Meizhou Travel: Underrated Hakka Culture & Ancient Towns in Guangdong

This 4th tier city in Guangdong has some of the richest Hakka culture in all of China — yet almost no travelers come here. While everyone flocks to Beijing, Shanghai, or Shenzhen, Meizhou gets ignored. But we found ancient towns, Hakka tulou, hidden temples, and traditions you won’t see anywhere else. Is Meizhou too “local” for tourists? Too far off the beaten path? Or is it simply one of the last authentic parts of China that hasn’t been overrun by mass tourism? We spent 4 days here to find out.
