Yunshuiyao | Went once, do not recommend anyone to go (Warning)

After finishing the Xiamen trip, we headed to Zhangzhou🚗 🙋‍♀️Summary of the Yunshuiyao experience: Tickets cost 90 RMB (10 RMB per person to go upstairs). There are two tulou buildings, Huaiyuan Lou and Gui Lou, a waterwheel, and an ancient banyan tree. The overall experience was average with no highlights. ▪️Repeated ticket checks, chaotic management ▪️Highly commercialized, the first floor is filled with Yiwu small commodities ▪️No official guides, the cultural heritage is completely wasted 📝Tulou are cultural treasures that hide the history of Hakka migration and clan wisdom, but this "5A" scenic spot has no official explanation or historical education. Walking around, you only see earthen walls, which feels dull and uninteresting. Question: Does the infrastructure and service of the scenic area justify the ticket price? Overall, the cost-performance ratio is low and the experience is poor. Yunshuiyao is not recommended!! · 🙋‍♀️After Yunshuiyao, we rushed to Tulou King to find the home of Chun from "Big Fish & Begonia." There are two relatively large tulou buildings in the scenic area: Qiaofu Lou and Chengqi Lou. 🛖Qiaofu Lou, also called "Doctor's Building," costs 10 RMB to go upstairs for a visit. It is recommended to come after dark, with red lanterns adding charm, making the ancient building more atmospheric. 🛖Chengqi Lou, also called "Tulou King," is the largest and has the most rings among Hakka round tulou. You can pay 20 RMB to take photos at the popular spot (no access upstairs; locals charge for helping take photos). 🤫👀【How to go upstairs at Chengqi Lou, Tulou King?】During the day, every entrance is guarded and patrolled irregularly. To go upstairs, you have to wait until 8 PM when the guards finish work. ⚠️Be quiet and step lightly upstairs as there are still residents living inside. Take photos quickly and come down soon. ⚠️The regular ticket only allows one entry per day, so be cautious when going in and out. 📝Overall, it’s more fun than Yunshuiyao. If you want to see tulou and feel the shock of Fujian tulou, Tulou King is worth a visit!! If you have enough time, strongly recommend Chuxi Tulou, which I got interested in on 🍠! Next time, I will definitely go to Chuxi. 〰️〰️〰️

Had an amazing time in fuzhou and xiamen! What is great about China is that it’s super modern but still manages to maintain and preserve its cultural heritage. Fujian had a lot to offer - from the nature sceneries, traditional Chinese culture infrastructures to amazing, mouth watering local dishes! It is also super safe! You can walk alone at night without worry! You can carry your gadgets while walking without worry! Public transportation is also smooth and very affordable. Their taxis or Didi are also reliable. You can just go through places using their Baidu Map, it has all the directions you need to get to places.
