After the park car will drop you, by left side of the road behind the public toilet there is a patch to the viewing point from where you can see the entire village just need to climb a little bit for it and then can go down to the village to see it from inside. The park ticket will cost you 65元、 but it will also allow you to go inside of the main building, which well renovated and open for visitors. It can be a nice place to take some photos and also know better the way how buildings are designed inside, since this one is for tourists only and nobody leave there. Otherwise at others buildings you can see people who really is leaving there. It also a nice part of the trip to watch the local people way of leaving and also try their local herbal tea with them. At some buildings you also can find available rooms to stay for some nights to enjoy the peaceful time and escape for your crowded city life routines. There is also a river which is going through the village and which bring refreshing air.

The place give a chance to have a little camping experience, but at the same time with hotel comfort. The tent has a standard hotel bathroom and a small balcony from which you can see the river and the entrance to Yongding. Especially at evening time guests can see a part of the light show.

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

The circular structure of the Tulou gives a sense of warmth and stability of home, while the Zen space of Ruriko-in Temple allows one to let go of worries and find inner peace. From the rustic simplicity of the Tulou to the minimalism of Ruriko-in Temple, such a journey reveals the cultural diversity in spatial design.

My friends keep asking me about this place where it snows. The food in Longyan is underrated! I'm not exaggerating! I ate digestive tablets while eating skewers! Because it's so delicious! So many people recommend Chaoshan, Zhangzhou, and Quanzhou food, but no one goes to Longyan! I'm in Xiamen, but my taste buds are still in Longyan! Fresh ingredients! Clean and hygienic! Great atmosphere! Highly recommend the grilled rice cakes! Some people can eat seven at once! The most amazing thing is that the sauce is homemade! When I went back to Xiamen, I brought a jar of their sauce with me. The key is that it can snow! Super photogenic! If you're in Longyan in December, go for it!

🌈Highlights: The local Hakka tulou lifestyle is very unique. You can experience the warmth of living with a big family here. There are mountains, water, and fields. The tulou has stood for hundreds of years through wind and rain, protecting the family. 🚗Transportation: The transportation is inconvenient. The Hakka people moved here from inland during the Tang and Song dynasties to avoid war. They chose remote mountain valleys. It is best to drive or join a one-day tour in Zhangzhou or Xiamen. 👍️Must-see attractions: Choose one or two of the three. They are similar, and you may get tired of them. The main thing is the experience. 🚩Queue tips: If you want to avoid the crowds, December and January are the best times. It will be a bit cold, but there are not many people. You can take photos for a long time. 💗Other tips: It will be cold in the mountains, and the weather changes a lot. If you are afraid of the cold, bring more clothes. There are many mosquitoes, so bring mosquito repellent.

🚗 On the third day of our Longyan trip, we visited the Fujian Tulou Prince Scenic Area, which was a very meaningful day. 🏠 Tulou is a traditional building unique to the Hakka people. The round tulou looks like a flying saucer and is very special. The Hakka people live here, which can not only resist foreign enemies, but also feel the power of family unity. The tulou in Yongding Longyan is also very famous. The Fujian Tulou Prince Scenic Area is a World Cultural Heritage Site and a national 5A tourist attraction. Here, we visited the Zhencheng Building with a history of more than 100 years, which is very distinctive. ☑️ The scenic area also has a comedy theater where you can watch and experience the intangible cultural heritage of Hakka puppet shows. ☑️ At the Dulu Shengheng Building B&B, you can make and taste taro buns and delicious beef balls. ☑️ At the rammed wall experience area, you can experience the national intangible cultural heritage of tulou rammed wall skills. ☑️ At night, there is also a "Dream Tulou 3D Immersive Night Tour." ☑️ At the Huanxing Building, you can watch the Fujian Tulou intangible cultural heritage song and dance drama "Guest." The performance is beautiful and wonderful, which is a feast for the eyes and ears. There are also fireworks, bonfire parties, and other activities, which are very lively.

|Another hidden gem of a tulou cluster. There are so many tulou in Fujian, so why choose Chuxi Tulou? Because it is the most niche, least popular, most primitive, and least commercialized tulou cluster. More importantly, this tulou cluster is really beautiful, especially the mountain viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire tulou cluster built on the terraces, which is amazing. After the National Day holiday, it feels like you have the whole scenic area to yourself. Before entering the tulou cluster, you will pass a small stream, and hear the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, which makes you feel like you have entered a paradise. There is also the oldest tulou with a history of more than 600 years - Jiqing Building, which has various ancient exhibits inside, and is well worth a visit. The best viewing spot in the scenic area is on the mountain opposite the tulou cluster. You can climb to the pavilion along the trail in just over ten minutes, where you can see the entire tulou panorama. 🌈Recommended tulou nearby: Yongding Tulou King, Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster (Four Dishes and One Soup), Yunshuiyao, Hekeng, Yongding Tulou Prince Scenic Area 🏠Basic information 👑Name: Chuxi Tulou Cluster 📍Address: Chuxi Village, Xiayang Town, Yongding District, Longyan City, Fujian Province 💰Admission: CNY 65/person, CNY 10/person to go upstairs ⏰Opening hours: 8:00–17:00 🍀Travel photography and shop exploration, visit niche travel destinations🍀 ❤️Continuously updated, like and follow if you like it❤️
