Fujian Tulou-Qiaofulou, a Hakka Tulou settlement that produces many doctors

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

Fujian Tulou are world-famous, among which Yongding Tulou is the largest and has even won the Guinness World Record. Yongding County has 2,300 Tulou, the most in the world.

This time we visited the "Qiaofu Building", which is also known as the "Doctor's Building" because the family has produced 11 doctors. Qiaofulou is a typical single-ring earth building, covering an area of ​​about 2,300 square meters. It has three floors and 30 rooms with an internal corridor. Its biggest feature is the combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles.

The prominent ancestral hall in the inner courtyard is very eye-catching, with four towering stone pillars and granite floors, which have a strong reminiscent of ancient Greek architectural style. The courtyard provides daily life for local residents. If you want to experience the daily life for a night, there are homestays available. If you want to eat special dishes, there are restaurants as well. It is very convenient.

Tulou can be described as a small collective residence that has everything you need for daily living. It is truly a very special local cultural experience. The entrance ticket to the People's Wall is 50 yuan, and you can visit the Gaobei Tulou settlement in the entire area.
