Things to do in Nanjing County

Starting from Xiamen, if you want to see the Tulou (Hakka earthen buildings), Yunshuiyao is relatively close, and the road conditions are excellent. The Tulou are very distinctive, and the natural scenery of the scenic area is also quite nice. There's also a 400-year-old banyan tree!

An amazing experience, with breathtaking landscape and culture. The shuttle bus takes you to the best viewpoints and you get a chance to walk in the Tulou to see it for yourself.

Deeply moved by the movie *Big Fish & Begonia* and Zhou Shen's song "Big Fish," and captivated by the Tulou (Hakka earthen buildings) depicted in the film, I decided I had to visit them at least once in my life. This led to this trip. The village is remarkably well-preserved and retains its original charm. Our tour guide was wonderful; she explained everything, helped us take beautiful photos, didn't pressure us to shop, and charged reasonable prices. She even sent us more beautiful pictures of the Tulou. This trip was definitely worthwhile! 👍🏻

Hegui Tower, also known as Shanjiao Tower, is located in Pushan Village, Meilin Town, Nanjing County. Built in the 10th year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was constructed by Jian Ciping, a public servant, at a total investment of 15,000 taels of silver. Spanning 1,547 square meters, it is the tallest earthen building in Nanjing and a typical example of the numerous square-shaped earthen buildings found in southwestern Fujian.

[Scenery] Huaiyuan Building is also a representative of circular earthen buildings. The introduction of the owner Jian Changshi is displayed in the building. It is also a representative work of Nanjing earthen buildings. There is a Buddhist temple after the second door, where the Nanhai Guanyin is enshrined. There is also a school in the earthen building. The earthen building can be said to be a small fortress. The first floor is a kitchen, the second floor is a warehouse, and the third and fourth floors are bedrooms. There is a well on the ground. There are also facilities to prevent bandits.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, during the holiday, I left home at 6:30 am and arrived before 9 am – the whole place was deserted. It was completely untouched by commercialization, very pristine, and even just watching the ducks in the river was soothing. You can see the Tulou (Hakka earthen buildings) from the observation deck; although they're not large, there are very few people!

Came here on January 1, 2014. Tasha Village is also a major attraction in Nanjing County. This ancient village is hidden in the mountains. A stream runs through the village, and the houses are distributed on both sides of the stream. Because the stream flows through the village like Tai Chi, Tasha Village is also called "Tai Chi Water Village". In my opinion, this kind of village settled by the stream is most similar to the ancient town of Xitang in Zhejiang. There are still many residents in the village. It is both ancient and vibrant. There is almost no commercial atmosphere. It is all original ecological life atmosphere. It is rare and worth a visit. I have seen earth buildings in other places. I came here mainly to see the Zhang family temple "Deyuan Hall". Starting from Yunshuiyao Ancient Town, you have to walk 24 kilometers of mountain roads. You can drive by yourself or hire a local to drive a motorcycle to lead the way.

Very good, very suitable for parents and children to complete together, the children are very happy
