Preserving the culture of Fujian's iconic tulous - SilverKris
"A small cluster of earth-built Hakka tulou dating back to the late 18th century, the site has a peaceful, subdued atmosphere and serves as a visible example of communal living arranged around shared courtyards. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008, it attracts a steady stream of tourists and channels renovation money to support upkeep, while locals supplement incomes by selling handicrafts; nonetheless, the wider regional trend of youth migration to cities means long-term demographic decline remains a concern." - Jamie Fullerton
