Not hurry

Dawanshiju Hakka Fortified Village, Pingshan, Longgang district, Shenzhen.

The place I wanted to visit on 12 Feb. Two weeks later I did it.

From web:
Half of Shenzhen City was originally Hakka. This came about after the 17th century Kangxi Emperor depopulated the coastline to a depth of 30km as part of his campaign against Ming loyalists in Taiwan. When the coast was reopopulated, the Hakka, descendants of 13th century immigrants from north China, were quicker. Relations between the Hakka and the Cantonese were often strained. During the 19th century, half a million people lost their lives in civil strife between the Hakka and the Cantonese. Accordingly, most Hakka settlements of any size were heavily fortified. The most common form of fortification in south China is the rectangular "wei" or "wai". Dawanshiju is a similarly a well preserved and enormous Hakka wei, similar scale to the Crane Lake wei (which is now closed for repairing!! Just started on 24 Feb 0_O")

Arghh, you know what, I think I can write an eassy titled "historial tour in Shenzhen"...
