Travel to a quiet hamlet in the subtropical mountains west of Xiamen and immerse yourself in Hakka community life by staying overnight in a 400-year-old tulou, still inhabited by members of the founding Zhang clan. Learn everything there is to know about life in a tulou, as you have unrestricted access to these giant square and round shaped communal homes made from earth and wood. Discover, or taste, hidden village gems and hike the rolling tea bush covered hills, which have shielded this community from the outside world for centuries. A great opportunity to slow down, explore and drink (lots of) tea.
