The small town of Longnan in Jiangxi, which has set Guinness World Records

Longnan, located at the southernmost point of Jiangxi Province in China, is a frontier town that has set three Guinness World Records. This city is famous for having the most, largest, and highest wonders in the world, and is known as the center of Chinese culture fusion. In Longnan, there is the world's largest square cultural relic - Guanxi Weilou. This Weilou took 29 years to build, has a total of 282 rooms, with turret at each corner, a narrow entrance, and the rear wall is up to eight meters wide. This grand building, which looks like a folk palace, hides the unity of the Xu family's 7426 square meters. They made every effort and invested millions of silver dollars just to build this family shelter. In addition, Longnan also has the world's tallest curtain, Nie Yiwei, which is 14.3 meters high and has a history of more than 340 years. In a peaceful environment, its unique red lanterns and wooden doors show the Hakka style. Some people describe Longnan as an ancient Roman castle in the East. In this small town, 376 Weilou have gathered hundreds of different architectural forms from all over the world. These Weilou have witnessed the glorious history of generations of Longnan people and inherited their unique cultural heritage. In the remote mountain villages of Longnan, traditional white-walled and black-tiled buildings are more like Siheyuan in Huizhou architecture. The eaves gather the old well shrine, showing traces of previous life. The residents used their own hands to build beautiful homes, gather different properties, and live together. And these Weilou, whether standing in the mountains or winding along the stream, converge into a harmonious courtyard. The countless flying eaves of the courtyard seem to point to the boundless sky, symbolizing the ambition of the people of Longnan and moving forward. Longnan, this charming city, is both a blend of history and modernity, and a symbol of Chinese national unity. The Weilou here not only show the architectural styles of the world, but also condense the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people. They are the pride of the people of Longnan and the precious cultural heritage of our country. As time goes by, the Weilou of Longnan will continue to attract the attention of the world with its unique charm and become a treasure of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.
