The cluster consists of one square Tulou, three circular Tulou buildings and one oval Tulou, namely Buyun Lou, Zhenchang Lou,Ruiyun Lou,Hechang Lou and Wenchang Lou. The five square and circular buildings stand along with the mountain up and down in a strict order, forming a wonderful picture combining artificial and natural beauty.

In May 2001, this Tulou cluster was announced among the fifth batch of “the major historic sites under national protection”.
