Lóngnán

Lóngnán lies in the hills at the far southern tip of Jiāngxī, bordering Guǎngdōng in the Hakka country of Gànzhōu. The Southern Táng made it a county in 953, and its name records the first seat, south of Dragon Head Mountain, a place meant to see the dragon rise in Lǐngnán. Hakka families built fortified walled compounds in these hills, and the Míng later set up the neighboring Dìngnán County to the south.
