http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Kaijulou is another square tulou built in 1834 with three halls forming the main part. This tulou resembles a "palace-style building" and the first we'd seen with decorations on the inside beams. The inner yard form a small patio enclose by the antechamber of the ancestral hall with cloisters on both sides of the central hall. Fuyulou tulou was the last tulou of the day and we were "dragging" and "sagging." This is a "Five Phoenix" style tulou, so called because the roofs are at different levels. Fuyulou turned out to be very engrossing because the residents here REALLY did go about their daily business including intense games of cards in the courtyard with wads of Yuan changing hands. This was a "living"..."breathing"...tulou. Residents were eating, schmoozing, sorting tea leaves, walking around and standing on tables to kibbutz the gambling. A perfect last tulou for the day.
