The Fujian Tulou are Chinese rural dwellings unique to the Hakka in the mountainous areas in southeastern Fujian, China. They were mostly built between the 12th and the 20th centuries.
A Tulou is usually a large, enclosed and fortified earth building, most commonly rectangular ◼ or circular ⚫in configuration, with very thick load-bearing rammed earth walls between three and five stories high and housing up to 800 people.
TUCKED in the rolling subtropical mountains of the southeast Chinese province of Fujian is a series of giant multistoried homes built with wood and fortified with mud walls.
Fujian Tulou was inscribed in 2008 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
