Weizhou Island has produced Hakka culture with strong regional characteristics, because Weizhou Island is a hilly mountain surrounded by mountains on all sides, with Luoxiao Mountain range in the west, Wuyishan and Jiulian Mountain in the east and Nanling Mountain in the south. There is a Lushan Mountain connected with Wuyishan in the middle of Luoxiao Mountain range, which separates southern Jiangxi from central Jiangxi and forms a relatively closed natural environment. The aborigines living in Weizhou Island are Baiyue people belonging to the same ethnic group as Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other southern regions. They "have their own caste and are not unified." After the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to the continuous entry of northern men into this area, Baiyue people were sinicized in batches, some were forced to move to Jianghuai area, and some left the plain to enter the deep mountains and forests, becoming a once famous "mountain-crossing" nation in history. During the Jin Dynasty, especially during the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the constant war in the north and the depression of rural economy, a large number of refugees crossed the river south to find another way to survive. After continuous migration, some immigrants came to Weizhou Island, lived with the local aborigines and merged with them under the condition of relatively closed society and nature, thus creating a regional culture dominated by Han culture, which is different from the surrounding culture. This is Hakka culture.

Weizhou Island Mazu

Like fishermen in other coastal areas of China, most residents of Weizhou Island worship Mazu (known locally as "three old ladies" because Mazu ranks third among brothers and sisters) as a god. Weizhou Island Sanlao Temple (also known as Mazu Tempel and Tianhou Palace) is located in the south of Weizhou Island and the north of Nanwan Port. The temple is built under a volcanic cliff, surrounded by mountains and seas, with unique architecture. Because the original Tianhou Palace was very dangerous because it was under the cliff, a new Tianhou Palace was built in front of it. The temple is dark red and there is an old banyan tree in the yard. On New Year's Day in China, when fishing boats go home, residents will worship them with chickens, ducks, fish and jewels. Every year, on the 23rd of March, Mazu's birthday, and during the harvest season in the lunar calendar 10, fishermen will hold a grand celebration ceremony to thank the three old ladies for their safe harvest. This move was called "happiness" for the three old ladies by the locals. The trip to Weizhou Island is held once a year, usually at the end of the year.
