TULOU HISTORY

Tulou is a round fort-like building, often called the world’s first condominium, of South East China’s Hakka people. Constructed with earth and rice straw, the multi-storied Tulou was used for communal living; families coming together in the circular centre for shared activities, festivities and meals.Its shape was designed for defence, but also conforms to the ancient principles of Feng Shui, creating energy flow,harmony as well as warding off evil spirits. These ‘Earth Building’ were inscribed by UNESCO as a cluster of World Cultural Heritage Sites in 2008.

Chiang Mai’s first Tulou follows this tradition. Using Feng Shui, Tulou as been designed to harness the invisible forces that bind the universe, earth, and humanity together, known as Qi, an energy which flows throughout the building.
