Tulou Viewing Platform Inn

The hotel is literally next to the Tulou buildings. The hotel room was very clean and comfortable.

Tulou Viewing Platform Inn is a wonderful choice for experiencing the charm of Fujian’s tulou culture. The location is unbeatable, offering breathtaking views of the iconic roundhouses. The owner is warm and hospitable, even cooking delicious local meals upon request. Amenities are basic but clean and well-maintained. Be aware of an entrance fee charged outside the main park—this is standard for visitors. Also, watch out for taxis trying to overcharge for entry into the park; negotiate the fare beforehand. Despite these minor inconveniences, the inn provides an authentic and memorable stay. Highly recommended for culture and nature enthusiasts!

What an amazing experience to live in the “chopsticks” buildings of the four dishes and one soup! This was a small and beautiful village and the family who ran the inn helped us carry our luggage up to the inn and later down to the inn. When we arrived they cooked a dinner which was reasonable in price based on a local menu. And then during dinner, they told us that one of the family members will be running a free tour of the Tulous of four dishes one soup for us in which they explained the history of the building of the tulous, especially the oval shaped tulou. Our guide was very funny with his stories (he spoke in Chinese) and it was a lovely time seeing the artists and candy makers in the Tulous. I would highly recommend this place. We did have to bring our own towels (or at least we brought our own and they didn’t supply one), so maybe best to check.
