Kunshing Walled Village, also known as Kunshing Wei, is shaped like a half-moon with seven courtyards, three sky streets, three main halls, four horizontal buildings, and seven doors on the front, covering nearly 3,000 square meters. In the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Denglin, the 33rd generation of the Yang family, moved from Meixian County in Meizhou to Libu to establish his home. Initially making a living by collecting firewood, he later sold rice and pork, opening the Kunshing shop. Through hard work and frugality, he began to acquire property. His descendants continued the family business, amassed wealth, and acquired a thousand acres of farmland. The construction of the walled village began during the generation with names containing the characters "Zi" and "Ying," and took over 140 years across seven generations to complete this massive project. The main building has five doors, with the middle one serving as the main entrance. Inside the main entrance are the entrance hall, courtyard, and ancestral hall, forming the center of the walled village. Corridors on both sides lead to the wing rooms. The horizontal buildings on the far left and right extend beyond the main gate, with a long rectangular courtyard in the middle where pig and cattle pens, washing areas, and toilets are concentrated. The protruding section of the right horizontal building served as a study and school. Between the semicircular rear section and the main building is a small arc-shaped open area. Nine groups of buildings are constructed along the arc, with each group consisting of three long rooms. Watchtowers are located at both ends and in the middle. These watchtowers extend beyond the outer wall and are three stories high. The walled village contains more than ten halls, seventy rooms, multiple bathrooms, seven pig and cattle pens, thirteen toilets, one rice-pounding room, totaling 108 rooms. Kunshing Walled Village is the largest residential complex in the Dongguan water basin area and the largest existing half-moon shaped Hakka walled village in the county. With its ingenious design and massive scale, the construction spanning nearly one and a half centuries is truly a surviving wonder. It is a key cultural relic site in Lianzhou City.

Qingyuan is a famous mountainous area in Guangdong. Every weekend, many hiking enthusiasts come here to challenge the many mountain peaks. Molugong is one of them, with the most beautiful mountain ridge. A thousand words are not worth the experience of going there yourself. The pain of climbing 500m uphill is unbearable, and you really want to give up. But then you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Standing on the 900m mountain ridge and overlooking the entire valley, the previous pain is really not worth mentioning!

📍Ancient Trail Coordinates: Shuikou Town, Yangshan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province 🏞️Ancient Trail Introduction: Yangshan Qin and Han Ancient Road, an ancient road carrying thousands of years of history, is hidden in the karst mountains where few people go. This was the only way for merchants to carry out trade during the Qin and Han dynasties, and it witnessed the integration of the economy and culture of Lingnan and the Central Plains. Today, this ancient trail has become a paradise for hiking enthusiasts, allowing people to feel the weight of history and the magnificence of nature while walking. Hiking experience: I chose the big loop for hiking, which is about 15 kilometers long. Although the stone road along the way is a bit steep, it is not difficult to walk with the help of trekking poles. On both sides of the ancient road, the ancient stone gates, stone forests, thousand-year-old camphor trees and other scenery complement each other, making people feel as if they have traveled back to that prosperous commercial era. 📸Photography: There are scenic spots everywhere along the ancient road, whether it is the towering stone gate, the peculiar stone forest, or the ancient camphor tree that has stood for thousands of years, they are all excellent backgrounds for taking photos. I brought a camera with me to record this rare history and natural beauty. 🍽️Food supplement: During hiking, energy consumption is high. Fortunately, there is a restaurant near the starting point of the ancient trail that serves authentic farm dishes. I tasted the local specialties, which were delicious and gave me enough energy for the upcoming hiking trip. 💡Tips: 1. It is recommended to wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring trekking poles to reduce the burden on the knees. 2. There are signposts along the ancient trail, but there are many forks in the road. It is recommended to plan the route in advance to avoid getting lost. 3. Pay attention to sun protection and hydration. There is no shade on the ancient trail, and it is easy to sweat during hiking. 4. Respect local culture and customs, and do not destroy the natural environment and historical relics of the ancient trail. #Mainland Travel

⛰️ When it comes to karst topography, most people think of Guangxi and Guizhou, but Guangdong is also a region where karst landforms are distributed. In the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, various caves and peak clusters abound. 🏔️ This time, I chose to hike Mount Moliugong. The trail is clear and not too difficult.

My child loves the cheese sausage and tomato pasta, which is a large portion and cheap, only CNY 15 per serving. There is also a large snack platter for only CNY 28. I like coffee, and the CNY 16 espresso even has latte art. It is a surprise to find such a good restaurant in a small county! The restaurant also has a children's rest area. The hostess is very warm and friendly and gave us a detailed introduction to nearby attractions. The hotel is on the third floor and above. There are not many rooms, about 20. I stayed in a king room, which was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a latex pillow and a desk. I could bring my child to do homework. The room rate was CNY 158, and the hostess even gave us two free breakfasts. It was a great deal, haha. There is a large vegetable market not far from the hotel. If you like going to the market, you can come here. The market is opposite the river, which is a good place to take photos. After dinner, you can also go to Bajie Mountain. The early winter in Yangshan is beautiful with high skies and light clouds!

On Saturday, I went hiking on the Niuhu Line in Yangshan, Qingyuan. It was amazing! 👣 We gathered and set off at around 7 am. On the bus, everyone introduced themselves, and those with talents even performed. We laughed and chatted all the way. We arrived at the starting point of the hike in Niubi Village at 11 am. We explored the cave to warm up, and then set foot on the ancient bluestone road from hundreds of years ago, as if we could touch history. At noon, we found a beautiful place to eat dry food. We shared food during the break, and of course, we took all the garbage with us to protect the environment. We arrived at the Tiankeng at 2 pm. The scenery was so spectacular that we quickly took photos. Then we passed through abandoned villages and grass, as if we had entered a paradise. We arrived at the grassland in Hudong Village at 4 pm, and explored the cave again. The karst cave in the dark was magnificent. We got on the bus and returned at 6 pm, and ate fast food at the highway service area. We returned to Zengcheng at around 9:30 pm. Along the way, we saw the karst peak forest, the super-large Tiankeng, and the stone forest canyon grassland scenery. It was a great day! Highly recommended for outdoor enthusiasts aged 15–60.

Qingyuan Qin and Han Ancient Road Experience I visited the Qin and Han Ancient Road in Yangshan County, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province. This is an ancient road with a long history, witnessing the economic and cultural exchanges between Lingnan and the Central Plains. When I stepped on the ancient road, I found it was very quiet and rarely visited. Along the way, the scenery of Yangshan Peak Forest, ancient plank roads, towering trees, stone forests, ancient villages, and ancient sites complement each other, forming beautiful pictures. The integration of these natural and cultural landscapes makes people feel as if they have traveled back to that ancient era. Walking on the stone road, feeling the vicissitudes and tranquility of the ancient road, my mood also became calm and relaxed. This is indeed a good place to heal the body and mind, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, leaving only inner peace and satisfaction. This visit to the Qin and Han Ancient Road made me deeply feel the weight of history and the magnificence of nature. I believe that this ancient road will continue to carry its unique stories and legends, attracting more people to explore and savor.

Embarking on a hiking journey to Mo Liugong Peak is a magnificent adventure that challenges oneself and embraces nature. The mountain path winds through lush greenery, and as the altitude gradually increases, the scenery becomes more and more spectacular. Along the way, you can admire the undulating mountains, resembling exquisite ink paintings, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. Upon reaching the summit, the view opens up, with a sea of clouds rolling beneath, as if you are in a fairyland. Standing at the top, overlooking the world below, you are left with a sense of peace and fulfillment, finding yourself in the journey, and gaining a rare persistence and courage.
