Fujian (Chinese: 福建; pinyin: Fújiàn; pronounced [fǔtɕjɛ̂n] ( listen)), formerly romanised as Foken, Fouken, Fukien, and Hokkien, is a province on the southeast coast of mainland China. Fujian is bordered by three provinces: Zhejiang to the north, Jiangxi to the west and Guangdong to the south, along with Taiwan 150 km to the east, across the Taiwan strait. The name Fujian came from the combination of Fuzhou and Jianzhou (a former name for Jian'ou) two cities in Fujian, during the Tang dynasty. While its population is chiefly of Han origin, it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse provinces in China.

I went to Kuliang again with my family to escape from the downtown summer heat not long ago. We were guided by the clear signboards all the way along towards Kuliang Scenic Zone after we had driven onto Sanhuan. We parked our car on the parking lot of Cryptomeria Cypress King Park and walked towards Kuliang Old Street which started at Yingyuehu Park and ended at Li Shijia's Villa in a total length of 800m and width of 2.5m-2.6m. It passed many historic buildings, including Kuliang Old Post Office, Wanguo Charity Association, Yangren Swimming Pool and Li Shijia's Villa. The old street had many noteworthy attractions: [Kuliang Old Post Office] Opened in 1902, Kuliang Old Post Office is one of the five famous "summer post offices" of China. It was open after the Dragon-boat Festival and closed after August 15 on the lunar calendar each year. Today, it is not just a tourist attraction because its role as a "post office" is resumed to affix a Kuliang seal for tourists and sell post cards to them. [Wanguo Charity Association] Wanguo Charity Association used to be a rendezvous for foreigners and the only old building with a basement in Kuliang. You can also visit Kuliang Cultural Musuem here.

Interesting to visit the Hakka houses which are communal living house with hundreds of smaller rooms and living spaces for families. Apparently during President Ronald Reagan’s presidency, the satellites picked up these rounded structures and spies were sent into Nanjing / Yongding China to investigate if these were nuclear facilities or missile launch buildings. Only then did they realize that these were villagers living in large rounded tulou !

These fortress-like earth buildings were built to protect the residents from bandits years ago. Very smart and innovative designs even with a special communication system through the thick walls. We were taken there by our private tour guide after a long drive from Xiamen on a rainy day but another local guide took over and gave us a thorough tour of the area. Seeing these tu-lou was one of the reasons we visited Xiamen. Well worth the trip!

This is an awesome village in Fujian province. It is still not easily accessible, so it retains some medieval charm. But that is changing with transportation options expanding . So, hurry before it became super-crowded. A couple of days is enough to get a full immersion.
