Huaiyuan Tower

Huaiyuan Tower is a well-preserved Hakka tulou, a unique form of communal dwelling found in Fujian province, China. These earthen structures were designed for both defensive and residential purposes, housing entire clans. Visitors can explore the tower's courtyard and ground floor, which now features shops selling local crafts and food. While access to upper floors is sometimes available through residents, the primary appeal lies in experiencing the architecture and understanding the historical context of Hakka culture. The surrounding area offers opportunities to experience rural life and visit other tulou complexes.
