Cuimei Building

　　But this tulou has several special features:

　　One: Its leaning structure.

　　Among Fujian tulou, the Yuchang Building is the most famous “Leaning Tower,” but Cuimei Building is equally typical.

　　“Leaning” or “askew” — as the name suggests, it is tilted. However, this is not obvious from the outside. The moment you step through the entrance, you’ll suddenly notice that the pillars on the third and fourth floors of Cuimei Building are crooked. The pillars on the first and second floors are straight, but from the third floor upwards, they suddenly slant — and not in the same direction: the third floor tilts to the left, while the fourth floor tilts to the right.

　　Two: Beauty in imperfection.

　　Less than half of the rooms in the entire tulou are intact. The rest lack flooring and partition walls, leaving only their frames. But the magic of this tulou is that even with parts damaged, the remaining sections remain habitable.
