Traditional vernacular architecture
Longnan County is notable for the variety of traditional Hakka walled villages in Jiangxi.[1] [2] By one count, there are around 370 of them within the county's boundaries.[1] They are known locally as weiwu (围屋) or wei (围);[1] some researchers call them "Jiangxi tulou" (literally, "[tall] earthen buildings"), as opposed to the better known Fujian tulou.[3]
