Spent half a day playing around the ancient city of Chaozhou√

Who knows! Because 'Du Sui Rui' is really powerful, we canceled tonight's Chaozhou homestay and the subsequent itinerary 55555 But unexpectedly, we almost finished playing in Chaozhou in half a day We went straight to the ancient city of Chaozhou at noon, and parked the car at the foot of the city wall (maybe because we went early, we could still find a spot! In the evening when we drove, we found out that it was free! No wonder the snack bar owner said parking outside was free, I scanned my phone many times and it kept showing no record! Hahaha, the joy of freeloading 1 Because it was quite hot at noon, the snack bar owner said Kaiyuan Temple was cool, so we went there first. It is said that Kaiyuan Temple is very efficacious 2 Then we strolled around Paifang Street (actually, all the scenic spots in the ancient city are connected, with roads leading in all directions, you can just wander around) Lots of snacks! Oh right, we bought a lot of bottles of oil mandarin juice, really cheap, most of them 5 yuan per bottle, super healthy! Sweet aftertaste! Cooling and refreshing! Because it was too hot, we went to a dessert shop and had some, ordered turtle jelly and duck mother twist, it was just so-so, not the tasty kind of dessert, not recommended~ Then after 4 pm, we went to Guangji Building and Guangji Bridge, there were too many people on the bridge and it was very sunny, so we didn't go up, just looked at Guangji Bridge by the river~ (it's cooler with the shade of trees~) There are many sellers of autumn pear cream and luohan fruit drinks, reasonably priced, refreshing and tasty~4 Near Guangji Building, there are many tricycles offering tours of the eight scenic spots of Chaozhou ancient city, priced at 100/car (a car should fit up to three people at most! One person has to sit facing backwards) I, adhering to the principle of saving where I can, tried to bargain and successfully got it down to 70 yuan, then the three of us happily Took a tricycle ride around the ancient city! Our driver was a local from Chaozhou He was very honest and gave a detailed introduction, highly recommended! Because we went late, most of the scenic spots were closed, we could only take a quick look at the entrance Special reminder: the tricycle has a fixed route, it will take you to a place selling Chaozhou's three treasures, but it's okay if many don't buy anything, we just happened to want to buy so we bought a little) As for the duration of the whole tricycle ride, I feel it's about an hour? But this depends on how long you spend at the scenic spots and the speed of the tricycle. Overall, the tricycle experience was great! 5 After the tricycle ride, the end point was near Kaiyuan Temple, we walked to Xima Road to eat snacks~ Had fermented tofu chicken wings, salty rice cake, almond tea, rice cake, peach cake, phoenix tofu, oyster pancake, seaweed beef ball soup, sticky rice pork intestine, etc., didn't specifically look for shops, just bought from the ones with more people, emmm it was just okay, nothing amazing, maybe I'm just not very sensitive to this kind of food~ But it's still worth a try 6 Finally, we went to see the night view of Guangji Building, it was great! There were many stalls selling lanterns and hairpins, lanterns were basically 5-15 yuan, not sure about the hairpins, pretty cute~ (Oh right! When we were on the city wall, it suddenly started pouring rain, many people didn't bring umbrellas, the shops below immediately broadcasted: Selling raincoats and umbrellas! But it was just a shower, stopped after about ten minutes~) 7 Because we had to rush back to Xiamen, we didn't see the light show of Guangji Bridge~ But we saw the night view of Guangji Bridge!
