Ningdu County

A large Hakka county in southern Jiangxi, with the steep, striking Danxia landforms of Cuiwei Peak and relics of the Ming–Qing Yitang scholars.

Ningdu County lies in southeast Jiangxi Province and is administered by Ganzhou. It is one of the major Hakka settlements and has a strong Hakka culture. Cuiwei Peak in the county is a classic Danxia landform, with steep, pillar-like rock faces. The "Nine Scholars of Yitang" lived in seclusion and taught here in the late Ming and early Qing, leaving cultural relics. Ningdu is also an important part of the Central Soviet Area and has some red heritage sites. Spring and autumn have pleasant weather and are best for hiking. Transport is mainly by road; go first to Ganzhou and then transfer.
