Just came back from Chaoshan, let me tell you the truth, I suggest you read this before you go

At first, I really went to Chaoshan for the food. But the trip to Chaoshan in 2024 made me re-evaluate it. The festive atmosphere, the warmth of the people, and their adherence to traditional culture moved me to tears. Having been to over 200 cities, I can responsibly say that this is the city with the richest New Year flavor, without a doubt. - You say 'truly intoxicating', and I find myself in the real Shantou. Drinking authentic Chaoshan tea among the crowd in the small park. Getting swept up in the fervor of the 'Chinese War Dance' and English songs and dances. Watching the sun slowly set, turning the water into a sea of oranges. - Of course, Chaoshan is not just about Shantou. When you're in Chaoshan, you have to take a trip to Chaozhou, right? Come see the 'demolishing bridge after crossing' at Guangji Bridge. Check out the largest archway street. And have a steaming hot pot of sand pot porridge and beef hot pot. - 👉How to play❓ Chaoshan 2️⃣ days 1️⃣ night travel route: Day1 Shantou Intangible Cultural Heritage Tour Catholic Church - Cunxin Shantang - Guanyin Temple - Small Park - Houxi Village/Fenggang Village English songs and dances performances - Day2 Chaozhou Ancient City citywalk Qinglong Ancient Temple - Guangji Bridge - Guangji Tower - Archway Street - Kaiyuan Temple - Zhenhai Tower - Guangji Tower night view - 👉Where to take photos❓ 1️⃣Guanyin Temple: The busiest rooftop in the country is right here, where Chinese classical literature is carved by craftsmen, exquisitely beautiful. - 2️⃣Small Park: The buildings here have a very Hong Kong style, and you can take classic photos of the Small Park window scene from the second floor of kcoffee. - 3️⃣English songs and dances: English songs and dances are performed throughout the entire first lunar month, you can check in advance which village starts the parade! - 4️⃣Guangji Bridge: The prototype of 'demolishing bridge after crossing', part of it is connected by chained boats, which are dismantled at sunset. - 5️⃣Qinglong Ancient Temple: You can come here to draw divination sticks, which are said to be very efficacious. - 6️⃣Chaozhou Ancient City: The night view of the ancient city is beautiful, and Archway Street looks amazing when shot with a telephoto lens. - 👉How to get there❓ Chaoshan has a high-speed train station, and you can also fly directly.
