Located in Xiaban Village, Yuchanglou is one of the oldest and largest round Tulou in Nanjing County. It is a cornerstone of the Fujian Tulou Highlights, featuring a unique internal layout originally divided into five vertical sections for different clans.
Architectural Highlights
While the first floor is vertical, the upper floors tilt in opposite directions, creating a mesmerizing visual zig-zag that defies traditional engineering.
Reflecting ancient philosophy, the building is divided into five segments, each with its own staircase for different families.
Constructed in 1308, it predates many of the more “perfect” structures found on our Fujian In-depth Tours.
A rare luxury: each kitchen on the ground floor has its own private well for daily convenience.
Yuchanglou is best visited alongside Tianluokeng. Book your journey with us:
