A postcard on Fujian Tulou or Fujian earth building (福建土楼). This type of residential can be found at the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangsi. They are used to be dwellings come defensive structures. Majority of those famous tulou are found at southeastern of Fujian Province. This unique structures are listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name "Fujian Tulou". There are 46 sites listed under the world heritage list. If not mistaken, this picture shows the Chuxi Tulou cluster (初溪土樓群), which is located in Chuxi village, Xiayang township, Yongding County (永定县 下洋镇 初溪村). Thanks luoluoda.
Unfotunately, this postcard arrived without a stamp or any postmark. But, you may notice there is gum trace (perforated L-shaped, below "R" of "CARD"). According to sender, it was a 3 Yuan greeting stamp. Somehow, it is missing in the delivering process.
