The giant "Meixian Golden Pomelo" composed of nearly a thousand pomelos in the exhibition area is very eye-catching, attracting many tourists to take photos in front of the giant "Meixian Golden Pomelo".

Scarecrow in various forms made of golden straw is also an important role in the Farmers' Harvest Festival, attracting many parents and children to punch in.

The granary tied with straw and pasted with a piece of red paper with the word "Feng" has also become the background for some people to take selfies.

The Dragon Boat symbolizing good luck is decorated with pomelo, banana, pineapple, watermelon, pitaya and other fruits, as well as agricultural products such as pumpkin, corn, sweet potato, taro, wax gourd and carrot. This is also a place where many people compete to punch in.

The ancient post road paved with cobblestones is a major feature of Dahuang Village.

Dahuang Village in Songkou, Meixian County is one of the characteristic villages in Meixian County. Its main business is planting, processing and selling grapefruit.

The ancient post road paved with tens of thousands of smooth pebbles is a major feature of Dahuang Village.

These pebbles are not only laid under grapefruit trees, but also in front of ancient buildings such as Dajiangdi, Deng Yingjia Shu, Songxuan Temple, Fengchi Temple, etc., all the way to the edge of provincial road S223.

The cobblestone ancient post road surrounds Dahuang Peninsula, with a total length of more than 1 km. Several ancient docks along the Meijiang River are also paved with pebbles. These smooth pebbles are all picked up from Meijiang River with local materials, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of pebbles.

The most distinctive features of Dahuang Village in Songkou are four ancient docks.

In the bamboo forest beside Meijiang River in Dahuang Village, there are four earliest cobblestone wharves in Meixian County, including the upper berth wharf, Sansha wharf, Shangxinwu wharf and Great Huang Du wharf.

These ancient docks have a long history, unique features, broad vision and beautiful scenery, and are expected to become the punching places for tourists with nostalgia and cultural relics.

The well-known Songkou Fireboat Wharf is mainly a passenger wharf, while the unknown Dahuangcun Ming and Qing ancient wharf is mainly a freight wharf.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, Dahuang Village has had frequent business contacts. A large number of timber and wood processed products in Meixian County are transported to Chaoshan area through Dahuangcun Wharf, while seafood, spices and cement (imported cement) in Nanyang and Chaoshan area are transported to Dahuang Wharf and then transported to all parts of Meixian County.

Therefore, Dahuang Ancient Wharf plays an important role as a freight hub and cargo distribution center.

Nowadays, the ancient town of Songkou has gradually become familiar to tourists all over the world, and the ancient rhubarb pier is still hidden in the bamboo forest beside Meijiang River, waiting for you to unveil her ancient and mysterious veil.

Nearly 100 longan trees along the river are rare in Meizhou.

On the Meijiang River in Dahuang Village, there are nearly 100 longan trees with a history of hundreds of years. Since the opening of the village, people in Dahuang Village have suffered from floods almost every year for generations. After the flood, the crops planted by the villagers by the river disappeared in an instant, and the unforgettable loss greatly hurt the ancestors of Dahuang Village.

More than a hundred years ago, some people thought that planting fruit trees by the river could not only reduce the impact of flood disasters on houses and the devastating damage to crops, but also take advantage of the large number of cargo terminals in Dahuang Village to sell the harvested longan to Songkou, Chaoshan and other places, and also transport it to Meicheng and other places for sale in countercurrent.

In those hard days, people in Dahuang Village with longan trees lived a little better than people in other places.

Nowadays, this century-old longan forest beside Meijiang River in Dahuang Village has become a good place for leisure. Four cobblestone docks are quietly waiting for you in the bamboo forest by the river. Are you ready to punch in?
