Baihou Ancient Town, Meizhou | Four stunning Western-style residences — traveler post in Dabu

Baihou Ancient Town, Meizhou | Four stunning Western-style residences

With the popularity of the show "Love Letter to Grandma," the stories of the Nanyang migration era and the charming architecture of the hometowns of overseas Chinese are gaining more attention. Beyond Chaoshan, Meizhou is actually a famous hometown for overseas Chinese with deep cultural roots. Countless emigrants went to Nanyang to build their fortunes, and upon returning home, they built houses that left behind a large number of distinctive buildings blending Chinese and Western styles, such as those in Baihou Ancient Town in Dabu. The name of Baihou Ancient Town comes from a literary blessing, hoping that the place would produce many talents. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the cultural atmosphere here was prosperous, producing several Hanlin scholars, over 20 Jinshi, and hundreds of Juren, with many stories about the imperial examinations passed down. The long-standing cultural heritage has nurtured clusters of rustic and grand Ming and Qing ancient residences, with various official mansions scattered about, full of ancient charm. In addition to traditional ancient houses, four unique residential buildings in the ancient town that blend Chinese and Western styles are particularly eye-catching. ✅Zhaoqing Hall (ticket required) This is a highly representative local residence. On one side is an authentic Hakka-style walled house, rustic and steady, while right next to it is a two-story Western-style building with a unique design. Nanyang-style glazed blue glass is paired with exquisite Chinese wood-carved caisson ceilings, blending the ancient and the Western, with craftsmanship evident in every detail. Zhaoqing Hall is a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. ✅Haiyuan Building Built during the Republic of China era, the main gate replicates a European church style, elegant and grand, while the roof uses the classic Hakka-style gabled roof, creating a clever collision of styles. Unfortunately, it is currently not open to the public, so you can only admire its exterior. ✅Jingzu Southeast (Yulu) A unique residence built during the Republic of China era, constructed with mixed materials, with a regular and grand layout. The first-floor lintel has exquisite carvings, with the house name elegantly engraved. The second-floor eaves are dynamic, with lifelike gray-sculpted phoenixes, perfectly blending Chinese elegance with Western simplicity. Villagers still live in this building. ✅Qinanxuan Originally built during the Kangxi reign, it was renovated and rebuilt during the Republic of China era. It consists of a Chinese-style main hall and a Western-style building, connected by a long corridor, with smooth, grand arched doorways. Western-style arched windows are paired with traditional Chinese window lattices, creating a harmonious and natural look. The courtyard hides a small bridge and an ancient well, while outside the gate, it is surrounded by clear water ponds, making it quiet and peaceful. 📍Address: Baihou Ancient Town, Dabu County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province 🅿️Navigation: For paid entry, navigate to "Baihou Mingzhen Parking Lot".

Guangdong people must know about this cherry blossom viewing paradise with a guide — traveler post in Dabu

Guangdong people must know about this cherry blossom viewing paradise with a guide

Guangdong folks sure keep secrets! Such a beautiful cherry blossom tea field, and I only just discovered it now 😭 The best part is, this vast flower viewing spot doesn’t charge an entrance fee‼️ Who else feels this joy? Free beautiful scenery is truly irresistible! At a glance, various pink, red, and white flowers compete in beauty. Now we Guangdong people no longer have to envy the cherry blossoms in Dali and Fujian from afar✨ 🌸Best viewing period: Mid-February to early March 📍Address: Yinna Mountain Cherry Blossom Garden, Meixian, Meizhou, Guangdong 🎫Tickets: Free! But you must take the shuttle bus up and down the mountain, 40 RMB/person 🅿️There is a parking lot at the scenic area, 10 RMB per visit 🚅Transportation: From Meizhou West High-Speed Rail Station, take bus No. 96 to Lingguang Temple Scenic Area stop 📸【Photography Tips】 🔹Use backlighting to shoot, letting light filter through the cherry blossoms creating bokeh, instantly enhancing the atmosphere! 🔹Stand in the tea fields with cherry blossoms as the background; every shot is a stunning masterpiece. 🔹Shoot from a low angle or looking up to avoid crowds and capture unique, beautiful scenes. 🟢Photo Spots 🔹Summit Observation Deck: Offers a panoramic view of the cherry blossoms and tea fields, the best spot for wide shots. 🔹Cherry Blossom Tunnel: Walk through the sea of flowers, every snap is beautiful. 🔹Ancient Temple with Falling Blossoms: After descending, visit Lingguang Temple at the foot of the mountain; the temple eaves framed with cherry blossoms create a very Zen vibe. 🔹Tea Garden Cherry Blossoms: The combination of cherry blossoms and green tea fields adds layers and is a highlight here. 📚【Recommended Itinerary】 🔴Day 1: Arrive at Yinna Mountain Cherry Blossom Garden in the morning → stroll through the tea fields in the afternoon → enjoy local cuisine in the evening (recommended dishes: Meixian pickled noodles, Sanjidi soup, Hakka stuffed tofu). 🔴Day 2: Capture sunrise at a Hakka Tulou (Wei Long House) in the morning → visit a Hakka ancient town in the morning → experience intangible cultural heritage in Baihou Ancient Town in the afternoon (such as pottery making, iron flower forging, etc.). 📌【Additional Practical Information】 🔸Nearby attractions recommended: Wuzhishi in Meizhou, Yannanfly Tea Field Scenic Area, Lingguang Temple, etc. 🔸Local specialties recommended: pickled noodles, Sanjidi soup, Hakka stuffed tofu, salt-baked chicken, and more. 💡【Avoid Pitfalls】 ▪️Don’t take the wrong road! The cherry blossom garden is next to Lingguang Temple. If you keep driving up the mountain, you’ll reach a place requiring an additional 50 RMB ticket with very rugged mountain roads, which is not the cherry blossom garden. ▪️Go early! Weekends are crowded; arriving after 9 AM may mean long lines for the shuttle bus or even early closure. For a private experience, arrive before 8 AM. ▪️Bring your own snacks: Besides vending machines at the summit, there are no other shops. Remember to bring water and snacks. ▪️Keep warm: The temperature on the mountain feels cooler than the city. Even in spring, it’s recommended to bring a light jacket or down vest. After enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can visit Lingguang Temple at the foot of the mountain to pray. It’s one of Guangdong’s four famous temples and very popular. Nearby are Yannanfly Tea Fields and Yanyang Lake, which can be included in your itinerary for tea picking and lakeside cycling, making for a very pleasant experience~💕

Hua E Building

Hua'e Tower, located in Lianfeng Village, Dadong Town, Dapu County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, was built by Lin Yuanyu in the 36th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1608). Because its round shape resembles a flower calyx, and also symbolizing the love and harmony between brothers, neighbors, and villagers, it was named "Hua'e Tower" (Flower Calyx Tower).

Tai'an Building

Visit Tai'an Tower [Rose][Rose][Rose] The gate of Tai'an Tower is very unique. At first glance, there is a majestic gate tower in front of you. A closer look reveals that the gate tower is actually embedded in the wall. Tai'an Tower has a long history, a majestic and rugged scale, a reasonable and scientific layout, and rich cultural connotations. It is a great wonder of Hakka residential architecture and a cultural treasure in the history of Chinese and world residential architecture.

Baihou Ancient Town Tourist Area

This is an ancient town in the mountains. The ancestral halls and cottages are well preserved. It is a gathering place for Hakka people with a long history, but it is far from Meizhou after all. I drove there this time, otherwise it would be difficult to make the trip. But it is worth a visit.

Chuxi Tulou cluster

We visited Chuxi Tulou (初溪土楼) on a day trip after exploring Tianluokeng Tulou, and it was a nice experience overall. The traditional Hakka buildings and mountain scenery are beautiful, and the 晒秋 displays are especially attractive for taking photos. However, some areas feel a bit too commercial, which takes away a little from the original village atmosphere. Still, it’s worth visiting if you enjoy photography and want to capture some beautiful traditional Fujian scenery.

Pingshan Terraced Tourist Area

Pingshan Rice Terraces is located in Dadong Town, Dabu County, Meizhou City. It is a tourist attraction that integrates "viewing the terrace scenery, drinking magical spring water, the former residence of General Dan, and visiting characteristic folk houses". The natural ecology of Pingshan Terraced Fields is beautiful, and it enjoys the reputation of "Hakka Divine Field" because of its original shape and beautiful lines of thousands of acres of terraced fields built in the late Yuan Dynasty. The landscape here is different throughout the year. March to April is the season when rapeseed flowers are in full bloom; from May to June, the fields are full of water; from July to August, the rice grows and the green brocade is cascading; in October, the rice matures and the golden waves of wheat float. Rolling between the valleys, it’s such a beautiful scene of nature.

Yearning Tea Plantation Tourist Attraction

A gentle breeze sweeps across the tea fields, turning the mountains green, filling the air with the delicate fragrance of tea. Walking up the stone steps towards the tea plantation, even worries seem to melt away in the breeze. Sitting down for a cup of freshly brewed Hakka tea, I steal a moment of tranquil mountain peace. Green mountains surround the tea fields, and even the clouds seem to slow their pace here.

Fujian Tulou Yongding Scenic Area

These are very distinctive Hakka residences, quite large. Historically, they were large, round or square earthen buildings where Hakka people, migrating from the north, lived together as family units. They are architecturally unique, taking into account functions such as water access and defense, and represent traditional architectural culture. Worth seeing.

Yunshuiyao Ancient Town

Surrounded by green mountains, the Changjiao River flows through the village. The ancient earthen buildings and towering banyan trees are full of charm. Away from the hustle and bustle, stroll along the ancient paths and immerse yourself in the leisurely years of an ancient Minnan village.

Tianluokeng Tulou Cluster

Four dishes and one soup, truly living up to the name. From above, it looks like a standard four dishes and one soup; but on site, each dish is unique and wonderful, with round, square, and oval shapes, organically combining different styles, fully demonstrating the superb wisdom of people in the past.
