Traditional vernacular architecture

Longnan is notable for the variety of traditional Hakka walled villages in Jiangxi.[2] [3] By one count, there are around 370 of them within the city's boundaries.[2] They are known locally as weiwu (围屋や) or wei (围);[2] Longnan is also regarded as "the Hometown of Weiwu in China" 新しん华网-客きゃく家か围屋之の乡. Some of the most famous weiwu are Guangxi Wei 百ひゃく度ど百科ひゃっか-关西围屋 and Yanyiwei.关西围屋与あずか燕つばめ翼つばさ围 Some researchers call them "Jiangxi tulou" (literally, "[tall] earthen buildings"), as opposed to the better known Fujian tulou.[4]
