During the Spring Festival, the tickets for Tianluokeng Tulou bought included Yuchang Building. On the small bridge in front of the building, an aunt asked us if we went upstairs? Two people were 15 yuan, and we paid to visit her upstairs. The aunt is very enthusiastic along the way, and the angle of taking pictures upstairs will be better than taking pictures on the ground.

    The oldest large earth building in Nanjing is very majestic in appearance and there are people living inside. However, the location is awkward. A separate building stands in the village, unlike the Tianluokeng Scenic Area and the Yunshuiyao Scenic Area.

    Entering the earth building, it is true that all the pillars of the corridors above the second floor have a certain angle tilt, especially the third and fourth floors are more obvious, and the tilt direction of the two columns is the opposite.

    Yuchang Building (also known as Dongdaxiwei Building), built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty (about 1368), is said to be the oldest and largest round building. 5 floors high, 54 floors, a total of 270 rooms, covering an area of 2,289 square meters, construction area 6358.2 square meters, in the middle of Guanyin Temple. The ground is paved with uneven stone roads, and it is as if you heard it tell your own history. From the beginning of the door, all the way is invited to enter the home to see the well. On the first floor, every household has a small well. I have not walked in. The business atmosphere is too strong and I feel a little uncomfortable. The only regret is that because the Tulou is old, it is impossible to go upstairs to explore the real face. Some regrets, you can only turn around and see. The temple in the middle is very incense, and there is a small sales department next to it. From the periphery to enjoy Yuchang Building, the shape is huge, the stream in front of the door, the stone bridge and the earth building echo, like seeing children playing in the water, playing.

    Nanjing Yuchang Building is the oldest and largest circular earth building, built in 1368, the end of Yuan and early Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was jointly funded by the five surnames, and now it is a resident of Liu. The earth building is backed by the mountain, and there is a flowing stream in front of the door. The scenery is unique. When I walked in, I was shocked. I stood in the middle of the patio. I had to look up and turn around to see the earth building. It has five floors, 54 rooms on each floor, a total of 270 rooms, which looks dense. There is a single-story ancestor hall in the middle of the patio. The top of the earth building is full of red lanterns, and the atmosphere is magnificent. The residents on the first floor set up stalls to sell local specialties, and the clothes are dried upstairs, full of life. I discussed with the residents to take pictures upstairs and walked around the building. The whole earth building has a panoramic view, and I can't help but be surprised! Look closely at the earth building left and right, crumbling, it seems easy to collapse, but the 700 years since the construction, I don't know how many winds, rains and earthquakes have been experienced, it is still solid. It can be described as a great miracle in the history of architecture. The first floor of each family's house is a kitchen stove, the second floor is a granary, the elderly live on the third floor, the young people live on the fourth floor, and the coffin is stored on the fifth floor. Each stove has a well, the water depth is1.5 meters, the well water is clear, and you can fetch water with a spoon. Seven hundred years of east and west, maybe imperfect is the most perfect!

    Yuchang Building is a relatively large building in the earth building, with a total of five floors. Someone will take you upstairs to take pictures for 30 yuan. The small shop downstairs is not very mature compared to Yunshuiyao. Pay attention to ⚠️: Don't buy tea in it, the same tea is 60/jin in Yunshuiyao, and shouting 200-360/jin here. I personally compared, please the masses to keep their eyes open!
