Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster | The Iconic “Four Dishes and a Soup”

Tianluokeng Cluster

Snail Pit Village | The Crown Jewel of Nanjing Tulou

“Si Cai Yi Tang”

Four Dishes and a Soup

A stunning quincunx arrangement: 1 Square Building at the center, surrounded by 3 Round Buildings and 1 Oval Building.

Located in Snail Pit Village (Tianluokeng), about a 4-hour scenic drive from Xiamen, this cluster is a masterpiece of Feng Shui and architectural harmony. The buildings are perched on a lush mountainside, offering different perspectives from “Looking Down” (the panoramic view) to “Looking Up” (from the foot of the hill).

The Architectural Harmony

Buyunlou (The Center)

The core square building, representing the “Soup” in the center of the meal.

The Four Surrounding Rings

Includes Hechanglou, Zhenchanglou, Ruilonglou, and the oval-shaped Wenyanglou.

Interestingly, Wenyanglou was built in an oval shape to better fit the limited hillside terrain and optimize the local Feng Shui, adding a unique asymmetrical beauty to the cluster.
