Tulou
Surviving section of the front (southern) wall of Xishuang Lou
Numerous Fujian Tulou, earth buildings of round, rectangular and other shapes, can be found within the administrative borders of Xiazhai Town. One of them, Xishuang Lou (西爽楼), located in Xi'an Village a few kilometers north of Xiazhai town center, has been described by some researchers as the "largest of the rectangular [tulou] in existence".[1] Only parts of the compound have survived to this day.

gollark: I generally consider group violence a bad thing to be avoided.
gollark: I don't think that would work:- people would *obviously* try and represent themselves as cooperative when they aren't- just having 150 representatives a level probably won't help because you are not communicating with these people outside of... representative duties
gollark: That means you still need to work out resource allocation/conflict resolution for the larger-scale things.
