There is one thing that sets the Hakka apart in China -‐ their architecture: they build enormous round communal houses called tulou. A tulou is a round or square-‐shaped home for an entire community, capable of housing hundreds of people. The oldest of the tulou is more than 600 years old. The Hakka, who have suffered much in China, built these unusual homes like fortresses as a way of defending themselves. The only doorway, which is several metres thick, enabled the Hakka to easily fight of invaders and to remain in control of their whole-‐village homes. Circular and up to four stories, most tulou are 10 metres high with the largest being almost 20 metres, and have a diameter of up to 77 metres. The walls are 1.5 metres thick and made of dried earth and brick. This means that the tulou are cool in summer and warm in winter. The tulou are built around a central courtyard, which serves as the village meeting place for the inhabitants and where they can live self-‐sufficiently for many months. In the middle of the tulou is the ancestral hall, the common space where the hundreds of inhabitants celebrate marriages and organize funerals. Everything is built in such a way so that the residents of the community practically never have to leave. There are still almost 400 such fortress-‐homes today. The windows of the tulou that look outward are very small in order to avoid all attacks. Each family occupies one vertical unit. The kitchens and bathrooms are on the ground floor, storage areas on the first floor, while the bedrooms are on the second and third floors. In the two floors of the outer circle, there are 30 to 50 rooms for guests. The tulou were classified in 2008 as World Heritage by UNESCO. Still little known outside of China, these unusual village houses are attracting more and more tourists from within China. fáng zi 房子 chú fáng 厨房 gōng yù kè tīng 客厅 公寓 yù shì 浴室 cè suǒ 厕所 fàn tīng shū fáng yáng tái wò shì huā yuán yóu yǒng chí 饭厅 卧室 书房 花园 阳台 游泳池
