The legend of 'Big Fish & Begonia' is real! How much do you know about the Yongding Tulou?

Tourist Attraction Introduction The oldest and the youngest of the Fujian World Heritage Tulous are both located in Chuxi. Chuxi has a total of 36 Tulous, among which Jiqinglou, Yuqinglou, Gengqinglou, Shengqinglou, Huaqinglou, Xiqinglou, Fuqinglou, Gongqinglou, Fanqinglou, and Shanqinglou are the ten included in the World Heritage list. The types of Tulous here include rectangular, square, circular, hexagonal, etc. The word 'Qing' in the middle of their names signifies prosperity and good fortune in everything. If you have seen the movies 'The Knot' or 'Big Fish & Begonia', you must be familiar with the Fujian Tulous, with their enclosed houses, yellow walls, and black tiles. Climbing high to look into the distance, the centuries of vicissitudes seem to be right before your eyes. There are more than 20,000 Yongding Tulous, rich in history, quantity, scale, and cultural content. 📍Detailed Address: The scenic area is located in Xiayang Town, Yongding District, Longyan City, Fujian Province, at the border between Fujian and Guangdong. 🚉Travel Tips: The scenic area is relatively remote, so it is recommended to drive or charter a car. ⌚️Touring Time: 3-4h 🎫Ticket: 65r, half price for children and the elderly 📷Photo Check-in ① Jiqinglou: The oldest existing round Tulou in Yongding with the most unique structure. It is uninhabited and open for visitors as an exhibition hall of Tulous. It is well maintained and protected, with clean and tidy big red lanterns, free of various traces of daily life, making it very photogenic. More importantly, you can go upstairs freely!! It's perfect for taking pictures~ ② Village Creek: The creek water is clear, and when the weather is good, the reflection of the Tulou in the water is absolutely stunning. ③ Songlian Pavilion Viewing Platform: Located on a small hill opposite the Tulou cluster, it offers a panoramic view of the Tulous. The hill is not high, and you can quickly climb to the top. 📝Note tips: Apart from Jiqinglou, other Tulous are inhabited, and some have signs indicating that visiting is not allowed.
