I've long heard that Ganzhou hides a place called the "Number One Grotto in Jiangnan." Before setting off to Tongtianyan, I thought, It’s just a few stone statues in the mountains, how stunning could it be? But when I actually stepped into Tongtianyan, I realized Some places you really have to visit in person to understand their true weight. For just a 30 RMB ticket, you can open a book sealed by time. 【Tour Route】 Visitor Center ➟ Wang Yangming Statue ➟ Fengfan Pavilion ➟ Guanxin Rock ➟ Wanggui Rock ➟ Longhu Rock ➟ Guangfu Temple ➟ Tongtianyan ➟ Cuiwei Rock ➟ Putong Pagoda ➟ Cimu Guanlan (Reclining Buddha) ➟ Return 【Don’t Miss These Highlights】 Luckily, I missed the crowded rush. The wind passed through the cliffs, carrying a faint scent of grass and trees. I felt you must walk slowly here—5 cliffs, over 300 grottoes, more than 100 inscriptions—take your time to feel the millennia of history. ❶ Guanxin Rock: The place where Wang Yangming built a hut to teach and rest at Tongtianyan. The cave is very cool; rest your feet if you get tired. ❷ Wanggui Rock: Unique Danxia rock tunnel with strong winds year-round; Wang Yangming’s poems are inscribed on the walls. ❸ Longhu Rock: Named for the Song Dynasty statues of Dragon Tree King, Golden Dragon, and Twin Tigers carved between the cliffs. ❹ Tongtianyan: The core! The essence of the Northern Song cliff carvings is here. Look up—the Buddha statues are especially solemn and make for amazing photos. ❺ Cuiwei Rock: A hidden small grotto group wrapped in green vines, naturally giving a secretive vibe. ❻ Cimu Guanlan (Reclining Buddha): 23 meters long, carved into the mountain. Although newly built in modern times, the Buddha statue is especially kind and solemn. Currently, the statue is surrounded by bamboo scaffolding for repairs, but you can still see it through the bamboo. Fortunately, when I visited, it wasn’t fully covered yet. 【Tips】 ✔️ Wear comfortable shoes; the mountain paths aren’t steep but can be tiring after a while. ✔️ Take bus No. 18 from Ganzhou Station directly to the Visitor Center—very convenient. ✔️ Following my route, half a day is enough if you don’t climb the mountain. ⚠️ For a two-day, one-night Ganzhou itinerary, check my homepage.

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.

Just got back from Longnan and was really amazed by this small town! We left early Saturday morning and managed to visit all the highlights in two days. The pace was just right. 📍Basic overview Not far from Shenzhen, hidden deep in the mountains of southern Jiangxi, is the "hometown of world walled villages."

As a tour guide who often runs short trips around Guangdong, I was amazed to discover Longnan, a little-known town tucked away in southern Jiangxi✨ No need to squeeze into crowded attractions. In just two days, you can explore the thousand-year-old Hakka walled villages and the stunning Danxia Mountains all at once. Driving there and back is easy and relaxed, with great value for the cost. 📅 Two-day, one-night itinerary tested with zero pitfalls Day 1 Depart Shenzhen → First experience of Hakka walled villages Drive from Shenzhen at 8:30 AM on Saturday and arrive at Yangcun Yanyiwei by 11:30 AM. The highway is smooth with no traffic. ⚠️ Tip: The charging stations at the walled village entrance may be full. Walk 100 meters to the Huili charging station where midday electricity costs just over 0.7 yuan. The charging power can reach 160kw, so recharging is very fast. This walled village has three to four stories with impressive rammed earth walls. Spend a leisurely hour inside to feel the solid texture of old Hakka architecture. A few kilometers away is Wushiwei, which is free to enter and has very few visitors. There are almost no commercial stalls, making it feel like stepping into an ancient village forgotten by time. You can explore it in half an hour, and every photo looks like a pristine ancient village scene. Then drive to Longnan city. The mountain roads are winding and some sections are narrow, so slow down and drive carefully. You can check in at the Wushiwei Hotel in the city by around 3 PM, which offers excellent value. At 4 PM, visit Yangming Xingu Scenic Area. You can walk through it in 1–2 hours. The hidden caves inside are a delightful surprise. The other sights are decent, and the mountain top is windy and cool, so you won’t get sunburned while exploring. For dinner, skip the popular Chu Niang restaurant and choose the nearby Zaipang restaurant instead. The local Hakka dishes were delicious enough to eat two bowls of rice. Day 2 Guansiwei → Nanwudang Mountain → Return to Shenzhen Leave before 9 AM on Sunday and reach Guansiwei Scenic Area in less than half an hour. You can explore it in 2 hours. Guansi New Walled Village is very large and well preserved. Climb to the top of the watchtower to overlook the entire village. The surrounding smaller walled villages each have their own charm, making the ticket well worth it. Return to the city for lunch around 11 AM, then head straight to Nanwudang Mountain Scenic Area. Park at the visitor center by 2:30 PM and take the cloud ladder up the mountain. Walk slowly along the mountain trail and be back at the foot by 5:30 PM. The wind on the mountain is strong and cool. The rounded Danxia peaks look like white radishes, and the scenery is even better than expected. 💡 Tip: No need to take the downhill slide; it doesn’t save much time. Walking down the trail lets you see more sights. The via ferrata project in the scenic area is currently being upgraded. It looks thrilling, so come back to try it once it opens. After exploring, head straight back to Shenzhen and arrive home by 9 PM without rushing through Monday morning traffic.

except for Huang Daosheng pedestrian street. Evening stroll without thinking: Huang Daosheng arcade old street ➡️ Xiadou Ancient City Gate ➡️ Longnan ancient city wall, very relaxing. Passing by a nearby residence, the family was having dinner. The interior decoration looked just like my childhood home. Huang Daosheng old street is named after a fabric brand from the late Qing and early Republic era. The owner was Huang Zhenyu, who started from scratch and ran his business with integrity. The "Huang Daosheng" brand became the old street’s landmark. The old street also has a spiritual fortress, centered on an inscribed wooden stake discovered in 2023. The base is a weight symbolizing the foundation of fairness, and the top is a rice measure symbolizing prosperity. In addition, there is a group of PLA statues on the street. When the PLA entered the county in 1949, to avoid disturbing the locals, they stayed overnight under the arcade of Huang Daosheng old street in their uniforms. This street is not long, but many of the shops on both sides are old stores that have disappeared in Guangzhou but still exist here. If you come to Longnan and enjoy nostalgia, remember to save an evening for it.

Jiangxi Ganzhou Longnan Wushiwei summer day trip guide I am a travel enthusiast who headed to Wushiwei in Yangcun Town, Longnan, Ganzhou, in the height of summer. This Ming Dynasty Hakka walled village, with a history of over 400 years, preserves the original ecological ancient village scenery. Surrounded by lush greenery in the summer mountains, the walled village is cool and quiet, offering an escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. It’s a perfect place to appreciate Hakka ancient architecture culture and capture vintage-style photos, making it a unique cultural spot for summer retreats. One-day itinerary Drive to the parking lot at the entrance of Wushiwei village → photograph the toad-shaped black stone and crescent pond in front of the gate → enter the walled village to visit the ancestral hall on the central axis and the horse corridor, admire Ming Dynasty wood carvings and gray sculptures → stroll through the alleys to experience the local lifestyle → walk 10 minutes to Yan Yiwei to visit the ancient walled village → check in at the century-old Taiping covered bridge in the afternoon, then return in the evening. The soft morning light is ideal for photography. At noon, cool off inside the walled village. The pace is relaxed, combining cultural and natural scenery. Main attraction descriptions Wushiwei was built in the 10th year of the Wanli reign in the Ming Dynasty, taking 28 years to complete. It is over 400 years old and a nationally protected cultural relic. The walled village is named after a huge black stone shaped like a toad in front of the main gate. It is a rare front-square, rear-round walled village in southern Jiangxi, covering 4,500 square meters. The outer walls are made of mottled bluestone covered with moss, giving it a simple and solid appearance. Inside, the central axis houses the Hakka ancestral hall, preserving exquisite brick carvings and murals. The century-old fir wood pillars have withstood the test of time without decay. The second-floor horse corridor surrounds the entire building, offering a bird’s-eye view of the layered courtyards. The summer cross-ventilation breeze is cool and comfortable. Villagers still live here, drying crops in front of their doors and elders quietly weaving, full of authentic Hakka daily life. The crescent pond faces the main gate of the walled village. The water is clear, and in summer, the lush plants by the pond reflect the walled village and ancient trees, creating excellent photo opportunities. The Taiping covered bridge, reachable on foot, is an ancient stone arch bridge nestled among green trees with a babbling stream, making it a great place to cool off and take a walk in summer. Main attraction photo references 1. Panoramic view of Wushiwei + toad-shaped black stone and crescent pond reflection in front of the gate 2.

The bluestone slab roads inside the walled village are uneven and slippery after summer rain due to moss growth. Wear non-slip flat shoes. Flip-flops and high heels are prohibited. 2. The UV rays in southern Jiangxi are strong in summer, and the ancient village has little shade. Bring a sun hat and sunscreen. Mosquitoes are common in the forested areas, so carry insect repellent. 3. Local villagers still live inside the walled village. Respect their privacy. Do not open private doors without permission. Ask before photographing villagers. 4. The horse corridor railing is low. Supervise children at all times. Do not lean on or climb the railing. Avoid running or playing in the corridor. 5. Driving to Yangcun Town involves many mountain curves. Drive slowly. Village roads are narrow. Park only in the designated village entrance parking lot. Roadside parking is prohibited. 6.

Escape the summer heat and stroll through this 400-year-old Hakka walled village. Experience the wisdom of ancestral architecture among the blue-gray ancient walls and quiet courtyards. A pool of clear water reflects the old houses, and the mountain breeze accompanies the ancient buildings, offering a peaceful and healing cultural day trip. (
