The Hezhou Hakka Roundhouse was constructed at the end of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a history spanning over two centuries. The complex covers an area of more than thirty acres, divided into a southern and northern section, separated by three hundred meters, forming a staggered pattern. The southern section is arranged in three horizontal and six vertical lines, featuring eight halls, eighteen courtyards, and ninety-four side rooms; the northern section is arranged in four horizontal and six vertical lines, with nine halls, eighteen courtyards, and one hundred thirty-two side rooms.
The entire structure of the roundhouse is symmetrical and square, surrounded by three-meter-high walls that separate it from the outside world. The layout of the buildings, halls, and courtyards is rational and integrated, with halls connected to corridors, corridors to rooms, and a winding, well-arranged design that connects vertically. The eaves, corridors, screens, beams, and pillars are all richly decorated with dragon and phoenix carvings, making it a magnificent epitome of Hakka architectural and artistic culture, often referred to as the ‘Forbidden City of the South’. The unique Hakka cuisine and the touching historical legends of the Hakka people make it an encyclopedia that can never be fully read, symbolizing Hakka culture and comprehensively showcasing the human history of the Hakka people. Opening hours are from 08:00 to 18:00 all year round. For preferential policies and additional information, the above is for reference only; specific details should be confirmed with the scenic area.
