Chaozhou | Two days and one night trip with kids from Guangzhou
It takes 4 hours and 13 minutes to get from Baiyun to the hotel.
After arriving, you can go to Linjiang Hotel for tea. Due to time constraints, we settled here upon arrival in Chaozhou. For morning tea in Chaozhou, besides Han Shang Lou, Linjiang is one of the restaurants with better cost performance. Sitting by the window, sipping tea while overlooking the Han River, you can see the Guangji Bridge and Guangji Tower in the distance.
Recommendations: King of Shrimp Dumplings, Black Truffle Mushroom Dumplings, Chicken Feet, Spring Rolls, etc... The dim sum is quite good... Also, if you want to go to Han Shang Lou for morning tea, you can't reserve a seat, but you can for lunch.
🏠 Hotel: /It has its own outdoor parking lot which is very friendly for self-driving tours. After checking in, it's just a few minutes and a few yuan by taxi to Paifang Street, so don't drive there yourself as parking is difficult and it's congested.
In Chaozhou, we mostly focused on leisure with the kids, it's not suitable to be too tired or to rush around, and since we went in summer, we didn't go to Guangji Bridge and Guangji Tower because it was too hot, too hot, too hot...
Restaurants:
1·Xing Tea·Located on Paifang Street, almost everyone has a cup in hand, and you'd feel like you haven't been to Chaozhou if you don't buy one. Holding it in your hand and taking a photo under the archway, 'Yes, I've been here.' Picture 9
2·Zaiyang Tea House·Famed as the 'common people's stage', the kung fu tea performance and opera performance at Zaiyang Tea House are also very representative. We sat in a private room here (the private rooms have separate air conditioning in summer, which is cooler and better for groups). It's quiet for tea drinking, away from the noise of the main hall.

When you're tired from walking, take a break 🦶 The interior of the store has a Republic of China style, paired with a cheongsam, you know, for photo shooting 🎥, creating a great atmosphere.
Price 💰 Tea (single-tree selection with small snacks)
First floor large table (4-8 people) 298
Second floor medium table (2-3 people) 198
Second floor small table (2 people) 168
3·Fulu Xi·Lu Shui Hot Pot·Beef Hot Pot (Ancient City Store), contact in advance to reserve a seat before going. When in Chaozhou, you must try the old brine hot pot. After returning to Guangzhou, I still can't stop thinking about it Recommendations: Traditional brine soup, brine noodles, fresh sliced beef, vegetable shrimp paste, Kung Fu Jiugongge (optional) mainly for taking good photos...

4·Zaiyang Private Kitchen·Hidden in the small alleys under the archway, transformed from an ancient house, it feels like entering a scenic spot after going in. The walls are covered with plaques of awards won, specializing in Chao cuisine. If there are dishes you want to try, you can contact the owner in advance to arrange. Their charcoal-grilled conch is a must-try, and food critic Chua Lam even included it in his 'Must Eat Before You Die' list 😂 For a detailed introduction, you can check out 'Flavorful Origins'.

5·Xie Huai Liang Sesame Tea·Recommend almond tea, sesame tea, etc. The flavors are rich and the texture is smooth, and it's cheap. Have it as a late-night snack, it's really delicious. It's suggested to order takeout after arriving at the hotel, as there are too many people queuing at the store... Picture 13
guangji gate at chaozhou. nice old town in chaozhou.there is nightlight show at 8pm (which I miss)
Going to Chaozhou for a business trip, by the way, Guangjimen City Building is the main building, facing the Guangji Bridge. After the tour of the Guangji Bridge, the road across the past is to enter the archway street. It is also called Dongmen Building, the first of seven city buildings in the ancient city of Chaozhou, and the first and second floors are the Guangji Bridge Historical Exhibition Hall. The city building was built in Minghongwu for three years and has a history of about 600 years.
Guangji Building is also called Guangji Gate City Building, a palace-style three-story loft on the top of the mountain; each floor has a scale; the first floor is the scale "Lingdong Shouxu"; the second floor is "East for Wanchun"; the scale on the third floor is "Guangji Building". Guangji Building is a link to the east bank of the Han River, and is an important gateway to the moat.
La puerta Guangji (廣濟樓) de las murallas de Chaozhou fue construida en el año 1.370, durante la dinastía Ming. A través de ella, se conectaba el casco histórico amurallado con el puente Guangji que cruza el río Han.Está situada en dirección al este y es la más famosa de las siete puertas de las murallas. Mide 25 metros de altura, dividida en cuatro plantas.
The Guangji Building at night, the lights are shining, and the golden walls are brilliant. Whether it is walking on the city wall or walking in front of the city gate, it is the same breathtaking. I have to say that the managers of the ancient city have really demonstrated the magnificent momentum of Guangji Building through the lights for everyone.
Guangji Building is facing Guangji Bridge. It is actually a city building in the ancient city. The gate is Guangji Bridge. In the first month, the ancient city is brightly lit and the crowd is like weaving. Guangji Building is the brightest scenery. Even if the flow of people is so large, it is still the best choice for many tourists to take pictures.
