Visiting the Hidden World of the Great Family in the Mountains - Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster
🚙 Setting off from Zhangzhou city, my northern friend and I drove to Nanjing County to visit the famous Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster - 'Four Dishes and One Soup'.
🌴 As we were about to reach Tianluokeng, we turned off the spacious highway onto a winding mountain road, and my northern friend marveled at how green the mountains are in the south.
👉 However, the already narrow mountain road was lined with parked cars, which made us nervous. As expected, it was time to start the holiday mode of searching for a parking spot.
👉 We moved up the mountain at a snail's pace with the traffic flow, and finally, we reached the entrance of the scenic area without finding a place to park. But just then, a car parked by the road drove away, and my easy-going northern friend carried on the excellent Minnan tradition of 'no pain, no gain', saving us from a two-mile walk.
👉 At the entrance of the scenic area, we could look down at the depression where the Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster is located. The Tulou Cluster finally came into view, spectacular and mysterious against its naturally privileged terrain.
👉 The Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, is one of the best-preserved Tulou clusters in Nanjing County. We walked down the steps to the foot of the Tulou, feeling the simplicity and grandeur up close. Inside the Tulou, which is about three or four stories high, the square Tulous mainly have a courtyard layout, while the round Tulous show a unique rotational symmetry structure with crooked wooden stakes. In the center stands a temple, leaving a deep impression. Words like ancient, solemn, crisis, deity, and totem came to mind.
👉 The residents inside the Tulou conduct tourist business while living their daily lives, with dining tables set up outdoors. We ate several dishes cooked by a Hakka grandmother in a round Tulou, which tasted quite good. My northern friend ate two bowls of rice by himself, and the picture shows the local specialty vegetable, Buddha's hand squash. The grandmother also invited us to visit the second and third floors.
🚙 The scenic area is not large, and we finished our visit in less than half a day, including mealtime. Friends with more time can also visit Huaiyuan Lou, Yuchang Lou, and Yunshuiyao. We were already heading towards the sunset at Dongshan Island.
The attractions are beautiful, the newly built scenic roads are very good, but there is no bus to Tianluokeng, so you must take a sightseeing bus. The Tulou attraction in Tianluokeng has an upper and lower observation deck, which is very suitable for viewing and taking pictures
Visit Yunshuiyao Ancient Town and come to Tianluokeng Tulou Group. Not far from the earth building. The earth building is well preserved. It is worth visiting. There are not many people in the off-season. Unfortunately, it rained that day. I didn’t have a good time. I’m a little sorry.
It is still very special. The chartered car went, the master brought 2 observation decks, and also went to the Tulou to visit, and saw the big mouse. Ctrip is convenient to buy tickets directly, no need to change tickets, just brush the ID card, no need to get off the bus.
It always feels like a scenic spot, the commercial atmosphere is not so strong, but after entering the earth building, the locals began to sell local products, we did not buy anything, spent ten yuan to find a local explanation, Yuchang Building is three or four minutes away, it feels like reciting the lines, it is better to listen to the detailed voice on the Internet. In short, the experience was not planned very well.
A must-check in place for a trip to Zhangzhou! There are many traffic and people during the holiday. It is strongly recommended to enter the mountain at night. The night view and the sky full of stars are very amazing! Visiting order: upper viewing platform, four dishes and one soup, lower viewing platform, east and west! If time permits, it is recommended to have dinner in the building and feel a strong local atmosphere!
Beautiful and beautiful, worth a visit. We drove from the east gate and walked along the stream. There were many buildings, similar to the same. The classic was the east and west crooked building and four dishes and one soup. You can climb from the observation deck to the building and then climb to the observation deck.
Tianluokeng Tulou is also relatively unique. The floor height of the earth building is large. The earth building that does not want to be Yongding is located in a relatively open and flat mountain. The mountain road that enters the scenic spot is also relatively steep. Four dishes and one soup are worth seeing.
Long Yangtian Luokeng Tulou "Eryun Sanchang", especially the "four dishes and one soup" under the night, is very lively, tourists are like weaving, vehicles are long, the commercial atmosphere is strong, the scenic spot has discounts for teachers, thank you for your respect.
