Canon EOS 700D The Fujian tulou are Chinese rural dwellings unique to the Hakka in the mountainous areas in southeastern Fujian, China. They were mostly built between the 12th and the 20th centuries. A tulou is usually a large, enclosed and fortified earth building, most commonly rectangular or circular in configuration, with very thick load-bearing rammed earth walls between three and five stories high and housing up to 800 people. Smaller interior buildings are often enclosed by these huge peripheral walls which can contain halls, storehouses, wells and living areas, the whole structure resembling a small fortified city. Les tulou du Fujian sont des architectures traditionnelles situées dans la province du Fujian, dans le sud-est de la Chine. Ces bâtiments communautaires sont habités par les Hakka.Ainsi, plusieurs expressions sont utilisées pour désigner ces résidences : "tulou Hakka", "forteresse Hakka", etc. En 2008, 46 tulou de la province du Fujian ont été inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Ce type d'architecture a été inscrit en tant qu' : "exemples de bâtiments exceptionnels de par leur taille, leur tradition de construction et leur fonction, ils constituent un exemple unique de peuplement humain, fondé sur une vie en communauté et des besoins défensifs tout en maintenant une relation harmonieuse avec leur environnement."
