Ms. Wan, a tourist from Hunan Province, was very happy after visiting Longnan Guanxi Xinwei.

The key to making intangible cultural heritage "fire" lies in the cultivation of inheritors. "The group that can sing mountain songs now, mainly seventy or eighty-year-olds, will easily disappear if they are not passed on." Chen Kefa, the inheritor of Hakka folk songs, said that a few years ago, he began to consciously sort out Longnan folk songs, and now, Longnan Hakka Folk Song Transmission Institute has enrolled more than 20 students, forming a four-generation echelon of old, middle, young and young.
It is understood that Longnan City has completed a comprehensive survey of the city's intangible cultural heritage, basically ascertained the origin, continuation, development, distribution and preservation status of intangible cultural heritage, and timely sorted out and established the "Longnan City Intangible Cultural Heritage Work Archive".
