🏯 Where Earth Walls Hold Generations – Fujian Tulou, China

#postandearn 📍 Fujian Tulou, Nanjing & Yongding Counties, Fujian Province, Southeastern China — scattered across the mountains southwest of Fuzhou Fujian Tulou are ancient earthen fortresses unlike anything else in the world — round or square, massive yet humble, built by Hakka and Minnan people as shared family homes and protective sanctuaries. These structures, some over 700 years old, rise from rice fields and misty hills like grounded moons. Inside the thick, clay-packed walls, life continues as it did centuries ago — communal kitchens, ancestral shrines, and generations under one roof. Walking into a tulou is like stepping into a living time capsule — silent, earthy, and deeply human. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Visit Chengqi Lou or Tianluokeng Cluster — two of the most iconic examples • Stay overnight in a tulou guesthouse to feel the heartbeat of daily life • Ideal for cultural travelers, photographers, and seekers of ancient wisdom • Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for exploring the hills • Learn a few phrases of Hakka if you can — it adds warmth to every encounter #FujianTulou #HakkaHeritage #EarthHouseChina #AncientChina #LivingHistory #UNESCOWorldHeritage #ChinaHiddenGems #SlowTravelAsia#familytrip #historicallandmarks #travel #历史古迹 #trip
