Train
The new D trains that run to the
tulou
areas finally came into service in 2011.
Eleven high-speed trains link Xiamen and Longyan via Nanjing (¥30, one
hour) daily. However, by the time you read this guidebook, buses to Tian-
luokeng and Yunshuiyao should be available from the train station.
Getting Around
The easiest way to see the
tulou
is to book a tour, or hire a vehicle either from
Xiamen, Nanjing or Yongding.
You'll find taxi drivers in Yongding, Liulian or Nanjing who will offer their ser-
vices for around ¥450 a day (¥300 if you hire for more than one day), setting
off early in the morning and returning in the late afternoon.
