TIL about tulou, giant walled villages built by the Hakka ethnic group of China. Tulou could fit up to 800 people inside them with farms, houses and even markets. They were designed by the Hakka for protection from attacks by the Cantonese ethnic group the Punti in one of the many wars they fought.
