The tǔ lóu building is a special residence in China .

Central China was in a state of war in the 10th century. Large numbers of people migrated to the mountainous region in southeast China. They built tǔ lóu with clay and rocks for living and defense. Circles of rooms are enclosed by another circle. Rooms are connected by round corridors . The second floor is used as a granary. The third and fourth floors are used as bedrooms. There are more than 300 rooms in the largest tǔ lóu, which can accommodate more than 800 people. The center of tǔ lóu is the public area with wells and kitchens.

Family meetings are held on the axis. People have lived in the tǔ lóu, cooking, washing clothes, and holding ceremonies for ancestor worship in harmony for hundreds of years.

Now tǔ lóu are open to the public. You can experience the family love and unsophisticated customs when you pass by the lovely windows.
