The Interduction Of Nianjing Tulou Cluster Good afternoon everybody! I am your tourguide Wendy. I am so happy to be here to stay with you. Today we will visit one of the most mysterious architectures in the world. Yet, it is Tulou Cluster in Nanjing County.Before we begin our trip, I am going to make a short introduction about it. The Nanjing Tulou Cluster is located in the northwest of Zhangzhou city , Fujian ,China. In Nanjing County ,there are more than 15,000 Tulous scattered through out it which including 1300 large-scale Tulous. The Tulous were built by Hakka people for whom they serve the due purpose of giving them some more to live and protecting them. They were constructed from the 12th century right up to the 20th, tulous are typically three to five story structures with a thick earthen wall and a single entrance. They tend to be vast, well-fortified structures, capable of housing up to 800 people. In fact, they originally functioned as village units offering safety, shelter and a sense of community. Among the thousands of Tulou buildings, the Tianluokeng tulou cluster is famous for its spcecial shape. It’s consists of a square earth building at the center and surrounded by four round earth buildings (or more exactly, 3 round earth buildings and one oval shape earth building), figuratively nicknamed 四菜一汤, Si cai yi tang (four dishes with a soup). In 2008, the tulous were named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Now I think must be attracted by the supernatural buildings and want to know more details about it. Our tirp to Tulou will tell you how was Tulou building′s material chosen? And what was the life like inside them an so on. The following time will answer your any confusions about it. I hope you can enjoy yourself during this trip.Thank you!
