In 1995, its architectural model and the Temple of Heaven in Beijing as China's North and South round building representatives to participate in the U.S. L.A. World Architecture Exhibition, caused a sensation, known as the "Pearl of Oriental Architecture". Why did Yongding people follow the gossip to build the earth building? Its historical roots: first of all, the Hakka people migrated from the Central Plains, by the deep influence of traditional Chinese cultural thought, and gossip is one of the classics of traditional Chinese culture, so in the construction of residential buildings, to be used, it makes sense. Secondly, after several generations of broadcasting, in order to survive, they face all kinds of difficulties in nature and society, and gossip since ancient times, it has been used by people to organize their troops to defend themselves against the enemy. From a security point of view, in the design and construction of earth building using gossip, for the wise Hakka people, it is not surprising.

Nanxi's road can also go in the direction of Tianluokeng, along the way you can go to see Luxi side of the tulou. If you don't want to go to Nanjing Shuyang, you can go to see Tianluokeng from Nanxi, and then return to Gaotou, Hongkeng, and Hukeng from Tashita Road. If you still want to go to Shuyang, it is recommended to go back and forth to the Observation Deck, see Hongkeng, Gautou, and then go to Shuyang via Tashita Village and Tianluokeng more smoothly. It is said that the observation deck can see the full picture of the Nanxi Tulou, because of time relations did not go this time, do not know how the scenery, but the gurgling Nanxi water is like a ribbon, stringing up the villages along the way of the seat of the Tulou, a pearl, dotted with small bridges and water, the scenery is very beautiful, it is worth recommending. Fujian Tulou
The westernmost is the octagonal building of Nanjiang Village (Dongcheng Building), which is actually a square building, but the four corners are cut with a small diagonal angle, and is not a positive octagonal shape. There are residents in the building, and there is no admission fee. I really like a small garden building next to the Dongcheng Building, which houses 4 brothers and 7 families. The front door is right in front of a small bridge and water, vibrant and interesting. Then it was a 5-minute drive east to the Huanji Building in Nanzhong Village. There is a health fee of 5 yuan per person, but the building is quite clean. The biggest feature of the building is its strong anti-seismic performance, which has survived many earthquakes in the past 300 years. After an earthquake, leaving more than 3 meters long and more than 1 foot wide crack, due to the centripetal force of the round building and the traction effect of the structure, the cracks are miraculously slowly together, leaving only a long thin crack, and the entire building unharmed, standing tall. The center of the building inside the ring without the set of the shrine, in the center of the ring pole building, stomp your feet or put your voice to call out, singing, you can hear a very obvious echo, as if the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the echo wall. Five minutes further to the east is the Diffractive Fragrance House in Xinnan Village. Yixianglou is situated next to a pool of blue water with a nice view. The pool is called Youhuangtan, which is a miniature reservoir with a small power generator. The layout of the gate of this earth building is quite special, adding a series of peripheral attachments. Hall and outside the building walls, left and right small doors, such as brick and wood carvings are relatively fine, calligraphy and painting on the wall is also relatively exquisite. On the lintel is written "Dafu Di", belonging to a family of poets and scholars. This building is also charged 5 yuan / person health fee, also very clean. Continuing eastward for about 10 minutes, there is Zhenfu Building by the stream. This building is not on the side of the road, and its front door faces the south stream, with the mountain and the water. It has not yet been opened because it has been contracted to be developed into an exhibition hall. It is said that the building used a lot of stone and brick material, carving fine, outside the earth and inside the foreign, Chinese and Western walls, rich and beautiful. Back to Hukeng town. The town can be wrapped small noodles, motorcycle, but also can be accommodated, supplies, food FB. not far from the intersection next to a Mei Lian hotel, facade facilities simple. A big bowl of soup steamed rabbit is only 10 yuan, as well as plum pickled pork, stewed tofu, pickled duck blood ...... taste are not bad. Compared to the next Aqing Hotel, it is really much more real. If you don't go to Chuxi, you can take the [Yongding-Gaotou] shuttle bus directly from Yongding County to reach Hongkeng (Tulou Cultural Village) (9 yuan) or Gaotou (Gaobei Tulou Cluster) (11 yuan). The road between Gaotou and Hongkeng is being repaired with concrete, and it is said that it will be fixed by New Year's Day. There are basically more motorcycles going to and from the area (3 RMB/person). Admission to Hongcun Tulou Cultural Village is 40 RMB. The motorcycle can be brought in directly, but no ticket into the earth building, and once found that someone did not buy a ticket into the village, the security guards will arrange to check the ticket, be driven out of the taste is not good. Hongkeng's tulou like Zhenchenglou, Fuyulou, Kuijulou are still very representative, compared to Chuxi's 50 yuan entrance fee, you can still go in to see. (It is said that in the morning and evening when the security guards are off duty, you can go in to see without paying). Hongkeng can be accommodated, stay Tulou is about 30 yuan / person, transportation is also still convenient. Hongkeng to Gaotou is about 20 minutes away. Gao Bei Tulou Cluster is on the left hand side of the main road when you get to Gao Tou. The most classic, of course, is the Chengqi Building, known as the "King of Earth Buildings". "It is a four-storey building with four circles and four hundred rooms; it is a circle within a circle, a circle within a circle, and it has survived hundreds of years of vicissitudes of life. The Fujian residential stamps are based on the pattern of Chengqi Building. Tickets 50 yuan, you can take the administrator to go home when you sneak in to see (the current administrator's home next to the Tulou), do not have to pay attention to the villagers well-intentioned scare . The Tulou tour is a macro one, looking down from above, and a micro one, wandering around the building. Absolutely classic Tulou will always be a pity if you don't go in to see it. From the direction of Hongkeng past, almost to the Chengqilou road corner, there is a small sign, indicating the direction to the observation deck. Said observation deck, in fact, is a small hilltop. Here you can look down on the village of Gao Bei Tulou group of scenery. Chengqi building next to a round building, called "Qiaofu building", also known as "Dr. building" because of the eleven doctors and famous, the building environment is elegant, is now being developed into an inn, the red lanterns are open at night practically very beautiful, they provide free tea, and then drink Hakka! Sticky rice wine, absolutely worth a stay, in fact, the appearance of the other houses in Gao Bei Village is also very distinctive, you can go around. A short distance past Gao Tou is a fork in the road, with one side going in the direction of Qujiang and the other in the direction of Tashita. Both roads lead to Shuyang, and there are earthen buildings along the way. However, the journey towards Pasha Village is a bit shorter, and the Yuchanglou (East Falls West Building) in Pasha and Banxia villages can be viewed in the direction of Qujiang to see the Seven Star Tulou Cluster in Hukeng first, and then go back and take the Pasha Village. Fujian Tulou Yongding Hukeng Rushenglou
From the fork in the road toward Qujiang about 2-3 kilometers or so, the road climbs to a bend in the slope, the slope has a path down to the village. Here you can see three buildings on the tail end of the Seven Star Tulou Cluster in Hekeng. Road on the left hand side of a path up the slope, has to climb to the high-voltage power line tower there to be able to see the full picture of the Hekeng Tulou group. The village earth buildings are very concentrated, but individually they don't look very special. If you are interested, you can cross a bridge before the road goes uphill and enter the village along the river road. If you have time, you can continue on to Shiqiao Village, where it is said that the various forms of earth buildings, and various distribution patterns can be traced, and is the model for the earth building section of the book "Chinese Folk Architecture". Back to the fork in the road to continue toward the tower. Drowsy, the road turned a bay, a bay of water appeared in front of you, layered spread of flowing water, both sides of the residence at first glance a bit of the flavor of the hammock, the stream across a special style of the long bridge. When you yell for the driver to stop, the driver will tell you: this is the village under the tower. Unlike other villages with large-scale clusters of earthen buildings, the houses here are more like small houses built on the hillside. In the alleys through and through, accidentally through the back door of the house, worried about a big black dog is frowning at you There are people in the production of tea, the aroma of tea lingers half of the village, better than the porch of each family window wall placed in various colors of flowers and plants. Through the village, on the slope at the back of the village is the ancestral shrine of the Zhang family, the Deyuan Hall. This is the best preserved ancestral hall we have seen along the way. The brick carvings on the eaves are colorful, with colorful phoenixes, green dragons, lions, kingfishers, and various kinds of flowers... The wood carvings and lacquer paintings on the main entrance and beams and pillars are all well preserved, finely crafted, and as good as new in color and luster. The reason why this hall belongs to the provincial cultural relics protection unit also lies in the 23 Panlong pillars (21 old pillars and 2 new pillars) standing in front of the ancestral hall. It is a local custom to set up dragon flag pillars for people with merits and virtues, and the flag pillar forests in front of Deyuan Hall are numerous and well-preserved. A few minutes further east of Tashita Village, you will find Yuchanglou in Banxia Village. Yuchanglou is the famous east-tilted building. There is a fee of 10 yuan per person. It is said that this building was built by 5 families, who took turns to provide food for the carpenter who built the building. But because of each other's communication is not very good, so the master carpenter food supply is not very punctual. This offended the master carpenter, so secretly moved. So that the building was built although it can live, slowly 2-3 floors clockwise torsion, while the 4th floor is counterclockwise skewed. Mechanical structure may be just balanced, so hundreds of years have been safe and sound, is now regarded as an architectural miracle. Nowadays, there are still many residents living in the building.
