Hongkeng Tulou Cluster, Earth fortresses in Hongkeng Village, China
The Hongkeng cluster contains multiple circular and rectangular earthen buildings created with thick walls made of stone, bamboo, and wood materials.
The structures served as communal residences for Hakka families from the 12th to 20th centuries, providing protection against potential invaders in southeastern China.
Zhencheng Lou building incorporates Greek columns into its traditional Chinese design, reflecting the exchange between Eastern and Western architectural elements in 1912.
The site opens from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM in winter and 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM in summer, with entrance tickets costing 90 yuan per person.
The defensive structures feature gun holes at upper levels, while accommodating up to 800 residents across multiple stories within their circular walls.
