Things to do in Meizhou

松口古镇坐落于广东省梅州市梅县区东北部，地处梅江下游，依山傍水，自古便是粤东地区的交通枢纽与商贸中心。自秦汉时期开埠，松口历经千年沧桑，素有“南洋第一古镇”之称。历史上，这里是客家人下南洋的重要出发港，无数青壮年从松口乘船远渡重洋，形成了庞大的侨乡网络，至今仍保留着浓郁的客家文化与华侨风情。

The China Hakka Museum is one of the main must-see attractions in Meizhou, a great place to learn about Hakka culture. It's easily accessible by several bus lines. The museum is quite large and provides a detailed overview of the history and development of Hakka culture. For first-time visitors to Meizhou, it's a must-visit. Admission is free; you can book a visit on-site. There's also a café inside.

The old street is quite nice to stroll around, with plenty of food and drinks. Especially at night, it's packed with people and cars. It's not a pedestrian street, so be careful of oncoming traffic. Lingfeng Road, Zhongshan Road, and Youluo Street are all located here. You can come at night to eat and shop at the same time. However, many shops close early, so remember to come early. Many small restaurants are very affordable!

When traveling to Meizhou, I came to the Thousand Buddha Pagoda Temple, one of the main attractions in Meizhou. It is located on the top of Dadongyan Mountain in the eastern suburbs. It is a female temple developed from the Thousand Buddha Iron Pagoda, a cultural relic of the Southern Han Dynasty. After arriving, keep walking inside. You need to walk a little up the mountain to reach the pagoda. Inside the pagoda is the iron pagoda. The iron pagoda is divided into seven floors and is square. There are 250 large and small Buddha statues cast on each side, and a total of 1,000 Buddhas on the four sides. The pagoda outside was built in 1991. The tower is 9 stories high and octagonal.

Pan Liaoquan, the founder of the temple, once sat on a stone and left a poem. In front of the gate, there are trees of life and death, one withering and the other flourishing. Behind the temple, there are mountains, one after another. In the deep mountains, the climate is a bit cold, and there are not many pilgrims, which is a unique interest.

The Ye Jianying Memorial Park was established on the basis of Ye Jianying's former residence and the Ye Jianying Memorial Hall. The memorial park takes the display of the great man's style and Hakka culture as the main line, and is based on the national key cultural relics protection unit and patriotism education base. It plans to construct four functional areas: humanistic residence, memorial scenic area, tourism and leisure service area and ecological forest area.

The Pankeng Tourist Scenic Area, which I visited on my last trip to Meizhou, is located in Sanjiao Town, the southern suburb of Meicheng. It is a holiday leisure and tourism destination. The scenic area is large, the air is fresh, and it contains rich natural and cultural landscapes. Visitors can climb high to exercise and enjoy the beautiful forest scenery, and plant trees while enjoying the scenery. The streams in the valley are clear and the scenery is quiet. In addition, the scenic area also plans to build a new "Hakka Folk Village" with Hakka dragon houses as the main body and a comprehensive "Water Park" and other attractions. The transportation is convenient and it is worth a visit.

The scenery of Marshal Ye's former residence is nice. It is a typical Hakka walled house in the Ye Jianying Memorial Park. It is clean and tidy. It is a free attraction with a very high cost-effectiveness. You can receive the baptism of red and learn about relevant historical knowledge.

It was my first time to visit "Kedu Renjia". It was so amazing, a tourist attraction. The whole street was neat and tidy, and the ground was clean and sanitary. The night view was beautiful, and there were many performances in the block: !Hydrangea Marriage, Hometown Interactive Show, Happy Parade, Divine Calculator, etc. I also went to a "Xunlujian B&B" by chance. The room was clean and tidy, and it made people feel the warmth of "home".

Enjoy an exclusive outdoor hot spring and a Japanese Zen-style courtyard. As soon as I posted the photos, my friends kept asking if I'd secretly gone abroad again... (Detailed travel guide included) ▌Environment: Kyoto meets Bali right outside the door. The entire resort cleverly blends Japanese and European styles, and the courtyard design is full of Kyoto charm. When the lights are on at night, it feels like stepping into a movie set. 📸Must-photo spots: The bamboo path by the hot spring pool, the European-style arcade, and the tatami coffee break area. ▌Room: Private hot spring access, stargazing. This time, I stayed in a "Lakeside Villa" with its own private hot spring pool, accessible 24/7 with adjustable water temperature. Counting the stars while soaking in the hot springs at night is an instant soothing experience! 💡Remember to bring aromatherapy and bath bombs to enhance the ambiance. ▌Dining: A surprise treat! Breakfast is a semi-buffet buffet. I highly recommend the freshly made eggs Benedict and Japanese set meals. For dinner, I tried the green bean hot pot; the broth was so delicious I couldn't resist three bowls! Surroundings: A blend of tranquility and art. The hotel is adjacent to the Wenyu River, perfect for morning walks and bike rides. Song Art Museum is just a 20-minute drive away, perfect for art lovers! If you're looking for a quick getaway from Beijing, Chunhui Garden is a must-see! Location: Yuzhuang, Gaoliying Town, Shunyi District (directly navigate to "Chunhui Garden Hot Spring Resort")
