The museum has a building area of ​​37,000 square meters. The entire building is like a Hakka earth building and is a good place to learn about Hakka culture.

We took a short taxi from central Meizhou to get to this amazing complex. it took about 15 minutes to get there and no Hassle. You can also walk there from the Hakka Museum which is another must see. There were many many beautiful temples and the pagoda at the top was stunning. There was a great view from the top of Meizhou and very few people. It is an active temple so it's expected that you are quiet and respectful of those who are living and praying there. There is a lot to see and we spent over an hour there, though the weather was hot we were able to buy some water from some ladies out front. The complex was free to visit and I definitely suggest it as a quick place to see while staying in Meizhou. #historicculture#summervacation

When I was visiting Meizhou, I saw some restaurants that were very antique, some transportation vehicles that were very cartoon-like, and in Kajang, I went shopping for honey pomelo.

There are two unique buildings in Guangdong, one is Kaiping Diaolou and the other is Hakka Enclosed House. The shape of the Hakka Enclosed House is like a bunker and a bird's nest. This kind of building is more in Meizhou. There are several places in Mei Hakka House, the most representative of which is Tai'an Building in Dapu County. This building was built in the 28th year of Qing Emperor Qianlong. It has a history of more than 250 years and can be preserved. Not easy, which also shows the rigor of ancient architecture. Other Hakka enclosures are usually round, while Tai'an is square. The main building materials are stone, wood and brick. Because the outer wall of the building is a stone wall, this building is also called a stone building. Tai'an Building is currently a key cultural relics protection unit. It is also a cultural tourism attraction developed by Dapu County. It is managed by a dedicated person and is well protected in all aspects. Visitors can not only walk on the ground floor, but also climb down the stairs. The second and third floors are panoramic views of God's vision. Taian Building has only one gate for access. If the gate is closed, outsiders cannot enter. The windows of the whole building are very small, which is mainly for the purpose of preventing thieves and preventing problems. Because the wall is thick and strong, the Taian Building has good wind, waterproof and shockproof performance. On the Taian Building, every picture you see in front of you is full of chronology, especially the aging window, as if you are silently telling history. There are more than 200 rooms in the entire Tai'an Building. Currently, only a few old people and children live in it. Most of the young people go out to make a living, or move to a more comfortable modern building.

There is a charming ancient village in Meizhou, and it is very secluded. This village is called Qiaoxi Village, located in Yanyang Town, northeast of Meizhou City. Qiaoxi Village is surrounded by mountains and streams, especially like the ancient knights and the world's expatriates. Qiaoxi Village's Da Zhai Ji Shan Building has a history of more than 100 years and is the most magnificent building in the village. The original owner is the Indonesian overseas Chinese businessman Zhu. Jishan Building is a typical two-storey rafter building, commonly known as the Seven Bars. It was built in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, with subtle appearance and various details in the courtyard, especially the carving and painting. Due to the high requirements of the owner, the whole building was built 12 years before it was completed. This small village in the valley is born with a good aristocratic atmosphere. Walking through the courtyard is like crossing the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

The rich natural landscape and the perfect combination of vivid human landscape make the Meizhou guest world unique. Strolling between the streets where the Eastern civilization and the Western culture coexist, you can enjoy the scenery of the pavilions and the bridges. Walk in the world of Meizhou, the quaint architectural style, the religious cultural corridor, is particularly charming in the bright sunshine. It is surrounded by green trees, and the red eaves are accompanied by white houses and a European town style. In addition, the waterfalls are everywhere, elegant and full of life.

In recent years, Meizhou has developed rapidly. People are running to Wanda Plaza. I love it in the old street. There are many hundred-year-old brands hidden in the economic development. The tricycles that are gradually being eliminated by economic development are still in the streets and lanes. The most appreciated, to count the building here, people return to the Republic of China, people in the downstairs to cool down, tea chat, slow city Meizhou, here is the essence. Meizhou is named by the State Council as National Historical and Cultural City, and this old street is the most representative historical and cultural block. It consists of several streets, including Zhongshan Street, Zhongyuan West Road and Taikang Road. Most of Lingfeng Road, etc., are well preserved, and the mottled exterior wall has a historical sense of heavyness. Most of them were built together with Meijiang Bridge in the 1930s. It is said that the oldest house has been in existence for hundreds of years. The government wants to protect this piece. Cultural heritage has been rehabilitated in some areas. These arcades adopt the model of the former store and the back warehouse, and some unremarkable shops, but they carry memories of several generations. Old department stores, barber shops, old dentists, snack bars, etc. are still open. In the mid-1980s, this area was once the most lively place in Meizhou. Even though it is now bustling, it still has the atmosphere of the past.

This is a place of prosperity in commercial trade in history. It is a major commercial and trade town. It has the reputation of not recognizing the state since ancient times. It is the first stop of the Hakka people from Nanyang after the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also one of the sources of Sun Yat-sens launch of the Revolution of 1911. Hakka folk songs are more famous at home and abroad, and cultural relics and natural scenery abound. Songkou, a thousand-year-old town in Meizhou, is one of the starting places for the Hakka ancestors to move to Guangdong. sells the most expensive cakes in the old days. I think that when the Hakka ancestors started from here, would they also bring a few stoves for dry food? The is one of the must-see places in Songkou Ancient Town. It is still a hundred years old. In the old days, people from Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiaoling and Pingyuan took Nanyang from the Songkou Fireboat Terminal to take the electric wheel. From Shantou Port to the big wheel, it became the first stop for the Hakka people to cross the sea and die. It is said that at the time of the most prosperous fireboat terminal, there are more than 300 vessels coming and going every day, and more than 6,000 passengers come in and out from here. When you come to the ancient villages of Meizhou, someone will ask you to taste their fairy tales. It is a bit like turtle paste or jelly powder, but it is not. This taste is still a little different, but the effect should be cool and cool.

The architecture of the combination of Chinese and Western is not only Kaiping, but also a beautiful place in Meizhou. After returning to the hometown after the swaying, it is natural to bring back the elements of the field. This kind of building is very fashionable and eye-catching! Meizhou has left a lot of ancient buildings because of its partiality. In these ancient and residential buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are many deep-house complexes with many bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen, as well as large and small ancestral halls. Today, I will take you to know about Baihou Town. Baihougu is called "Baihou", its name can be found in the Caiyan stone carving of Caixianren Guzhen. "Yujia Shennian has fourty-two. Because of the excavation of this Shenzhen, the four words of the rumor: Baihoudongli, the gods, the mountains Hundreds of years. The village has a long history and a rich cultural heritage. Since ancient times, the style has flourished. Especially since the Qing Dynasty, the imperial examinations flourished. There are 17 people in the village (including 3 Hanlin) and 110 people, including one belly. Sanhan Institute is famous.

#Dragon Boat Festival good places During the Dragon Boat Festival, Sui Lu Farm becomes the best place for family outings. The farm is shaded by green trees and has flowers blooming all year round, making people feel as if they are in a natural painting. The sun shines on the earth, and the vegetables and fruits sway in the breeze, as if inviting tourists to come! The tomato fields here attracted the attention of many children. The bright red tomatoes sparkled in the sun, waiting to be picked. Children were holding small baskets in their hands, and their laughter was heard everywhere. Every time a tomato was carefully picked, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if what he harvested was not only fruit, but also happy memories. There are also various small animals on the farm, such as cute lambs and lively chickens. The children chased and played on the grass and had close contact with the small animals, which added infinite fun. Every small animal here is full of vitality!
