    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.

    Good scenetic view, but when you use ticket and walk accross the bridge, please dont go out the gate entrance cause the ticket only one way round. But if you go out a entrance that opposite that you walk pass ,you need to contact staff to ask for walking back. They are good people to listen by chinese language.

    Stepping onto Nan'ao Island is like stepping into a unfolding painting, with verdant mountains on one side and breathtakingly beautiful azure seas and silvery sands shimmering on the other. In recent years, Nan'ao County has restored the island's natural beauty through the restoration and management of its coastline, and the unique "blue" of Nan'ao has captivated and mesmerized countless people.

    It's truly an island that even Zuo'er would visit for a photoshoot. If you love the azure sea, the free breeze, and the delicious food, you absolutely must visit Dongshan Island! It's truly stunning! 👀 Route: Nanmen Bay - Sufengshan Ring Road - Zuo'er Rooftop - Jinluan Bay - Nanyu Double-Sided Sea - Green Lighthouse, the filming location for "Your Wedding" 🏠 Accommodation 1️⃣ Tongling Town: Concentrated food and great value. 2️⃣ Jinluan Bay: Perfect for watching the sunrise, high-rise sea view apartments with mirror-like beaches right out the window. 3️⃣ Nanmen Bay: Many sea view rooms, close to tourist attractions and popular check-in spots. 👊 Food When I went there, I didn't plan anything; I just randomly bought things along the way. I bought about three restaurants, and when I got back to the hotel, I didn't miss any of them! I ate them all!!! If you're really afraid of making a mistake, don't bother with a guide; just ask a local to recommend a few of their favorite places to eat. 🙋 Travel Options: 1. Self-driving car + electric scooter 2. High-speed rail + Didi + electric scooter (This area is perfect for exploring and eating on an electric scooter.)

    It's a fully commercialized ancient town nestled in the mountains and waters. There are many ancient banyan trees, and the earthen buildings are just so-so. If you haven't seen them before, it's worth a visit; they're wooden structures. If you want to go upstairs, the local residents will charge you 5 yuan per person.
