Tuocheng

To visit the Tuocheng scenic area, it is closest to get off at Longchuan West Station (high-speed rail station), which is less than 3 kilometers away from Tuocheng. There is also a bus service from the West Station, but the frequency is low. Tuocheng, also known as Longchuan City, was established as a county in 214 BC, with Zhao Tuo (later the King of Nanyue) as its first county magistrate, hence it was later named Tuocheng. Tuocheng is a world-famous Hakka ancient town and a renowned city of Lingnan culture. Despite the vicissitudes of a thousand years, the ancient city's relics are well preserved. The ancient city walls, Zhao Tuo's former residence, the King of Yue Temple, the King of Yue Well, the City God Temple, the Academy, the Examination Hall, the Chamber of Commerce, and the theater, among others, all have many stories to tell. Tuocheng is worth a half-day stay.
