-Museum-Tingzhou Examination Hall-Confucian Temple: All on one line, you can stroll along and check in📸. ✅Dingwuling: A Hakka mountain fortress, a village without mosquitoes for a thousand years🦟. ✅Qu'aoli Wharf: The Tingzhou wharf, with a southern charm. - 🎫Tickets: Except for Dingwuling and Qu'aoli Wharf, other attractions do not require tickets. A combo ticket for four attractions is 88 yuan per person. - 🍱Food: Hakka cuisine is endlessly delicious😋! Here are a few of my favorite Hakka restaurants and snack shops. ✅Xunwei Tingzhou, ✅Shengquan Snacks, ✅Chengqiang Fried Potato Cakes, ✅Xuancheng Boji Board, ✅Laoke Wei, ✅Baxi Courtyard, ✅Qixing Restaurant, ✅Axiu Clear Soup Noodles, ✅Old Store Dry Steamed Meat, ✅Qinhui Nan Food Restaurant... - 🛣Itinerary: ✔Day 1: Arrive in Changting at noon→Have lunch on Shuidong Street→Visit attractions inside Taiping Bridge and Dongda Street in the afternoon→Jichuan Gate→Diantou Street→Sanyuan Pavilion→Wolong Academy→Diantou Street for dinner→Stroll again at night to enjoy the night view🌃. ✔Day 2: Take a taxi to Dingwuling or Qu'aoli Wharf, return to the county town for lunch, and buy some Changting specialties like dried tofu in the afternoon🎁. ⚠️Friendly Reminder: Do not drive yourself to Changting during holidays, park your car at the hotel, and then use shared bicycles for transportation🚲.

Longyan's most beautiful snow scenery is here!! No counter-arguments accepted!!

Ahhh!!! I was deceived by Changting's snow scenery!! How can it be so beautiful!! I heard this is the heaviest snow Changting has had in over a decade. The snow in the ancient city area melted by noon. I only arrived in the afternoon and went straight to Dingwuling. Friends who want to see the snow, hurry up

I regret not coming to Fujian earlier

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

Chuxi Tulou Cluster | Arriving at the Divine Enclosure

When visiting Fujian, the Tulou is a must-visit, if you're tired of the crowds at the 'King of Tulou' and 'Four Dishes and One Soup', then consider visiting the Chuxi Tulou Cluster, hailed as 'China's most beautiful Tulou cluster', built over hundreds of years from the Ming Dynasty to the present, it is the settlement of the Xu family, and also the most primitive and Hakka-culture-rich Tulou in Yongding district. There are few tourists, and it's very pristine, simple, and natural. - The Chuxi Tulou Cluster consists of five circular buildings and dozens of square buildings, with main types including rectangular, square, circular, hexagonal, etc. The names of the buildings in the Chuxi Tulou Cluster all contain the character 'Qing', symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The unique architectural style and ancient charm of the Chuxi Tulou Cluster reflect high aesthetic and historical value, showcasing the wisdom and creative talent of the working people. - ⭐️⭐️Tips: ✅Many people still live in these Tulous, offering a rich atmosphere of daily life, incomparable to the commercialized Gaobei Tulou Cluster. ✅You can visit the buildings, and it's recommended to hire a guide, so visiting someone's home won't be awkward. ✅The surrounding area is picturesque, especially the stream at the entrance of the village, where standing on the stepping stones above the stream makes for great photos. ✅Walking into the village, there's a primary school and a square, surrounded by residential houses, giving off a vibe from the 70s and 80s of the last century, feeling like a journey through time. ✅Suitable for self-driving, you can drive directly to the village parking lot, which also offers a great view of the Chuxi Tulou Cluster. ✅There are many homestays in the village, but the conditions are very basic. If you like this kind of environment, you can stay for a few days and have a great experience. - ⭐️⭐️Key attractions of the Chuxi Tulou Cluster: ☑️Jiqing Building consists of two concentric circles, with the outer circle's top layer featuring 9 watchtowers and multiple staircases.

Chuxi Tulou

Chuxi Tulou Group is the most primitive and most Hakka cultural Tulou in Yongding District, known as 'the most beautiful Tulou Group in China'.

Heed advice and succeed! The experience of the Chuxi Tulou in Yongding is excellent!

Originally planned to navigate directly to "Yongding Tulou", the hotel front desk recommended Chuxi Tulou saying there are fewer people, so I searched online and found out that "Yongding" is the name of this area, everyone is Yongding Tulou, and indeed many netizens say that Chuxi has fewer tourists. - After arriving, it felt like a deserted scenic spot... There were probably only twenty or thirty tourists, and when we left the scenic spot at 5 o'clock, there were only two private cars left. - Hired a guide to lead the way and learned that it was because it was further from Zhangzhou and Xiamen, Zhangzhou/Xiamen would rather plan a day trip to Gaobei Tulou (Tulou King/Chengqi Building), Hongkeng Tulou (Tulou Prince). If you come to Chuxi Tulou, you have to spend an extra hour round trip. So Chuxi is relatively quiet, and there is not much commercialization, which is very suitable for those who want to take pictures. - The Jiqing Building in the scenic area is a reference in "Big Fish Begonia", the red carpet scene comes from Jiqing Building, and Jiqing Building is also a rare Tulou in the nearby Tulou group that can go upstairs directly. The residents of the entire building have moved out and the building is open as an exhibition hall. - P 1-2: Viewing platform perspective P 3-4: Check in Big Fish Begonia P 5-6: Outside of the Tulou and viewing platform P 7: Jiqing Building P 8: Big Fish Begonia scene P 9: Outside of Chengqi Building - But the lights are not turned on at night in Chuxi Tulou, the guide said that the lights are turned on at night in Gaobei Tulou/Chengqi Building, Hongkeng Tulou, and the tradition of coming here... I have to take a night scene of the same style as Big Fish Begonia, and drive half an hour to Gaobei Tulou, paid a little "sanitation fee" to the local aunt to take me upstairs, but I was a bit disappointed, the movie is computer-made, it is impossible to reproduce 1:1 in reality, adjusted multiple angles, focal lengths, it is hard to find a satisfactory one. - When leaving, I took a turn, and indeed Gaobei/Hongkeng is more commercialized, the scenic area gate outside Zhencheng Building/Huanxing Building is a rustic light show, the tourist center to Gaobei Tulou are all restaurants, tea shops, and locals will also sell tea and cigarettes. - Commercialization is an effective way for locals to increase income, and it can also meet some of the catering and shopping needs of commercial groups, but excessive commercialization inevitably affects some people's travel experience. - "The places we used to go to were archaeological sites or palaces and temples, but the Tulou is different. For the people living here, the Tulou is their home."--Bankruptcy Brothers - Tips/Summary: 1. The lights are not turned on at night in Chuxi Tulou. But the Jiqing Building in Chuxi Tulou is uninhabited, and there will be no residents' laundry in the picture when taking pictures. 2. The play time in Chuxi Tulou is about 2 hours, it is recommended to arrive before 3 o'clock at the latest. It takes about 75 minutes to drive from Longyan city. 3. There is basically no public transportation, it is recommended to drive/rent a car to go. 4. Gaobei Tulou/Chengqi Building is free to enter after the security guard gets off work at night (the restaurant owner nearby said the time is 8.20). Enter through the tourist center gate after parking. 5. Forget about staying in the Tulou... The local aunt took me to see it, it's a bit tough.
