Zhenfu Lou
振福楼
An exquisite round tulou completed in the early Republican era, set against a mountain beside a stream, with fine woodcarvings inside. Nicknamed the 'Princess of Tulou,' it is part of the World Heritage Site.
Zhenfu Lou is in Xipian Village, Hukeng Town, Yongding District. It was built in 1913 and has a three-hall, two-courtyard round layout. It stands with its back to the mountain and faces a stream, with a small bridge in front. Its graceful exterior and fine interior details, including courtyards, galleries, and woodcarvings, have earned it the nickname 'Princess of Tulou.' It is part of the 2008 Fujian Tulou UNESCO World Heritage listing. Residents still live here, and you can buy tea and local specialties. It is near the entrance to the Nanxi Tulou Valley, about 15 minutes by car from Hongkeng, and it can be visited together with Yanxiang Lou and Huanji Lou.
