Up in the mountains, a couple of hours drive from home, are the defensive earth buildings constructed by the Hakka people. Each time we visit the different tulou clusters I find myself mesmerised; they are fascinating. One building was constructed only about 50 years ago but others are 300 years old. They can house up to a 100 people, and their poultry, and are, for the moment, still inhabited.
