   The structure of Tulou indicates culture of China in many ways. To modern people, many things are not familiar, so let’s what is the beauty of Tulou. The buildings that are round in shape are the most famous .They divided into three classes of sizes namely，small, medium and big．The small ones are usually 2 to 3 stories tall with a single ring and have 21 to 28 rooms. The medium dwellings are usually 3 to 4 stories tall with a large inner open space ,which come in single ring or double rings and could contain 30 to 40 rooms．The larger round buildings are usually 4 to 5 stories tall consisting of as many as three rings and could house about 42 to 58 rooms．Finally，the very small round buildings have about 12 to 18 rooms． We can see the main entrance door is padded with iron sheet and is locked by 2 horizontal wood bars． The wooden bars retract into the walls in order to open the door．Inside the entrance is a huge central courtyard where all the doors of the rooms and inner windows open facing it． Normally， the rooms at the ground level， except the hall and the staircases， are used as kitchens and dining rooms．The rooms on the second floor are used for storage and those on the third level are used as bedrooms．
