My day trip to Chaozhou included visits to the Xu Fuma Mansion, the residence of Xu Jue, the husband of Princess De'an, sister of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The mansion's architectural style resembles a four-horse carriage, with bamboo-woven gray walls, stone flooring, and an S-shaped water system being its three treasures. It is the only known mansion of its kind in the private sector. We also visited the Guangji Bridge (a 4A scenic area), a vital transportation hub between Guangdong and Fujian, combining beam, pontoon, and arch bridges, and is considered on par with the Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge. We visited the Han Yu Ancestral Hall, learning about Han Yu's eight months of service in Chaozhou, with an inscription written by Su Shi. Next, we went to the Beige Buddhist Lamp, seeing the brightly lit lamp over the Han River. The Beige Buddhist Lamp is one of the eight scenic spots of Chaozhou. From the Beige Pavilion, we could see the Crocodile Crossing in the Autumn Wind, the Han Yu Ancestral Hall across the river, the Xiang Bridge in the Spring Tide downstream, the Phoenix Rain, and the Longqiu Pagoda.

The Han Wengong Ancestral Hall, nestled against Han Mountain and facing the Han River, is simple yet elegant. It was first built in the second year of the Xianping era of the Northern Song Dynasty to commemorate Han Yu's achievements in governing Chaozhou. From the Shilang Pavilion, one can enjoy panoramic views of the ancient city and Guangji Bridge. The stele gallery features a collection of calligraphy works, exuding literary charm and combining education with scenery, making it well worth appreciating. Admission is free, offering excellent value.

Qinglan Monster National Geopark has a beautiful environment, unique icebergs, and fresh air. It is worth visiting and a good place for family leisure. The cellar chicken in the geological park is also good. The prices of teahouses and snacks are reasonable and not too expensive. We went there as a couple, so we ordered a pot of tea and cellar chicken, snacks, ice cream, etc. at the teahouse at noon.
