Early in my Gumbo career, I wrote about the big mud apartment blocks, called tulou, in the hill tribe region of southern China, photos of which compelled me to travel to Fujian Province.

On the second day of a 2-day tour of Fujian tulou clusters, begun with a large Chinese group on a bus and finished the next day alone on foot, I walked along a road with my non-English speaking guide and came upon this beautiful house.
Marching through the hills of Fujian, China, from one tulou to another, I and my all-Chinese tour companions went at a clip through a beautiful riverside village, walking on paths and climbing stairways built of stone.
