Constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited with feng shui principles and are purposefully nestled amidst tea, tobacco, and rice fields and bountiful forests of pine and bamboo.

Constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, the walls of these communal structures can reach heights of up to 60 feet. What do you find most interesting about this UNESCO World Heritage site?
that nobody took the time to measure it in metric. *kuch kuch*
Hey there, National Geographic. I love your videos but it is difficult to read the words and watch the video, and enjoy each image, at the same time. Could you find a human being to narrate the words? I say 'human being' because I would boycott your channel if you used a computer generated voice. Yes, I know I can stop the footage and start again but that's not one does when watching a t.v. show so why should I do this with youtube? Anyway, just a suggestion. Cheers.
Fascinating. So this is where Apple found inspiration for its "state of the art" headquarters. The rounded design has been around for centuries. And yet people thought that the shape of the Apple headquarters was so innovative. Who knew.
My favorite part, oddly both reassuring and disturbing at the same time, was the array of SATELLITE DISHES on the roof!
National Geographic this is so amazing! Love the music and may I ask the name of this music? Thanks!
Lived in the Tulou when I was a child. Proud of my hometown!
I've just seen a film, "Big Fish and Begonia", and there were those houses. I thought they were just a product of the imagination of the movie creators. At the end of the movie I discovered that they actually exist, incredible! You should be really proud of your culture :D
Nice to meet you.
Wow u r from the hometown of Mulan
@@SuccessforLifester
Mulan is from the North actually
@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 I based it from the movie 😂
I don't know why but this video made me so happy. Maybe it's the music
If you watch the Chinese animated movie _Big Fish & Begonia_ 大鱼海棠 the house that the villagers live in are inspired from these communal houses.
Also the new Mulan film,and The wrath of Vajra film.
No matter how ancient or remote an area is, I am always amazed to see people with cable dishes........and this is for all peoples everywhere in the planet.
I spent a few days living with a local family in one of the Tulou in 2017. It was a unique and memorable experience. Unlike many other heritage sites in China, this one is very alive. It was very nice talking to the residents whose family have been living there for centuries and the Hakka lanague is very fun to learn too!
Part Fortress, part affordable housing!
Simply unique. Surprisingly, there still inhabitants. Would love to visit the site someday, along with the homestay. Thanks National Geographic for sharing.
It seems possibility, they are located in some cities name '龙岩-永定 / LongYan-YongDing' '漳州-南靖 / ZhangZhou-NanZhing', I used to bicycle through this area and have a good impression for there people, some hills are beautiful tea plantations.
Doubt it
Can you believe these communal structures were built between the 15th and 20th centuries, Azliana? We hope you get to have an immersive Hakka experience at this UNESCO heritage site!
I actually don't believe it. This is fake news
yes, it is partial fake, you can check more tulou on the road and all of it beign almost totally ruined.
This place needs diversity, and multi culturalism
I've been there for a school field trip. I stayed in a Tulou for a week
I have been to this place ages ago, it was so amazing! People saying not even a nail is used to build these structures. And the "Round" shape make defense a lot easier, against other tribes.
Simple and amazing 😍
Aren't these breathtaking? These giant communal homes are spectacular relics of traditional rural Chinese architecture.
Imagine that in America and trying to get the village to agree on what to watch on Netflix lol
It's 2020, switch "get the village to agree on what to watch on Netflix" with "get the village to wear masks when outside."
@@EzioIlMentore it’s 2021 switch obligatory COVID joke with literally anything else
At first I thought it was some cool creative modern architecture but I was surprised to see how old they were!
Sure most people only devote half a day. NatGeo only devoted a minute fifteen ;-)
David Buschhorn hate that
A minute fifteen is too much. I yawned through half of it :-) In our microwave society, a minute is forever.
*tapping foot* "I haven't got all *_minute!_*
Look like truck tires when you look fast
Visited here in year 2017... very unique 👍🏻
Thats incredible! And the music is on point too :P
Wow! Donuts-shaped communal homes make good relationship between neighbours. What's a good philosophy. My country should apply this. God bless all of us folks
Chinese music, do you like it?
宝 宝
To be honest, mostly no
Yes it s so happy vibes
I love it ,from india
宝 宝 like you more ☺😉😂
@@prakharpandey3579 lol at least you were honest
I love China
I visited the tulous a few months ago. They really are amazing structures and I like the community aspect of it.
This is the setting of the Chinese amine Big Fish, isn't it? Great!
WOW, I WOULD LOVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!
BUCKET LIST!
AWESOME!
Thanks National Geographic, always learn from you!
Sending positive vibes your way.
PEACE LOVE & DREAM'S! 🇨🇦

We hope you have the opportunity to visit, Crystal! The most elaborate of these structures date back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
I've traveled a lot in my youth touring North America as A Model, Actress & Singer. unfortunately I'm now criticaly I'll, & Just Dream of the Day I have enough money saved to do even a few. I'm writing A Bio &; Screenplay. I pray that is successful! Poverty is all I need to get out of. My illness cost me my livelyhood, so I'm doing the best I can!
One should continue to DREAM!
PEACE LOVE & DREAM'S!🇨🇦💞🔄🌐📷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌎💕🌏💗🌍💖💯🎬
Crystal Elk I would like to check you out , you are in my list of lovers.
ancient apartment
if u curious about Tulou you should check out a Chinese animated movie called "big fish"
During the Cold War, the United States thought it was a nuclear missile launching facility.
Thumbs up for the music.
Great and fantastic music!! What is the title of this song?
Too bad we cant all live like this!!!
Be careful what you wish for...
Being 1/2 American indian, I'll pass.
@@bmrigs i feel sad for your thinking about
That's pretty cool. Keeps people out and has an secret escape route.
That's awesome
When they say "communal homes", do they mean shared facilities like kitchens or bath houses, or is this just an early version of an apartment complex? I've heard of actual communal homes somewhere in one of the Scandinavian countries where several families have separate private rooms (bedroons, bathrooms, etc.) but there is a shared kitchen or workspace or recreational area.
They have shared kitchen and bathrooms.other than that the rooms private.
Interesting. So this is where Apple found inspiration for its "state of the art" headquarters. The rounded design has been around for centuries. And yet people thought that the shape of Apple's new headquarters was so innovative. Afterall it is Apple, and they are the king of design. Who knew.
Those buildings look just like tires.
Jonathan Springs thats what i thought to when i saw it!
Lol, at the beggining I tought the same.
thats what i thought to when i saw the thumbnail. that's why i clicked this video XD
One day the ancient aliens will return on their flying monster truck and take their tires back. That will signal the beginning of the apocalypse.
Nice
I was surprised actually to find that the place in film BIG FISH AND BEGONIA is a real place in this world I'm really happy :) I would like to visit it sooner
I love china
From up high those circular houses look like rubber tires. 😂
Probably the only thing that caught my interest in Mulan.
The one in california is not Apple hq. This is the real apple hq. 😋
The cia thought it is some kind of ICBM village.. haha
Thumbnail made me think they were giant tires lol
so amazing.
Cool stuff
Wow. Those people can really walk fast. Hahahaha.
Nice apartment complexes.
I hope i get to visit my grandpa' homeland someday
Thought they were tires at first.
Fujian is underrated
I actually at first thought it was an aerial shot of a bunch of used tires in a field. Cool, I guess.
Whats the name of the music piece used in the background?
Big Fish and Begonia movie! I didn't think they were real! lol. The animated chinese movie has this
Close-knited group with full of cultures and traditions.
The reason why Hakka people build their homes like a castle is simple. The wars
between Hakka and the locals were brutal, if defeated, the whole village will be killed.
Want this in that Chollywood movie?
We have one in Taiwan as well, in Miaoli (苗栗)! It’s more of a replica though, housing a museum. We call it the 客家圓樓 (Hakka Round Building). We do have Hakka populations in Taiwan, but, as far as I can tell, they are pretty well integrated into the mainstream Taiwanese Han culture now, and people are fighting very hard to preserve the culture in Taiwan. Every now and then we do have Hakka words sneaking into our daily vernaculars though.
Wow!
So cool
Good video
So, it just like affordable apartment building that look nice and can stand for hundred years.
Cool! Is this the HIDDEN leaf village?
‘’missile silos”, said the American military intelligence officers at the first sight of those Tulou in the satellite pictures
We didn't see much shrugs disappointed.
BEST AIR BNB EVER!!!
Where is the look inside these homes, as the title says?
I know Ngai it is a small dialect in China. Very few people know Ngai
Really interested from china 😱
does anyone know what the music is or the artists?
They wont let me go to the next building.I must stay
Watch is a 30 second ad for a one minute video really RUclips Is low....
2 min, good job
Perfect Zombie proof homes!!! Love it. I’m a Hakka-American.
I love chinis culture...korean culture and japanis culture....😘😘
Must get hot/cold in there, microclimate of sorts
AnimalsAndReports In fact this unique structure make the indoor temperature warm doing cold time and vice versa
+李昊
how?
Phish N' Chimps Simple version is the clay that used to make this tulou （direct translation is mud house）can absord water/heat in the air when the climate is wet/hot and release water/heat when it's dry/cold, and this structure make the environment kinda enclosed but still providing fresh air...for the details you have to ask a physicists, but surely you understand that ppl won't choose to live in a building like this for hundred years unless it's comfortable :)
Oh... so basically what every culture in the world has done. ok, thank you.
Phish N' Chimps why’d you ask then lol
Rumah leluhur kami zaman dulu 👍
Perfect for any zombie apocalypse
Round buildings would be a benefit against hurricanes because of no sharp right angles. The movie "At Play In The Fields Of God" showed a one-story round-house for the whole tribe, in the Amazon jungle. Looked comfy!
china is
awesome
And if I tell you these Tulou are from 1000 years ago🐸
i wish we have these communal homes in india too
Bakcsound title plizz?
i knew about this place but never knew the name. glad to finally to know it. and does anybody know if this is the place of origin of hakka noodles?
Did apple park get its inspiration from this? :P
Brasil decime que se siente, haber perdido la final
Can’t read and view the photos at the same time 👎🏽
That is what pause is for.
Then pause it.
to [pause] any You Tube video, simply click on the picture; click again to start.
p.s. I am hakka ngin.
This is how it should be but you know some people will do some bad things and homes like this but I believe this is how it should be
Dewey Warren Community living at its finest! Only those who can 'get along with others' can live there! Love surrounding too! 💖💖 & 🙏for All, from Elaina, in 🇺🇸. 👍 Shalom. 😉
Very Interesting. Can I get a gif?
The circular ones look reminiscent of Shakespeare's Globe theater.
It look like APPL PARK...
Hakka Chinese food is the best Chinese food
I've always wondered why people of other nations don't like Asians particularly Chinese in large volumes to settle in their communities. Saying they cough without covering their mouths or are greedy, dont know how to drive, eat pets, etc... They have such a great culture.
i think yongding tulou is better than Nanjing tulou. some villages in yongding is incredibly beautiful, even if without tulou
reminds me of Kungfu Hustle somehow lol
Looks like something out of Morrowind.
what was the map called from battlefield 2 with the chinese village and the nuclear plant
You could say they are the first condominiums
Wanna live there
Yes China tulou, live by chinese hakka Community, me also chinese hakka, live in Malaysia.
worked at a specific moment in time, at a specific place.
Now we have the same thing. But they are Towers. Equal spaces for each unit.
