B, Nanjing county in Zhangzhou City, Yongding county in Longyan City. C, along the way through several towns in the county of Nanjing City, Town, followed by (county) - South Dongkeng Town - Boat market town - Shuyang town. Town, Yongding County, followed by several high-Town - Lake Dongkeng Town - the town under the ocean. Nanjing County, Yongding county Shuyang town and the junction of High Town. I feel these matters need to memorize in mind, knowing what to use the bar, what is called self-tour, you have thorough and meticulous preparation for a little!
2, Must Do: Tulou many attractions there are 20, some spots are more dispersed, there is no sufficient time it is impossible to read, my time is only 2 days, so my arrangements are Tulou concentration region, namely:
1, Lake Dongkeng Town Hung Hang Earthen Folk Culture Village (vibration into the floor on this, is the most representative Tulou; Fu Yue House, Wufeng Lou representatives, Phoenix kulou than it had been and everything ; and Kui poly floor, should be built to the mountain, great features. This 3 floor, are the national key protected cultural relics, not to be missed. remember playing a place like this will have to ask a tour guide!)
2, High Town, North Suguri high-rise buildings (Chaintech floor in this well known large, Yongding County's largest Tulou; Yunlou must also go to the other five, Yongding County's oldest building, in disrepair)
3, the book town of snail Hang-yang ( "four dishes and one soup", a total of five Tulou, if you do not know the term ability, take a look at related to the introduction, I recommend this place one night, too beautiful!)

Third, what is the Hakka and Hakka culture?
Fourth, the relationship between the Hakka and Tulou, why this form to build Tulou?
5, Earthen why the round, so why Earthen gone through the years has also survive?
Of course, three, four, five asked me to the local feel that can look for even more accurate answer, which would be first given.
Travel the first few to know:
1, to the local, playing Earthen best means of transport is "friction" and remember to take care of a good teacher slowly opened, all Raowan the mountain, but also to talk less and the master, though they are here every day to open . Charge about 1.5 yuan / km, in Nanjing County, more mountain to go bad, charges more expensive!
Second, whether from Xiamen to Tulou, or Earthen bus back to Xiamen in the morning are like cars up to 8,9 points, one-off at noon there will be no. Crossings along the bus a lot of waving parking, as long as the patient and so on. Foreign books, the town of Xiamen, is the last class of the car at 12:30, we must remember that!
3, each playing a representative Tulou, it is best known as Lou Zhu or tour guide explain about it, to spend 10-20 million.
Fourth, as long as some fame Tulou have accommodation, usually 20-30 yuan per night / person, meals not that expensive.
5, individual perception of Yongding County, Earthen development faster, we will be advertising, commercial breath so thick that in the Earthen everywhere inside shops, bad bad! Go look at some of the original bar in Nanjing County, I think you would fall in those ancient times inside!
6, playing the general lunch spots such as these is impossible to eat well, unless you count the very accurate, or the time is very ample, so prepare some dry food and water, at noon, and the Cou-off in the evening make things right for a bit.
The starting point was in Xiamen, observing a lot of information, see Earthen's "starting to" set in Yongding County, "the next foreign town," better to have two lines can be used when the choice: If you do not like mountain afraid Britain is lame take A-line Xiamen - Zhangzhou - Longyan - Yongding - under the ocean, basically high-speed road, but not directly to the next foreign town, need to Yongding County, Longyan City, or transfer, B-line Xiamen - Zhangzhou - Nanjing - under the ocean can be directly to, the route from Nanjing to go down all mountain town, but the beautiful scenery all the way, the car Dangling like a massage chair, A-line will probably have to save more than 1 hour or so, it is recommended!
Pakistan foreign town to the next car is a long-distance bus terminal in Xiamen Hubin South Road, by the morning there is more than 6:00, the day the last one being a 12:20 at noon. The entire journey of about 6 hours or so: from Xiamen to Zhangzhou is 1 hour and 20 minutes or so, from Zhangzhou to Nanjing County (City, Town) is less than 1 hour from Nanjing to Shuyang county town is about 1 hour and 50 minutes , from the book to the town of Yongding County, Ocean Lake Dongkeng Town is 1 hour or so, from the lake to the next Dongkeng Town Western town is 1 hour less than the site listed above are the important sites along the route.
I was at 9:30 on May 6 to go directly to the B line of Yongding County Lake Dongkeng Town River Hang Tulou Culture Village, which is the next town, in front of a foreign station, not directly to the next town, because the ocean under the ocean town Several soil-rise buildings not in my plan, remember the local people along the way with the exchange of car will make you get a lot of useful information. 14:35 pm to the Cultural Village ticket office on the side of the road, 40 yuan / person. 5,6 100 meters to go down probably to a village on the inside, the face will be able to see the "vibration into the floor," I rely on! For the first time to see such things, really makes shock! Like a bunker-like, round around , with the city's steel and concrete to form a strong visual contrast between the dilapidated walls tells its been through the vicissitudes of life can not help but leave it at that there does not go !······ approached, and full of hand touch Crepe of the walls, corners Qingtai to the roof, then a ray of Smoke on the drop-down with the sun down, the back is on the hill and could hear the distant voice is pure, is plain, and with your That dream-thoughts into the space! The Tulou came here with some fantasy, it is the most beautiful, is not touch, like my favorite person, I am more willing to share the spirit, indeed Tulou is a mental, is a kind of temperament, is unique to the Hakka, and would like to be dissolved without dissolving into, and you have only admiration and envy! This is the most representative of a Tulou Yongding, was the construction of a wealthy family, so refined, so that different, so there are representative, its origin, its history, its story, only here you have only to have a strong desire to want to know. Vibration into the floor to the center, in the village there are many other Tulou, casually into which one, you will have a refreshing feeling, where the round floor, Square House, Wufeng Lou everything evil can be called is an "Earth Building Museum." In particular, is here to remind the vibration into the floor, Kui Poly House, Fuk Yu House is a national key protected cultural relics, we must have a good look Oh!
Stayed in the cultural village, about three hours less than the cars at the entrance to the village shouting went straight to the high-mo's Town North Village to see Chaintech high floor, 15 minutes is up on the roadside when coming here is a Chaintech House as the center than in the north village, soil-rise buildings, best known for Chaintech floor, which is the largest known Tulou Yongding, that House taught me a long doggerel I remember: "high-four-story, floor, four laps, up and down 400, round in the round, trap circle, vicissitudes of life after three centuries, "the name of this floor is also very interesting to do a guess, is" the past and "means. Walked in, looking over, and gone through every space and corner of the floor, listening to each one tells a long story, which actually Earthen walls 1 meter thick, is said to build Tulou very time-consuming, making a layer, then at least use a year's time, because when you build the first layer above the layer of soil must be done such as the following after the moves taken such a floor was solid and firm, and you have to think about four-story four years of what! This building was also a wealthy family, light study, there are 24, said this building to develop a number of Ming and Qing bachelor's and modern scholars, praise!
Can be seen walking out of the subsequent "five Yun Lou," but there is in this era, and has been in disrepair, has been declared a dangerous building, only one family lived, is an old bachelor, is said to be studying more then missed the great event , laugh! I boarded the fourth floor, stepping on the floor crunch sound, watching the defeated off the roof and the beams and columns, I think this building is like the same old people who refused to leave, lonely and incomplete, will be crying to go over the remaining life of every day, sigh!
Time is 18:30, the sky is not too dark, sounded a bit to "Snail Pit" 40 minutes to arrive, which is high from the Yongding County, Town North Village to the high Shuyang Nanjing County town of snail Village, the town at the junction of the two counties along the mountain greenery in the heart with the King movement, which is truly different kind of enjoying the scenery here, and even that soon as the frogs are so nicely, then to the head unconsciously into ground.
One day down, tired, imagine the scene inside sleeping in Tulou, ah, I would first fill his belly bar. I came to a cement pit service centers, the boss should be a good brief, Huang Liang-chung, who a little culture is in Nanjing County Photographic Society member, I finished dinner, nothing better to do Jiugen take him out one xintaizi tea and chat listening to him Tulou story, talk about the history of Nanjing, I was privileged to see two copies of his photography collection, which most often from different angles, different seasons and different weather conditions snail shot hole "four dishes a soup, "that night did not actually feel the tired, the next morning he told me that he had never been so sleep at night. I laugh!
Earth Building is closed, so each room is closed, you shut the door and windows, they did not see a ray of light, but where the people live in Tulou will never evening to morning, and their diligence, wisdom, and unite They are a big family, they never quarrel, they 5,6 o'clock every day together, crafts, also early the next day I heard the voice of the sky, and I would like to see if they are to do. Men have long to go, a woman in the laundry, old people holding grandson, chickens and ducks in the yard, leisurely walk, completely inappropriate that we are strangers, finishing finished I left to go downstairs, and crafts to share with the people, It was a pleasure, it is one of the most thorough way to touch the Earth Building. In the exposure of which to savor the five different characteristics of the Tulou, we came out of the mountains around the viewing platform, where you can view this as one of the five joint is like a plum blossom in full bloom in the landscape of the earth-rise buildings because it is an ellipse, and circle around a square 3 Tulou, so some people call it the image of the "four dishes and one soup", which is more than the individual to see a Tulou shocking, it is a graphical , an extremely compatible with human psychology of aesthetic graphics, no wonder there is a professor of Tongji University came to read it, issued a "less than a snail pit, which is not seen Earth Building" sound, the tone is truly. Frankly speaking, I also see her pictures on the Internet before the end sure you want to see earth storied building.
Back away from the river snail pit, after the next Sakamura, there is the famous "rickety flat" --- Yuchang House, said the House was built at that time did not take long for this, and Mr Leung Tsz-pillar east down West Ramp, but not being an integrated work force damage, has maintained to the present, there are 680 years, and is also home to more than 100 families, the floor is very characteristic, as each has a well, which is small; was a joint venture to build five surnames, there are five staircase channel, which is small; high five floors and was originally made of 7 layers, is the highest in surrounding areas, which not many. I feel in such a building to spend the night if it is also very interesting.
Came out to take down in less than 15 minutes to Tower Ha Village, where the ancient city than Phoenix, the personal sense, at least not in its next, bridges, streams, Earthen, stone road, one is a lot, but in here The most famous is the Chang family ancestral temple --- De-Yuan Tang, Chang family, many overseas Chinese, to develop in their careers after the village were donated for the benefit of local, this is the remembrance of their family's ancestral place, the door half-moon shape pond and 21 Shilong flagpoles, backed by mountains, is a very spectacular, very classic!
Is 20 minutes drive later, we went to the river Village, this is the cove of a Tulou community, which lasted for more than a dozen past as much as for Lex, we are on the hill above the viewing platform, in the green being against the background of these Earthen change so abrupt, so enchanting, like the sky of stars, embedded between mountains and carved, so that this piece of heaven and earth has been unusual mystery to it.
The feeling of some thin, finally, to leave this place, there are some sad, but it is honored memory.
After 30 minutes, returned to Shuyang town, this time is noon 12:10,12:30 set foot on the way back to Xiamen, the car is still Britain lame, those pieces are still non-stop flashback, every bend are My heart can reverberate do not know how long there still remain do not know when I can come back.
The car's music sounded, "Good-bye, my love, I will not forget, because I have been "······
2004.5.11
(Meilin town, "and your floor," and the "Huai flat" because of the time did not go into, leaving some regret Come back next time!)
