The overall decoration styles of the several B&Bs in Shuangziwei Hakka B&B Town are very good. I visited each of them. Even if I don’t stay in the hotel, I can still go in to have a drink, stroll around, and take pictures! If you want to dine in, you need to make a reservation one day in advance. I had high expectations for Dalezhiye before going there. The overall decoration style is very good, but not particularly stunning (purely personal aesthetic), and it is basically fully booked on weekends. Several homestays are close together and are just a few steps away. What impressed me the most was this Xipo store. I really liked its decoration style and taste. You can sit down and drink coffee in the store! They have more than a dozen stores across the country, and the one in Moganshan is also very good. If you depart from Shenzhen, it is very convenient. It takes three hours to drive there, or one hour and forty minutes by high-speed rail! It’s simply the back garden of the Greater Bay Area! It is highly recommended to come and relax on the weekend and experience the homestay. Longnan County is very ordinary and not particularly popular yet. There are not many people in several popular homestays. Before they become popular, come and check in and experience the walled house culture. #Greater Bay Area Accommodation #Overseas Travel #Sign Up for Hotel Test Sleeper #Halloween2023

Ganzhou, known as the "Cradle of Hakka", is known as one of the three major Hakka gathering points along with Meizhou in Guangdong and Longyan in Fujian. Guanxi Walled House is a standard square Hakka walled house, about 92 meters long and 84 meters wide, with walls 10 meters high. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years. The purpose of building a walled house of this scale is, on the one hand, to meet the need of living, but more importantly, to prevent theft and banditry, and it has the same function as a "bunker". Today, Guanxiwei has become a key protected cultural relic and is worth a visit.

Located beside Yuzitanwei in Xinli Village, Liren Town, Longnan, Ganzhou, this Hakka ancient village is nestled in the world's capital of Hakka walled villages. Adjacent to the ancient buildings of Yuzitanwei and Shabawei, it's only a ten-minute drive from Longnan East Railway Station and a short drive from Guanxi Xinwei Scenic Area. Surrounded by hundreds of Hakka fortresses, this guesthouse is situated in the heart of a thousand-year-old Hakka cultural heritage, serving as both a revitalized art gallery of ancient walled villages and a secluded Nanyang-style resort retreat. A dedicated free parking lot is available in front of the guesthouse, ensuring hassle-free parking for guests arriving by car. A dedicated butler provides personalized service throughout the stay, and connections to nearby walled village areas are readily available, easily linking the entire cultural landscape of Longnan. The entire guesthouse is a renovated and restored century-old Hakka walled village. The exterior retains the original rammed earth walled structure, while the interior blends retro Nanyang aesthetics. The exterior walls preserve the original yellow mud rammed earth walls, gray tile eaves, and iconic plum blossom gun slits, completely preserving the old defensive structure. The courtyard is divided into multiple courtyards, including the Zuo Lin Ting and Chong Wen Ting, with bluestone alleys connecting to the skylights. A shallow stream meanders through the courtyards, overgrown with vegetation, and a large green space connects to an outdoor infinity pool. The clear pool water reflects the gray walls of the walled village and the distant bamboo forest. On sunny days, rattan parasols and lounge chairs are arranged along the pool. In the afternoon, sunlight filters through the plum blossom windows of the walled village, casting dappled shadows on the ground, creating picturesque scenes at every turn. The public lobby retains the original wooden beams, with retro patterned tile floors paired with Indonesian handmade rattan furniture and exotic carpets. Warm, soft lighting blends with the rough texture of the rammed earth. A book bar and coffee bar are scattered throughout, while a tea room on one side quietly displays old Hakka objects and local cultural and creative products. The laid-back Nanyang style and the profound Hakka heritage blend naturally here. The hotel boasts only a few dozen guest rooms, divided into four main types: Classic King, Selected Twin, and Leisure Suite. The spaces follow the meticulous design principles of Xipo, with arched doorways and openwork wooden windows replicating details of traditional Hakka walled villages. Soft furnishings, featuring cotton and linen fabrics and terracotta ornaments, evoke a Southeast Asian ambiance. Each room includes a private open-air balcony with panoramic views and an indoor tatami area, offering close-up views of the surrounding gardens and distant rolling hills. Bathrooms feature Le Labo fragrance toiletries, underfloor heating, and smart bathroom fixtures. Rooms are also equipped with YAMAHA speakers, SMEG kettles, and retro mini-fridges. Some suites include a built-in bathtub with a view, allowing guests to soak while gazing at the mountain mists. Balancing retro aesthetics with comfort, the hotel offers suitable room types for couples, groups of friends, and families. The morning's aromas are hidden within an authentic Hakka breakfast. A semi-buffet table is laden with hot rice noodles, Hakka rice milk, ash-water rice cakes, sweet potato pancakes, and freshly stir-fried rice noodles, accompanied by fresh mountain fruits and vegetables and farm-raised eggs—a bite that awakens the authentic flavors of southern Jiangxi. Lunch is prepared by local villagers, featuring home-style Hakka dishes: tender and flavorful stuffed tofu, crisp and refreshing salt and pepper river fish, and vegetables sourced from nearby farms. In the afternoon, enjoy hand-drip coffee at the café or brew a pot of Hakka Lei Cha (pounded tea). In the evening, you can reserve a small gathering in the courtyard, sipping homemade Hakka rice wine under the moonlight—a perfect blend of lively atmosphere and refined elegance. Leisure time offers a variety of activities. The guesthouse regularly offers local activities such as plant printing, DIY soap making, and Lei Cha (pounded tea) experiences, immersing guests in the joys of Hakka intangible cultural heritage. Alternatively, guests can walk with the butler to the neighboring Yuzaitanwei walled village, touching the century-old rammed earth walls and learning about Hakka migration history. A self-drive trip to Guansi Xinwei allows guests to explore the massive "Nine Buildings and Eighteen Halls" fortress, closely examining the wood carvings, stone inscriptions, and architectural style of the walled village. Returning from the ancient walled village at dusk, guests can relax by the pool, chatting as the evening breeze carries the fragrance of bamboo and grass, and the lights of the old walled village gradually illuminate the warm glow of the rammed earth buildings, blending the thousand-year history of Hakka culture with the leisurely resort atmosphere of Southeast Asia into a peaceful mountain retreat. Based on the foundation of a century-old walled village, Xipo Longnan breaks away from the homogenization of traditional guesthouses. While preserving the cultural heritage of the ancient Hakka architecture, it infuses a relaxed Southeast Asian resort atmosphere, creating a secluded courtyard in the green hills and ancient villages of the walled village capital, offering tranquil living and a chance to appreciate Hakka culture.

As an experienced traveler who has been all over China, I, Lao Gao, have discovered a treasure this time! Yangcun Ancient Town in Longnan, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, named by CCTV 9 times, hides the most authentic Hakka culture. It’s free from the noisy over-commercialization but rich with the weight of ancient enclosed buildings and the lively local markets, making it even more worth savoring slowly than Wuzhen. Today, I’ve put together a comprehensive 2-day, 1-night guide for you, covering transportation, accommodation, budget, and itinerary clearly! 📸 Must-visit spots to unlock the core experiences of Yangcun 1. Yanyi Enclosure | A living museum of Hakka enclosed buildings As Yangcun’s signature landmark, this enclosure, built during the Qing Shunzhi period, is a “star building” featured on the show "National Treasure." Four high walls rise from the ground, and the four-story enclosure can house hundreds of families. Walking in the courtyard, you look up to a patch of blue sky framed by wooden beams, red lanterns gently swaying in the breeze, and elderly ladies sitting on doorsteps picking vegetables. Time here seems to slow down. Climb the lookout tower of the enclosure to overlook the entire ancient town with its gray tiles and white walls—every snapshot tells a story📸. 2. Taiping Bridge | A century-old covered bridge hidden among mountains and waters Built in the Ming Dynasty, Taiping Bridge is another treasure not to be missed in Yangcun. The three-arched stone bridge spans the Yangcun River, with bluestone slabs polished smooth by time and wooden structures showing rustic textures. In the early morning mist, the bridge’s reflection in the emerald river looks like a flowing ink painting. At dusk, local elders sit at the bridgehead chatting and cooling off, children play by the river, filling the air with lively local life. The ancient dock nearby still preserves old stone steps, stepping on them feels like touching the bustling commerce of a century ago. 3. Yangcun Ancient Street | Immersive Hakka local market atmosphere After visiting the enclosure and the ancient bridge, be sure to stroll through Yangcun’s market town ancient street. The bluestone road is flanked by well-preserved Hakka residences, with many local snack shops and handmade craft stalls. There’s no generic trendy milk tea here, but freshly made Yangcun black rice noodles, ban gai meatballs, and Hakka silver jewelry crafted live by old artisans. On market days (the 2nd, 5th, and 8th days of the lunar calendar), the street becomes bustling with local villagers selling homegrown fruits, vegetables, and homemade rice wine.

Before it’s discovered by too many, bring this guide and come to Yangcun for a century-crossing enclosure rendezvous.

Just a 1.5-hour drive from Gan Zhou, I discovered this seriously underrated treasure—Longnan Nanwudang Mountain. No need to wake up early to rush, no crowds to squeeze through, no intense hiking, even elders and kids can easily enjoy it all. It hides Danxia peaks, cliff plank roads, starry sky inns, and a mountaintop God of Wealth temple, combining oxygen intake, kid-friendly fun, blessings, and relaxation all in one! 💡 Why is it the ultimate spot for trips around Gan Zhou? 1. Lazy-friendly! A Danxia wonderland with zero foot effort Don’t be put off by “mountain climbing” anymore! Here, sightseeing buses, magic carpets, and cable cars cover the whole area—no stairs, no wild paths. Even elders and kids can easily check in at all the spots. Walking on the cliff plank road, below are towering Danxia cliffs, and in the distance, layered green mountains. The breeze makes even your hair shine; the high-altitude suspension bridge spans two peaks, with a lush green valley beneath. Walking on it is thrilling and healing, and every snap is a social media masterpiece. 2. Secret atmospheric photo spots to blow up your social feed · A natural heart-shaped cave, like a frame made by God, capturing Nanwudang’s peaks, blue sky, and sea of clouds into a painting. Standing at the cave entrance for a silhouette shot instantly amps up the vibe. · The 520-meter elevation popular signboard, with endless Danxia mountain views behind. Couples taking photos here get a full sense of ceremony. · The mountaintop wishing tree is hung with red ribbons that flutter gently in the wind, carrying everyone’s wishes into the mountains. · The light and shadow at the “One Line Sky” is stunning. Sunlight leaks through rock crevices, lighting the Danxia cliffs softly and mysteriously. Silhouette shots here are amazing. 3. Wild luxury inns hidden in the mountains, the ultimate laid-back vacation This time I stayed at the “Mantu Interstellar Wild Luxury Inn” inside the scenic area, and it was the perfect choice! The space capsule rooms have three-floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Danxia mountains. You can watch the sunrise and sea of clouds from bed, and at night, gaze at the starry sky. The whole house has smart voice control, making it super worry-free for families with kids. You don’t need to leave the scenic area for meals. Hakka breakfast is freshly made, and in the evening, you can barbecue and chat in the inn’s BBQ area, truly living “inside the scenery” for a laid-back vacation. 4. The mountaintop God of Wealth temple, full of blessing ceremony vibes When tired, visit the God of Wealth temple at the top, ring the blessing bell, tie a red ribbon on the wishing tree, and leave your fortune and luck in the mountains. Locals say this God of Wealth temple is very effective. Many come here specifically to pray for wealth, whether running a business or working a regular job, everyone can catch some good fortune~ 📝 2-day 1-night lazy itinerary, just copy it Day 1: Depart Gan Zhou → 1.5-hour drive straight to the scenic area → Check into the inn, drop your bags and relax → Afternoon take sightseeing bus + magic carpet up the mountain, check out cliff plank road, suspension bridge, heart-shaped cave → Evening back to the inn for BBQ and stargazing Day 2: Wake up early to see the mountain sea of clouds (or sleep in if you prefer) → Hakka breakfast at the inn → Visit God of Wealth temple, wishing tree, ring the bell for blessings → Leisurely return trip 💡 Tips to avoid pitfalls for everyone ✅ Prioritize staying in inns inside the scenic area to avoid back-and-forth travel, beat the crowds, and catch the sea of clouds early for a doubled experience ✅ Definitely buy the magic carpet + sightseeing bus combo ticket. Families with kids can enjoy the whole trip stress-free without squeezing through crowds or climbing ✅ The best light is after 4 PM going up the mountain. The sunset casts warm golden light on the Danxia cliffs, creating stunning shadows ✅ The mountaintop inn restaurant serves authentic Hakka cuisine, so you can have all your meals without leaving the scenic area—perfect for lazy travelers If you want a small, worry-free, photogenic getaway near Gan Zhou, Nanwudang Mountain is a no-brainer! Whether with kids, couples, or city workers wanting to escape, everyone can find their own relaxation here. Which spot do you most want to check out at Nanwudang Mountain? Tell me in the comments! 👇

Useful Tips 📝 · Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Longnan East Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride to the city center; attractions are scattered, so driving/chartering a car is recommended. · Navigation: Guansiwei Scenic Area, Wushiwei, Yuzaitanwei, Taiping Bridge (Yangcun Town) · Photography: Taiping Bridge, Wushiwei outer wall, Guansiwei courtyard – great photo spots! · Culture: The walled villages are mostly residential areas; please speak softly and respect the local people's way of life. V. Avoidance Guidelines ❌ · Avoid weekends/holidays; although less popular, they attract many local tourists. Weekdays are quieter. · Don't believe the overpriced souvenirs at the entrance of the walled villages; they are cheaper in the city market. · Don't wear high heels; the stone-paved streets of the walled villages are more comfortable. · Don't miss the morning/night markets; snacks on Lianjiang Road cost 5-15 yuan and have a vibrant, lively atmosphere. VI. Essential Checklist 🎒 · Documents: ID card, student ID (half-price admission) · Clothing: Sunscreen clothing, light jacket, comfortable sneakers · Items: Power bank, camera, umbrella, sun protection products · Others: Small amount of cash, face mask, small backpack

Suddenly, I thought of a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I turned back to Longnan and checked in 🏠 The day before check-in, I toured the room with the butler, Xiao Wang. It was much prettier than the photos on the OTA platform, especially the view of the train passing by the window and the terrace. I thought I must experience it next time. On the way back to Guangzhou, I stopped by Yan Yiwei and Taiping Bridge, and I was really looking forward to them. I called Xipo, and Xiao Wang answered again. He told me that they were locking up the rooms that day in preparation for garden disinfection the next day, so there was no one at the hotel. It would take about an hour for him to get back (I later learned that he had already worked the early shift and had already left when he answered the phone; he was working overtime to receive us). After confirming the details, I immediately headed north back to Longnan. Let me mention some very touching service details 🥹: · Knowing that we hadn't had dinner yet, Xiao Wang heated up two sausages for us to eat first, and also carefully prepared tableware and heated up the takeout food, plating it. · They prepared a large bag of pet care products, complete with food, supplies, and clothing. · Upon arriving at the room, we found a fresh flower arrangement, prepared by Xiao Wang. · The housekeeper for the next day was Xiao Hua, who prepared unsweetened coconut lattes for afternoon tea. She also took us to visit the guesthouse next door. · Knowing we had a bit too much luggage, she came to help as soon as she heard us coming downstairs. We were truly well taken care of here. . The openwork carvings on the walls, the bathroom floor tiles, and the design of the chandeliers all feature Hakka-style plum blossom patterns. The exterior walls and balcony walls are made of rammed earth, while the interior features warm terrazzo flooring; Hakka cultural elements are extracted and integrated into modern aesthetics and comfort. . We stayed in a classic room on the second floor. There was a sofa by the window that could be used as a bed, a small terrace with views of the garden and pool, and a mountain view that I didn't want to leave. Two small blankets were provided for when it got cold. The toiletries were from LE LABO. They offered mild black and green tea bags; a small suggestion: it would be even better if they provided drip coffee bags or capsule coffee. After checking out, I didn't want to leave right away, so I lingered in the common area for a coffee ☕️. Sometimes I think a big reason why a place is so memorable is because of the people you meet there. The housekeepers, Xiao Wang and Xiao Hua, were incredibly thoughtful and loved to share. They subtly understood your preferences and needs from your words and then silently provided service and assistance. The sense of surprise and delight for guests arises naturally here. I hope to see them here again next time.

Travel through the time tunnel and visit the ultra-hidden Hakka ancient buildings cluster in Longnan, Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Absolutely pristine and perfect for photos! 📸 🚶One-day walking itinerary: Yanyiwei → Taiping Bridge → Wushiwei The three spots are very close to each other, making it super easy to explore in one day! 🏛️Yanyiwei One of the most stunning walled villages in Ganzhou! A Qing Dynasty ancient building with a unique defensive design—surrounded by high walls and blue bricks with gray tiles, you can almost hear the laughter from a hundred years ago✨ 🌉Taiping Bridge A quiet ancient bridge by the creek, with a weathered bridge body full of historical charm. The ancient tree at the bridgehead plus the babbling creek make a perfect photo backdrop! 📸 The best part is that there’s absolutely no one around! It feels amazing to have the entire ancient bridge to yourself~ 🏠Wushiwei A Hakka walled village full of local life! Residents still live here, so you can truly experience traditional Hakka living.

Just navigate to "Yanyiwei," "Taiping Bridge," and "Wushiwei." The three places are very close, and one day is enough starting from Longnan County town. 💡Tips: 1️⃣ Not a commercial tourist spot, very pristine and natural 2️⃣ Remember to bring water and snacks, as there are few restaurants nearby 3️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes! The stone paths in the walled villages are uneven 4️⃣ Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons to visit, with the best lighting 5️⃣ Enjoy the quiet atmosphere and don’t disturb the residents

At the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi lies a little-known "Nan Wudang Mountain," not only boasting stunning scenery but also offering a cloud ladder ride up the mountain and a slide ride down! The fun factor is off the charts✨ 📍Location: Longnan, Jiangxi The story here is fascinating! The great Ming dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming once inscribed a couplet at the mountain top: "Martial force is no match for spiritual power; strive to cultivate virtue and do good; why hesitate to be benevolent when it is right; benevolence is the heart and virtue is the foundation." Combining the first two characters gives us "Wudang," a name full of martial arts spirit~ One is a grand royal Taoist temple: the unbeatable golden summit is a must-visit for martial arts fans. The other is a youthful adventure park: the Danxia landform is legendary, with super trendy activities. They are totally two different styles! Going up: ride the "conveyor belt-style" cloud ladder 🚠 Coming down: slide down the slide 🎢 The whole trip takes 3 hours, and you won’t feel tired at all~ 🌄The Danxia landform is amazing! The red mountains shine brilliantly under the sun, with all kinds of bizarre rock shapes: ✨Like dinosaur fossils left by aliens ✨Or like legendary swords from martial arts movies The view from the top is unbeatable, with both Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces in full sight! 💡Useful tips: ▪️Bring snacks and water (there’s not much to eat on the mountain) ▪️Wear comfortable shoes (there’s a short climb) ▪️Book tickets online in advance for better deals ▪️Choose a sunny day (the Danxia colors are more vivid)

As "China's No. 1 Water Town," Zhouzhuang's blue tiles and white walls hold countless Jiangnan stories. Having visited three times, I've finally figured out the best ways to explore. From parking to dining, I've got it all covered, so even with just 3 hours, you can have a delightful visit~ 🚗 Must-Read Before You Go: Transportation & Tickets ▫️ For Drivers: A direct 1-hour 20-minute drive from Haining. As you approach the scenic area, locals might wave you down for parking, but I highly recommend Official Parking Lot No. 2! It costs 10 yuan for 4 hours, has ample and secure spaces, and is super close to the entrance. ▫️ Tickets: 50 yuan on weekdays, 100 yuan on weekends/holidays (Key point! The 100 yuan ticket grants lifetime free entry after linking it to your ID card – super cost-effective if you visit often!) ▫️ Combo Ticket Tip: A combo ticket for Wansan Money House + Shen Hall's second floor is 50 yuan, saving 10 yuan compared to buying separately. Recommended for those who want to delve deeper into the ancient town's history. 🌿 3-Hour Essential Route: Explore Zhouzhuang's Scenery Step by Step ▫️ Entrance → Shuang Bridge (A must-photograph!) Right after entering the ancient town, you'll see Shuang Bridge. The two stone bridges reflect each other, forming a "well" character in the water. In the soft light of early morning or evening, photos here look just like the Jiangnan scenes from textbooks. ▫️ Fu'an Bridge → Taiping Bridge Walk along the river and admire the unique charm of the 14 ancient bridges from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Fu'an Bridge has a small temple under each of its four arches. Taiping Bridge is perfect for capturing the riverside life of the local homes. Sit on a stone bench by the bridge and watch the sculling boats slowly pass by; time itself seems to slow down. ▫️ Shen Hall → Zhang Hall Shen Hall's "seven courtyards and five gate towers" are incredibly grand, with wood carvings and brick reliefs telling stories of wealthy Ming Dynasty merchants. Zhang Hall's "sedan chairs enter through the gate, boats pass through the house" is fascinating; sitting in the courtyard, you can see small boats gliding along the river next to the house. ▫️ Browse small shops along the exit route On your way back, you can leisurely browse the handmade goods on the street. Indigo-dyed cloth and bamboo woven baskets are very distinctive. You can buy a few packs of "Apo Cai" (Grandma's Vegetables) as souvenirs; they're refreshing and help cut through richness. 🚣 Unmissable Experiences: Sculling Boat + Food ▫️ Sculling Boat: 200 yuan/boat (seats up to 6 people). Sharing a boat is more cost-effective! The boat lady rows while humming in soft Wu dialect, willow branches brush the water on both banks, and blue tiles and white walls glide past. It's at this moment that you truly understand "small bridges, flowing water, and homes." ▫️ Must-Try Foods: ✔️ Wansan Pork Hock: Look for Shen Hall Restaurant! It's braised to a rich reddish-brown, so tender it falls off the bone, absolutely perfect with rice. Vacuum-packed versions are available to take home. ✔️ Water Shield and Perch Soup: The water shield is silky smooth and tender, the perch is fresh and delicious. A bowl of this warms your stomach. ✔️ Haitang Cake: The freshly made ones from street stalls are the best. Crispy on the outside, sweet and soft filling on the inside, 5 yuan each for great value. ✔️ Qingtuan: A seasonal specialty around Qingming Festival. Fragrant with mugwort, and the red bean paste filling is sweet but not cloying. 💡 Tips 1. Avoid holidays! Weekends can be crowded, but visiting on a weekday allows you to enjoy the ancient town's tranquility and take photos without competing for spots. 2. Light-colored clothing photographs better, especially cheongsams or linen dresses, which pair perfectly with the blue tiles and white walls. 3. No need to bring too much; water and snacks are available throughout the ancient town. It's more comfortable to stroll lightly. The beauty of Zhouzhuang isn't in rushing to check off sights, but in slowly savoring it—sitting by the river watching boats come and go, listening to grandmas tell stories of the ancient town. Even the air carries the gentle essence of Jiangnan. When will you come for this water town rendezvous? Tell me in the comments~
