- Yun Shui Yao Ancient Town - Nestled in the picturesque countryside of southern Fujian, Yunshuiyao Ancient Town enchants visitors with its timeless allure. The smooth cobblestone path, worn by countless footsteps over the centuries, meanders through a serene landscape, bordered by majestic thousand-year-old banyan trees and babbling streams. As the backdrop for the film “Yunshuiyao”, the town radiates a serene tranquility, where every rustling leaf and murmuring stream seems to tell tales of the past, merging pastoral beauty with deep nostalgia.
- Hegui Building - Renowned as the tallest tulou in Nanjing County, Hegui Building is a testament to ancient engineering prowess. Constructed on a swamp, it has stood resilient for centuries, supported by over 200 pine piles driven deep into the mire as its foundation. Inside, the intriguing “Yin-Yang Wells”—one crystal clear, the other murky—remain a scientific enigma, adding an air of mystery to this architectural wonder. More than just a residence, it symbolizes the Hakka virtue of harmony, standing as a silent testament to the clan’s enduring spirit.
- Huaiyuan Tower - A masterpiece of tulou craftsmanship, Huaiyuan Building is an elegantly designed double-ring circular tulou. Its heart lies in the “Sishi Room”, the ancestral hall at the center of the inner courtyard, adorned with intricate wood carvings depicting traditional Hakka family mottos. Every aspect, from the symmetrical structure to the delicate decorations, reflects the Hakka people’s respect for heritage and pursuit of elegance, making it a living showcase of Hakka culture.
- Zhangzhou Ancient Building - A thousand-year-old treasure in the heart of southern Fujian, Zhangzhou Ancient City perfectly preserves the street layout from the Tang and Song dynasties and the original Minnan style. Bluestone-paved roads wind through the town, where arcade buildings, ancient residences, and historic shops stand side by side, exuding a lively atmosphere of daily life amid curling cooking smoke. It is not only a living museum of Minnan architecture but also a paradise for food enthusiasts and intangible cultural heritage lovers. Here, visitors can stroll along the Ming and Qing ancient streets to explore historical relics, savor authentic local snacks like hand-held noodles, and enjoy intangible cultural heritage performances such as bag puppet shows. They can also choose a paid professional Nanyin performance, immersing themselves in the melodious tunes of this “living fossil of Chinese music”, and embracing the gentle blend of thousands of years of history and modern daily life.
- Zhangzhou Tianluokeng Village - Known for its iconic “four dishes and one soup” layout, Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster is a visual spectacle set against lush mountains and clear waters. A square Buyun Building stands at the center, surrounded by four circular tulous, creating a harmonious and striking landscape. Nearby, Yuchang Building—dubbed the “Crooked Building”—features tilted wooden pillars above the third floor yet has withstood earthquakes for over 600 years, a testament to ancient architectural ingenuity.
- Yongding Earth Building - Home to two of the most famous tulous, Yongding Tulou Cluster is a treasure trove of Hakka architecture. Zhencheng Building, the “Prince of Tulou”, seamlessly blends Chinese and Western styles, featuring exquisite carvings and a sophisticated Bagua layout. Chengqi Building, the “King of Tulou”, is a grand structure with a 73-meter diameter and four concentric rings of houses, capable of accommodating over 1,000 people, perfectly embodying the Hakka tradition of clan communal living.
