Around the year 1600, it was illegal to leave mainland China. Some Hakka people broke the law, though, and settled in Taiwan because life in the mountains of Guangdong province was hard. Poor soil and a growing population inspired adventurous Hakkas to sail across the Taiwan Straits and take their chances in a new land. They found rich soil, beautiful scenery, and freedom. Many went back to get their relatives and friends.

The Hakkas are a unique ethnic group of "Han" Chinese originally active around the Yellow River area. They are thought to be one of the earliest "Han" settlers in China. One theory has it that many of the early Hakkas were affiliated with the "royal bloods". The truth may be more complicated than that. It is highly likely that while Hakka may be a stronghold of Han culture, Hakka people also have married other ethnic groups and adopted their cultures during the long migration history of 2000 years.
