Shixing County is located in the northern part of Guangdong Province, southeast of Shaoguan City, at the junction of Guangdong and Gan, and is the "Hometown of Hot Spring in China", "Hometown of Wai Lau in China", and an important ecological barrier in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area. It has a long history, with a history of more than 1,600 years since the establishment of the county in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The ruins of the Qin City and the ancient city walls of the Han Dynasty tell the story of its history. Che Baling National Nature Reserve is located here, with well-preserved primitive monsoon rainforest, is the gene pool of biodiversity. The Hakka culture of Shixing has a deep foundation, and the magnificent buildings such as the Mantang Dawei are known as the "Pearl of Lingnan Architecture" because of their integration of defense and residential functions. Relying on ecological and cultural resources, the area has developed eco-tourism and specialty agriculture (such as Shixing Shiitake Mushroom and White Hair Tea), making it a famous city in northern Guangdong that combines the beauty of nature with the flavor of humanity.
