The name Meizhou comes from the Mei River and the Chinese name for the plum blossom (梅; méi). Meizhou was established as the prefecture of Jingzhou during the Southern Han (917-971).

Because of its mountainous location, Meizhou has numerous natural scenic areas and good air quality. Many visitors come to the Yannanfei Tea Garden to climb the mountain.

Hakka folk music is also a feature of the area. The songs sing of the Hakka people and their passion for their hometown, and of love.

Travel to Meizhou

Apart from the Meixian Airport which serves the city and the second closest airport is Shantou which is an hour and a half away by car.

From Shenzhen, it is a 5 hour journey by bus. Getting to the correct bus station is the problem. Nevertheless you can get buses at Zhao Por Lu (literally grassy field road, ¥30). Train is not practical because both trains arrive in Meizhou in the middle of the night.

The long distance bus from Meizhou to Hong Kong, which happens to stop at the border crossing in Shenzhen which is not that far from HK costs ¥100. The bus makes the trip in about 4 hours but with the border cross at two points each way it takes just about 6 hours on the dot. Rail is about the same but twice the price but if you get boogered sitting in the last row of the bus behind the reclining seats you will regret it. Plus there are no facilities on the bus and it only stops once on the journey.

Get Around

Many private cars with driver will approach you for affordable travel within Meizhou and surrounding areas.

There are also three wheeled bicycles that are for hire. Usually for about ¥5-6 they will take you about two miles or so. They will try to get more so set the price beforehand. Taxis are a little bit more but not outrageous at all. Sometimes a private motorcycle will be waiting around on a street corner and they are for hire too for the adventurous. Traffic in Meizhou is a mind boggler and is just plain reckless. They will drive anywhere even the sidewalk and the wrong way on the streets and then mix the bicycles.

Local Language in Meizhou

The local language is Hakka phrasebook|Hakka, which is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin, and only slightly with Cantonese phrasebook|Cantonese. Nevertheless, most local residents are trilingual in Hakka, Cantonese and Mandarin.
