What you can expect

Kick off your adventure as our private guide choices you up from your Xiamen hotel. Sink into the comfort of an air-conditioned car and embark on a scenic 2-hour drive to Nanjing County. Along the way, soak in breathtaking landscapes while your guide unfolds the rich history and traditions of the Hakka people—feel free to ask anything that piques your curiosity!

Upon arrival at the UNESCO-listed Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster, step into a living museum of Hakka heritage. Wander through clusters of ancient earthen fortresses, marvelling at their massive, fortified structures that blend history with architectural genius. Follow your guide to uncover stories of centuries-old communal living, then ascend to the village’s highest vantage point. Gaze in awe at the iconic “four dishes and one soup” formation of five tulou homes, nestled amidst lush terraced hills, and learn how ancient Chinese “Fengshui” principles shaped this unique layout.

Next, journey to the legendary Yuchang Tulou, a 13th-century Ming Dynasty marvel and one of Fujian’s oldest tulou. Known as “China’s No.1 Leaning Tower,” its 15-degree tilt has defied gravity for over 700 years. Explore its round, multistorey interior, once home to five distinct families—Liu, Luo, Zhang, Tang, and Fan—and admire the ingenious design that stands as a testament to ancient engineering.
Cap off your day with a visit to Taxia Village, a hidden gem filled with traditional Hakka dwellings, serene waterways, and centuries-old stone bridges. Stroll through cobblestone lanes, soak in the tranquil atmosphere, and capture postcard-worthy views.

Afterwards, your private driver and guide will ensure a smooth, stress-free journey back to your Xiamen hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of these cultural treasures.
