Chaoshui Tower
Chaoshui Tower is situated in the middle of the tulou cluster. Constructed during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1549–1553), it was rebuilt following a fire in 1923. This square-shaped earthen structure faces south and covers a site area of 729 square meters, with a total floor area of 1,890 square meters. The tower has three stories (11.3 meters high), with 20 rooms on each level. It features an internal corridor-style layout. The base wall is 1.66 meters thick, with no stone foundation—only more than one meter high cobblestones are embedded around the outer wall base. Currently, it houses 8 families, totaling 48 people.
