Northern Guangdong

Yuebei is a multiethnic region, with a large population speaking Yuebei native languages (粵北土話／Yuebei Tuhua), Cantonese, Hakka, among others. While it has a history of engaging with variously government-led poverty alleviation projects since the 1980s, the region is increasingly becoming a location for the development of industrial parks, tourism, and organic food production.
