Probably the most popular scenic area in Dabu County. Colors vary according to season. The best months for visiting are reportedly in March–April when the flowers are blooming and in September–October when the rice crops reach maturity.

花萼楼
A classic circular-shaped tulou dating from 1608. The building is in excellent condition for its age and looks as good as any of the tulou you will find in Fujian Province. A few families still live here, so certain rooms are off limits.
泰安楼
The Tai'an Building is a tulou building that was built in 1764. It is probably the most accessible tulou building in Dabu County, being the only one located in the county seat. The square shape of the building makes it very unique because most tulou buildings are round.
大埔县博物馆
Small museum devoted to the history and culture of the region.
富大陶瓷工业旅游区
Owned and operated by the Fuda Ceramics Company. Visitors can enter the ceramics factory and view the entire production line. There are also display areas where you can see not only products produced by Fuda Ceramics, but also works by famous artists and some ancient ceramics.
父子进士牌坊
Built by the Ming government in 1610 in honour of Rao Xiang and his son Rao Yuling, two scholar-officials from Chayang who both attained the Jinshi, the highest degree in China's imperial examination system.
李光耀祖居
The ancestral home of the first prime minister of Singapore. Lee himself never lived here, however. It was built by his great-grand father Lee Bok Boon in 1884. Lee Bok Boon had immigrated to Singapore in 1863, but returned to Dabu in 1882, leaving his wife and children (including Lee Kuan Yew's grandfather) behind in Singapore. Lee Bok Boon died only a few months after the house was built and the property was inherited by his brother's family. The residence is now a tourist attraction and hosts an exhibition about Lee Kuan Yew's life.
