Chaozhou | I'm here! A one-day tour around the ancient city with a check-in strategy
Chaozhou! The first impression is Chaozhou cuisine, Chaozhou beef balls, and Chaozhou clay pot porridge are very famous in Nanjing, and they are also my favorite foods. In addition to eating well in Chaozhou, of course, you have to play well. In Chaoshan, just by circling the ancient city, you can eat and play at the same time, which is super convenient.
🚶🏻♂️My 1-day itinerary:
🪔Ancient city alleys ⇒ 🕍Kaiyuan Temple ⇒ ⛩️Ancient city archway ⇒ 🌉Guangji Bridge ⇒ 🏯Thai Buddha Hall
🅿️: Navigate to Kaiyuan Temple ground parking lot, the parking fee is not high, but there are a few spaces, sometimes you need to wait, there are charging piles inside, mostly occupied by fuel vehicles.
1⃣️Ancient city alleys (all the delicious foods are gathered here)
Beef balls, beef hotpot, fermented tofu chicken wings, clay pot porridge, glutinous rice pig intestines, nuo ji ji, sea stone flower, duck mother twist, turtle jelly, I have tried them all, not only delicious food but also various handicrafts, the ancient city alleys are great for eating, strolling, and taking photos 📸
2⃣️Ancient city archway
Inside the Chaozhou ancient city, these stone archways are widely distributed and numerous. Especially on Taiping Road, there are many spectacular stone archways. The ancient archway street under the night is even more charming, with the arcade lights shining brightly, pavilions reflecting each other, giving people a feeling of traveling through time and space.
3⃣️Kaiyuan Temple 🆓
Founded in the 26th year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (738 AD), originally named Lifeng Temple. After the Qing Dynasty, Kaiyuan Zhen Guo Zen Temple and Kaiyuan Temple were referred to together, commonly known as Kaiyuan Temple. It is very suitable for taking pictures and checking in, with many photo spots.
4⃣️Guangji Bridge (20💰 to cross the bridge, 🆓 to view the bridge)
One of the four famous ancient bridges in China, it has the unique landscape of 'disassembling the bridge after crossing the river'. Every day from 10 am to 5 pm, the middle part of Guangji Bridge is connected by 18 boats in a line, forming a pontoon bridge for people to cross. At 5:30 pm every day, the staff will dismantle these boats and rebuild them the next morning. This process is like a 'reincarnation' of life, vividly showing the historical and cultural value of Guangji Bridge.
5⃣️Thai Buddha Hall 🆓
Part of Kaiyuan Zhen Guo Zen Temple, completely Thai-style architecture, instantly travel to Thailand, many girls wearing Dai nationality clothes take photos and check in.
The ancient city of Chaoshan is very large, a food street, Abin beef hot pot is good, it is recommended to go to Paifang Street, Kaiyuan Temple (open during the day), Guangji Bridge, the bridge is relatively windy, the personal taste of oil and sugar is a bit bitter, the stomach is not good, it is not recommended to drink...
The open ancient city, or commercial street, can go here during the day to buy some souvenirs, Kaiyuan Temple, Guangji Bridge are here, at night you can go to the Han River to watch the light show, continue to eat and eat in the ancient city.
In the city, I mainly visited Paifang Street, Kaiyuan Temple, etc., and I was in the food capital. Of course, the most important thing was to eat. I ate beef hot pot, chopsticks, rice noodles, brine, and so on in the ancient city. Fish raw, oyster, southern breast chicken wings, various stews and Chaozhou cuisine such as national cuisine will come back next time. Worth coming.
Chaozhou ~ Ancient City Alley, fireworks on the earth, food is simply not finished to eat [color]
Chaozhou, the famous historical and cultural ancient city, is to go to the ancient city traffic is far away. Chaozhou Station was suspended last year. Now there is only the high-speed rail Chaoshan Station. However, there is a direct bus from the ancient city to the high-speed rail station at the door. To Paifang Street, basically ten minutes a shift, the fare is 15, the whole journey is 40 minutes direct, You can also take bus k2 under the central hospital, which is relatively slow. The entire ancient city attractions are separated from Yuan Temple, Xu Xumafu, Paifang Street, Jiadi Lane, Guangji Building, Guangji Bridge, Zhenhai Building and Hangong Temple, Taifo Palace, Huiru Park opposite the bridge. However, except for Kaiyuan Temple, the rest are closed on Monday. If you want to go back, you can go directly to the Taifo Palace or Huixuan Park by Didi or bus, and then go to Hanyu Gong Temple and take Guangji Bridge to the ancient city. Guangji Bridge ticket 20, can only be one way, the night view is very good
