Tulou - Authentic Experience Ancient China

Getting There - We flew to Xiamen and then got a train to Nanjing railway station (not nanjing station) and then a taxi driver picked us up there and took us to the hotel. The taxi was 200RMB. Attractions - Tianluokeng Tulou cluster. One day is enough to enjoy the attraction, but its magical! The Fujian tulou (earth buildings) are Chinese rural dwellings unique to the Hakka in the mountainous areas in southeastern Fujian, China. They were mostly built between the 12th and the 20th centuries. Hotels - We stayed at Wind Bridge Hotel. Its located near a river in a small village. You can take a car to the attraction site. The hotel is nice, minimalist, built with stones but very comfortable. They provide meals but we suggest bringing snacks. Food & Restaurants - Its a short trip, but we really enjoyed a popular restaurant near the river on the way to the attraction. All locals know about it you can just ask! Shopping - You can buy some tea and local food produced in the region inside the Tulou houses directly from the locals. Some souvenir shops also available around the attractions. Duration: As the area is a bit remote you will need: One full day to arrive. One day to explore. One day leaving the region. Perfect for a weekend trip; Friday to Sunday. #china #weekendretrip #tolou #naturalwonders #unescoworldheritage
