    The Origin of Tulou As a unique culture, Tulou has existed for a long time. The people living in the area faced both natural and human threats. They had to fend off wild animals from the surrounding forest as well as the occasional group of bandits. In order to protect themselves against bandits and wild beasts,they used local materials to build tall,multi-storey circular earthen buildings where a whole family or clan could live in.These are the earth towers that we see today.These Tulou buildings not only are comfortable dwellings, but also Mighty Fortresses. Today, Tulou has become the world′s cultural heritage. Long long ago, the people living in the area faced both natural and human threats. They had to fend off wild animals from the surrounding forest as well as the occasional group of bandits. So they created Tulou.
