Yijing Lou
遗经楼
A very large square tulou in Gaobei Town, with a building within a building, completed over several decades. It is one of the largest square tulou in Yongding.
Yijing Lou is in Shangyang Village, Gaobei Town, Yongding District. The Chen family spent several decades completing it during the Qing dynasty. The main building is a five-story square tulou, and inside it are halls, a study hall, and ancillary houses, creating a 'building within a building' layout with hundreds of rooms. It is one of the largest square tulou in Yongding and is a nationally key cultural heritage site. A broad stone courtyard and stone flagpoles stand in front. The site is far from the main Hukeng attractions, so it draws fewer visitors. It is about 30 minutes by car from Yongding town and suits visitors with a deep interest in tulou architecture.
