If you still don't know where to go for the Spring Festival, you must go to Chaozhou, which is antique, has a lot of food, and has a super strong New Year's flavor!! First post the itinerary, 👏 welcome everyone to recommend and supplement - 📅My itinerary Day 1⃣️: Chaozhou Ancient City - Paifang Street - Kaiyuan Temple - Xiangzi Bridge Day 2⃣️: Chen Cizao's Former Residence - Zaiyang Teahouse Day 3⃣️: Longhu Ancient Town - Return - 🏯Attractions Introduction: 1⃣️Chaozhou Ancient City: There are many alleys in the ancient city that are very lively, many small shops are very exquisite and suitable for check-in, you can discover it slowly. 2⃣️Paifang Street: Actually, it is the main street of Chaozhou Ancient City, which is more commercial, just stroll around. 3⃣️Kaiyuan Temple: An ancient and elegant temple, the eaves bell is really beautiful, don't miss the lucky bags and oil paper lantern walls in the temple. 4⃣️Xiangzi Bridge: The legendary bridge crossing the river, it looks good with aerial photography. If you don't have aerial photography, you can look at it on the city wall or on the shore. Tickets are required to go up the bridge. 5⃣️Chen Cizao's Former Residence: The former residence of overseas Chinese, it's really beautiful for taking pictures. This place actually belongs to Shantou, and tickets are required. Here you can see the process of making oil paper lanterns. 6⃣️Zaiyang Teahouse: Pros and cons, personal choice. The main thing is that the cost performance is not high, but the environment is good. 7⃣️Longhu Ancient Town: Compared with the ancient city, I prefer it here. The atmosphere here is more lively and simple, and there are many very good coffee shops and teahouses. - 🏨Accommodation recommendation: Don't live in the ancient city, firstly, the traffic is inconvenient, and it is difficult to carry luggage. Secondly, it is noisy in the ancient city, and the homestay rooms are also small. It is recommended to live in the new city area, a 15-minute journey, very convenient. - 🍜Food recommendation: Beef Kway Teow, Beef Hot Pot, Kway Juice, Oil Gan Juice, Chaoshan Fresh Pickles, Fish Raw Duck Shit Fragrant Lemon Tea, don't miss these, you really have to taste. A food guide will be out later! - 🚌Traffic recommendation: Chaozhou transportation is very convenient, high-speed rail can be done to Chaoshan Station, the airport is Jieyang Airport, it is more than half an hour's journey to the ancient city. It is not recommended to drive in the Chaozhou Ancient City, it is too congested, you can take a taxi.

Arrive at Chaoshan Station by high-speed rail, and take the K2 bus directly to Chaozhou Ancient City. The biggest feeling when you arrive in Chaozhou is that your stomach is not enough. Sashimi, pickles, clay pot porridge, rice noodles, beef hot pot, braised goose, herbal tea, it feels like it can't be arranged all at once. Even for eating, you have to stay at least two days, and you have to count the late-night snacks. Guangji Bridge is the focus of the trip to Chaozhou. The history of the bridge is needless to say. In order to understand the opening and closing of the bridge and the overall view in detail, you first need to take a long view on the Hanjiang Bridge. Choose the time before nine in the morning, at this time the bridge is not connected. After nine o'clock, the workers start to use the tugboat to drag the three floating boats docked on the side of the Han River to the center for connection. The process is very fast and it takes about 15 minutes to connect. After five o'clock in the evening, the floating boats are disassembled and towed to one side to dock. There is a light show at eight o'clock in the evening, the lights are very bright, which complements the majesty of Guangji Bridge.

Chaoshan Ancient City. What can I say about this amazing area of Chaoshan. The streets blooming with business. Lots of shops to buy souvenirs and cultural artifacts. The street food, the best! Delicious street food to fill your stomach! Let’s not forget the delicious drinks being sold on, traditional drinks for you to try. This area is the best place to be. Lots to do and lots to see. Head out there during the nighttime. You will love every second of it. #newyearadventure

⛩️ Everyone knows that the ancient city of Chaozhou has a profound cultural heritage and historical accumulation. It's a must-visit spot in Chaozhou, so my bestie and I rushed there just before noon. ⛳ There are many famous attractions in Chaozhou, such as the ancient city of Chaozhou, Kaiyuan Temple, Guangji Bridge, Paifang Street, Guangji Tower, Shangshuimen and Xiashuimen, Hanwen Gongci, Longhu Ancient Village, Tianhou Palace, and so on. In fact, these attractions are concentrated in two areas: one is around the ancient city of Chaozhou in the Xiangqiao District, and the other is inside the Longhu Ancient Village in the Chao'an District. 🏮 Wandering through the ancient city of Chaozhou is like stepping into an ancient cultural hall, feeling as if you've traveled through a thousand years. It seems that every brick and tile is telling an ancient story, and you can't help but linger in the rich atmosphere of culture and history. 📷 The ancient city of Chaozhou is very photogenic. My favorite spots to take pictures include: 1⃣️ Kaiyuan Temple, with its red walls, orange tiles, swaying green trees, bright colors, and fluttering flowers. It's great for taking pictures of the roof tiles, beams, magnolia flowers, and lanterns. Opening hours are from 7:00-12:00 in the morning and 13:00-17:00 in the afternoon; 2️⃣ Guangji Bridge and Guangji Tower are separated by a road. Standing at Guangji Tower to photograph Guangji Bridge can capture the full view, and vice versa; Guangji Bridge combines beam, pontoon, and arch bridges. It's nice to take photos next to the pavilion bridge, pontoon bridge, and railings. However, to go up to Guangji Bridge, you need to buy a ticket for 20 yuan/person, and it's free for those over 60 years old; 3⃣️ The ancient city of Chaozhou, Paifang Street, and the Shangshuimen and Xiashuimen buildings all have distinctive features. The old arcade buildings are lined up neatly, with eye-catching signs everywhere. The rows of paifangs and the winding ancient city walls make for a great backdrop for period costume photos; 4⃣️ The entrance to Longhu Ancient Village has a landmark ancient tower with the Longhu logo; 5⃣️ The 'Jinshi Di' house in the ancient village is a teahouse, where you can capture the mood of 'Asking the person behind the curtain, who replies that the begonias remain the same'; 6⃣️ There are many stone-paved alleys along the main passage of the ancient village. Choose a spot with abundant light for unexpected photo effects; 7⃣️ The red wall of Chao Coffee in the middle of the ancient village has many photographic elements; 8⃣️ The ancient trees in the Tianhou Palace in the village provide a canopy, suitable for taking scenic photos; 9⃣️ When there are no tour groups in the ancient village, there are few people, so you can take your time to take photos. 📌Tips: ✔️ Opening hours of the ancient city of Chaozhou: 9:00-17:00 💰 Admission: Free 📍 Address: Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City 🚗 Transportation: Take bus 601 to Binjiang Parking Lot, then transfer to an electric shuttle to Xiashuimen ✔️ Opening hours of Longhu Ancient Village: All day 💰 Admission: Free 📍 Address: Southwest corner of the intersection of Hudie Road and Longguan Road, Chao'an District, Chaozhou City 🚗 Transportation: Take Chaozhou bus route 204 (Chao'an Bus Station--Qiaodong Bus Stop Protection Field), and get off at Longhu Ancient Village Station to reach
