UNESCO Description An account of the resource The Fujian Tulou consist of 46 ancient buildings scattered in Fujian and Guangzhou Province of China. Tulou is a particular circle or triangle shape building that originated from the Song and Yuan dynasty. It was developed and fully built during the Ming and the republic of China period. The oldest Tulou is over 600 years old, and the youngest Tulou is only 30 years since it built. In Chinese, "Tu" means soil, and "Lou" means building. The material of Tulou is based on stone and soil-applied with bamboo woods. Ancient people built it around the rice field and tea field. The usage of Tulou is as a dwelling house, for a single Tulou will allow around 800 residents to live in. Besides, it is also acting as a protection mechanism from the bandits. The solid walls and the circle shape without too many windows outside will perfectly protect residents from the bullets attack. Now Tulou is still a life circle for the local residents, the culture and the tradition inside of Tulou are still alive. Date Submitted Date of submission of the resource.
