## About Nanjing Tulou

“If you haven’t seen Tianluokeng, you haven’t really seen the tulou” is a well-known saying about Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster in Nanjing County, the most representative of the Nanjing tulou. Tianluokeng is one of the most spectacular tulou clusters in southwestern Fujian. Locals jokingly describe its five buildings as “four dishes and a soup,” and their arrangement across the hillside is both imposing and striking. The cluster includes Hegui Tulou, the oldest; Shunyu Tulou, the largest; Cuilin Tulou, the smallest; and well-known structures such as Yong’an Tulou and Yuchang Tulou. Visiting the tulou in Nanjing also offers a glimpse of everyday life for the Hakka people.
