Hakka culture

Xihe street in Longquanyi District is a rare city with Hakka as the main body in Chengdu. When the "Hakka" immigrants came to Sichuan, because the fertile soil in Pingba was mostly occupied, and because they were familiar with the production and life in mountainous areas, they mostly lived in shallow hills or mountainous areas, forming Hakka inhabited areas. There are Hakkas in the streets, towns and townships. More than half of them are Damian street, Luodai Town, Baihe Town, Tong'an street, Xihe town and Shiling street.
