Hakka Surnames Genealogy Museum
Located in Xueping, East Gate of Shanghang County (inside the Confucius Temple), it was established in May 2000 and officially opened in November. The museum is a cultural institution specifically dedicated to collecting and utilizing genealogical literature of Hakka surnames, serving overseas and domestic descendants of the Hakka people in tracing their roots, researching family lineages, as well as providing historical materials for Hakka studies experts and scholars engaged in academic research. The museum covers an area of 400 square meters and has collected over 600 editions and more than 10,000 volumes of Hakka genealogies from 110 different surnames. These genealogies are primarily from Shanghang County, but also include those from Hakka regions such as Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Taiwan, as well as those compiled by Hakka descendants around the world.
