At the entrance of the Ji’an Museum, I considered for a long time where to go next, and finally arrived in Ganzhou after more than 200 kilometers. Here’s what I think: it’s raining for a week, and I can’t go to Jinggangshan, but the Hakka culture in Ganzhou is the original plan for this time, and I always go there. Even if it rains, it’s not a big problem to sit and eat in the small streets and alleys .
The hotel is very close to the old street Zaoer Lane. Maybe it’s an old urban area, and the house feels old. This is true for Fuzhou, Ji’an, and even Nanchang. Not only Jiangxi, but also other provinces.
Before the night falls completely, go to see the old street. Zaoer Lane should be an old street, and the folk houses are indeed very regional. The Jiangxi-style buildings are built with blue bricks and black tiles, and the storey height is higher than that of Jiangnan folk houses. There are stone couplets carved on the gate. Open some small square holes on the gable wall to make windows. Many houses were empty and dark, and some doors were sealed with wooden strips, which seemed to be demolished, and there were some demolition propaganda banners.
The slogan on the wall of the relocation office. Hey, there should be more old things from the streets and alleys in the museum.

The hotel facilities are average and lackluster. I mainly like that it is very close to the old street Zaoer Lane, only 200 meters away; it is also within walking distance from the ancient city wall, pontoon bridge and other attractions. In addition, there is the hotel’s own parking lot, and the old man at the entrance is very tight, so foreign vehicles can’t get in. This is very important to me.

For breakfast at a small roadside shop, a soy milk, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of mixed noodles are only 7.5 yuan in total.
Walk for 10 minutes and come to the ancient city wall beside the Gong River. It is estimated that there is only a section of the city wall along the river. Visually, it should be one or two kilometers away. It should also have flood control functions, similar to Linhai. Outside Jianchun Gate, the gate tower, there is a pontoon bridge on the Gongjiang River leading to the other side of the river. The wooden boats are lined up with planks on top so that people can walk across the river directly. It is said that the floating bridge has been used for 800 years. It seems that the river is not navigable.

The old pontoon bridge is still in use today.
Twins are always the center of people’s favor
Eat a bowl of beef rice noodles. Ask the store owner, there are Hakka enclosures in Longnan County and Quannan County, which one do you recommend. The boss replied Longnan without thinking.
The climate in Jiangxi is humid and hot, and it rained heavily yesterday. Walking on the street, the scent of jasmine flowers faintly wafts in the dense air, which is very pleasant. The city is very old, as if traveling to the memory of 30 years ago. But there are many old houses to be demolished. Check the map, it is more than 1,000 kilometers away from home. If it is not for driving, there will be no intersection between this place and my world.

Yugutai means a platform on a lush and lonely mountain. It is considered a famous platform in the south of the Yangtze River and a serious scenic spot. Both Xin Qiji and Lao Jiang wrote poems on stage. Tickets are 20, which is not cost-effective.
Walking to Bajingtai is also a scenic spot, and the ticket is 30. It is just a pavilion. The eight sceneries that the ancients could see when they stepped on the stage are now nothing but people. There is a section of the city wall under the Bajingtai, which is similar to the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, which is a bit interesting. Go shopping soon.
Set off to Longnan to see Hakka enclosures. More than 100 kilometers, I should hurry back tonight, there should be time.
G45 was heavily blocked, but fortunately, it was blocked for about 15 minutes, and the road was smooth. When I got off the highway, there was a section of the road that was so bad that it could not be counted as a road. I once wondered if the navigation was wrong. There is a section of mud pit that seems to be very deep. If you sink in, you will be in big trouble. Fall back and let the 4WD behind go. Watching him pass easily, it doesn’t seem to be very difficult. Taking the risk of dipping into a mud puddle, it seems to have wiped the bottom, but it passed. This car is really durable. There are more than ten kilometers of mountain roads. It turns out that this enclosed house is in the deep mountains and old forests, which is different from the mature scenic spots imagined. Navigating directly to points of interest is often problematic. My experience is, search for attractions on Dianping.com, and then use the mobile phone map when navigating, and it’s done.
Longnan is located in Jiangxi, at the junction of Guangdong and Hunan. The enclosure is indeed magnificent, and it is a wonderful flower of human architecture. 300 kilometers back and forth is worth it. It seems that the quality of the scenery is directly proportional to the difficulty of the road. The weather is a miracle, and luck is super good for this trip. The weather forecast for Jiangxi is that it will rain throughout the week. There should be a high probability of thunderstorms at this moment, but the sun is still out in front of us. The walls of the enclosure are very high, at least 6 stories high by visual inspection, a castle in a square shape, and it is difficult to break into it from the outside. After entering, it feels like the whole village has moved into the enclosure. There are pools, ancestral halls, a meeting hall, and a stage inside. Lots of rooms, warehouses, and blockhouses. The layout is regular and the functions are complete. Since I have to rush back to Ganzhou at night, I can only touch the surface of the water and take a look at it. If you have time, you should stay and taste carefully and understand. Maybe it’s off-season, or maybe it’s 5pm. I was the only visitor in the entire enclosure. There are still villagers living in the room, but almost ten rooms are empty, only the elderly and children are left, and the young people have all gone out. The transportation here is inconvenient, and the standard of living should be relatively low. The old lady set up a stall in front of her house, she was a bit lonely, and bought her a few glutinous rice cakes and fried pancakes. Glutinous rice cakes are similar to Qingtuan, solid, without filling, it is really not tasty. When visiting the wing room of Mr. Xu, I met a woman in her 40s who suddenly walked out of the room. She was stunned when she saw me. I quickly said hello and said to visit. She should have seen a lot of tourists, so let’s see with a smile. She chatted with me for a while while doing laundry. You could tell my intrusion didn’t bother her too much. I said that your ancestors were very powerful and built such enclosures. She said that the old ancestors were powerful, but they were useless in their generation, and they were dead. She should be very willing to talk to me. It’s just that I really can’t delay too long, there are still 2 hours for the return journey. I have no choice but to say goodbye. The Hakka Enclosed House is worth seeing, and I will come again if I have a chance in the future. This was a highlight of the trip.

The navigation led me to this place. I wonder if I can see the enclosure when I go up the mountain.
When you go up the mountain, the sauce is purple. No enclosure. Navigation is wrong.
Open Dianping.com, search for scenic spots, and then select the mobile phone map navigation, and it’s done. The difference was one hundred and eighty meters, and this time it was right.
This is not a round house, it’s just a prelude.
The surrounding area has become a scenic spot
Hakka cottages
Here comes the main character: the Hakka enclosure. The whole enclosure is a village, which is very spectacular.
A bird’s nest was built on the roof, and the swallows flew around.
I don’t know if the villagers’ homes are considered as sneak shots, they should not be counted, they are all scenic spots.

This place is called the gun tower, but I didn’t see the gun.
Goodbye, Hakka Enclosed House, I will come again when I have a chance.
