Yongding Tulou

Yongding Tulou, also known as Yongding Hakka Tulou, is located in Yongding District of Longyan City in the southwestern part of Fujian Province. Spread over 2,200 square kilometers of land in Yongding, there are more than 20,000 earthen buildings, among which nearly 5,000 are large structures with three floors or more, and over 360 are circular buildings. About one-third of these date back to before the Qing Dynasty, with nearly 3,000 being particularly representative. In July 2008, the Fujian Tulou, with Yongding Hakka Tulou as the main component, was inscribed on the 'World Heritage List'. In April 2010, Yongding Tulou was awarded four Guinness World Records for being the 'oldest, most numerous, largest, and tallest'.
