Introduction

-The classic Tulou-style architecture in Fujian features four circular buildings surrounding a square building, often jokingly referred to as "four dishes and one soup." A famous architect described it in poetry as "overlooking it resembles a blooming flower, from the side it is like the Potala Palace." -Tianluokeng has various ways to enjoy its beauty, with different angles offering unique perspectives. From a bird's eye view, a panoramic view, or looking up, one can appreciate a 360-degree view of the scenery. -The observation deck is the most classic viewing point, offering a complete view of "four dishes and one soup" from atop the mountain. -The interior of the Tulou buildings are mostly commercialized, with vendors occupying the first floor and some offering accommodation services on the upper floors.
