[2025 Shixing Attraction] Travel Guide for Mantang Kejia Dawei (Updated Mar)

In his poem, Tao Yuanming wrote, "Long caged in a cage, I have returned to nature," expressing the infinite beauty of rural life. More than a thousand years later, people still regard this poem as a treasure, especially those living in cities. Going to the countryside to breathe fresh air and see the vibrant greenery on weekends or holidays is a popular lifestyle today. 🌿🌿🌿 Located in northern Guangdong, Shaoguan is a tourist virgin land that has not been overdeveloped and has simple folk customs. It is the first choice for rural tourism routes for people living in the fast-paced life of the Pearl River Delta. Hongli Village in Shixing County, Shaoguan, is getting deeper and deeper on the road to beautiful countryside. My friends who love to travel invited me to start a two-day trip. 😎😎😎 Although it takes more than 5 hours to drive from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Hongli Village in Shaoguan, the road conditions are good, and the scenery is nice. Changing drivers and singing along the way, the journey is not tiring. When we drove into Hongli Village, we were suddenly enlightened. This is a model of a beautiful countryside. The natural landscape and cultural buildings are enough for us to explore. Moreover, the village is holding a tourism carnival, and the villagers are singing and dancing with singers and acrobats. 🥳🥳🥳 The sense of ceremony at the opening ceremony was quite interesting. It was carried out in the form of "opening pomelo." It seems that the specialty of the village is not pears but pomelos. The outstanding specialties are peanuts and yams. There are also fusion cuisines that combine Hakka and Jiangxi flavors, and the national key cultural relic protection unit, Mantangwei, is worth exploring. It is the right time to go to Shixing. 🚘🚘🚘

I originally thought that the Hakka round houses in Fujian were impressive enough, but I didn't expect the Hakka round houses in Shaoguan, northern Guangdong, to be also very captivating. The Hakka Full House Enclosure is a very typical Hakka residential architecture. Being there, it feels as if you can sense the unity and friendship of the Hakka people, and walking through the alleys, you can imagine that the family gatherings must have been extraordinarily lively. The main architectural style dates back to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and taking photos in Ming dynasty Hanfu will feel very authentic. -Departing from Guangzhou 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Shaoguan, then drive/rent a car for 1.5 hours 🚗 Driving takes about 3 hours, it is recommended to drive directly 🎫 30 RMB per person

Mantang Hakka Dawei is located in Shixing County, Shaoguan. It is a walled house that combines the styles of northern castles and courtyards. After 200 years of wind and rain, the structure is still intact. Due to the population fluctuations, it has now become a cultural relic. The maintenance inside the wall is good and worth appreciating. A fresh noodle shop opened outside the door - Prime Minister noodles are 15 yuan per plate 😋 The admission fee is 30 yuan per person, which supports maintenance and repair costs.

To be honest, it is the first time to see Hakka's Tai Wai. The Hakka's surrounding houses have long been heard. Shihshang Mantang Hakka is one of the largest Hakka houses in Guangdong. It feels like you can live in the next group. Hh/ was built by the rich man of the time, and the eldest son and grandson of his descendants lived here. It was simple and simple, with exquisite and elegant charm. The outer wall was very hard. There were still shooting holes and holes. Now there are people. Living in it, the sunset looks far and wide and the scenery is super beautiful~
