Next, visit Huaiyuan Building, one of the best-preserved tulou in the Nanjing area. This massive circular structure, built during the Qing dynasty, was designed to house multiple generations of a single family. Your guide will describe the tulou’s unique defensive design, featuring thick rammed-earth walls, symmetrical wooden corridors, and a central ancestral hall. Inside, visitors can explore living quarters, study the family’s genealogical tablets, and observe daily life within this remarkable communal structure. The guide will share insights into Hakka customs, explaining how the tulou’s architecture reflects unity, security, and shared values. As you walk through the corridors, the scent of wood and the echo of footsteps create a timeless atmosphere that connects you to the rhythm of traditional Hakka life.
