Guijiaowei Park

　　    Guijiaowei, originally called Guǐwěijiǎo, is located beneath Bashijing Terrace in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. On both sides of Guijiaowei flow two beautiful and mysterious rivers — one is called the Zhang River, and the other is the Gong River. These two rivers originate from towering mountains, pass through gorges, surge over rapids, and leap across countless valleys, winding their way forward like two giant dragons. They encircle the ancient city of Ganzhou to the east and west, and converge at the tail end, forming the Gan River, the mother river of the people of Jiangxi. Ganzhou was once referred to as the “Floating Prefecture.” When viewed from above, the ancient city of Ganzhou resembles a giant divine turtle floating on the water, with the South Gate as the turtle’s head and the North Gate as its tail. Therefore, the confluence of the Zhang and Gong Rivers is called “Guijiaowei” (Turtle Tail Corner). Legend has it that the ancestors of the Hakka people, during their southward migration along the Gan River, landed at Guijiaowei. As such, this place holds special commemorative significance for the Hakka people. In honor of this heritage, the people of Ganzhou built the Hakka Ancestors’ Southward Migration Monument at Guijiaowei, placed the Hakka Ancestors’ Southward Migration Cauldron, and developed numerous tourism and leisure facilities. Today, Guijiaowei has become an important recreational spot for locals and a must-visit scenic destination for tourists from home and abroad.
