Yuchang Building is a significant example of Fujian Tulou architecture, dating back to the 14th century, though it has undergone reconstruction over time. This five-story circular structure served as a fortified home for multiple families, showcasing a unique communal lifestyle. Visitors can explore the building's interior, which now houses small shops on the ground level, and appreciate the impressive craftsmanship and historical significance of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Access is facilitated by a free shuttle from Taxia village, with a transfer point at another Tulou building.
