Step into a world where ancient architecture meets modern pop culture! The Yongding Tulou in southeast China’s Fujian Province are more than just buildings—they’re vibrant, oversized communities frozen in time. These massive earth structures, built by the Hakka people over 1,000 years ago, blend history, culture, and stunning design into one unforgettable experience.
History Meets Innovation
Imagine living in a circular fortress the size of a stadium! The tulou were designed to house entire clans, with thick walls for protection and courtyards buzzing with communal life. Their genius design even earned them a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2008.
Anime Magic Comes Alive
Anime fans, this one’s for you! The tulou’s dreamy aesthetic inspired the floating villages in China’s hit animated film Big Fish & Begonia. No wonder travelers call this place “real-life Miyazaki scenery”—it’s pure whimsy!
