With the development of scenic spots, the number of practitioners engaged in tulou tourism has also increased sharply, but the good and the bad are mixed. At one time, there were all kinds of strategies about tulou on the Internet, not to mention the strategies written by countless guests who had actually been there. What is even more puzzling is that there are many different sayings in the Raiders, which make the upcoming hikers confused and spend a lot of time doing their homework, but when they arrive at the scenic spots, they are often inconsistent with the situation described in the homework. There are actually two reasons. First, our newly developed scenic spots have changed rapidly in all aspects, and the strategy in the first half of the year may not be applicable in the second half; Second, the stay time of tourists and friends in the scenic spot is generally within 1-2 days. What they saw in the scenic spot was very personal and one-sided, misleading the upcoming donkey friends.
These two days, our customer service classmates complained to me that the efficiency of online customer service reception was too low, so that his workload was too heavy. We did some statistics. A group of guests and our questions and answers were recorded on 1 1 page, which took about 40 minutes. In fact, we found that most of the problems of donkey friends are similar, focusing on the choice of scenic spots, the understanding of accommodation and the traffic conditions of scenic spots. Now I'll sort out some important questions that must be understood when going to Tulou, so that the upcoming donkey friends can spend 15 minutes in Tulou.
I. Selection of Tulou Scenic Area:
Tulou are mainly distributed in Nanjing, Yongding and Hua 'an counties, among which Nanjing and Yongding World Heritage Sites are the most concentrated. Tulou has distinctive features and geographical connections, so travelers who go to Tulou metropolis choose to go to these two scenic spots. According to our self-help tour experience of Tulou for more than two years, we found that many donkey friends often fall into the misunderstanding of wanting to see Tulou all over. In fact, the donkey friends have come all the way, and they are likely to come all their lives. This idea is not difficult to understand, but there are tens of thousands of earth buildings in southwest Fujian as the main living style. There are only 46 earth buildings listed as world heritage sites. How much time and money does it take to read them? More importantly, the style and architectural pattern of tulou are very similar, which makes most donkey friends see 10. Therefore, I would like to remind friends who are going to visit Tulou that when planning, they should not blindly pursue more seats, which will only waste people and money and reduce the quality of the tour, thus violating the original intention of self-help tour.
Here we take the most classic 2-day tour as an example to recommend the route arrangement for everyone:
Starting from Xiamen on the first day (similar to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou), you can reach Tulou Scenic Area in 3 hours, and the arrival time is basically lunch time. After lunch, arrange to visit the scenic spot of Yunshuiyao and the legendary Hegui Building in the swamp. As soon as we get out of the gate of Hegui Building, we can walk on the country road leading to the scenic ancient town of Yunshuiyao. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, we will unconsciously walk through the ancient road of clouds and water ballads and reach the place with the most complete defense function.
Depart for Tianluokeng in the evening, 30-40 minutes' drive, arrive before dark, and check into Xiaohui Inn. After a hard day's work, we are already hungry. We have arranged a wealth of tulou farm dishes for the donkey friends to enjoy. What needs to be explained here is that the food we provide is different from other restaurants in the scenic spot. We are not open to the public, so we provide it to our residents. The number of dishes is absolutely rich and distinctive. More importantly, we regard the arrangement of this meal as a thank-you for the trust of our friends. We use the same brand of bottled cooking oil as your family, regardless of the cost. In order to make you eat happily, eat with confidence. After dinner, folk artists of Tulou often gather in Wenchang Building to perform some folk music performances, sing Hakka folk songs or have fun with donkey friends and sing old songs, which is simple and melodious. Don't forget that Tianluokeng is the only place in Tulou with a night view. Take the observation deck to see the snail pit in the night. Don't be shocked. As long as it doesn't rain, you can enjoy the cool, drink tea and chat in the courtyard of Tulou, which is very pleasant!
Spend a night in the cultural heritage. When you wake up in the morning, you can go to the observation deck again. The morning scene of the snail pit is another kind of beauty, with clouds and flowers.
The next day, after breakfast, we began to visit Yuchang Building (with a history of 700 years) in Tianluokeng Scenic Area, which is the oldest building in Tulou World Heritage and feel the vicissitudes of history. Then we drove to Taxia Village, a high mountain water town, to enjoy the glory of small bridges and flowing water and Hakka families. Then return to the bus departure station and get on the bus to return to Xiamen.
This arrangement has several advantages, which you can analyze:
There is basically no turning back in the whole journey. You can take the shortest route and see the most beautiful scenery.
Avoid the peak of tourists. Tianluokeng Scenic Area is a key scenic spot for one-day tour. Every day 1 1 is the peak of tour groups gathering at 2 pm, and the traffic is relatively large. We arranged this time in Yunshuiyao Scenic Area, where the flow of people is relatively small. The next day, when we visited Tianluokeng Scenic Area, it was just before the tourists arrived. Therefore, the two-day trip will not encounter tourists.
The most beautiful time period of each scenic spot. The most beautiful Yao night, the morning and evening scenery of Tianluokeng, are all in our bag.
Two half-day trips are interspersed with natural scenery or human landscape, instead of blindly looking at the earth building to prevent aesthetic fatigue from happening prematurely.
If you are not satisfied with the itinerary of Tulou, it is also quite convenient to go to Yongding Tulou from Taxia Village, and you can reach Chengqi Building in 20 minutes.
If you have a one-day tour, a three-day tour or more special route requirements, you can refer to our website or consult our customer service, and we will give you suggestions according to your specific situation.
2. Accommodation options:
Of course, it is the first choice to visit tulou and live in it! People who like to experience the life of tulou and feel the breath of aboriginal life choose to live in tulou. Apart from the lack of separate toilets and air conditioning, cleanliness is no problem. There is a dedicated toilet downstairs (independent use is not open * * *), cable TV and broadband wireless router, all of which have been equipped. Being personally received by Xiaohui and Hui Hui's parents is like being at home. Don't forget there are many lovely ones.
Guests with high requirements or older children are advised to live in a modern house with separate bathrooms and air conditioning. For details, please refer to the "Donkey Nest Show" on our website, with detailed pictures and comments to enrich your choice.
Three means of transportation:
For self-help tourists, the number is generally 2-4. It is recommended to take the direct bus from Xiamen to Tianluokeng and depart from Xiamen Hubin South Long-distance Station at 8: 30 every morning. This is the most direct way to take a ride to Tulou, and the car condition is also the best.
Just because there is only one car, you often can't get tickets when you arrive at the station on the day of departure, which delays passengers' travel. With long-term good relations with flight attendants, we provide voluntary purchase service. Save you the time and energy of buying tickets in advance and the pain of queuing.
How to take the bus: arrive at the station 20 minutes in advance, call the flight attendant (the telephone number will be sent to everyone after booking), tell Xiaohui the names of the guests and the booking person, and then get on the bus with the ticket. Be sure to send us a text message or call us when you get on the bus, so that you can watch the scenery or sleep with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about where to get off or where to buy tickets. We will contact the flight attendant to confirm the arrival time of the bus. In most cases, we can pick up the car at the station in advance (we will call everyone when we get on the bus). Under special circumstances, if we can't pick up the bus, we will also tell the flight attendants to remind everyone where to get off. This is the quality service we provide.
Use the car between scenic spots. Because the scenic spots in Tulou Scenic Area are scattered, the sightseeing bus in the scenic spot is of little use to tourists who travel by themselves, so we provide carpooling service between scenic spots to facilitate the tourists to visit.
Two modes of Xiamen round-trip carpooling
In order to let you enjoy better service, we have opened a direct carpooling mode in Xiamen. If there are more than six people coming that day, we can organize vehicles to receive everyone directly from Xiamen. The two-day tour of Tulou is accompanied by vehicles, including the shuttle bus between Xiamen and the scenic spots, so that you can enjoy more comfortable feelings and flexible schedules without increasing your expenses. Of course, the premise is that there is no way to implement it if the number of people reaches a certain number. If you want to carpool all the way, please tell our customer service and we will try our best to coordinate the arrangement.
Four about dining:
In the dining room:
At present, the overall consumption price of restaurants in Nanjing scenic spots will be higher than that of ordinary food stalls 15% to 20%. The phenomenon that black-hearted merchants collude with tour guides to deceive customers is a common problem in all scenic spots. There are not many phenomena in Tulou Scenic Area, but we should not be careless. Be sure to ask the price before ordering. I can give you a reference here. The price of a chicken stew soup (whole chicken) is 60-70 yuan. If it exceeds this price, I suggest you change your home. Don't listen to the statement that his chickens are well raised or that other people's families are not native chickens.
In our home:
The donkey friends who live in Tianluokeng have a good time, and they can enjoy the delicious farm breakfast and dinner prepared by Xiaohui's mother, Aunt Zhu. (Lunch is not provided. First, time and energy are not allowed. Second, according to the route arrangement, lunch is usually in other places. )
I believe you can't wait, so let's see what good food Aunt Zhu will prepare for us.
Breakfast is nutritious. Rice porridge or sweet potato porridge is usually arranged. Each person will arrange a poached egg or scrambled eggs with shredded radish, a steamed bread or a white fragrant cake, and there will be side dishes such as shredded bamboo shoots and pickled cabbage.
Dinner is very rich, and the common dishes are:
Chicken root soup and duck root soup (stewed chicken and duck soup with local wild roots and roots can be very delicious without any seasoning, and wild roots and roots have a good health care effect on the body).
Fresh bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms, pork belly or dried pig's trotters, braised pork with plum vegetables, covered with silver and gold, duck skin snacks, salted duck, all kinds of fresh vegetables, and so on.
How to eat:
Dining together are all friends from all corners of the country, generally 6- 10 people at a table. You don't have to worry about whether you have enough food. We only cook for our own guests, not open to the public, and give the donkey friends a feeling of home. If we feel that there is not enough food, we will take the initiative to add more. If you have any special requirements (such as Hui people), you need to tell us in advance so that we can make other arrangements.
We can only take care of the opinions and suggestions of most travelers. The dishes are arranged flexibly by us according to the season and the specific number of people. If we can't accept the combination of set meals and dishes, the passengers we arranged can order separately and arrange separately.
I believe that after you have a general understanding of the above four aspects, your trip to Tulou will have a general outline. We will open a new post to add some details. At that time, you can log on to our website "Tulou Xiaohui Station" to pay attention to the latest tulou information or consult our customer service directly.
Thank you for your patience in reading and your cooperation in our work. I wish you a relaxed and happy trip to Tulou!
