Yuchanglou Built in 1308, Yuchanglou has been the oldest tulou existing in Fujian Province. This 18.2 meter high share the 269 rooms in all of the 5 floors. There are 5 stairways in 5 different sections inside, and 22 water wells in each ground floor kitchens which surpass any other tulous in Fujian for the number. However fragile it may seem, this building has been showing its fastness by resisting the damage a long period of 700 years of time would have delivered, and has survived numerous earthquakes, all of these marvels entitle it to be a living specimen for research of ancient dwelling. #urbanexplorer

When the trailer of the big fish sea otter ~ movie was just broadcast, we were attracted by the earth building with red lanterns! This time, I finally had the privilege of coming to this fantastic ancient town Yunshuiyu scenic spot. It is a very long history. Huaiyuanlou and Heguilou are the most representative buildings in the Nanjing Tulou. History, Huaiyuan Building is the most complete double-circle round earth building, and the building is the representative of the inner corridor-style square building. It embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation. They are especially quiet and calm in this ancient town, and because the big fish sea otter looks even more Mysterious, fascinating...

Appreciating another culture is what this class trip is all about. The students see amazing Hakka Homes, a World Heritage Site, and get the opportunity to learn more about Chinese Culture and history. The air is so clean and the sky so blue. #givethanks #historicallandmarks #givethanks

Come to Yunshui, feel its peace and quiet, you seem to float in the fairyland of smoke and fog. A long ancient road, a hundred years old, a bamboo, water, and dreams, everything seems to be detached. Walking through the clouds, you can feel a hidden temperament. The people here still maintain a very natural and primitive state of life. Women in twos and threes will wash their clothes by the water and gossip. The waterwheel keeps turning around day and night, just like in the movie "Clouds". In the distance, the green mountains are like mountains and the water is like a mirror. The sky, the clouds and the old houses are projected into it. It is really a "cloud water".

In the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, everyone will yearn for an idyllic poetic life, and Yunshuiyu, hidden in Nanjing, Fujian, is such a desirable one. Yunshui, the first time I heard this poetic name reminds me of the PC game "Xuanyuanjian-Cloud and Mountain" that I once played. Formerly known as Changjiao, Nanjing Yunshuiyu is located in Nanjing County of Cangzhou City and belongs to a scenic spot of the world cultural heritage Fujian Tulou!

Its time to watch the fireflies. The grass that had been drilled for two days in the Fujian Tulou was almost carried out by mosquitoes. I didnt take the most beautiful look of fireflies. Im going to find another place to shoot fireflies this year~
