General presentation
Tulou du Fujian
Large collective houses of land occupy valleys and hakka villages in the mountainous interior of Fujian.
Chuxi Tulou Group, Chengqi Tulou Group and Tianluokeng Group give the most telling landmarks of Fujian Tulou. Together, they form a destination where the countryside, heritage and mountain reliefs meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Groupe de tulou de Chuxi
Chuxi gathers large circular and rectangular tulous in a still cultivated valley. The viewpoints and alleys allow to understand the collective scale without entering each dwelling. The beginning of the day usually offers more calm.
Place indismissible
Tulou de Chengqi
Chengqilou has several concentric rings organized around a central courtyard. The building remains inhabited; photography and circulation must respect daily life. The beginning of the day usually offers more calm.
Place indismissible
Groupe de Tianluokeng
Tianluokeng forms a famous composition of four round buildings around a square tulou. The gazebo gives the overview, but the descent into the village reveals materials and uses. The beginning of the day usually offers more calm.
Village
Village de Taxia
Taxia follows a stream between tulou, bridges and ancestral sanctuary in a narrow valley. One night in the area avoids a reduced circuit to the panoramas alone. The beginning of the day usually offers more calm.
