Nanxi Tulou Cluster (Yanxiang Lou)

The Nanxi Tulou cluster is the name applied to a section of the Nanxi ("South Creek") Valley in Hukeng Town (Yongding County), which for a distance of several kilometers is almost continuously built up with tulous. For its striking visual effect, the area is referred to by some authors as the "Tulou Great Wall". One of the tulous in this large cluster, the Yanxiang Lou, a round tulou in Xinnan Village figures on the World Heritage List as Site 1113-004.
