Live Your Best Lives
Niubi Village is located in the core area of Dadanxia hinterland.
Legend has it that during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Wanda Gong, an 18th-generation descendant of Zhu Xi, moved from Zhoutian and established his home there, a site with a history spanning over 500 years. Originally, the area was named "Baisha Bay" because the river often formed half clear water and half pristine white sand. Later, because the Jinjiang River winds around the village, forming a long, U-shaped peninsula resembling an ox's nose, it earned the name "Niubi Village," a popular name that has endured to this day.
Qingyuan has a subtropical monsoon climate, with summer being the longest and spring, autumn and winter being the shorter.
The average annual temperature is between 18.9℃ and 22℃, the average annual precipitation is between 1631.4 mm and 2149.3 mm, and the average annual rainy days are 160 to 173 days.
