Customs

The compass points to the north of Guangzhou, let’s go!

In northern Guangdong, the vast mountainous areas are the territory of the Hakka people. This group constitutes the largest group of the three major human groups in Guangdong, and has many centuries-old stories and unique living customs. The Spring Festival here naturally has a different flavor.

This place is also particularly interesting for drivers: either the long and wide highway kilometers or the twisting mountain trails have become good places for self-drivers to find driving pleasure. place.

[Meiguan Passion]

▲The first stop from Guangzhou is to get off the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and walk more than 70 kilometers north-east.

▲Nanxiong County, adjacent to Jiangxi, can overlook the gateway of Guangdong: Meiguan.

The plum blossoms are in full bloom in Meiguan around the Spring Festival this year. It is quite emotional to watch the plum blossoms on this post road that has been passed by those who migrated south from the Central Plains since ancient times. Red or white plum blossoms bloom all over the mountains and plains, integrating with the vicissitudes of the ancient post road.

Zhuji Lane is adjacent to Meiguan and has experienced more than 1,100 years. It is the only remaining ancient lane from the Song Dynasty in Guangdong Province, with a total length of 1,500 meters and a road width of more than 4 meters, all paved with cobblestones. Become. There are houses, ancestral halls and shops on both sides. The lanes are straight and straight, simple and quiet.

The south gate tower of the ancient lane was first built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has been repaired many times. Two stone carvings are inlaid on the top of the gate. One is "Zhuji Ancient Lane" and the other is "Former Residence of the Ancestors". It can be said that most Cantonese people are more or less related to this place, so Zhuji Lane is called the "former residence of Cantonese people". As a Cantonese, you cannot but visit such a place.

[Shixing Enclosed House]

▲On the way back to Shaoguan from Nanxiong, only about 30 kilometers away from Shaoguan, is Shixing.

▲Shixing is the location with the largest number of Hakka enclosures in Guangdong, including the largest Hakka enclosure in Guangdong, "Mantangwei".

Some people say that the Hakka enclosed house is the best traditional architecture in Guangdong. If this statement is true from the perspective of folk appreciation, even among the major folk buildings in the country, the Hakka enclosed house is a cultural heritage worth seeing. "Shixing Guanwu" has become a favorite saying among enthusiasts who pursue cultural deposits.

Siheung has beautiful mountains and rivers, many special products, and is also an area with a large number of scenic spots. It is rare that you can eat, travel, watch, and soak in hot springs all in one place.

Donghuping, 5 kilometers west of the county seat, is the Zengshi Ancient Village, an ancient village with a bit of Hui style residential characteristics, but the abrupt surrounding buildings clearly highlight the characteristics of a Hakka settlement. Aizi Town in the south of the county is the largest siege in China. More than 700 households are surrounded by a huge castle-like enclosure, which becomes an amazing spectacle. Ye Xuanping wrote an inscription in front of the door. This wonder of Chinese folk architecture is the pride of the Hakka people. Hundreds of residents still live in it peacefully. It is a great "folk story".

The entrance fee to Zeng’s Village in Donghuping is 10 yuan, and there is no entrance fee to Mantangwei. Another place worth visiting in Shixing is the Chebaling Primeval Forest, the home of the South China Tiger. It is vast and lush, accompanied by high-quality mineral water. It is a great place for leisure travel.

Next to Shixing is Renhua County, which of course also has many scenic spots.

▲The first world geopark in Guangdong, Danxia Mountain, is located in Shixing.

China’s unique “Museum of Sex” is built in Danxia Mountain.

Although you can go to that museum or not, you must not understand the natural knowledge of Danxia. Because the "totem" of the ancient people's fertility worship was created by heaven and earth in the mountains: Yang Yuan Stone and Yin Yuan Cave are such a coincidental "creation created by heaven" that there is no eroticism, only surprise. At the same time, if you want to know more about the unique Danxia landforms, you can find the answer in Danxia Mountain, the first global geopark in Guangdong.

Back to Shaoguan for accommodation, the tour of northern Guangdong continues. A 30-minute drive from the Beijing-Zhuhai North Expressway is Ruyuan, the northernmost county in Guangdong, which is a Yao autonomous county. Not to mention the customs of the Yao people, there are many traditional Yao villages preserved in the mountains around Bibei, and the legend of the "King of Yao" is even more fascinating. King Yao is also known as King Pangu, which is similar to the legend of Pangu in the Central Plains about the creation of the world. The festival of the Yao people is "Singing Song Hall", which has a strong primitive and rough wild beauty. It was introduced into the palace of modern art in the 1950s. Ruyuan also has many natural scenery, including the Grand Canyon and the Nanling Primeval Forest. For Guangdong, mountainous landscapes are what they yearn for, and Nanling is the highest peak in Guangdong, with an altitude of 1,902 meters, higher than Zhongyue Songshan and Nanyue Hengshan.

[Yao Compatriot World]

▲After visiting Shaoguan, you can cross the mountains from Nanling to the west to connect the mountains to the south.

▲Lianshan and Liannan belong to the administrative division of Qingyuan City. During the New Year, the style tour across the two cities will return in a counterclockwise direction.

National Highway 323 passes through Tianmenzhang between Ruyuan and Yangshan. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous and full of fun. Frost and snow can occasionally be seen among the lush trees. Yangshan was once a place of exile. In the old days, there was a tablet left by Korean culture inscribed on it: "It is the poorest place in the world." Poverty is a good thing for traveling wind hunters, as they can retain more innocence. A little further west is Lianzhou City.

The Huangchuan Three Gorges is not far from the south of the city, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers. It is divided into Longquan Gorge, Lengjia Gorge and Yangtiao Gorge. The mountain flowers are blooming, the waterfalls are thousands of meters long, the mountains shrink like a knife, and the water is strong. Being cramped is like having to pay the salary urgently. Sitting on the boat, looking up at the gorge and looking down at the beach, you will be fascinated. When the Yangtze River Three Gorges river wind is no longer the same, the Three Gorges in Guangdong becomes more and more attractive.

More than 20 kilometers west from the Huangchuan Three Gorges is the famous Sanpai Yao Village in Liannan Yao Autonomous County, which is a famous "Little Guilin". Arriving at Sister Pavilion, which is the "Wanshan Dynasty King" Scenic Area, it is the most beautiful place on the mountain. Under the blue sky, the mountain peaks are actually leaning in the same direction, as if they are worshiping the king, and they are extremely majestic. The origin of the name "Paiyao" is said to be because their houses on the mountain are built in rows upwards. Although this is not the real place where Yao people live, it still reproduces the living atmosphere of Liannan Yao Village according to their living habits. In the scenic area, games such as bamboo pole dancing, stilt walking, seesaw playing, and slingshot play are simple and simple. It is a large collection of folk customs. When you beat the gong of Yaoxiang, push the heavy stone mill, or step on the stone ladle in the oil workshop, the camera can easily create good and memorable photos.

[Flying Wonders]

▲ Coming out of Yao Village, it is easy to get on the 107 National Highway.

▲This is a very spacious avenue, and it will take more than 2 hours to go directly to Guangzhou. But wait a minute, the beautiful scenery is still there, so we can go back to Guangzhou after enjoying it.

There are many scenic spots along the way. Since the gas fees and highway and bridge tolls have been paid, it is more cost-effective to visit more places. Qingyuan City used to not be very famous in terms of tourism, but it was famous for its chickens in the center of the continent. But now it is different.

From Niuweitang in the Yangshan section of National Highway 107, enter the trail diagonally to the left. Not far away is Yingxi Peak Forest. The Fenglin Corridor is located in the three towns of Jiulong, Mingjing and Yanbei on the southwest side of Yingde City. The more than 20 kilometers of road are lined with thousands of limestone peaks. This is a flat land, but there are solitary bamboo shoot-shaped peaks. The mountain peaks are hidden among the clear water, which is really eye-catching - suddenly I realized, isn't Yangshuo built like this?

About an hour further south is Feilaixia. This place is also known as Feixia Scenic Area. Feixia Mountain, the 19th blessed place among the 72 blessed places of Taoism, is named here. Feilai Gorge is most beautiful at sunset, when gulls and fishing sails fly together on the river, and birds in the mountains sing in harmony among the bamboo poles.

Distributed along the Xiajiang River are Rhinoceros Pool, Baipao Pool, Zhongtan, Ningbi Bay, Hanyu Boating Place, Dongpo Diaoji, Baishazhou and Dizi Reading Rock, Qinjiang Diaoli Platform, Zhongsu Fentide Rock, The Ge Tan Alchemy Stone, Bodhidharma Tan Sutra Stone, Lion Stone, Guiyuan Cave and Light Cave, etc., every historical site is a far-reaching tranquility that touches the mind.

Feixia Scenic Area is very close to Guangzhou City, so when you get home is not a problem for drivers.

▲▲Travel Tips

□ In terms of food, the main food is field delicacies. Qingyuan’s chicken, Liannan’s Shankeng fish, Shixing’s bamboo shoots, and Yingde’s tofu have long been famous. Don't try.

□ If you have high requirements for accommodation, you can book it through the website or travel agency first. However, since most of the scenic spots on this route do not have high-star hotels, it is better to stay in a place where you can better appreciate the local customs and the price is cheaper.
