Located in the serene Shiqiao Village, Shunyulou is a spectacular sight for those who appreciate architectural scale. Spanning a massive 74.1 meters in diameter, it stands as the second-largest circular earthen building in Fujian, just 2.9 meters shy of the record holder.
Though constructed in 1943—relatively late in the Tulou era—Shunyulou was designed with a profound respect for antiquity. It features a traditional single-ring structure with an open corridor, a classic layout that echoes the historic fortresses of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Architectural Highlights
Because it lacks the complex inner rings of other giant Tulou, the inner courtyard of Shunyulou feels incredibly vast, offering an unmatched sense of openness and light.
Shiqiao Village remains a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path destination, allowing visitors to experience the “Silver Giant” without the heavy crowds of commercialized sites.
