The price is very high, the earth building is kept relatively primitive, and there are not many traces of development. You can chat with the villagers, which is very good. The old building is five or six hundred years old. The new one is built in the 1950s and 1960s. The summer is very cool. Children can play in the water.
Very quiet tulou village, with no tourists around even during the holidays. Here you can appreciate tulou houses not commercialized. Climb up to the view point for a stunning view over the cluster! Entrance fee is 40 rmb. Highly recommend!!!
The Hekeng Tulou Group is like the Big Dipper, the seven-round and seven-sided building, the round is the Ming Dynasty building, the square is the Republic of China building, there are several abandoned, you can also climb the mountain at the entrance of the scenic spot to see the panoramic view, it is a good experience
The river pit, there are very few tourists. The whole small village is quiet and quiet, and the houses are scattered. I think if I let me choose, I am willing to choose here.
From Xiamen Shapowei, the chartered car journey is about 2 hours. The road conditions are very good. The asphalt road goes directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. The scenic spot is only preliminary development. Relatively, Yunshuiyao and Tianluokeng are not serious about commercialization. There is no bus tour bus in the past. Most of the earth buildings were built collectively in the 1960s and 1970s. There are few people living at present, most of them are left behind elderly people. Suitable for like the original ecology, you can stroll around and take pictures.
The original ecological earth building, I want to have a less heavy commercial atmosphere than other earth buildings. The viewing platform can see the whole picture.
Good environment, worth recommending! ! ! ! ! ! !
