Heyuan

Heyuan extends across 15,653 square kilometers of northeastern Guangdong, containing six administrative districts and counties along the Dongjiang River system.

The region developed as a settlement center during the Qin Dynasty when northern populations migrated south, establishing communities along the river valleys.

The population of Heyuan preserves Hakka traditions through ancestral architecture, including the Sijiao buildings and performances of Longchuan Acrobatics.

Two central bus stations in Yuancheng District connect passengers to major cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou with regular three-hour service intervals.

Scientists have documented over 10,000 dinosaur egg fossils in the region, establishing Heyuan as a significant location for paleontological research.
