Boshe (Chinese: 博社村) is a village^[1] in Jiaxi (甲西镇), Lufeng, Shanwei, Guangdong province of China.^[2]^[3] The village has been in existence from at least the 13th century.^[4]

For years it has been a production centre for meth as well as ketamine. It was nicknamed "The Fortress" and "Breaking Bad village" as a consequence. The authorities finally raided it in December 2013 but appear to have failed to stamp out drug production.^[5]

According to Xinhua News Agency the region is "plagued with rampant drug production and trafficking". "Over a third of meth consumed in China originates from Boshe and neighbouring villages" and "one in five families is directly involved in drug production".^[6]

In popular culture[]

The 2013 raid of Boshe has become the storyline of the 2019 Chinese series The Thunder.^{[citation needed]}
