Scenic area that is walkable from end to end. Can complete in half a day. If travelling with elderly people that cannot walk much, it is possible to engage a certified guide at the entrance for 100 yuan for a group. The guide can provide transport depending on what they have (scooter/ car) to bring you from attraction to attraction. We visited the main attractions in less than 2 hours with a car. At the end of the tour, the guide suggest for you to drink tea at their "home" as a way to bring you to a tea shop.
I went during a time when it wasn't peak season, and the scenery was still quite nice. The Tulou (earthen buildings) have a strong sense of history, and there are quite a few of them, although there were far fewer than during peak season. It was mostly tour groups there. It's still worth visiting if you have some free time.

📍Tianluokeng: A classic example of Fujian Hakka Tulou (earthen buildings)
The tulou cluster mainly consists of one square building, three round buildings, and one oval building, namely Buyunlou, Zhenchanglou, Ruiyunlou, Hechanglou, and Wenchanglou. Buyunlou is in the center, surrounded by the other four. Built according to the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) in a generating cycle, it is known as a "world architectural wonder."
We were lazy and didn't want to climb the 700 steps, so we just took photos at the upper and lower viewing platforms.
It was nice to see the small villages we passed along the way [grinning face].
📍Yuchanglou: Built in 1368, Yuchanglou is the oldest existing Hakka tulou. Its most distinctive feature is its pillars, which are leaning precariously, with a maximum tilt of 15°. Despite appearing to be on the verge of collapse, it has withstood 700 years of erosion and earthquakes.
The building has five floors and 269 rooms. The ground floor kitchen contains 22 wells, making it the tulou with the most wells in Fujian. 📍Taxia Village: An ancient village nestled in a mountain valley, with a babbling brook flowing through it, very tranquil.
📝Driving into the scenic area, parking is not a problem as it's not crowded outside of holidays.
The main meal consists of four dishes and one soup. It's best to just look around and take photos from the upper viewing platform.
You can drive to three parking areas.
Upper Viewing Platform
Village Entrance
Lower Viewing Platform
Actually, it's enough to see the whole view from the upper viewing platform. Entering the village and the buildings doesn't really give you much of a feeling. Looking around from the lower viewing platform is also okay.

- Observation Deck: Enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the "Seven Stars and the Moon" formations of the Hekeng Tulou complex. The Tulou blend seamlessly with the lush green mountains, waters, and rural scenery, creating a fairyland-like scene.
- Square Tulou: Like Chaoshui Tower, these buildings feature tall, thick exterior walls constructed from rammed earth. The interior is organized and neatly arranged, with the ancestral hall at its center and rooms surrounding it.
- Round Tulou: The representative building, Yuchang Tower, boasts a unique shape. Its internal corridor pillars are rickety, yet it has stood firm for centuries, earning it the nickname "Crooked Tower," a name steeped in mystery.
From the viewing platform across the road from the village, you can see the whole view of the village, but you have to climb a flight of stairs and the signboard is not very obvious. It was the off-season when we went there, so we didn't see many tourists. We took a quick look around and found that most of the people living in the earth buildings are elderly people. Some of the earth buildings are not well preserved and have collapsed, which is a pity. How to protect the earth buildings is really a thorny issue. If you have been to Four Dishes and One Soup, you can skip this.
