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 !

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.

Fujian Yongding Tulou Wang Chengqi Lou is the world's largest tulou. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is a huge, strange shape, antique, full of rich local architecture. High four to 6 story walls made from local materials, including earth, stone, bamboo, and wood.

Visit this World Heritage site is a must for visitors who come to Fujian. Unlike the other Earth buildings, there are no commercial displays inside the building. The structure is well preserved and it is a eye opener to learn the living style of the Hakka people.
