Wange 3317 piece MOC of The Chengqi Earth Building in Fujian Province, China. Comes in the original manufacturer box with printed instructions.

 

Constructed between 1709 and 1713 by the Jiang clan in Fujian Province, the Chengqi Lou stands as an architectural marvel of rammed-earth construction. This monumental circular fortress, comprising multiple concentric rings, earned its designation as the "King of Tulou" through its extraordinary scale and engineering. Originally designed to shelter hundreds of Hakka inhabitants, the structure exemplifies traditional communal living while providing formidable defensive capabilities. The thick earthen walls fostered generations of close-knit family life and cultural continuity. Today, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chengqi Lou remains a testament to Hakka ingenuity and continues to draw scholars and visitors worldwide seeking to understand this remarkable example of vernacular architecture and social organization.
