Hakka　culture,　the　material　and　spiritual　wealth　of　the　Hakka,　originated　in　Xijin　Dynasy　(266　AD)　and　manifests　in　the　forms　of　language,　folk　customs,　architecture,　relationship,　etc.　Yongding　County,　the　Hakka　culture　resorts,　are　attracting　more　and　more　tourists　home　and　abroad　over　the　past　few　decades　in　China.　Known　as　the　living　fossil　of　the　ancient　Chinese　culture,　Hakka　culture　has　not　been　well　studied　and　Tulou　(Hakka　Earth　Buildings),　which　still　inhabited　by　the　Hakka　as　their　traditional　and　permanent　house,　have　been　poorly　maintained.　In　this　paper,　a　practice　of　3D　documentation　on　the　Chinese　Hakka　culture　within　Yongding　County,　Fujian　Province　by　a　multidisciplinary　approach　was　conducted,　and　an　Internet-based　virtual　experience　system　for　tour　purpose　was　presented.　First,　the　materials　and　knowledge　of　Hakka　culture　was　surveyed　and　collected　on　site,　including　historical　evolution,　Tulou　or　its　ruins　or　remains　and　folk　customs.　Then,　the　data　sets　associated　with　Tulou　from　terrestrial　laser　scanner,　unmanned　aerial　vehicle　and　digital　camera,　are　integrated　in　order　to　model　in　3D　realistic　manner.　Finally,　an　internet-based　cloud-enabled　3D　geographic　information　service　system　for　Hakka　culture　(HCGISS)　was　developed　with　data　storage　on　cloud　end　and　service　functions,　such　as　scene　loading　and　browsing,　thematic　cultural　maps　display,　information　query　and　online　virtual　experience　for　tour,　tourist　route　navigation　to　users　on　browser　end.　The　system　provides　the　Internet-based　virtual　experience　for　cultural　tour　in　3D　interactive　way　and　a　novel　platform　for　Hakka　culture　presentation,　cognition　and　heritage　as　well.　It　is　helpful　to　awaken　the　public＇s　awareness　to　protect　the　traditional　unique　Hakka　culture.　(C)　2017　Elsevier　Masson　SAS.　All　rights　reserved.
