General presentation
Meizhou et pays hakka
Collective houses, hills and hakka traditions give to the northeast of Guangdong a very marked cultural identity.
Weilong House of Chengde, Former Ye Jianying Residence and Covered Bridge of Songkou give the most telling landmarks of Meizhou and Hakka country. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
