Day 2 Xiamen to Nanjing County to Xiamen

Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster will be your first stop of the day. Consisting of four round earthen buildings and one square building, it is considered one of the best-preserved and most magnificent Hakka fortress communities. Your guide will explain who built these Tulou, how they were constructed, and why their defensive design was so effective. You will also visit a scenic viewpoint overlooking the entire cluster.

▶Yuchang Tulou

Built in 1308, Yuchang Tulou is one of the oldest surviving Tulou in Fujian. This five-story earthen building is famous for its leaning wooden pillars, with the most tilted pillar leaning at a 15-degree angle. Known as the “Leaning Tulou,” the building hides many fascinating architectural secrets that your guide will help you discover during the visit.

▶Visit the Hekeng Tulou Cluster

Hekeng Tulou Cluster is one of the six Fujian Tulou groups listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, yet it remains less commercialized and preserves authentic local life. Many Hakka families still live inside these uniquely shaped Tulou buildings today. The cluster was also used as the hometown setting in the movie Mulan.

During your visit, friendly local residents may invite you into their homes to explore the upper floors, enjoy a cup of local tea, and hear stories about their family traditions. This offers a rare opportunity to experience genuine Hakka culture and daily life.
