quote [ I've made my trip to China's biggest traditional communal home - Fujian Tulou?
Tulou has been the inspiration of many famous movies, such as Mulan, big fish and begonia, kongfu panda, etc. In reality, they are the traditional home of Hakka people, housing up to 800 people!

Luckily, I have met a very hospitable Hakka lady who showed me the real life inside the Tulou! ]
