A must-visit spot to experience Hakka culture! The well-preserved walled houses in the ancient city make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. The blue bricks and black tiles paired with exquisitely carved doors and windows are incredibly photogenic! Wearing traditional Hanfu for photos is highly recommended for the full effect～ After exploring, you can also try authentic local snacks like Hakka rice cakes and hot skin noodles.

📍Jiuqu Resort
About a 15-minute drive from the ancient city, this breathtaking secret spot is nestled by mountains and water. Clear streams meander through, creating the unique "Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns" landscape. It’s best to visit between 4-6 PM to capture the sunset’s golden glow on the water, perfectly complemented by the surrounding green hills—simply stunning!

🍜Food Recommendations:
Be sure to try Dingnan’s three treasures—hot skin noodles, rice cakes, and wormwood rice cakes! We recommend the "Kelaixiang" restaurant in the ancient city area, where you can enjoy an authentic Hakka feast for about 50+ RMB per person.

Driving is the most convenient option, about 1.5 hours from Ganzhou city center; alternatively, take the high-speed train to Dingnan Station and then a taxi to your destination.
