Nico2022-08-2224 min

This week we visited one of the most picturesque and interesting villages we've been to in China. We headed down to Fujian to see the famous 'Tulous' which are ancient Chinese fortresses built by the Hakka people.

Not only did we see some of the most amazing pieces of architecture in these round house buildings but we learnt about the local culture and we we stayed inside one to really experience life here.
