Danshui Town has always been a place where Hakkas live and live in history. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, influenced by the southward migration of Qing soldiers, some Hakkas living in Meizhou moved eastward, southward and westward, while others moved to Huiyang and Huidong. At this time, Hakka people who moved to Huiyang and Huidong have been speaking Meizhou Hakka dialect with Meicheng accent in Meizhou city (Meijiang District and Meixian District) for generations.

For hundreds of years, Hakka dialect has influenced the surrounding dialects with its own advantages, and it is also inevitably influenced by the surrounding dialects, especially Cantonese. By accepting some factors of these dialects, Huiyang Hakka dialect, which is slightly different from Meizhou dialect, has gradually formed.

Danshui Town, Huiyang County has a superior geographical position, developed transportation network, abundant power supply, excellent communication system, perfect entertainment service facilities, and complete supporting systems such as science and technology, culture, education, health, finance, service, customs inspection, social security and public security management. It is an ideal place to develop modern industry, logistics, "three highs" agriculture and "suburban" agriculture.
