Hakka Wine Castle

　　   The scenic area is situated within Guanxi Town, Longnan County, approximately 25 kilometers from the county seat. It was first settled in the early Southern Song Dynasty when the founding ancestor, Xu Youweng, led his descendants on a journey from Taihe, Jiangxi, eventually settling in Guanxi. The area has a history of nearly a thousand years. The ancient village lies nestled in a small basin between the mountains of Guanxi Cave, with the nine-bend Guanxi River flowing from north to south through the center. To the east stand verdant peaks, to the west an ancient pagoda offers protection, to the south rises Dongshan, while to the north flows the Guan River — all embraced by hills and waters in a naturally stunning landscape covering about 3 square kilometers. The village preserves well-maintained structures such as Guanxi Xinwei, Xichang Wei, Penggao Wei, Fuhe Wei, Zhenxia Wei, and Tianxin Wei. These architectural gems are clustered together like stars surrounding the moon, each with its own unique features. It forms a well-preserved ancient residential architectural complex from the Ming and Qing dynasties that showcases the various styles and characteristics of enclosed dwellings (weiwu) built across southern Jiangxi throughout different historical periods.

　　   The centerpiece of the scenic area, Guanxi Xinwei (Guanxi New Enclosure), is the largest, most intact, and best-preserved square-style Hakka residence discovered in China. Known among the Hakka people as a "nine-hall, eighteen-room" palace-like structure, it has been hailed as the “Ancient Roman Castle of the East,” the “Living Fossil of Han and Jin-Era Tung Forts,” and the “Folk Palace Scattered Among the People.”

　　   The scenic area features a variety of architectural sights including Guanxi Xinwei, Xichang Wei, Penggao Wei, Tianxin Wei, and Fuhe Wei, as well as over 20 other attractions such as Guanxi Pagoda, beacon towers, Yi Garden, Hundred Fruit Orchard, and the Hakka Museum. It is the most representative cultural tourism destination embodying the authentic Hakka spirit.
