This is my 2nd visit to Tulou clusters in Fujian province. Last September 2014, I took a bus from Xiamen to Hukeng and stayed overnight & visited the Hukeng tulou cluster.
For this year visit, my wife and myself signed up a day tour package from our hotel in Xiamen (Jinjiang Inn, Hexing West Road) and visited the Nanjing County Yun Shui Yao scenic ancient town & Fujian tulou clusters in the surrounding areas.
In Xiamen, many local tour agencies offer the following day tour packages (lunch included plus hotel pick-up at 06.30) to tourists so you have the options to choose one which suites your budget and time. The full day tour ended with 2 shopping visits to high end jewelry (jade, precious stones & pearl) and tea stores in Xiamen before sending us back to our hotels !
The prices quoted in December 2014 (low season) were:
- One day tour to Yongding Tulou - CNY138
- One day tour to Tianluokeng Tuloyu cluster - CNY178
- One day tour to Nanjing Yun Shui Yao + Tulou - CNY168
- One day tour to Hua Ann Tulou - CNY98
It is much more economical for you to sign up a day tour than doing a free & easy visit to these places as most tulou clusters are located in remote areas and public transport may not be that convenient. Nanjing county is about 38km from Zhangzhou, connected by a high speed train from Xiamen North station (130km).
Fujian tulou has 46 earthen buildings, built during the 15-20th century.
You Shu Yao ancient town is very scenic & picturesque so we chose the right tour package to visit this popular place. There is a big wheel or old mill at the center of Yun Shui Yao so take a slow walk to admire the surroundings.
The popular "Yun Shui Yao" film, a romantic drama was made in 2006 in this ancient town and was submitted for Best Foreign Language film at the 80th Academy Award.
