A trip to Fujian without visiting the Tulou is a wasted trip.

The ultimate guide to Fujian Tulou. Read it and set off! Preliminary preparations Documents: Prepare your ID card. If you have discount certificates such as student IDs or senior citizen cards, bring them along to save money. Clothing: Choose clothing according to the season. Take sun protection measures in summer and bring light and breathable clothing. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter; a thick coat is essential. Other items: A pair of comfortable sneakers for long walks; a power bank in case your phone runs out of battery; and rain gear to cope with changeable weather. Transportation guide External transportation: First arrive in a city in Fujian, such as Xiamen or Zhangzhou. Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport and Zhangzhou Station are easily accessible. Internal transportation: From Xiamen, Zhangzhou, and other places, you can take a special bus to Tulou at the local passenger station, or you can choose to sign up for a local one-day tour group, which is more convenient with bus transfers. Attractions Yongding Tulou: Famous Tulou buildings include Zhencheng Lou and Chengqi Lou. The former is a model of the integration of Chinese and Western Tulou styles, known as the "Prince of Tulou"; the latter is grand in scale and known as the "King of Tulou". You can spend 1–2 days exploring them. Nanjing Tulou: The Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster is composed of square and round Tulou buildings, which look like a plum blossom from above, which is very spectacular. The pillars of Yuchan Lou are tilted but still stand, which is very interesting. The whole tour takes about 1–2 days. Food recommendations Mei Cai Kou Rou: Not greasy, the aroma of Mei Cai is integrated into the meat, and every bite is super satisfying. Tulou Bamboo Rice: The rice has the fragrance of bamboo and a soft and glutinous texture. Hakka Stuffed Tofu: Tender tofu is filled with meat filling, and the taste is mellow. Accommodation recommendations Tulou B&Bs: Staying in a Tulou allows you to experience Tulou life in depth, but the number of rooms is limited, so it is best to book in advance. Surrounding hotels: The accommodation conditions are more modern, with a variety of prices to choose from, and it is equally convenient to travel. Things to note Plan your itinerary in advance. The Tulou attractions are scattered, and reasonable arrangements can improve the efficiency of your visit. Pay attention to safety when visiting. The stairs of the Tulou are steep, so the elderly and children should be extra careful. Respect the living habits of local residents, take care of the Tulou buildings, and do not scribble or graffiti.
