Introducing Yongding Hongkeng Tulou Cluster
The village of Hongkeng is home to over 100 beautiful tulou of all different shapes - round, square, U-shapes; of which 13 were built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and 33 were established during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). These tulous are gigantic, fortress-like buildings made of packed earth that were initially designed to protect inhabitants from bandits and wild animals. Hongkeng Tulou Cluster used to be the residence of the Lin family. Currently there are still around 2400 poeple living in Tulou. Of the many tulous that rise up out of Hongkeng village grounds, Zhencheng Building, Fuyu Building, Kuiju Building, and Rusheng Building have garnered the most fame.

Visit Zhencheng Building
Zhencheng Building was built in 1912 according to the Eight Diagrams theory. The two wells within this tulou represent Yin and Yang, while its three gates symbolise heaven, earth and human beings respectively. The external ring of the compound is a four-storey building that has been divided into eight units. Members of the Lin family that constructed Zhencheng Building had also studied abroad in Europe and thus incorporated many Western features into their tulou to make it stand out.

Visit Fuyu Building
Fuyu Building, on the other hand, is a completely different style of tulou known as a “Wufeng” or “Five Pheonix” tulou. Built in 1882 by three brothers, it was designed to look like a phoenix spreading its wings and its appearance was heavily influenced by Han-style architecture. The exterior supposedly looks like three mountains rising towards the sky, as the brothers wanted to imply that they were as magnificent as mountains.

Visit Kuiju Building
Kuiju Building is a large, square-shaped tulou that was built to resemble a palace, earning it the alternate name “Potala Palace”. Unlike many of the other earthen buildings, the interior is bedecked with sculptures, colourful murals, and complex architectural features.  

Visit Rusheng Building
Rusheng Building is famous precisely because it is the smallest tulou in existence. It was built sometime between 1875 and 1908, and is just 17 metres in diameter, with only three-storeys and 16 rooms to house its inhabitants. The name “rusheng” means “as if to rise”; perhaps because the optimistic owner hoped it would grow over time!

Transfer Back to Your Hotel
After visiting Rusheng Building, this Xiamen private day trip comes to the end. Your guide and driver will transfer you back to your hotel (3 hours).
