Chengqi Tulou, Traditional communal residence in Yongding County, China.

The Chengqi Tulou consists of four concentric rings surrounding a central ancestral hall, with 288 rooms spread across multiple levels.

Construction of this earth-built residence was completed in 1709, during the Qing Dynasty, to protect Hakka families from external threats.

The circular structure contains living spaces for multiple families, reflecting Chinese principles of community living and shared responsibilities.

Visitors reach the site by bus from Xiamen or Longyan cities to Yongding County, followed by local transportation to the Gaobei Tulou cluster.

The building's walls, made from compacted earth mixed with stone and bamboo, measure 150 centimeters thick and extend across 62.6 meters in diameter.
