Sanliao Fengshui Culture Scenic Area

　　Situated in Meijiao Town, Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, the Sanliao Fengshui Culture Scenic Area is located at the border of Xingguo, Ningdu, and Yudu counties. It is 64 kilometers from the county town, 150 kilometers from both Ganzhou Huangjin Airport and Jinggangshan Airport, and 67 kilometers from Xingguo Railway Station on the Beijing-Kowloon Railway. The scenic area is close to National Highway 319 and situated near the Quanzhou–Nanning Expressway, with its eastern exit in Xingguo just 13 kilometers away, ensuring convenient transportation.

　　Renowned for its unique fengshui culture, Sanliao Village has been honored by the global metaphysics community as the “No. 1 Fengshui Village of China” and the “Birthplace of Chinese Fengshui Culture.” Yang Yunsong (also known as Yang Yi or Jiupin), the progenitor of fengshui, along with his disciples Zeng Wenyan and Liao Jinjing, retreated to Sanliao to write and establish theories that laid the foundation of Chinese fengshui culture. From then on, fengshui culture spread across China and beyond. The Zeng and Liao families of Sanliao inherited and advanced Yang’s profound techniques. Throughout the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, many master fengshui practitioners emerged, including 36 who were bestowed the title of Imperial Astronomer (Qintianjian Boshi) by imperial decree, earning worldwide acclaim. Major structures such as the Ming Tombs, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Eastern Qing Tombs in the ancient capitals of Nanjing and Beijing were all site-selected by Sanliao fengshui masters. The scenic area still preserves numerous fengshui works, such as the Meeting of Turtle and Snake, the Zeng Family Sand Hand, the Serpentine Ancestral Hall, the Tiger-Shaped Tomb, and the Seven-Star Pond. It is the best-preserved ancient village with the densest concentration of fengshui cultural artifacts in China, becoming a sacred pilgrimage site for fengshui enthusiasts worldwide.

　　In June 2008, Sanliao Fengshui Culture was officially included in the second batch of Jiangxi Province’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The Sanliao Fengshui Culture Scenic Area has been awarded titles such as “Top 10 Rural Tourism Attractions of Jiangxi 2006” and “National Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site 2007.” In 2009, Sanliao Village was designated as a Provincial-Level Historical and Cultural Village.
