Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Beachcombing in Shantou is a popular recreational activity that is loved by tourists and has become a popular tourist experience. The best time to beachcombing is usually when the tide is low, when you can catch seafood such as crabs, sea urchins, and conchs on the beach and reefs. In Shantou, you can choose from a number of popular locations, such as Qing'ao Bay and Mayu Island, which are not only rich in seafood but also have beautiful scenery.

Before beachcombing, remember to check the tide table and choose the best time to beachcombing two hours before and after the lowest tide. At the same time, it is also necessary to take safety measures such as sun protection and anti-slip. For tourists who are beachcombing for the first time, it is recommended to follow an experienced local guide or join a beachcombing group to ensure safety and a full harvest. Beachcombing not only allows tourists to get close to nature and feel the gifts of the sea, but also allows them to experience the traditional lifestyle of fishermen. It is an unforgettable tourist experience.

Shantou's Xiaogongyuan and Old Fort.

Shantou's Xiaogongyuan and Old Fort.

Shantou Xiaogongyuan is a historical witness to Shantou's century-old commercial port. There is a saying that "Xiaogongyuan came first, then Shantou City." Xiaogongyuan is not a park in the strict sense, nor is it small. It is a series of streets radiating from the center of the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Pavilion, cut by arcade buildings with Nanyang characteristics. The style and layout are similar to Zhongshan Road in Xiamen. Xiaogongyuan is suitable for walking and shopping. You can visit the Open Port Culture Exhibition Hall and Shantou Post Office to learn about the history and style of Shantou's opening; you can visit the Zheng Zhengqiu and Cai Chusheng Film Museum and immerse yourself in the narrative atmosphere of light and shadow art; you can walk into the Cunxin Mansion and feel the architectural style of the combination of Chinese and Western styles and colorful decorations; you can enter the Laomagong Theater, drink tea, and watch the Chaozhou Opera Culture Exhibition; you can stop at any time and taste Chaozhou rice rolls and licorice fruit salad. Shantou Shibao Fort, also known as Qilu Fort, was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and was an important forward base for coastal defense in eastern Guangdong at that time. The fort faces the Rongjiang River, surrounded by a moat. In the middle of the base of the city wall is a tunnel running through the entire fort. The tunnel is built with stone blocks in the shape of an arch, and the interior can store shells and food. There are east and west gates in the fort leading to the barracks. The outer wall of the fort is constructed in the shape of a wall, with gun holes, and there is a ventilation and communication tower on the fort platform for transmitting information up and down and ventilating and lighting the bottom floor. There is a crescent-shaped platform on the north side, facing a green square, used to command and watch soldiers practice. The old fort is sparsely populated, in stark contrast to Xiaogongyuan. Standing on the city wall of the fort, touching the Qing Dynasty official cannons with a history of hundreds of years, the distant Rongjiang River is calm and peaceful. Looking back on the past, the ancient beacon smoke is now quiet, which highlights the importance of national defense construction.

Shantou, a cost-effective family-friendly hotel.

🎉I found a cost-effective family-friendly hotel near Shantou MixC. There are so many rooms to choose from, and I booked a family room! The room is very cozy! My 30-year-old baby had a great time! - There is also a meeting room! You can work and travel at the same time! The bedding is so soft that I slept through the night and woke up refreshed to greet the morning light in Shantou. 🛌 Breakfast is served from 7:00 to 10:00, and there are so many options that I had a hard time choosing! Remember to get up early, or you'll have to wait in line! The breakfast includes a variety of options, including Chaozhou-style beef balls and rice noodles, which can satisfy the tastes of different guests. The best part is that the hotel also provides a "Shantou Travel Guide," so you can plan a 3-4 day trip easily. It's a blessing for lazy people! Good surrounding facilities: The hotel is located in a bustling commercial area with complete facilities. There is a dessert shop downstairs and a vegetable market nearby, making it convenient to buy food or daily necessities. 🏨Holiday Inn Express Shantou City Center Address: No. 6 Hengshan Road, Shantou

What a fantastic hotel with an amazing value!

What a fantastic hotel with an amazing value!

The hotel's internal intelligent facilities are equally impressive. As soon as I stepped into the room, the intelligent "Xiaodu" assistant caught my attention. With just a simple instruction, I could easily control the opening and closing of the curtains, the turning on and off of the TV, and the adjustment of the lights. This technologically advanced experience made me feel like I was in a future life. The smart toilet further enhanced the comfort and hygiene standards of the accommodation, making every use an enjoyment. The hotel's buffet breakfast is varied and nutritious, from Chinese pastries to Western breads, from fresh fruit to hot porridge, everything is mouth-watering. The gym and laundry room also provide great convenience for guests. Being able to maintain daily exercise or wash clothes in a timely manner during the trip, these details show the hotel's meticulous consideration of guests' needs. I must mention the service attitude of the hotel staff. From the warm reception at the front desk at check-in to the daily cleaning and maintenance of the rooms, every employee showed professionalism and enthusiasm. Their smiles and attentive service made me feel the warmth of home and made this trip more warm and pleasant. With its excellent location, intelligent facilities, thoughtful service, and convenient transportation, the Orange Hotel (Shantou Mixc High-speed Railway Station Branch) provides a high-quality accommodation experience for every guest. Whether it is a business trip or a leisure trip, this is an ideal choice. If you happen to be planning a trip to Shantou, consider the Orange Hotel, I believe it will bring you an unforgettable journey.

Teochew food recommendations

What I ate in Teochew|||Teochew food ​A summary of the food I ate on my trip to Teochew. I spent three days in Teochew and ate four meals a day. The first meal I had after landing in Jieyang was "Dongxing Fish Fillet Congee." I ordered the fish fillet and crab combo, which was a full pot. The congee is made to order, so you have to wait a while, but you can order an oyster pancake from the stall next door to eat while you wait. The congee was really delicious, with the fresh and sweet taste of the seafood fully infused into the congee. Beef hotpot - I had it almost every day, I loved it so much. I would go back just for the beef hotpot. I highly recommend the "snowflake" and "spoon" beef, which melt in your mouth and are so tender, and the crispy beef brisket. First, cook the meat, then the vegetables, and finally order some kway teow noodles, which are delicious with satay sauce. I recommend "Niuniu Hotpot" on Nan'ao Island and "Ah Hou Beef" in Shantou. ​Raw marinated seafood - I only tried the salmon and cooked abalone. If you have a strong stomach, you can try the crab. I recommend "Ruijiao Mama." ​Nan'ao Island - I went to a seafood restaurant recommended by a colleague. The sea urchin and seaweed fried rice was amazing. It looked black and mushy, but the aroma of the sea urchin filled my mouth with every bite, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The other seafood was average. "Island Flavor" ​Desserts - I recommend Xi Yi Sweet Soup. Everything with taro flavor is delicious and not too sweet. It's best to go to the main store. Braised hotpot - I don't recommend this in Shantou. I really didn't like it. The braised soup was bitter and salty. I went to a restaurant recommended by Wong Cho Lam on "Day Day Up." Apart from the tender and smooth liver, the other dishes were all salty and bitter. Teochew food recommendations ​
