Heyuan Guide: A park that inherits Hakka culture, how to enter from the south gate
When traveling to Heyuan, you can experience the rich Hakka culture at Heyuan Hakka Culture Park, which showcases the essence of Hakka culture.
The layout is "one axis, two statues, three lakes and four pavilions", which is suitable for leisure, fitness, science and education, and entertainment. In addition, the park is very large. I entered from the south gate, which is enough to play for most of the day.
