Where is the quietest Guangdong?

What do you think of when you mention Guangdong ?

Guangzhou is a thousand-year-old commercial capital with flourishing flowers.

Shenzhen is still racing against time and moving forward

This may be the understanding of most people about Guangdong.

Bustling and bustling

(Sunset over Shenzhen Bay, photographer @公强)

But it only takes 3 hours to drive

From Guangzhou to the west

Passing through the flat and fertile Pearl River Delta Plain

The mountains in front of us are getting taller and denser.

High-rise buildings and traffic are left behind

You can see another quiet Guangdong

If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the world

Then come to Xinyi and have a look

How do people here live next to the mountains?

Live in the mountains and enjoy the beauty of mountains and forests

01

Into the Cloud

Straight to the Cloud

Arrived at an altitude of 500 meters

You will see a " Mountain Guangdong "

The much-loved Greater Bay Area is no longer in the spotlight

The mountainous areas in the east, west and north of Guangdong are all present

And turn your attention to the western part of Guangdong

A prominent bulge supports the land at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi

It also pulls Xinyi into the world of mountains

In Xinyi

There are 87 peaks with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.

371 peaks over 500 meters

Peaks and forests stand side by side, and mountains are everywhere you look.

As Guangdong's unique low-latitude coastal mountain area

Xinyi is located south of the Tropic of Cancer

The South China Sea is 100 kilometers away

The hot and humid sea breeze is stirring not far away

When the boundless hot and humid steam

Encountering the mountains of different heights

Xinyi's mountain and forest aesthetics has been staged since then

Quiet Time

Clouds and mist, fairy air

(The surrounding water vapor climbs to Datianding, the highest peak in western Guangdong, causing the Dawuling on its southwest side to be shrouded in fog for 50% of the time in winter, spring and summer every year. The number of foggy days throughout the year is greater than or equal to 100 days. The picture shows the foggy Dahandi, photographer @MiloPhoto)

When moving

Heavy rain and thunder all year round

The mountains are undulating and the landforms are varied

A combination of movement and stillness, with different vegetation

Create the patchwork landscape of Xinyi

800-1000 meters above sea level

Mountain grassland communities cover the rolling hills

With mountain lakes

Creating a pleasant landscape like Altay

Medium and low mountains with an altitude of 500-800 meters

The mountains are covered with fir, pine, bamboo and various broad-leaved forests.

The mountains in Xinyi are therefore green and lush.

Xinyi Ma'an Village

30,000 mu of bamboo in the warm and humid mountainous area

Taking root, growing, rising

It became the largest bamboo forest in western Guangdong

Continue down

You see the stream and the mountain meet in a narrow road

Forming countless canyons and waterfalls

Mountain forest rain and heat

Create the green mountains and rivers and all living things in Xinyi

But what about the people who live in it?

02

See the river

Civilization is always accompanied by rivers

The mother of rivers often comes from the mountains

Overlooking the Xinyi Mountain Area

Many rivers in western Guangdong and eastern Guangxi originate from here

(Sketch of Xinyi water system, drawn by @Song Nan/Planet Research Institute)

▼

Nanjiang River , Huanghua River , Jianjiang River

They all came out of the mountains of Xinyi and made their own way

Nanjiang River (Luoding River)

Originated from Xinyi Jilongding

Flowing from south to north, nourishing the Luoding Basin

It flows into the Xijiang River and then into the Pearl River

(Luoding River, also known as Nanjiang River, flows through Luoding City and Yunan County. The picture shows the section in Xinbao Town, Xinyi. Photographer: @沈学文)

It merges with the Beiliu River in Guangxi

Western Guangdong and Eastern Guangxi share the same river water

Jianjiang

The origin of the tiger and leopard pit in Confidence

From a trickle to the largest river in the coastal area of ​​western Guangdong

It is affectionately called the "Mother River" by the people of western Guangdong.

After bidding farewell to the mountains and rivers of Xinyi, we head south to the sea

(Please watch in horizontal mode. Jinjiang River, the main stream of the upper reaches of Jianjiang River, is the mother river of Xinyi. Photographer: Gao Chaohua)

▼

But the source of the river is often small and weak

In the days when civilization was still in its infancy

Xinyi is a mountainous area, where nature gave birth to its inhabitants

Slang

Living in western Guangdong, he was the early owner of Xinyi

They "like to live in the mountains, live in stilt houses, and like bronze drums"

(A village in the mountains of Xinyi, photographer @高超华)

▼

The bronze drum has a loud sound and can travel far

Boost morale during battles and communicate with gods during sacrifices

The Li people who own bronze drums

Often the most powerful among the tribe

The clouds opened up the mountains, the sea of ​​clouds was vast, and thunder roared

The Li people hear thunder and see the sea of ​​clouds

Carve what you see and hear on bronze drums

(So ​​far, 63 bronze drums have been unearthed in Xinyi, the region with the most bronze drums unearthed in Guangdong. Photographer: @胡可平, map: @东平小龙/星球研究院)

▼

The drums in the mountains sound , and the stars shift.

Later, Han culture entered the mainstream

The Han people, who make their living by farming, have no intention of leaving dense forests.

Rivers and plains are the home they long for.

The confluence of two rivers

Breaking out a rare flat land in Xinyi

Xinyi's historical political and cultural center

Settle down here

Painting another picture of civilization

Academies are the place where scholars place their hopes on passing the imperial examinations

at the same time

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of Han immigrants have entered

They believe in farming and studying to pass on their family traditions.

Cultivate farmland and build homes along the river

(Zhenlong Piao Se originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The Han people from Xinyi brought the Piao Se here, integrating opera, acrobatics and other art forms. It was paraded and celebrated during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. Photographer: @蔡海荣)

▼

If a group of people depend on plains and rivers, farming for a living

Then Xinyi may not be a blessed place.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, Xinyi's population has increased dramatically

But it is still small and remote

I can only witness the rivers flowing into the sea and the wanderers leaving their hometowns.

(Xinyi Zhenlong Town, Liushuang Lantern, has a history of more than 300 years and originated from Liushuang Village. Xinyi people use local materials, bamboo strips as the frame and rice paper as the surface, and write blessings on the lanterns. Photographer @高超华)

In the early 20th century, Li Jilian, an overseas Chinese businessman from Xinyi

Successful tin mining in Malaya

So in Malaysia-Guangzhou Bay (now Zhanjiang)-Xinyi Zhenlong

The " Jinluntai " business was opened along the way, forming its own water and land transportation line

Guiding Xinyi people to migrate south

Only in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926)

There are tens of thousands of Xinyi folks who went to Southeast Asia via Jinluntai

Later they took root and gave rise to more than 500,000 overseas Chinese.

Over the years

Many Xinyi people had to leave their homeland

Looking outward for broader development space

To take the mountain as the key point, to take the mountain as the key road

For Xinyi, which is blocked by mountains

Often difficult

(In 1992, before the opening of the road in the mountainous villages of Xinyi, photographer @Qiu Lihe, map @Dongping Xiaolong/Planet Research Institute)

For a large number of people

Farewell to the mountains and rivers

It has long been the main way out

But now, returning to the mountains may be an option

03

Mountain House

Until the end of 2015

Xinyi just got its first expressway

It is one of the last counties and cities in Guangdong to have access to expressways.

For a long time, transportation to the Greater Bay Area has been inconvenient.

Make Xinyi a "hidden corner"

As a result, Xinyi has retained a rare piece of green mountains.

Afterwards

Highways cross mountains and hills

The more difficulties there are, the more beautiful scenery there will be.

Creating " China's Most Beautiful Green Highway "

(The Yunmao Expressway was opened to traffic in 2021, connecting the Greater Bay Area and the mountainous areas of western Guangdong from east to west. It was rated as "China's most beautiful green expressway". The mountains along the route are high and the valleys are deep. The bridge-tunnel ratio of the entire line is 39.8%, and the mountain-crossing section is as high as 66.6%; the line obliquely crosses the Guizi arc fault zone, and the geological conditions are complex; at the same time, there is a heavy fog zone of about 2.4 kilometers.

Now, when we drive into the Xinyi section of Yunmao Expressway

Still green mountains and flowing waters

The forest coverage rate of Xinyi City is 68.28%

Looking back at the folded mountains

Xinyi is located in a low-latitude mountainous area.

There are huge differences in altitude within the territory, and the vegetation is complex and diverse.

The plums grown in Xinyi, the Sanhua plums , are native to northern Guangdong.

Adapt to high temperature and high humidity, but flower buds need a certain low temperature for dormancy

Xinyi has sufficient sunlight and moderate cold in winter.

After Sanhua plum took root here, it was continuously domesticated and improved.

I have had no interest in worldly things since I was young, and my nature is to love mountains and hills.

I fell into the dust net by mistake and was gone for thirty years.

The tide of the times rolls forward and cannot be caught up

But since the vast sea of ​​clouds and green mountains remain

Build a mountain residence on the cloud and enjoy the aesthetics of the mountains and forests
