Itinerary

Stop 1

Your private driver will pick you up at your hotel lobby at your chosen departure time. Sit in an air-conditioned and non-smoking private vehicle for a 2.5-hour drive. Upon arrival, you’ll have enough time to take a stroll in this picturesque Yunshuiyao Ancient Village where you will get to know the history and related culture in the area with the
help of a local and warm-hearted guide. Continue your visit to Huaiyuan Building. Huaiyuan Building is the most exquisite and best protected double-ring earth building. The most striking thing about Huaiyuan Building is that the ancestral hall, which is the core of the inner courtyard, is the place where the children of the family study "Si is the room". Then head to He Gui Lou which is the highest tulou house in Fujian. It indicates that He Gui Lou has more than 200 years of history as the traditional Chinese rammed earth construction technology had reached its crest.
