Hekeng village tulou cluster, Historical residential complex in Fujian Province, China.
The Hekeng village contains multiple circular and rectangular earthen buildings featuring thick walls, central courtyards, and multi-story residential units arranged in clusters.
The construction of these fortified communal residences began in the 12th century as a response to frequent bandit attacks in the mountainous regions.
Each tulou building accommodates up to 80 families of the same clan, with equal-sized rooms distributed across multiple floors around a shared central space.
The site lies within three hours from Xiamen city, with regular transportation services and local guides available for architectural and cultural tours.
The structures incorporate rammed earth, wood, and bamboo materials in their construction, creating natural temperature regulation throughout different seasons.
