There are many places where you can enjoy cherry blossoms, but appreciating them in a tea garden is quite distinctive. First of all, the colors, with the green tea garden as a backdrop, the cherry blossoms appear even more vivid and eye-catching, pleasing to the eye and soothing to the heart; secondly, the sowing characteristics of the tea garden add a sense of line to the view from a distance; at the tea house on the mountain top, one can sit by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping tea and enjoying the flowers, which is quite atmospheric.

Yongding Earth Building Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
After 48 hours, you will see the Yongding Earth Building in Miyazaki's "Big Fish Sea Bream".
After watching the big fish sea otter, I will go to see the real earth building. The director of "The Big Fish Begonia" said: "We should find the most mysterious building in China as much as possible to let people go to the state like ancient China." So I found the mysterious Fujian earth building.
Local scenery
The portraits and photos on the walls of the ancestral hall declare the fascination of the builders of the earth building, and hundreds of years later the earth buildings are ushered in daily, feeling that it is not only a step forward. The scenic spot is even more a home.
tends to be plain and quiet, and sleep peacefully in the cockerel dog shit. Walk the life on the wind and frost trail. If you want to relax and don't know where to go, don't put it here. Well, the long ancient road, the century-old dad, the magical earth building, and the Lingshan clear water, all give people a sense of transcendental.
There is no reinforced concrete here, there is no squatting crowd, there is a kind of sneak peek at the half-day leisure, the residents live peacefully, the chickens and ducks walk in the air, sit on the roots of the earthen walls, blow the sun, feel like they are living People here.
There is a feeling after the return trip
When the city's reinforced concrete separates the neighborhood's hotlines, the earthen building, which is much longer than the package building, can also be seen as a vivid epitome of the Chinese family tradition.
About accommodation
The Prince Hotel lived next to the Tulou. It is recommended to stay in the vicinity of the Tulou for one night. In the evening, the lights are brilliantly shaded. Summer and summer feel more beautiful than the daytime. It is simply the restoration of the real scene of "The Big Fish Sea Bream", and also the artistic conception of "Spirited Away".

Yongding Tulou | A single building gathers thousands of families, where my heart rests is my hometown
A single building gathers thousands of families, where my heart rests is my hometown. The Tulou is a unique architectural form developed from the Hakka communal living culture. With its distinctive shape and the mysterious cultural atmosphere of Fujian, it has become an important symbol of romance.
The Hakka people are Han Chinese who migrated from the Central Plains. In these buildings, we see the Chinese people's persistent attachment to the concept of 'home'.
The original meaning of 'Hakka' is 'guest families'. From ancient times to the present, migration has been an eternal theme. In the flowing sands of time, the Tulou architecture has brought together thousands of scattered families, making the strangers become one community.
Even as time ages, the spirit of the Tulou remains unyielding. Each stone brick, each wooden beam, carries a touching warmth, along with the deep-seated family values hidden within the walls, all of which have grown into the bloodline of the Hakka people.

Fujian·Yongding Tulou
"Four stories high, four rings of buildings, four hundred rooms up and down, circle within circle, ring within ring, standing through the vicissitudes of three hundred years."
I took a self-driving trip to the Fujian Tulou during the Spring Festival and visited the Fujian Tulou King Chengqi Building and the surrounding tulou.
Chengqi Building is located in Gaobei Village, Gaotou Township, Yongding County, Fujian Province. It first appeared in the "Chinese Folk Houses" stamps issued by China in 1986. It is said to have been founded during the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen period and was not completed until the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi period, taking half a century.
To the west of Chengqi Building is the Qiaofu Building, which was built in 1962. It is a three-story single-ring round building. There is a circle of walls outside the building, with an outer gate on the wall, forming a courtyard. This place is also a filming location for the movie "Big Fish & Begonia". This building is famous for producing 11 PhDs, hence it is also known as the Doctor's Building.
To the east of Chengqi Building is a square tulou, Shize Building, which was built during the Qing Dynasty's Jiaqing period and was later destroyed and rebuilt. The floor at the entrance inside the building is a model of ancient coins, and the building's design of one door, two wells, three halls, and four staircases is very distinctive.

Tingzhou Ancient City | High Cost-Performance Strategy
College students traveling on a budget, this is how to save a lot of money!
Depart from Quanzhou Station, take the high-speed train🚅 directly to Changting South Station. After exiting the station, you can take a taxi or a bus, the commute time is about the same, taxi costs ¥20, bus🚌 costs two coins.
🏠For accommodation, we chose the Changting Wangjiang Residence Inn, which has a reasonable cost-performance ratio, and in the off-season, it's just over a hundred. They offer a complimentary scenic spot pass (the pass alone costs 95 yuan), which allows access to 5 attractions (Jichuanmen City Wall, Baxi Pavilion, Doctor's Residence, Wolong Academy, Woodworking Training Center). It's recommended to choose one that comes with a ticket, which is almost like getting accommodation for free.
🙋Jichuanmen is suitable for visiting at night. Go out around 7 pm, you can choose the Tingjiang Night Tour project (half price for students at 40 yuan), which lasts about 30min and includes a light show, quite nice. After the boat tour, you can walk to Jichuanmen City Wall, scan the code to enter, make sure to do so before 21:00, recommended visiting time is 30min. Afterwards, you can go to the vicinity of Wolong Academy to check in the famous quote by Louis Ai Lai.
🙋The next morning, go out around 8 am for a walk to feel the atmosphere of the ancient city, and you can see laundry being washed by the river. The morning itinerary is recommended to include Baxi Pavilion, Doctor's Residence, and Woodworking Training Center. Leave around 9 am, and after a ten-minute walk, you'll reach Baxi Building (Baxi Pavilion and Doctor's Residence are connected). The online information says it opens at 9 am, but it's actually 10 am, so if you arrive early, you can first visit the Woodworking Training Center, take a quick tour for about ten minutes, and learn about woodworking development and Hakka architecture. After that, you can visit the nearby Tianhou Palace, enter the attractions around 10 am, and Baxi Pavilion and Doctor's Residence can be visited in 30min, with a performance at Baxi Pavilion at 11 am (one of the Eight Joys). After exiting, you can go to Guizhi Sweet Soup Shop to check in and take photos with a great vibe.
🙋Afternoon itinerary, visit Wolong Academy. Wolong Academy is recommended for 1h of visiting time, and be careful❗️when walking, as it's easy to sprain your ankle if you're not used to the stairs. After exiting, you can go to Diantou Street and Sanyuan Pavilion.
Food recommendations:
Stewed pig kidney, boiled beef with an average price of 15-20
Boji Ba, near Sanyuan Pavilion, costs 5 yuan per serving, not particularly tasty
Dengzhan Cake, vegetarian 2 yuan/piece, with meat 3 yuan/piece
Changting dried tofu (this is delicious!)
Ginger candy (lots of ginger candy shops)
If there are no other plans, you can return! If you have plenty of time, you can choose the bus, Changting No. 3 route, no need for a Longyan bus card, just use the payment code to pay.

Hakka Capital
Fujian Longyan City, Changting County, "Beautiful Tingzhou, the Capital of Hakka". It seems like everywhere claims to be the capital of Hakka; it's like South Africa, which has three capitals.
During the Tang Dynasty, Fujian had five prefectures: Jianzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Tingzhou, which is how Fujian got its name.
Changting is a national historical and cultural city, with the Southern Song Dynasty Wolong Academy (first four pictures), ancient city walls, etc. The last two pictures are of red cultural relics; Chairman Mao once stayed and drank well water here.

Chuxi Tulou cluster Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
It’s all about community in the Fujian tulou; these rural dwellings are an incredible traditional feature of Fujian province, where both round and square earthen structures seemingly rise from the ground. Built between the 12th and 20th centuries, they’re usually large and enclosed buildings with only one or two entrances, and can house up to 800 people!
I spent a three-day weekend exploring a number of these old structures, wandering the wooden hallways of memorialised Tulou, as well as witnessing how locals still live their day to day lives in these Tulou buildings.

Fujian | Avoiding crowds during holidays at Fujian Tulou clusters
After watching Big Fish & Begonia, I've always wanted to visit the Hakka Tulou clusters.
I've looked through many online guides, and they all say that the experience at Chuxi Tulou is better.
Although not as famous, there are many Tulous and they are well-preserved.
It is the most primitive and most representative of Hakka culture in Yongding district.
The largest, Jiqing building, is unoccupied, allowing free movement up and down the floors.
It's not overly commercialized, and you can even see villagers playing mahjong.
In short, the original ecological ancient buildings are beautiful no matter how you photograph them.
The whole area has a secluded feel, and it's even more mystical surrounded by clouds and mist.
This time, due to heavy rain, I missed the chance to climb high for a panoramic view.
But walking on the stone paths in the rain is also a special experience. ☔️
🎫 Ticket: 65RMB/person, free entry to Jiqing building.
⚠️ It's a 15MIN walk from the entrance to the Tulou cluster, or you can take a shuttle back and forth for 10RMB.
⏰ Time: Open from 8:30-19:00, it's recommended to reserve about 4 hours for the visit.
🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is more convenient, about a 1.5H drive from Longyan high-speed train station.

Chuxi Tulou Cluster | Arriving at the Divine Enclosure
When visiting Fujian, the Tulou is a must-visit,
if you're tired of the crowds at the 'King of Tulou' and 'Four Dishes and One Soup',
then consider visiting the Chuxi Tulou Cluster,
hailed as 'China's most beautiful Tulou cluster',
built over hundreds of years from the Ming Dynasty to the present, it is the settlement of the Xu family,
and also the most primitive and Hakka-culture-rich Tulou in Yongding district.
There are few tourists, and it's very pristine, simple, and natural.

The Chuxi Tulou Cluster consists of five circular buildings and dozens of square buildings, with main types including rectangular, square, circular, hexagonal, etc. The names of the buildings in the Chuxi Tulou Cluster all contain the character 'Qing', symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The unique architectural style and ancient charm of the Chuxi Tulou Cluster reflect high aesthetic and historical value, showcasing the wisdom and creative talent of the working people.

⭐️⭐️Tips:
✅Many people still live in these Tulous, offering a rich atmosphere of daily life, incomparable to the commercialized Gaobei Tulou Cluster.
✅You can visit the buildings, and it's recommended to hire a guide, so visiting someone's home won't be awkward.
✅The surrounding area is picturesque, especially the stream at the entrance of the village, where standing on the stepping stones above the stream makes for great photos.
✅Walking into the village, there's a primary school and a square, surrounded by residential houses, giving off a vibe from the 70s and 80s of the last century, feeling like a journey through time.
✅Suitable for self-driving, you can drive directly to the village parking lot, which also offers a great view of the Chuxi Tulou Cluster.
✅There are many homestays in the village, but the conditions are very basic. If you like this kind of environment, you can stay for a few days and have a great experience.
