A man works in the fields outside of Zhongteng Village (钟腾村) in Fujian. Zhongteng has three tulou (土楼) -- large, castle-like, earthen structures housing dozens of families around an inner courtyard. The one on the left is called Facing the Sun Building (朝阳楼) and the one on the right Horizontal Building (水平楼). A third, not pictured, sits further to the right. Generally, only the poorest residents of a village live in the tulou as everyone moves out as soon as their children off working in China's cities send home enough money for them to build "Western" houses (read: cement and brick boxes).
