The Resilience of the Hakka People—Dingnan Ancient City.
☀In the mountains of Lingnan, there is a resilient ethnic group—the Hakka people! They have lived here for generations, writing an immortal chapter with their sweat and wisdom. 🙋Did you know? During the Ming Dynasty, to resist bandits, Dingnan County was established here, and a solid city wall was built to protect the peace of this land!
🔥However, in 1927, a sudden fire forced the county seat to relocate. 🍄But admirably, some Hakka people did not give up on this land. They chose to stay and rebuild their homes with their own hands. Thus, today's Dingnan Ancient City was reborn from the ruins!
👭Walking into Dingnan Ancient City is like traveling back to that distant era. The ancient city gates, wells, streets, residences, and the rebuilt county government office all exude a historical charm. 👍The layout of nine streets and five alleys makes you feel like you are in a vivid historical painting.
🌹And when it comes to Hakka cuisine, it is mouthwatering! In the small streets and alleys, countless delicious dishes are hidden, leaving a lasting impression. Every bite is an ultimate temptation for the taste buds, making you want to have another serving!
⛳️This is the Hakka people, as resilient as mountains, writing their own legend with hard work and wisdom. If you also want to experience the weight of history and the charm of culture, come to Dingnan Ancient City for a walk and a look! You will not be disappointed!

The second floor is the Guanyin Pavilion, with the phrase "Steps Reach the Cloudy Pathways" inscribed on the outer eaves, and the third floor is the Wenchang Pavilion, hence the name "Wenge Pavilion", which holds significant historical, artistic, and scientific value.
