More than 300,000 travelers recently flooded Fujian Province's iconic tulou complexes during the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday, transforming these 13th-century UNESCO World Heritage sites into living museums of Hakka tradition. 🏯
In Yongding District, locals staged immersive dragon dances and tea ceremonies within the circular earthen walls – some buildings large enough to house 800 people! Visitors tried their hand at Hakka embroidery and sampled traditional 'niang' rice wine, creating Instagram-worthy moments against the architecture that once defended against bandits.
Where History Meets TikTok
'It's like stepping into Mulan meets Star Wars' Rebel base,' laughed Singaporean student Priya K., 22, while filming a Hakka folk song performance. The nine-day event saw a 40% increase in young travelers compared to 2025, with #TulouAdventure trending across social platforms.
Local organizers told NewspaperAmigo: 'This year's success proves ancient cultures can thrive in the digital age – you just need the right mix of authenticity and photo ops!' 📸
