• Chuxi Tulou - After breakfast, your private guide will meet you in your hotel lobby. Relax in a well-maintained, air-conditioned, non-smoking private vehicle for a 3-hour journey. Your knowledgeable Tulou travel guide will share insights about the history of the Chuxi Tulou (Hakka Earth Buildings), the lifestyle of the Hakka people, essential facts about the earth buildings you will visit, and other important information for your tour.

Upon arriving at Chuxi Village, you will first visit the observation deck for a panoramic view of Chuxi Tulou, which was once mistaken for flying saucers or a missile base by foreign intelligence. After crossing the Chuxi River, you will visit a local Hakka family for a traditional Chinese lunch. Enjoy the local Hakka cuisine and their special homemade rice wine!

• Hakka Culture Village of Yongding - After lunch, you will explore the Jiqing Building, which boasts a history of over 580 years. Experience the unique wooden stairs, constructed without a single nail. Next, visit the “Hakka Folk Museum” inside the building to learn more about the Hakka people, local customs, and the Hakka Earth Buildings.

After leaving the museum, continue to explore other buildings with various shapes, such as the square Shengqing Building, round Shanqing Building, Gengqing Building, and hexagonal Gongqing Building.

You will also have the opportunity to visit the local primary school in the village and interact with the students.

After the tour, enjoy a relaxing ride back to Xiamen in the comfortable vehicle. You will be transferred back to your hotel, airport, train station, or any other location in downtown Xiamen, such as a restaurant or bar, if you wish.
