After more than two thousand years of vicissitudes, the ancient post road of Meiguan is still intact. Meiguan is a natural barrier across the two provinces of Jiangxi and Guangdong. The mountains here are steep and the peaks are facing each other. It has been a battleground for soldiers in all dynasties. Meiguan was also the only way for merchants to travel between Jiangxi and Guangdong in ancient times, and was called "the first pass in Lingnan". During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Meiguan Post Road was built, which communicated the inland and the "Maritime Silk Road", which was of great historical significance for promoting the economy of Jiangxi and Guangdong. "Yuling Red Plum" is a famous local landscape. In Meiguan, you can see the wonders of the flowers falling in the south and the beginning of the north branch.
