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 returned from Longnan last week, and I'm still immersed in "mountain mode" – this time I truly struck gold! The "Daylily Longnan Hakka Tulou" homestay, just a 1.5-hour high-speed train ride from Shenzhen, embodies "seclusion" and "healing" to the core. Even a city workaholic like me wanted to stay forever! "Super convenient transportation, truly a city's backyard garden" The homestay is located next to Yuzaitan Tulou in Liren Town, Longnan, just a 10-minute taxi ride from Longnan East Station! With high-speed trains from Nanchang (2.2h), Shenzhen (1.5h), and Huizhou (1h), weekend getaways are a breeze for nearby city dwellers. Coming from Shenzhen, the mountain breeze greeted us the moment we stepped off the train, instantly saying goodbye to the city's stifling heat! "Step outside to an ancient oriental fortress, poetry hidden in the mountains" Adjacent to "Yuzaitan Tulou" (locally known as the "Hakka Wine Fortress"), this is Longnan's best-preserved Hakka tulou! The old blue-brick houses with gray tiles and weathered rammed earth walls are visible from the homestay's terrace, like a living ink painting. Nearby is the "Xi Art Museum" (a mini tulou-turned-gallery), just a 5-minute walk away, blending art and local charm perfectly. The homestay itself features a traditional three-courtyard tulou structure with modern design touches! The lively front courtyard (with a café and pool) contrasts with the serene backyard (with expansive lawns and an outdoor pool). The central hall resembles an old tulou's "main room," with carved wooden ceilings and exposed beams exuding warmth under soft yellow lighting, creating an instant sense of "coming home." "Rooms immersed in nature, a detail-lover's dream" Stayed in a bathtub king room – spacious at 43+ sqm! The open layout offers views of green mountains through the windows. Waking up to birdsong, lounging on the terrace with a lazy sofa watching clouds drift – this is what vacation should be! Thoughtful room amenities: Marshall speakers playing soft music, plush bathrobes, heated smart toilet seats, and nature-inspired scents. Some rooms even have private soaking tubs. After a bath, lying on the terrace with mountain breezes carrying earthy fragrances is pure bliss. "All-inclusive dining and activities, wilderness with refinement" The homestay's "Wild Dining" breakfast is amazing! Freshly made rice noodles, oven-baked bread, local pickles, and stone-ground soy milk – so delicious my kid had three bowls! For dinner, enjoy hand-brewed coffee at "Wild Café" with stir-fried bamboo shoots and bacon – utterly delightful! For summer fun, don't miss the backyard outdoor pool! Cool water with mountain views beats hotel pools any day. Kids can play with creek exploration gear (kayaks, fishing nets provided) or pick handmade souvenirs at "Wild Market" (cups and incense with tulou motifs). Seek quiet? Try calligraphy in the meditation room. Prefer company? Chat with the owner about tulou stories in the evening – activities here aren't just "checklist items" but genuine slow-living experiences. "Nearby attractions for endless exploration" A 20-minute drive away is "Guanxi Tulou Scenic Area," dubbed the "Oriental Ancient Roman Castle," with imposing walls and historic bullet holes. "Qianlonggou Grand Waterfall" is perfect for summer water fun!

| Discover a serene escape for the weekend. This weekend, let's set off again 🥰 A 2-hour high-speed train ride from Shenzhen takes you to a beautiful cluster of traditional Hakka roundhouse homestays in Longnan, located at the border of Guangdong and Jiangxi. We stayed at a minimalist aesthetic homestay surrounded by lush green mountains and trees. 🍂 Homestay Choice Longnan Shuangzi Wei features five distinct homestays within one courtyard. The common areas of all five are open for guests to explore. After comparing, we chose the one with the best value and style: **"Pusu·Island Letter"** The staff were warm and welcoming, actively coordinating communication via group chats. The meals, prepared by the homestay's auntie, showcased authentic Hakka farmhouse flavors with refined dishes. Breakfast was light yet hearty, featuring Chinese-style stir-fried rice noodles with mixed grains. The 50-square-meter room came with a comprehensive toiletry kit. Evening turndown service and a sweet bedtime soup were thoughtful touches. The homestay also offers handicraft experiences and costume rentals, ensuring guests never feel bored in the mountains. The common areas are tranquil, and the café is home to a chubby little cat named Cheese 🐱. Sitting in the courtyard daydreaming with Cheese was pure bliss. 🍂 Nearby Activities ⚠️ The homestay is a 10-minute drive from Longnan East Station but quite far from the city center. Getting around is best suited for self-driving or arranging transfers through the homestay's partnered drivers. ⚠️ Nearby attractions include the famous **Guanxi Roundhouses** and the city center. Both are easy to explore and great for leisurely strolls. The historic **Hakka Ancient Fort** at the homestay's doorstep is also worth a visit. ⚠️ Other attractions further away include **Nanwudang Mountain Scenic Area**, **Yanyi Wei**, and **Yangming Xingu Valley**. **Guanxi Roundhouses** The world's largest Hakka roundhouse complex, holding a Guinness World Record.

Yanyiwei is a typical defensive Hakka walled village, built in 1650 and taking 27 years to complete. The entire building is four stories high, with walls 1.45 meters thick and over 14 meters high, giving it a strong sense of fortress. The interior structure of the walled house is compact, and the walkways and stairs are all made of wood. Although it is very old, it still remains stable. According to local sources, this walled house has never been breached despite many wars in the past, demonstrating its solid structure and ingenious design. #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Yanyiwei is the most awe-inspiring walled village I visited in Longnan. Built during the Qing Shunzhi era, it boasts a history of over 370 years. Its walls reach an impressive height of 14.3 meters, making it one of the tallest known Hakka walled villages. The entire structure is rectangular and consists of four floors, each featuring circular corridors and living spaces. What stands out the most is its defensive design—each corner has a watchtower, the walls are thick, and there are gun holes, clearly indicating its readiness for battle. Currently, the interior is uninhabited, but the overall preservation is excellent, allowing for a complete tour. If you're interested in Hakka architecture and history, it's highly recommended to spend one to two hours exploring this site.

The Hakka Winery, located in Xinli Village, Liren Town, Longnan, Jiangxi Province, is a Hakka walled house built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 200 years. This place is not only a treasure of architecture, but also a place where wine culture is inherited. There were no tourist facilities when we went there, but there were people drying quilts and fish in the house, which gave us a unique feel of life. #AprilGoodDestinations2025

Get away from the city and walk into the walled village. This two-day and one-night trip in [Dalezhiye·Longnan Walled Village] was the most relaxing trip I have had recently. The house is surrounded by mountains and the environment is quiet and pleasant. Drinking tea in the courtyard in the early morning and reading in a cafe in the afternoon, time seems to slow down and even breathing becomes gentler. Here you are not just staying for one night, but living in a lifestyle, a rhythm of coexisting with nature and communicating with history. 📍Address: Guanxi Xinwei, Guanxi Town, Longnan City, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province #AprilGoodDestinations2025

If Xinwei is "strong", then other walled villages in Guanxi are more like "quiet". The layout of each walled house is different. Some are round, and some have multiple entrances and exits, as if they were tailor-made according to the number of people in the tribe and the family structure at the time. They do not exist for taking photos, but carry traces of too many people's lives. This trip to Longnan was not just to see the buildings, but to find a kind of "slowness" that is no longer common, and it happens to be found here. 📍Address: Xinwei Village, Guanxi Town, Longnan City, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province #AprilGoodDestinations2025

The first time I saw Guanxi Xinwei was in the early morning when it was about to rain. The gray-white walls of the courtyard house were stained by water vapor, and the whole building seemed to have grown out of the clouds. It is said that it took 29 years to build. From a high vantage point, it is a standard square with tall watchtowers at the four corners, giving off a silent but firm sense of security. Walking inside, you can feel the sense of "a big family once lived together here" - the long bluestone alley, the incense stand in front of the ancestral hall, and the black marks left in the corner of the kitchen wall. What I like about this place is not its grandeur, but the details inadvertently hidden in this ancient building - the carvings on the window panes, the wear marks on the door sills, and even the sound of dripping tiles make people reluctant to leave. 📍Address: Xinwei Village, Guanxi Town, Longnan City, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province #AprilGoodDestinations2025
