Abstract：It is generally believed that Huizhou’s transportation was mainly dependent upon waterway transport and supplemented by landway transport. However, the study of local historical records and the remaining relics of ancient roads indicate land transport accounted for a large proportion in ancient Huizhou’s transportation system. It is not only the basis for Huizhou’s material civilization, but also an important way for the formation, development and spread of Huizhou culture. In terms of time, land transport has a long history. It was initiated from the pre-Qin period to Sui Dynasty, established its network in Tang and Song Dynasties, and improved its transportation facilities from Southern Song Dynasty to Ming and Qing Dynasties. In terms of layout, Huizhou’s land transport network centered around Shexian, the seat of Huizhou Prefecture and constituted a radial pattern. Eastern and northern part of Huizhou had more land transport routes while southeastern and southwestern parts were mainly dependent upon waterways. These characteristics reflect Huizhou’s administrative division, economic geography, and physical geography as well. With the increasing improvement of both land and water transport, closed “mountains” and open “roads” together shaped Huizhou’s unique regional culture and splendid commercial civilization.
