    Dafudi Horn House image
    Dafudi Horn House located in Fuliang village, It is the only horn-shaped Hakka Dragon House in the world. Very good for those who love Photography, nature, and architectures. Really worth to visit during your trip to Meizhou. You will awesome for its Hakka "authentic" Architectures, scenary, paddy fields in the village. For convenience, you can rent a car or taxi from city, its around 15-20 minutes drive. For cheaper option you can take a bus and stop in Xiyang, but you need to walk around 30 minutes inside the village. Dont forget to visit Lianfang building, it is also famous for its western-hakka architectures. You can see it in the middle of your way from xiyang to Dafudi Horn House in Fuliang Village. See more..
  3. 5.0 Nanhua YouLu Pan Ancestral House (1 review)
    - Interesting Square-Shaped Weiwu
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Architectural Buildings
    There are still villagers living in Nanhua You Lu, which makes for an interesting visit. Nanhua You Lu is probably not the most well-preserved weiwu in the Nankou Village but it is certainly one of the oldest. ¥5 gets you into the weiwu, which is a little run-down but thoroughly fascinating. If you speak Chinese, be sure to locate the owner who is always happy to share more about the history of the Nanhua You Lu. To get here, take bus number 9 from the city center (your hotel can point you in the right direction). The ride only took 30 minutes. Tell the driver you want to get off at Nankou. Villagers on motorbikes hang around the bus stop and will bring tourists to Nankou (about 1km by foot) for ¥10/ride. Give yourself time to also explore the Nankou Village, which is filled with interesting weiwus, including horse-shoe shaped ones. Take the winding main village road which leads deeper into the farm fields. Note: The photo Tripadvisor has uploaded to this attraction is wrong. Nanhua YouLu is a traditional Hakka-style building laid out in a square shape. See more..

    - The only western "footprint" in the village
    Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Architectural Buildings
    Lianfang Building of Baigong image
    Very interesting to visit here, I already been there for 2 times and never get bored to visit this Hakka village. This building is a western-hakka architectures different among others building in the village. Don't forget to visit Dafudi Horn House which located in the same area. It is the only Hakka horn shape house in the world, but need to walk around 500 metres inside the village. Really like this "Hakka authentic village". Its kindness, nature, culture were really so great. Don't forget to have an interaction with the local also, that was really impressive.. See more..
  5. 4.5 Yinna Mountain (3 reviews)
    - 农家菜好吃
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Mountains
    Yinna Mountain image
    阴那山,很奇怪的名字,山本身也很特别,山路特别的弯曲,登上主峰要花费一定的时间,有几千级的石阶梯,全程不休息登上去有点难度。空气挺不错的,山上有寺庙,叫灵光寺,是唐朝的高僧修行过的地方。在这里吃到了梅州当地出名的农家菜,梅菜扣肉、豆腐酿,味道很正宗。 See more..
  6. 4.5 Qiaoxiang Village Weilong House (2 reviews)
    - Great for Horseshoe-Shaped and Square-Style Weiwus
    Architectural Buildings
    Our biggest challenge in Meizhou was not being able to hire a driver or rent a car so we had to rely on public transportation to get around. Because Nanhua You Lu was the only weiwu recommended by the guidebook that was easily accessible by public bus, we decided to head to Nankou Village, where the You Lu is located. We were delighted to find out that the small village also houses a good number of traditional horseshoe-shaped (known as Weilong Wus) and square-style weiwus. A villager recommended that we spend the day wandering down the main village road (this is the road that leads in from the highway and overlooks the farm fields), which passes by most of these weiwus. Apart from Nanhua You Lu, the other weiwus in this area are free to enter. Some are still inhabited so just wander in, look for the owner and ask politely if you can enter for a quick look. Most of the villagers are very friendly, especially if you're a foreigner, and will invite you in for tea and snacks. Note: We were fortunate to visit over during Chinese New Year, when most of the villagers return home from other towns to celebrate with their family so many invited us into their homes for a tour. We were even invited to dine with a family at their annual Chinese New Year feast, which featured some of the best Hakka food we've had. To get to Nankou, take bus number 9 from the city center (your hotel can point you in the right direction). The ride only took 30 minutes. Tell the driver you want to get off at Nankou. Villagers on motorbikes hang around the bus stop and will bring tourists to Nankou (about 1km by foot) for ¥10/ride. See more..

    - A great man

    Meizhou Ye Jianying Memorial image
    Frankly, before my visit, I did not know this man. After the visit I realize that this is one of the man that made the China today. He had led an illustrious career throughout his life, but the greatest thing that he did was to resurrect Deng Xiao Ping and defeat the Gang of Four to bring China out of the disastrous Cultural Revolution. A great man that has improved the lives of more than a billion people. See more..

  12. 4.0 Meixian Museum (1 review)
    - 一般般的博物馆
    Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
    一般般的博物馆,是在以前梅县的图书馆改建过来的,面积不是很大,展览品也不算很多,是不收取门票费的,里面就些字画、玉器花瓶类的,绝大部分都是复制品。看馆的人只有一两个,游客很少,显得博物馆更加冷清了。 See more..

    Wuzhifeng Astronomical Park image
    五指峰天文科普园是包含在阴那山旅游景区内的,就在阴那山半山腰,没有单独的门票。由天文台、演播厅、天文景观等组成。比较值得观看的是室外的那些浮雕雕刻群,体现了生命的原始进化过程。在这里体验天文景象挺不错的,高度绝对够了。 See more..
