Photographers will find outstanding vantage points to capture the tulou’s impressive scale, while visitors can explore the interiors, interact with local artisans, and gain a deeper understanding of Hakka craftsmanship and lifestyle.
The journey continues to Taxia Village, a picturesque settlement along a river and surrounded by lush green hills. Known for its tulou clusters and authentic Hakka lifestyle, the village offers a mix of natural beauty, history, and culture. Your guide will lead you through winding alleys, highlighting historic residences, traditional bridges, and small farms that still reflect centuries-old practices.
