Heed advice and succeed! The experience of the Chuxi Tulou in Yongding is excellent!

Originally planned to navigate directly to "Yongding Tulou", the hotel front desk recommended Chuxi Tulou saying there are fewer people, so I searched online and found out that "Yongding" is the name of this area, everyone is Yongding Tulou, and indeed many netizens say that Chuxi has fewer tourists. - After arriving, it felt like a deserted scenic spot... There were probably only twenty or thirty tourists, and when we left the scenic spot at 5 o'clock, there were only two private cars left. - Hired a guide to lead the way and learned that it was because it was further from Zhangzhou and Xiamen, Zhangzhou/Xiamen would rather plan a day trip to Gaobei Tulou (Tulou King/Chengqi Building), Hongkeng Tulou (Tulou Prince). If you come to Chuxi Tulou, you have to spend an extra hour round trip. So Chuxi is relatively quiet, and there is not much commercialization, which is very suitable for those who want to take pictures. - The Jiqing Building in the scenic area is a reference in "Big Fish Begonia", the red carpet scene comes from Jiqing Building, and Jiqing Building is also a rare Tulou in the nearby Tulou group that can go upstairs directly. The residents of the entire building have moved out and the building is open as an exhibition hall. - P 1-2: Viewing platform perspective P 3-4: Check in Big Fish Begonia P 5-6: Outside of the Tulou and viewing platform P 7: Jiqing Building P 8: Big Fish Begonia scene P 9: Outside of Chengqi Building - But the lights are not turned on at night in Chuxi Tulou, the guide said that the lights are turned on at night in Gaobei Tulou/Chengqi Building, Hongkeng Tulou, and the tradition of coming here... I have to take a night scene of the same style as Big Fish Begonia, and drive half an hour to Gaobei Tulou, paid a little "sanitation fee" to the local aunt to take me upstairs, but I was a bit disappointed, the movie is computer-made, it is impossible to reproduce 1:1 in reality, adjusted multiple angles, focal lengths, it is hard to find a satisfactory one. - When leaving, I took a turn, and indeed Gaobei/Hongkeng is more commercialized, the scenic area gate outside Zhencheng Building/Huanxing Building is a rustic light show, the tourist center to Gaobei Tulou are all restaurants, tea shops, and locals will also sell tea and cigarettes. - Commercialization is an effective way for locals to increase income, and it can also meet some of the catering and shopping needs of commercial groups, but excessive commercialization inevitably affects some people's travel experience. - "The places we used to go to were archaeological sites or palaces and temples, but the Tulou is different. For the people living here, the Tulou is their home."--Bankruptcy Brothers - Tips/Summary: 1. The lights are not turned on at night in Chuxi Tulou. But the Jiqing Building in Chuxi Tulou is uninhabited, and there will be no residents' laundry in the picture when taking pictures. 2. The play time in Chuxi Tulou is about 2 hours, it is recommended to arrive before 3 o'clock at the latest. It takes about 75 minutes to drive from Longyan city. 3. There is basically no public transportation, it is recommended to drive/rent a car to go. 4. Gaobei Tulou/Chengqi Building is free to enter after the security guard gets off work at night (the restaurant owner nearby said the time is 8.20). Enter through the tourist center gate after parking. 5. Forget about staying in the Tulou... The local aunt took me to see it, it's a bit tough.
