The World Heritage Village of Taxia in Nanjing, Zhangzhou, Fujian

🏯Hiding in the heart of the Fujian Tulou Kingdom is a healing ancient village secretly treasured by Chinese National Geography! Green tiles and earthen walls nestle against streams, and century-old stone bridges accompany ancient banyan trees! When the morning mist sweeps over the "Tilted Building"! I finally understood what it means to say "time passes slowly in the mountains." 📍Taxia Village, Nanjing, Zhangzhou, is a hidden gem a mere 20-minute drive from Yunshuiyao! 🎊2-Day, 1-Night Itinerary 📍Day 1: Tianluokeng ➡️ Yuchang Building ➡️ Overnight stay in Taxia Village 📍Day 2: Hekeng Tulou Cluster ➡️ Shiqiao Village ➡️ Ziyun Mountain Ecological Garden ➡️ Return trip 🎊Taxia Village Experience 📍Panoramic Viewing Platform of the Tai Chi Water Village 📍Deyuan Hall with its 24 Stone Dragon Flagpoles 📍Visit the Tsingpu Culture Boutique Hotel, a renovated century-old tulou 📍Shop for mountain goods at the market day 🎊Four Dishes and a Soup at Tianluokeng 🏯When five tulous arrange themselves into the mysterious formation of four dishes and a soup on the terraced fields, even the clouds and mist become part of their plating and decoration. Squares and circles are scattered in layers, rammed earth walls contain the genes of glutinous rice and bamboo, and the ripples of the terraced fields spread towards the mountains. 🚙 : 15 min drive from Taxia Village 🎊Yuchang Building ⛰️A "dangerous building" hidden in the mountains, leaning precariously for 700 years! The 20-meter-high beams and columns are collectively tilted like drunken men, smoke still rises from the 26 old stoves under the patio, the waterways carved out by ancestors flow with mountain spring water from the Ming Dynasty, and looking up, the five-story wooden corridor looks like the keys of a piano blown by the wind, yet it plays a legend that will never fall. 🚙 : 8 min drive from Taxia Village 🏨Recommended Accommodation 🏡Huazhu · Listening to the Spring (Nanjing Tulou) 📍This time, I stayed at the Listening to the Spring Homestay in Taxia Village, a secluded mountain residence hidden in the mountains, surrounded by historical century-old tulou building complexes, where you can spend a few days living in the mountains. 📍The room I stayed in had both the sense of age of a tulou and a very modern artistic design, making for a great accommodation experience. 📍Brewing a pot of tea on the terrace outside the room and sitting quietly listening to the rain is a 100-point experience on this trip!! 🗺Address: No. 138, Daba, Taxia Village, Shuyang Town, Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province ⚠️Tips: [One] It is a 1-hour chartered car ride directly from Nanjing Railway Station (CNY 50 per person for a shared ride). [Two] You must buy a joint ticket to enter the village (Tianluokeng + Yuchang Building + Taxia Village CNY 90). [Three] There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening! Bring a light jacket. 🌇When dusk sweeps over the century-old waterwheel at the entrance of the village! Watching the lanterns gradually light up in the tulou, I suddenly understood the obsession in "Big Fish & Begonia"! It turns out that there really is scenery in the world that makes people willing to be confined to one place.
