This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Zhangzhou Tianluokeng Village, Tianluokeng Village, Shuyang Town, Nanjing County 363600 China

Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel in the morning. You will drive for about 3 hours from Xiamen to Nanjing.

Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster will be the first attraction you visit. It is composed of four round earthen buildings and a square one. It is one of the most magnificent and well-preserved Hakka fortresses. Your guide will give you detailed information about who built these earthen buildings, how they were built, and their advantages. We will drive you to a high vantage point so that you can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the cluster.

Yuchang Earthen Building is a skewed building. It was built in 1308 and is one of the oldest existing tulou. This five-story earthen building is most famous for its tilted pillars. The most extreme one is slanted at a 15-degree angle. There are five highlights in this building for you to discover. Let your guide uncover its secrets.

Hekeng Tulou Cluster is one of the six tulou clusters that belong to the World Heritage Site, the Fujian Tulou. However, it is not affected by tourism very much. The local Hakka people keep to their traditional lifestyle in the earthen buildings, which have different shapes. This tulou cluster is depicted as being Mulan's hometown in the movie Mulan. You will see the real earthen building where Mulan lives in the movie. The Hakka people are happy to invite you into the living room of their earthen building and show you the upstairs floor. This might not be available in other tulou clusters. Have a cup of local tea and listen to the stories about their families. It is a great chance to get close to the Hakka people's lifestyle and culture.
