苏家围
A Hakka ancient village said to be home to descendants of Su Dongpo. Where the Dongjiang River meets the Yihe River, its walled houses, ancestral halls, waterwheels, and old banyan trees form a Lingnan pastoral scene.
Sujiawei lies in Yihe Town, Dongyuan County. Legend holds that it was settled by descendants of Su Dongpo of the Northern Song dynasty, and it has a history of several centuries. The village preserves dozens of Hakka walled houses, ancestral halls, and dwellings, including Yongsi Hall and Laowu Village. At the edge of the village, the Dongjiang and Yihe rivers meet, and old banyan trees, waterwheels, bamboo rafts, and fields come together in a lovely scene. The most beautiful season is spring, when the rapeseed flowers bloom. The scenic area offers Hakka cuisine and bamboo raft rides. It is a national 4A-rated scenic area. Admission is about several dozen yuan, subject to on-site confirmation. The village is about 40 km from Heyuan city center. Self-driving or a hired car is recommended.
