Kuiju building

Kuiju building is a large square earth building with a palace like structure, which is quite like Potala Palace from a distance. From a high point of view, the building and the ridge behind connect the city. If a fierce tiger goes down the mountain, kuiju building is the "tiger head". There are two windows on the wall in front of the building, which look like tiger eyes. The middle gate doesn't open at ordinary times. When the guests arrive, they open the middle gate to welcome them. The beauty of kuiju building lies not only in architecture and culture, but also in art. The sculptures, colored sculptures, flowers and birds, figures, landscapes, pavilions and stories in the building are vivid, full of Hakka historical charm and local flavor.
