Don't stay home during summer vacation, I highly recommend visiting Meizhou

Meizhou, the poetic home of the Hakka people, truly captured my heart at first sight🌿 As the world’s Hakka capital, it not only boasts a rich Hakka cultural heritage but also offers the most healing rural slow life. Spend 3 days exploring this charming small city that makes you want to settle down～ 🏡【3-Day Slow Travel Itinerary】 Day 1: Impression of the Hakka Capital - Morning: China Hakka Museum (Free! 9:00-17:00) → Dongshan Academy - Afternoon: Hakka Wei Long Houses cluster (Recommended: Qiaoxiang Village’s Nanhua Youlu) - Evening: Ketiantian Night View (super romantic lighting) Tips: Be sure to hire a guide for the Wei Long Houses, or you won’t understand the architectural wisdom! Day 2: Mountain and Water Journey - Yannanfei Tea Fields (suggest taking the electric cart) → Qiaoxi Ancient Charm - Afternoon: Lingguang Temple (see the wonder of the Tree of Life and Death) - Evening: Watch the sunset at Qianfo Pagoda Foodie tip: The bamboo shoot stew with pork at Qiaoxi farmhouse is amazing!
