Hakka tulou, a large-scale Chinese rural dwelling distributed in Fujian, is considered the best representation building of Hakka culture as well as the world's cultural heritage. 'Hakka Round House' built by Miaoli County Government in Houlong THSR District not only manifests Miaoli's unique Hakka culture, but also creates a lovely landscape of the Qingshui Corridor along Beishi Brook to welcome visitor with its local features of art and culture.

This architecture whose location is relatively close to THSR Miaoli Station is the most popular area of the Qingshui Corridor. Therefore, the Hakka Round House is also well-known as the heart of Beishi Brook. Its architectural design is based on the original tulou structure in Fujian, presenting authentic Hakka atmosphere. In addition to Hakka traditional tulou architecture, there are also ring-shaped trails, an arc-shaped observation deck, a welcoming square, and water paths.

Occupying 1,385 square meters of the land and 3,476 square meters of the total floor area, the Hakka Round House is a building with 1floor underground and 3 floors above ground. Visitors are able to overlook a ring-shaped structure clearly. The Hakka round house is built based on the local culture.
