[2025 Ganzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Kejia Cultural City (Southeast Gate) (Updated Mar)

The construction of Jiangxi Hakka Cultural City is very unique. There is a square-shaped building with a dragon pattern inside, which is the Hakka ancestral hall. There are big red lanterns hanging high inside and the building is covered with wedding characters. The atmosphere is full of lights and decorations and it is full of joy. Later I learned that Hakka people can rent Hakka ancestral halls as wedding venues. It is really meaningful to hold a wedding in such a traditional venue. Moreover, I heard from the staff that if the bride price is low, the venue can be used for free, which is very helpful for young people to get married.

Shicheng County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, is named after the surrounding mountains and rocks that stand like a city wall. Located on the border of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, Shicheng has always been a must-pass place for Jiangxi to enter western Fujian and eastern Guangdong, and is known as the "thoroughfare of Fujian and Guangdong".

Li Lashi: Formerly known as "Ying'en Stone", it is the place where the imperial edict was received in ancient times. In ancient times, there was a Li county magistrate who often hunted there, and later changed the name of the mountain to "Li Lishi", because in Shicheng vernacular, "hunting" and "wax" sound similar, and later generations also called it "Li Lashi".
