Huizhou, Prefecture-level city in Guangdong, China
Huizhou is a prefecture-level city in Guangdong that incorporates five administrative units with densely built urban areas and farmland stretching to the South China Sea coast. Two industrial parks link regional economic hubs with northwestern neighboring cities.
Prefecture-level status was granted in 1988 and led to the formation of three counties and several districts under one organizational framework. Earlier Qing authorities had established preliminary administrative structures based on coastal resources.
The Hakka community here speaks a dialect distinct from Cantonese and follows cooking traditions centered on fermented vegetables and steamed dumplings. Local tea ceremonies follow established rituals that reflect connections to agricultural customs from the eastern highlands.
Visitors arriving from larger cities reach the area by intercity buses or expressways from the northwest. The extent of the urban area makes local navigation challenging, so minibuses, internal transport, or taxi services operate across the subdivisions.
More than 800 Chinese scholars and poets visited the region over centuries. One of them spent three years there during the Song Dynasty.
