Funky Construction


This 1330 built tulou was originally made like this. Supposedly the builders were not given enough tasty food so they made the 5 story supports slanted like this on purpose (some as much as 15 degrees off). It is still standing but it looks really strange. Another unique feature is that each kitchen has its own well with drinkable water. In most Tulous the well was a community one located in the center of the circle.
