Kaixinkafeidou: Traveling to Chaoshan, I journeyed from Chaozhou to Shantou, then to Nanao Island, and finally arrived in Jieyang for a rest. This hotel was the most comfortable, offered the best food, and provided the most convenient lifestyle for my entire family. 1. First off, the staff at the front desk were incredibly responsive. Even with a queue of people checking in, someone immediately came to ask those waiting behind if they needed anything. Big thumbs up to the front desk team. 2. The room was new and smelled lovely. The view was great. After returning from Nanao Island, I had a lot of dirty clothes, and the floor attendant quickly washed and dried them for me; they came back smelling wonderful. The floor staff greeted us with a smile and even asked if we needed extra water. 3. The hotel's location is excellent. Downstairs, there are three coffee shops, a supermarket, and a shopping mall. My kids loved being able to easily go to the movies two nights in a row. It was also super convenient for me to buy watermelon and other fruits at the supermarket. 4. The breakfast quality was also very good. The hotel had many guests, which clearly shows how much everyone enjoys staying here. This hotel is absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Jieyang.

Yno_: The hotel is new and bright, and the room is also clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The location is great, close to all the attractions, making it convenient to get around. However, the robot delivery service for food orders was a bit slow. If you need something quickly, it's better to contact the front desk directly, and they'll bring it up much faster. When I checked out, I returned my room card and left, but the front desk even chased after me to give me an Artemisia argyi moxibustion stick, which was a really thoughtful gesture. Overall, the service is truly excellent, and the environment is lovely. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time.

Phoenix43: The hotel is very easy to find, right by the road with a parking lot next to it. There are plenty of parking spaces, and the hotel even provides a 15 RMB parking subsidy! This time we got a free upgrade to a larger twin room. The room was clean, tidy, and very comfortable. It's also very close to the ancient town, so we went out to enjoy the night view right after arriving in the evening!

Guest User: The hotel room was spotless and the pillows and mattress were comfortable. I especially appreciated the thoughtful new design of the sink, which prevents water from splashing out – a really nice detail. The breakfast spread was extensive, and the freshly prepared rice noodles were delicious. The front desk staff were warm and attentive. The hotel's location is excellent, being very close to Jinxian Gate, Jieyang Confucian Temple, the Old Street, Shishi Bridge, and Chenghuang Temple.

Evademudadao: Overall, this stay was a pleasant surprise. The hotel facilities are all new and well-equipped in every aspect. It's rare to find such a professional hotel at this price point. The room has a large, very comfortable sofa. Despite being in a bustling area, parking at the hotel is convenient, and the views are great from a high floor. Getting to the ancient city is easy – just walk straight down the street opposite, no need for even a shared electric bike. In short, it was a delightful surprise; if you're coming to Jieyang Ancient City, booking this hotel is a no-brainer.

Guest User: Had a very comfortable stay this time. The room was impeccably clean, and there were no unpleasant odors in the bathroom. The location is great—it's easy to hail a cab right outside, and with plenty of eateries nearby, shopping and dining are super convenient. For those driving, there is ample parking space, and staff members came over to help with our luggage as soon as we stepped out of the car. The service was wonderful, and I would definitely consider staying here again next time.

Guest User: This newly opened hotel in September still has some shortcomings. I booked a room in the Yunqi area, but upon check-in, I discovered it was a courtyard room. Aside from the lack of natural light, the smell wasn't too strong. Other rooms that weren't courtyard rooms had windows, so the lighting and ventilation were okay. There was no hand sanitizer in the room, which needs improvement. The large projector provided a good movie-watching experience. The room size was good, with a long table suitable for ordering takeout and storing luggage. The whole room is smart; just ask Xiaodu (a smart speaker). I'd give the cleanliness a 7 out of 10. I wiped everything inside and out with disinfectant wipes. The towels and bath towels were above the toilet, but I didn't use them, using my own disposable ones. Of course, the hotel also provided disposable towels and bath towels, which was nice. The location is excellent, only 200-300 meters from the ancient city, a few minutes' walk. Nearby are McDonald's, Luckin Coffee, and oyster omelets. Near the ancient city, there's also Abin Beef Hot Pot, raw fish, and grilled beef. The receptionists were very patient and responsive. The boss wants to add a chicken leg 🍗. Anyway, I highly recommend staying here for a night if you're visiting the old town. It's super convenient.

Want to eat like a local? Don't miss out on these top Jieyang dishes and foodie spots.
Some trips are all about beautiful scenery, while others are remembered for the food, culture and little moments along the way. ChaoShan gave me all of these in one unforgettable journey. Located in eastern Guangdong, ChaoShan is a wonderful destination made up of three fascinating cities — Shantou, Chaozhou and Jieyang. From peaceful island coastlines to traditional architecture and delicious local dishes, every day brought something different. 🌊 Day 1 | Discovering Shantou My journey began in Shantou. After arriving, I checked into my hotel and headed straight to the historic Small Park area. Walking through the old arcade streets felt like stepping into another era. The traditional buildings, vintage shopfronts and glowing lanterns created such a charming atmosphere. In the evening, I explored Longyan South Road, a popular food street filled with local restaurants and snack stalls. I couldn’t resist trying Chaoshan beef hot pot, marinated seafood and traditional rice noodle rolls. It was the perfect introduction to ChaoShan! 🏝️ Day 2 | A Coastal Escape to Nan’ao Island The second day was all about the sea. I travelled to Nan’ao Island and enjoyed the beautiful coastal scenery along the island road. Qing’ao Bay was one of the highlights, with its blue water, sandy beach and relaxing seaside atmosphere. I also visited the famous Natural Gate, explored the rocky coastline and stopped at scenic viewpoints for photographs. Of course, no island trip would be complete without fresh seafood. A delicious seafood lunch made the day even better! 🌅 Day 3 | Island Moments & Beautiful Sunsets I started the day early to enjoy the peaceful seaside atmosphere and morning views. The island experience continued with a visit to Mazu Island, where I enjoyed the coastal scenery, temple surroundings and relaxing village atmosphere. One of my favourite moments was watching the sunlight slowly change over the sea. The beautiful colours of the sunset made me want to stay a little longer. After a full day of island exploration, I returned to Shantou for another delicious local dinner. 🏮 Day 4 | Exploring the Ancient City of Chaozhou Today was a journey into traditional Chinese culture. I visited Guangji Bridge, one of Chaozhou’s most iconic landmarks, and admired its beautiful traditional architecture. Kaiyuan Temple was another peaceful stop, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history. Later, I wandered through Paifang Street, where traditional shopfronts, local snacks and historic buildings lined the streets. I also enjoyed authentic Chaozhou food, including marinated goose, oyster omelette and fish ball soup. Before leaving, I experienced Gongfu tea culture — a lovely way to appreciate the flavours and traditions of ChaoShan. ✨ Day 5 | A Sweet Farewell in Jieyang On my final day, I travelled to Jieyang for a little more sightseeing and local culture. I enjoyed exploring the historic streets, discovering traditional architecture and experiencing the famous Phoenix Dancong tea culture. Before heading to the airport or railway station, I made sure to enjoy one last ChaoShan meal. Five days passed so quickly, but the memories will stay with me for a long time. ❤️ A Journey Worth Remembering What made ChaoShan special was not just its beautiful scenery or delicious food. It was the combination of coastal adventures, charming old towns, local traditions and warm everyday moments. From the blue waters of Nan’ao Island to the lantern-lit streets of Chaozhou, every destination had its own character. If you love Chinese culture, beautiful coastlines and food adventures, ChaoShan deserves a place on your China travel list! 5 Days · 4 Nights · 3 Cities · Countless Memories #ChaoShanTravel #ChinaItinerary #ChinaTravel #Shantou #NanAoIsland #Chaozhou #Jieyang #GuangdongTravel #ChinaFoodTrip #ChineseCulture #chinaitinerary

I originally planned this Chaoshan trip to be all about eating and drinking~ But after arriving, a local friend recommended the Puning Yingge Qing Scenic Area👀 I was truly stunned after watching it!! In the afternoon, I headed straight to Theater No. 2 for "Fireworks Chaoshan"✨ It's a 360° surround theater with seating at traditional Chaoshan Eight Immortals tables, which is very creative👐 Green lions, puppets, and Chaoshan opera take turns performing, allowing you to leisurely experience the daily life of Chaoshan. The atmosphere is fantastic~ The main event is the "Yingge Passion" show at Theater No. 1 in the evening🌃 A hundred-person Yingge troupe takes the stage with the thumping of drumsticks, holographic lighting, and a rotating stage. The story depicts our ancestors pioneering, resisting Japanese pirates, and traveling to Southeast Asia. When the drums start, you get goosebumps; that sense of passion and nostalgia is hard to capture in photos👏 The park's lantern street and red peach cake wall are super photogenic📸 You can see NPCs everywhere, and it's very comfortable to walk around. There are also various snack stalls along the roadside😋 You can enjoy food and entertainment all in one place✌️ 📍 Puning Yingge Qing Scenic Area ⏰ "Fireworks Chaoshan" 4:00 PM | "Yingge Passion" 7:30 PM 🚗 About a 35-minute taxi ride from Puning Station There's more to Chaoshan than just the food~ This intangible cultural heritage performance is really worth a visit!!

⛰️These are the landscapes I visited within Guangdong Province from January to July 2026. I feel that while Guangdong is not lacking in cultural architecture, its natural scenery is not well-known enough.

_We***62The ancient city of Jieyang is a delightful surprise. It's very distinctive and exquisitely decorated. The blend of historical architecture and modern living creates a wonderful atmosphere.
璃璃火First of all, the attractions in Jieyang are all very close together. You can probably see everything in a day. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is a must-see. Nearby are the City God Temple, Shuangfeng Temple, Jinxian Gate, the museum, etc. So you can use this as a starting point to begin your Jieyang trip. The Jieyang Confucian Temple is one of the three major Confucian temples in Guangdong, and it's closed on Mondays!
～亮亮～Many travel guides for Jieyang recommended seeing the Yingge dance performance, so I specifically planned to go. The theater is quite a drive from the city center. It felt like the entire scenic area was set up for the Yingge dance performance; besides the theater, there wasn't much else to see. Arriving early, I had nothing to do but order a drink and wait. The area was deserted until it gradually started to get busier closer to the performance. Although the attendance wasn't high, the performance was still very entertaining; those interested should definitely check it out.
Anonymous userJinxian Gate is the spiritual landmark of Jieyang Ancient City. Originally built in the first year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty (1621), it is the only remaining city gate in the ancient city and a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. The architecture integrates a city gate, gate tower, and pavilion, featuring a three-story fir wood structure, an octagonal pyramidal roof, vermilion railings, green tiles, and upturned eaves, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Chaoshan architecture. In ancient times, it was known as "Qiaolou Xiaojiao" (literally "Watchtower at Dawn"), where the sound of the horn could be heard throughout the city at dawn, making it one of the eight ancient scenic spots of Jieyang. Having withstood four hundred years of wind and rain and witnessed urban changes, it still stands in the city center today, its red walls and black tiles blending seamlessly with the modern streetscape. It embodies the humanistic wish of "promoting virtuous scholars," is an auspicious gate in the hearts of Jieyang people, and a key window into understanding the history and culture of Chaoshan.
数羊小狗Jieyang Tower is a symbol and landmark cultural building of Jieyang City. Located at the eastern entrance of Jieyang City, at the junction of Jiedong District and Rongcheng District, adjacent to the Rongjiang River, it commands a strategic position at the gateway to Jieyang City via National Highway 206. Its history is relatively short, having been completed on December 6, 2010. It is a Han-style city gate tower, 130 meters wide and 39.3 meters high, characterized by its grand and robust style, fully showcasing elements of Han Dynasty palace architecture. The Jieyang Tower Square opposite the tower covers an area of over 300,000 square meters, with its main axis running east-west. To the east is Shengding Square, and to the west is the Jieyang Tower itself, which has five stories in total: two stories for the city platform and three stories for the tower itself. In front of the main tower stands a 9.99-meter-high, 58-ton bronze square ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), and a 136-ton Taishan stone symbolizing "broad spirit." Currently under renovation, the tower is inaccessible, but it's still a great place to take photos; the square is spacious and offers a comfortable view. Free parking is a plus.
一直在路上的猫The scenery at Huilai Binhe Bay Scenic Area is absolutely stunning, with clean, fine sand and a great viewing platform for taking pictures. It also features a children's play area, convenient parking, and is perfect for family outings. The sunset there is incredibly atmospheric and definitely worth a visit.
