Tulou are massive rammed-earth circular fortress-houses, some over 4 stories tall and housing 800 people from a single Hakka clan. Master Lin shows you the rammed-earth recipe (red clay, sand, lime, fermented soybean liquid, sugar cane juice) that allowed 500-year-old tulou to survive earthquakes, and you take part in the manual ramming with traditional wooden tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLiving Heritage — Wuzhen Indigo Cotton Printing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Wuzhen's Lantern Festival hall you spend two hours with \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Yao Junfu\u003c\/strong\u003e, national-level inheritor of \u003cem\u003eLan yin huabu\u003c\/em\u003e (蓝印花布) — the indigo-dyed cotton printing tradition on China's first national intangible cultural heritage list.
