Activity itinerary

Yun Shui Yao Ancient Town
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
A poetic haven nestled in southern Fujian’s countryside, Yunshuiyao Ancient Town captivates with its time-honored charm. The smooth cobblestone road, polished by centuries of footsteps, winds through the idyllic landscape, flanked by towering thousand-year-old banyan trees and gurgling streams. As the filming location of the film "Yunshuiyao", the town exudes an ethereal tranquility, where every rustle of leaves and murmur of water seems to whisper stories of bygone eras, blending pastoral beauty with profound nostalgia.
Hegui Building
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Known as the tallest tulou in Nanjing County, Hegui Building is a marvel of ancient engineering. Built atop a swamp, it stands firm for centuries thanks to over 200 pine piles driven deep into the mire as its foundation. Inside, the fascinating "Yin-Yang Wells"—one crystal clear, the other turbid—defy scientific explanation, adding a touch of mystery to this architectural gem. More than a residence, it embodies the Hakka virtue of harmony, standing as a silent witness to the clan’s enduring spirit.
Huaiyuan Tower
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
A masterpiece of tulou craftsmanship, Huaiyuan Building is an exquisitely designed double-ring circular tulou. Its soul lies in the "Sishi Room", the ancestral hall at the core of the inner courtyard, adorned with intricate wood carvings that depict traditional Hakka family mottos. Every detail, from the symmetrical structure to the delicate decorations, reflects the Hakka people’s reverence for heritage and pursuit of elegance, making it a living showcase of Hakka culture.
Zhangzhou Ancient Building
  • 1h
A millennium-old gem nestled in the heart of southern Fujian, Zhangzhou Ancient City perfectly preserves the street pattern dating back to the Tang and Song dynasties and the original Minnan style. Bluestone-paved roads meander through the town, where arcade buildings, ancient residences and time-honored shops stand side by side, exuding a vibrant atmosphere of daily life amid curling cooking smoke. It is not only a living museum of Minnan architecture, but also a paradise for foodies and intangible cultural heritage lovers. Here, you can wander along the Ming and Qing ancient streets to explore historical relics, savour authentic local snacks like hand-held noodles, and encounter intangible cultural heritage performances such as bag puppet shows. You can also opt for a paid professional Nanyin performance, immersing yourself in the melodious tunes of this "living fossil of Chinese music", and embracing the gentle blend of thousands of years of history and modern daily life.
Zhangzhou Tianluokeng Village
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Famous for its iconic "four dishes and one soup" layout, Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster is a visual spectacle set against green mountains and clear waters. A square Buyun Building stands in the centre, surrounded by four circular tulous, forming a harmonious and striking landscape. Nearby, Yuchang Building—known as the "Crooked Building"—boasts tilted wooden pillars above the third floor yet has withstood earthquakes for over 600 years, a testament to ancient architectural ingenuity.
Yongding Earth Building
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Home to two of the most renowned tulous, Yongding Tulou Cluster is a treasure trove of Hakka architecture. Zhencheng Building, the "Prince of Tulou", seamlessly blends Chinese and Western styles, featuring exquisite carvings and a sophisticated Bagua layout. Chengqi Building, the "King of Tulou", is a grand structure with a 73-meter diameter and four concentric rings of houses, capable of accommodating over 1,000 people, perfectly embodying the Hakka tradition of clan communal living.
