Meizhou
The "Hakka Capital of the World," where encircled-dragon houses and Hakka cuisine convey rich local character, alongside tea plantations and a longevity-rich countryside.
Meizhou lies in northeastern Guangdong, bordering Fujian and Jiangxi. It is a major Hakka homeland and is known as the "Hakka Capital of the World." Hakka dwellings of many styles, including encircled-dragon houses (weilongwu), are scattered across the area. The Yannanfei Tea Plantation in Meixian is beautiful, and the Ye Jianying Memorial Park is a representative sight. In Pingyuan, the Wuzhishi Mountain has striking Danxia landforms, and Jiaoling is known as a land of longevity. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit, and winter is also mild. Get there via Meixian Airport or high-speed rail lines such as Meizhou–Shantou and Meizhou–Longyan.
