Local Customs

The culture, customs, architecture and food here are the same with some county of Gu Huizhou mostly, and it is a part of the Huizhou culture. Then you may have a question about why do they live here, not live in the Huizhou? The local people immigrate here for avoiding the war. A lot of people immigrate here around the late Tang Dynasty to Earlier Song Dynasty.

After the southern song dynasty, the local people were starting to go out for businese. Then, they use some money to build houses and buy the field and land for a living. After the living environment became better, they start to send their child for studying, therefore the Wuyuan county also is know as “ the book village”.
