Nanyang Tower is located at the foot of Lion shaped Mountain in Dadi Village, Hua'an County, surrounded by an excellent ecological environment and beautiful mountains and waters; There is a plaque beside the gate, with the words "the Earthen Building in Fujian Province Museum" written on it. Representatives of 21 overseas Chinese media from 18 countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia, were guided by Jiang Chunmei, a commentator, to taste the culture of the Earthen Building in Fujian Province, a world cultural heritage. Nanyang Tower is the most exquisite earthen tower that emphasizes the surrounding landscape environment outside the building, and is a masterpiece among the circular earthen towers in Fujian.
