Meizhou (Pinyin: Meizhou, Postal Romanisation: Meichow, Kaying), formerly known as Jiaying and Chengxiang, is a prefecture-level city under Guangdong Province, located in the northeastern part of Guangdong at the tripoint of Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. Meizhou is a typical mountainous area, situated south of the Nanling Mountains, often described as 'eight mountains, one water, one farmland', with many hills and little arable land. The culture of Meizhou is a quintessential Hakka culture, deeply rooted in central plains heritage. Over a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Hakka people migrated south from the central plains to escape wars, undergoing five major migrations, passing through Jiangxi and Fujian, and eventually settling in northeastern Guangdong, gradually forming the stronghold of the Hakka community. Central plains culture, such as architecture and cuisine, has been preserved, inherited and promoted here, forming a unique Hakka culture. As a result, Meizhou has become a representative of the Hakka community.
