Liyuan Wei
栗园围
A large village-style walled house in Liren Town, first built in the Ming dynasty. Walls surround the entire village, and it is now developed into an immersive Hakka cultural experience space.
Liyuan Wei was first built during the Hongzhi era of the Ming dynasty. It is a village-style walled house, rare in southern Jiangxi, with a perimeter wall of about one kilometre enclosing ancestral halls, residences, wells and old lanes. It remains in very good condition and is a notable example alongside the Guanxi walled house cluster, which is a national key cultural relic protection unit. In recent years, the site has introduced the immersive experience space "Hakka Under Heaven: Walled Village Sentiments" and a guesthouse, and night tours with performances are available. Ticket and performance prices are subject to on-site information. It is about 8 kilometres from Longnan town, roughly a 15-minute taxi ride. The lanes inside are narrow, so walking is recommended.
Opening hours
09:00–21:00 (check the scenic area's announcements)
