FlyOverChina | RelicRoam: Fujian Tulou in SE China
LONGYAN, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Fujian Tulou, the unique residential architecture of southeast China's Fujian Province constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2008.
Set amongst rice, tea and tobacco fields, Tulou is earthen house. Several storeys high, it was built along an inward-looking, circular or square floor plan as housing for up to 800 people each. Tulou was built for defence purposes around a central open courtyard with only one entrance and windows to the outside only above the first floor. Housing a whole clan, Tulou functioned as a village unit and was known as "a little kingdom for the family" or "bustling small city."
