Fujian Tulou, Giant Communal Homes In China

Fujian Tulou are unique Chinese rural buildings constructed by the Hakka people from Fujian Province, China. They were mostly built between the12th and the 20th centuries. They have several stories high and are enclosed by a thick earth wall. One of the main aims, while buildings were constructed, was to provide a defensible living area for the Hakka people. The top-level of Fujian Tulou has gun holes for defensive purposes. The largest ones could have been housing almost 800 people.
