Yanyiwei-a refuge in troubled times

Yanyiwei is located in Yangcun Town, Longnan City, Ganzhou City. It was first built in the third year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty and completed in the seventh year of Daoguang. It is the largest, best-preserved, most functional and representative dwelling among the Hakka enclosed houses in southern Jiangxi. It integrates residences, ancestral halls, castles, and academies, and can also be used as a fortified city during times of war. A half-moon pool was dug directly in front of the gate, symbolizing wealth gathering. The Half-Moon Pond is connected to the pond outside the east wall, forming a water barrier, which is also conducive to the military defense of the new wall. Climbing up the stairs, I saw compartments that looked like single dormitories, with thin partitions and no privacy for the people living there. I realized how difficult it was for the Hakkas back then. There are shooting holes all over the enclosed house. I am lucky to be born in peaceful times. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, society completely collapsed. Everything was a last resort! Yanyiwei is accompanied by Taiping Bridge, and Yangcun Town has two national security guards, which is really enviable Dinner was at the "Lao San Yang" restaurant near the hotel. The various beef dishes were really good👍
