• A century-old, well-preserved Hakka ancient town that's a great place to experience farming, take a leisurely stroll, and enjoy Hakka cuisine.

Attraction Introduction

Gankeng Hakka Town is located in Gankeng Community, Buji Subdistrict, Longgang District. Gankeng Village is a village with a long history, where Hakka people first settled over 350 years ago. It is now planned and developed by Peking University Research Institute as an ancient village characterized by Hakka culture, integrating farming experiences and a water town ambiance. During the 2014 Cultural Industries Fair, it served as the main venue and comprehensively showcased Hakka culture.

The scenic area is mainly divided into two parts: Hakka Town and Ecological Park. Hakka Town features ancient buildings, watchtowers, shops and restaurants converted from residential houses, as well as distinctive stilted houses by the lake. The most noteworthy sights are the 200-year-old Scholar’s Mansion and the exquisitely decorated Nanxiang Building with ornate beams and painted pillars.

The Ecological Park grows a variety of pollution-free fruits and vegetables and raises many poultry. Visitors can not only enjoy the pristine rural scenery but also pick produce themselves, which is a lot of fun.

Enjoying Hakka cuisine and snacks from various regions is another highlight of the scenic area. Salt-baked chicken and Hakka basin meals are representative Hakka dishes, made even more delicious with fresh ingredients—be sure to give them a try.
