Side Entrance

The side door of a tulou, a large circular communal residence built around a central courtyard and shrine area. Tulou were built by the Hakka people, and are only found in a few places in the south-western part of Fujian province.

 

Although "tulou" literally means "earthen building", this one is made largely of stone and wood. It is several stories tall, with a number of families still living in it.
