Looking for Hakka Culture Tour GAC Acura RDX self-driving tour (1)

Car News Network? Do you know the report? The past Labor Day was the first five-day holiday in the "May Day Golden Week" in 12 years, and also the first long holiday since epidemic prevention and control became normalized. As the domestic epidemic situation stabilizes, more and more car enthusiasts can’t help but choose to take a self-driving trip during the May Day holiday. It is natural to choose a safe and reliable travel car that saves worry and effort. The most important thing is that this time the editor chose GAC Acura RDX to go with us all the way.

Why did you choose Acura? RDX will be explained later. Why did you choose Meizhou as the destination of this self-driving tour? This starts with the word "?".

The editor accidentally noticed the word "?" from the Internet before, and became very interested in its meaning and pronunciation, because as far as the editor's mobile phone input software is concerned, whether it is through homophony Neither the pinyin input nor the simplest and crudest handwriting input can search for the word "?". Later, a Hakka friend told the editor that the "?" character is actually a newly created character with Hakka characteristics, which means "I" " means. Therefore, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, when the editor, who is from Guangzhou, chose a self-driving destination, he naturally chose Meizhou, the birthplace of Hakka culture.

The distance from Guangzhou to Meizhou is nearly 400 kilometers, and it takes about 4.5 hours to drive there under good road conditions. The trip totals more than a thousand miles, and the fuel consumption is naturally a concern for many consumers. One of the focuses of attention, so we also cleared the driving mileage and fuel consumption before departure to see how the Acura RDX's fuel consumption performed on the return trip.

Nowadays, how can driving for long distances, especially long-term driving on the highway, be without the presence of driving assistance systems? The Acura RDX equipped with the AcuraWatch automatic assisted driving system is naturally one of the reasons why the editor chose it to travel with. Since the journey from Guangzhou was relatively good and there was no large-scale long-term traffic jam, the editor also tried out the AcuraWatch automatic assisted driving system and successfully reached the destination: Meizhou.

As an important ethnic group of the Han nationality, the Hakka people believe in diligence and thrift, pay attention to knowledge and education, and live all over the world without forgetting their roots. Therefore, they are often known as the Oriental Gypsies. After a night's rest, the editor, In the two-day trip, we will unveil the mystery of this Oriental Gypsy from the Hakka Museum in Meizhou.

After walking through the arch bridge and passing through a lotus pond, you arrive at the Hakka Museum. The arch bridge is like a time and space tunnel, connecting the past with the present.

When entering the museum, what comes into view is nothing else but a large newly created character with Hakka characteristics: ?. Through consultation with the staff, we learned that: ? is pronounced as ái in Mandarin and "ngai" in Hakka. , it is a perfect word to kick off the visit to the Hakka Museum.

The museum is very rich in content, and what attracts the editor most are the distinctive Hakka architectural forms and Han operas.

Speaking of Meizhou’s characteristic residential architectural forms, they include Chinese and Western style, pole house, mansion style, square earth building, round earth building, Bagua-shaped building, Wufeng building, Gannan earth wall, four-corner building and Wailongwu.

Among them, the most distinctive form of residential architecture in Meizhou is the Weilong House. The Weilong House is distributed in all counties and districts in Meizhou City. It consists of main hall, horizontal house and enclosed house. There are Heping and Yuechi in the front, and there is a half-moon flower head in the back, also known as "huatai". After entering from the main entrance, there are usually two or three halls. There is a shrine in the upper hall. There are symmetrical horizontal rooms on both sides of the main hall. There are two, four, six or even eight horizontal rooms. These main halls, horizontal rooms and the semicircular enclosure at the back The houses are connected into a horseshoe-shaped "Wailong House". As the family population increases, the number of horizontal houses and dragon houses can continue to increase, forming an imposing dragon house that echoes from beginning to end. The Weilongwu house and temple are integrated into a residential building that integrates traditional rituals, ethical concepts, yin-yang, five elements and eight trigrams and other philosophical thoughts and architectural art.

Another thing that left a deep impression on the editor was the Han opera "Pan Fu". Through understanding, I learned that Han opera was originally a Waijiang opera, and it turned out that it was first brought to Guangdong Province by Guangzhou and Chaozhou people. Later, the people of Guangzhou improved and localized Waijiang Opera and created Cantonese Opera. Waijiang Opera was passed down among the Hakkas as Han opera and became a cultural treasure.

The Hakka Museum is really one of the must-visit attractions when visiting Meizhou. The main museum is divided into five parts: "Where did the guests come from, Hakka customs, landmark houses, cultural show area, and Hakka take-off". There are only a few of the above. Words really can't sum up the wonderful things inside the museum.

Hakka Museum Recommendation Index: ★★★★★

After visiting the Hakka Museum, the editor’s next destination is the Ketianxia Scenic Area. When the editor followed the navigation guide to the Ketianxia Scenic Area, he was overwhelmed with large and small properties along the way. This made the editor wonder if he was lost? It turns out that Ketianxia Scenic Spot is an artificial scenic spot built with a cost of 30 billion yuan. The entire scenic spot is built on the mountain, and the large and small real estate at the foot of the mountain also increase the popularity of the scenic spot. It can be said that they complement each other. No wonder it is known as the "Peachland outside the city."

Only the Hakka town in Ketianxia requires tickets. Including the battery fare to the mountain, it only costs 60 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. In addition, senior citizens over 65 years old also enjoy a free ticket policy. When the battery car takes the passengers to the top of the mountain, you can almost have a panoramic view of the city from the top of the mountain.

Walking down from the top of the mountain, you can see buildings full of Hakka characteristics along the way. These buildings undoubtedly outline its brilliance in Hakka culture, and we will talk about Hakka architectural culture in detail later. introduce.

Since it is an artificial scenic spot, the recently popular "Glass Bridge" project is naturally indispensable. Friends who like excitement can experience it for only 60 yuan.

The back of the ingot is mountain stone (backing), and the front is water (wealth). This is evident from the Hakka culture of feng shui.

In general, the Ketianxia Scenic Area cleverly integrates the mountains and Hakka-style buildings, and creates a strong visual impact with the many real estate buildings under the mountains, coupled with the elements of green mountains, green waters and glass bridges , it’s still worth a visit.

Recommendation index of Hakka Scenic Area: ★★★☆☆

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and it is even said that food is in Guangdong, and Hakka cuisine is an important part of Chinese food culture. It is one of the three major cuisines in Guangzhou along with Guangzhou cuisine and Chaozhou cuisine. As a foodie, how can I not taste the local authentic food when I come to Meizhou? So after visiting the Ketianxia Scenic Spot, the editor rushed all the way to a local internet celebrity restaurant: Weilongwu Xingyuan Restaurant.

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." Weilongwu Xingyuan Hotel perfectly interprets the meaning of this sentence. In order to find delicious food, the editor drove the Acura RDX through the streets and alleys. When encountering crowded roads and narrow roads, even the editor with 11 years of driving experience can only be cautious and dare not be careless. At this time, the role of Acura RDX's 360° panoramic imaging system is reflected.

The Weilongwu Xingyuan Restaurant with a low-key appearance is really unique. Behind the door, you can see the decoration style full of Hakka sentiment. It makes people feel that they have already tasted the Hakka culture before the food is served. spiritual food.

The dishes at the Garden Hotel cannot satisfy everyone's taste buds, but if you expect the dishes at the Star Garden Hotel to represent the long-standing Hakka cuisine culture, it would be too harsh.

Weilongwu Xingyuan Restaurant, also known as Chengde Building, has a history of 135 years. It adopts a double-story civil engineering building structure design, with three halls, two horizontals and one dragon, eight halls, eight wells and eighteen halls. , there are eighty-three rooms alone, divided into a front garden surrounded by a Feng Shui pond and a backyard surrounded by Feng Shui fruit trees, and the overall shape is oval. It is not difficult to imagine that the original owner of Chengde Building was a wealthy businessman. Today, Chengde Building has been rebuilt by his descendants into the current Xingyuan Restaurant, which is famous far and wide.

The restaurant has been closed at night, waiting for the rising sun in the morning. What has changed is that guests gather and disperse like clouds, but what remains unchanged is sitting in Chengde Tower watching the storm. Behind the hustle and bustle is inseparable from the gradual precipitation day after day. This is true for hotels, people, and cars.

Weilongwu Xingyuan Restaurant Recommendation Index: ★★★★☆

We didn’t have much free time to sigh, so we took a short rest in the evening and prepared for the next drive to Yannanfei Prepare for the two scenic spots: Tea Garden and Wuzhi Stone. These are places where the performance of the vehicle and the editor’s physical strength will be tested. Can the Acura RDX successfully negotiate long periods of unpaved roads? Can the editor have enough physical strength to conquer two scenic spots? Let us look forward to it together.
