When it comes to Chaozhou, I start drooling, and after craving for a long time, we finally set off!
1️⃣Transportation
Departing from Shanghai to Jieyang Airport, our itinerary was to first go to Nan'ao Island, then to Shantou and finally to wander and eat in Chaozhou.
Shantou➡️Chaozhou: You can choose to take a taxi, about 50 minutes; or you can take a bus, 28 yuan per ticket, which can be purchased in advance on the 'Chaozhou Yueyun' official WeChat account.
2️⃣Accommodation
For accommodation, we chose the hotel 'Seclusion', about 1 kilometer away from Chaozhou ancient city🏛️. The distance is just right, because being too close to the ancient city can be a bit noisy, and it's inconvenient to take a taxi🚗 on the pedestrian streets, while being too far is not convenient for traveling and sightseeing.
The hotel we stayed in is very artistic, with simple and mixed decorations that include technology style, equipped with automatic curtains🪟, bathtubs🛀, and screen projection, warm, comfortable, and convenient.
3️⃣Attractions
When visiting Chaozhou, you absolutely cannot miss these places!
The first stop is Kaiyuan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple with thriving incense, where every corner is permeated with a sense of historical weight, inspiring awe. We found the famous check-in spot 'Destined Kaiyuan' and posed for half a day.
Then we walked to Paifang Street, which seems to transport you back to ancient Chaozhou, with antique buildings and various archways that are too many to take in at once. Taking photos📷 and checking in is definitely a hit on the friend circle🟢. We went there on a Saturday, and it was quite crowded; it should be better on weekdays.
Don't forget to visit Zhenhai Tower🏠, the tallest building in Chaozhou. Standing on the tower, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire city, an absolute visual treat!
Guangji Tower and Guangji Bridge🌉 are also must-visit spots. Guangji Tower is simple and elegant, a symbolic building of Chaozhou ancient city; Guangji Bridge is a magical ancient bridge that combines beam, pontoon, and arch bridges.
4️⃣Food
