【大美广东】Enjoy the spring scenery in ancient Qiaoxiang village

大美岭南 | 梅州侨乡村：百年倏忽 庭花烂熳

#TheGreatBeautyofGuangdong Qiaoxiang village, Nankou Town, and Mei County of Meizhou, Guangdong is a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese. From here emerge a group of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs of modern China including Pan Lizhai, Pan Xiangchu, Pan Junmian, etc. With love for their homeland, they came back to help construct Hakka Houses which gradually evolved into the magnificent Hakka architecture complex we see today in Qiaoxiang Village. Qiaoxiang Village, naturally, has become a natural museum for Hakka ancient folk houses and is reputed to be the very ancient village with the most typical Hakka round houses.

Late spring is the best time for you to visit Qiaoxiang Village where you can savor the peaceful country scenery and special customs. You are free to stroll through the village where there are winding rivers, lush trees and grass, and fine rain. Entering the houses, you can make dumplings for the Qingming Festival with hospitable Hakka people.

广东梅州梅县区南口镇侨乡村是著名的华侨之乡，这里走出了潘立斋、潘祥初、潘君勉等一批近代知名华侨企业家。这些华侨又带着炽热的爱国怀乡之心回来建起大屋，侨乡村便形成了蔚为壮观的客家建筑群落，是客家古民居建筑的天然博物馆，享有"中国最典型的客家围屋古村落"之美誉。

暮春时节，侨乡村绿意正浓，沿着蜿蜒小河漫步，淅沥细雨夹杂制作清明粄的青草清香，氤氲雨意湿了游人衣，勾起游子思乡意。
