[2025 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for Huaiyuan Building (Updated Jun)

Fujian Tulou, with its unique round and square structures, has always been on my must-visit list. I've always wanted to witness these special buildings. When traveling in Southern Fujian, you can start from Quanzhou or Xiamen, with just over two hours of travel by car. There are many convenient one-day tours available 👍 Stepping into the Tulou for the first time, I felt an ancient, dusty atmosphere. Aside from the small shops selling souvenirs and drinks, not many people live there anymore. The culture of the Tulou, originally built for communal living and protection, no longer exists as it once did, but one can still imagine the grandeur of hundreds or even thousands of people living together. Those with a keen eye might have noticed the Wind Lion Gods, Thousand-Mile Eyes, and Following-Wind Ears in the courtyard. Does it feel familiar? That's right, it's unmistakably Fujian ❤️

❤The guide to relaxation in Yun Shui Yao is hidden in the folds of the tulou. ❤In the early morning, the tulou cluster appears gray-blue, with six-hundred-year-old round buildings layered with roof tiles. By the time I count to the third circle, bamboo shadows have already spread across the courtyard. By the stream, old banyan trees dangle their aerial roots, filtering visitors' exclamations into gentle rustling sounds. ❤Dusk is the magical hour. Wandering along the cobblestone path, you suddenly see glowing lights floating above the rice fields, as if someone has spilled a bottle of star-brewed wine. Following the green lights into an alley, you bump into the inn owner fanning himself on the porch: "What's the rush? The fireflies aren't catching a high-speed train." ❤Spending the night within rammed earth walls, you hear raindrops falling from the eaves, as if time itself is counting the moments.

| Exploring the Hakka Tulou, a Time Capsule of the Hakka People. 🏯 [Secret Realm Quick View] In the folds of the mountains of southwestern Fujian, the Hakka Tulou complexes have amazed the world with the name "Oriental Ancient Castles." The Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster in Nanjing, known as "Four Dishes and a Soup," is like a flying saucer from outer space landing in the mountain valley. The circular patio of Chengqi Building, with a diameter of 73m, is like a vortex of time. The most shocking thing is spending the night in Zhencheng Building. When the moonlight passes over the triple-eaved gable roof, the lights of 200 households light up in the circular corridor in turn, and the aroma of rice wine and the children's rhyme "Moonlight" float out of the rammed earth walls, forming a three-dimensional picture of a living cultural heritage. 🚶 [Exploration Guide] ▫️ Essence Route: Tianluokeng Viewing Platform → Yuchang Building (leaning building) → Taxia Village → Yunshuiyao Ancient Path → Huaiyuan Building (2 days and 1 night) ▫️ Light and Shadow Moments: 06:30 Watch for "Morning Mist over the Tulou," 19:30 Photograph "Stars Around the Enclosure" ▫️ Transportation Tips: Take the "Tulou Express" directly from Xiamen Gaoqi Airport (departures at 8:00/14:00 daily) ▫️ Photography Secrets: Use a wide-angle lens to capture a panoramic view of the architecture | Use a polarizing filter to eliminate reflections from the rammed earth ▫️ Secret Realm Experience: Learn to sing Hakka tea-picking opera / Participate in rammed earth wall restoration / Ancient method of making persimmon wine 🌾 [Five Senses Adventure] Fingertips caress the 700-year-old leaning pillars of Yuchang Building, and the fragrance of pine wood mixed with the moisture of glutinous rice slurry penetrates the palm. At noon in the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall in Taxia Village, the "Nine Halls and Eighteen Wells" banquet is set out on the Eight Immortals table, and the savory aroma of preserved mustard greens with pork and the sweet and sour taste of rice wine explode on the tip of the tongue. The most unforgettable thing is curling up in the circular corridor at midnight. The moonlight shines through the "three-proof" design (fireproof, anti-theft, and earthquake-resistant) lookout holes, casting geometric spots of light on the rammed earth floor, and the sound of the night watchman's bamboo clapper comes from afar. This is a three-dimensional code for the Hakka people to communicate with time and space. 📜 [Hakka Legend] These rammed earth miracles are engraved with ethnic epics: In the Yuan Dynasty, the Hakka people moved south to avoid war, and mutated the genes of the Central Plains courtyard into the form of an enclosure. The "raw earth rammed construction" technique recorded in the Yongle Encyclopedia is still being passed down today. The most mysterious thing is the "Tai Chi Yin-Yang Well" - the inner and outer ring wells of Zhencheng Building. At noon on the winter solstice, the yin-yang double fish pattern will appear with the light and shadow, which coincides with the Hakka people's philosophy of "harmony between heaven, earth, and people." Local elders still use the "Migration Poem" to teach children: "People are endowed with the ambition to travel far and wide, let you stand firm wherever you are." 🌌 [Mental Notes] On the morning of the third day, climb the Wenchang Pavilion viewing platform, and the Tulou complex in the mist looks like the eyes of the earth opening. When the first ray of sunlight pierces through the cooking smoke from the tiled roof of "Four Dishes and a Soup," I suddenly understand the profound meaning of the Hakka folk song "A thousand years of wandering, roots finally settle." These encircled cities built with brown sugar, egg whites, and glutinous rice are nothing more than love letters written by wanderers to the earth? I met a centenarian grandmother drying persimmon cakes. Her cracked palms and the rain marks on the walls of the Tulou are so similar, both are survival badges certified by time. ⚠️ [Survival Rules] ▫️ The circular patio is slippery with moss | Wear non-slip shoes ▫️ Respect the ancestral hall's sacrificial taboos | Consult before photographing the interior of the enclosure ▫️ Bring mosquito repellent to deal with mountain mosquitoes ▫️ The temperature difference between day and night is 15℃ | Prepare a shawl This note is not only a visual feast of architectural aesthetics, but also an in-depth dialogue with migratory civilization. Collect this Hakka codebook and listen to the millennium heart song sealed in the rammed earth walls! 🎑

On April 22, I set off from Quanzhou to my long-awaited destination, Yun Shui Yao, embarking on a two-day journey filled with poetry and warmth. Staying at the Tianxiadi themed guesthouse was an unexpected delight, especially when the owner personally explained the history of Huaiyuan Building, giving me a deeper understanding of this land. 🚗 Day 1: Departing from Quanzhou, Heading to the Romance of Yun Shui Yao • Morning: Under the warm spring sun, I drove from Quanzhou. Along the way, lush mountains and picturesque villages flashed past my window, with April's greenery rushing toward me, making me feel particularly refreshed. After about a 3-hour drive, I finally arrived at Yun Shui Yao Ancient Town. Stepping into the town, I walked on winding cobblestone paths, with flowing streams beside me and century-old banyan trees swaying in the breeze in the distance, as if telling the long history of this place. • Noon: I arrived at the Tianxiadi themed guesthouse to check in. The guesthouse was rustic and elegant, filled with Chinese-style elements that made me feel at home. After a short rest, I enjoyed lunch at the restaurant behind the guesthouse. The must-try stream fish was tender and fresh, prepared with a unique cooking method that made it incredibly flavorful. The local vegetables were sweet and refreshing, full of spring flavors. (PS: Money-saving tip: Mention Tianxiadi for a discount!) • Afternoon: I eagerly began my exploration of Yun Shui Yao. Walking along the stream, the cobblestone path beneath my feet has hundreds of years of history, and each step felt like treading on the marks of time. The large banyan tree by the stream was truly spectacular, with lush branches providing ample shade. When I reached Hegui Building, I was amazed by this "Noah's Ark" built on swampland. With the owner's prior "spoiler," I curiously tapped the stone slabs inside with my feet, feeling the magical swaying motion, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients. In the evening, the sunset cast a golden glow on Huaiyuan Building, the stream sparkled, and walking on the corridor bridge, watching birds return to their nests, I felt the unique tranquility and beauty of Yun Shui Yao. • Evening: Back at the guesthouse, the enthusiastic owner started talking about the nearby Huaiyuan Building. He eagerly offered to explain it to me. I initially thought it would be a simple introduction, but to my surprise, the owner knew everything about Huaiyuan Building's historical origins, architectural details, and family stories. From the hardships during construction to the cultural meanings behind each carving and couplet, he described everything vividly, even more impressively than a professional guide! Through his narration, Huaiyuan Building was no longer just an ancient building but "living history" carrying a century of memories. 🌿 Day 2: In-depth Experience, Unlocking More Charm of the Ancient Town • Early Morning: Awakened by birdsong, fresh air filled with the fragrance of soil and plants greeted me. Yun Shui Yao was shrouded in a light mist, like a delicate ink painting. I jogged along the stream, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. • Morning: I entered the ancient town again, this time slowing down to savor every corner. I visited specialty shops in the town, where exquisite handicrafts and charming cultural creative products were hard to put down. I also visited local residents' homes, listening to their stories about the town's changes and feeling the atmosphere of daily life here. • Noon: I continued to enjoy delicious food at the restaurant behind the guesthouse. Hakka stuffed tofu and preserved vegetable braised pork were must-try dishes. The meat filling in the stuffed tofu was juicy, and the tofu was soft and flavorful; the preserved vegetable braised pork was rich but not greasy, salty and aromatic, perfect with rice. I was completely satisfied. • Afternoon: With some reluctance, I packed my luggage to prepare for the return journey. Before leaving, the owner warmly gave me directions and reminded me of things to note on the way back. This trip to Yun Shui Yao not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery and ancient architecture but also, thanks to the owner's explanations, I gained rich cultural knowledge. If you're also looking for a quiet place in April, come to Yun Shui Yao! Here, time seems to slow down, and you can fully experience the poetic charm and gentleness of the ancient town while listening to stories of the past. I believe you will fall in love with everything here, just as I did!

The Tulou is far from Xiamen, but it's definitely worth a visit.
