Chaozhou Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Chaozhou Ancient City
Arrive at Chaoshan Station by high-speed rail, and take the K2 bus directly to Chaozhou Ancient City. The biggest feeling when you arrive in Chaozhou is that your stomach is not enough. Sashimi, pickles, clay pot porridge, rice noodles, beef hot pot, braised goose, herbal tea, it feels like it can't be arranged all at once. Even for eating, you have to stay at least two days, and you have to count the late-night snacks. Guangji Bridge is the focus of the trip to Chaozhou. The history of the bridge is needless to say. In order to understand the opening and closing of the bridge and the overall view in detail, you first need to take a long view on the Hanjiang Bridge. Choose the time before nine in the morning, at this time the bridge is not connected. After nine o'clock, the workers start to use the tugboat to drag the three floating boats docked on the side of the Han River to the center for connection. The process is very fast and it takes about 15 minutes to connect. After five o'clock in the evening, the floating boats are disassembled and towed to one side to dock. There is a light show at eight o'clock in the evening, the lights are very bright, which complements the majesty of Guangji Bridge.
Chaoshan Ancient City
Chaoshan Ancient City. What can I say about this amazing area of Chaoshan. The streets blooming with business. Lots of shops to buy souvenirs and cultural artifacts. The street food, the best! Delicious street food to fill your stomach! Let’s not forget the delicious drinks being sold on, traditional drinks for you to try. This area is the best place to be. Lots to do and lots to see. Head out there during the nighttime. You will love every second of it. #newyearadventure

Guangji Bridge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
An ancient bridge in Guangdong has become popular, it is open during the day and splits into two at night
The scenes of relatives leaving and lovers separating often occur at the ferry crossing by the bridge. Standing at the head of the bridge, seeing the separation of relatives, it is inevitable to feel a sense of sorrow, and these strands of sorrow and bits of resentment have been transformed into beautiful texts and magnificent poems by literati, which are recited by people and add an artistic atmosphere to these ancient bridges. Today, let's walk into the Guangji Bridge, located opposite the Guangjimen City Tower on Huancheng East Road in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and see what different sceneries there are here. Although there are many similar ancient bridges in our country, the Guangji Bridge hidden in Guangdong is open during the day and splits into two at night, opening and closing for more than 800 years! Guangji Bridge, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was built in the seventh year of Song Qiandao (1171 AD) and has a long history. Not only that, but it is also worth mentioning that it is also known as one of the 'Four Ancient Bridges of China' along with Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge. The surface of the Guangji Bridge is antique, the bridge spans the Han River, and combines beam bridges, arch bridges, and pontoon bridges into one, with a very special structure, which can be called a unique example in the history of bridges in our country.
Guang Ji Bridge
The Guang Ji Bridge in Han Jiang River. Another location to venture to. The Guangji bridge is a magnificent sight. The bridge is a fun place to take pictures and see the beauty of the Han Jiang River. The fun part of the bridge is the boat crossing. Hold on tight! Haha. The bridge was built to help merchants cross the river safely. While walking across the river, take lots of pictures and enjoy the wonderful architectural design. Enjoy the bridge. I highly recommend it. #newyearadventure
Lights, Camera, Action - Chaozhou Light Show
Chaozhou is a historical Guangdong city in the north east of the province near Shantou. There is an old saying “If you haven’t been to Chaozhou, you haven’t really been to Guangdong”.
It’s also a foodies heaven! But more about another day!
The Guangji bridge is one of China’s most greatest creations in bridge history. The middle part of the bridge is made of 18 parallel pontoon boats.
During the day you can walk along the bridge to the other side - as long as no boats are coming through, when you will see them takeaway the boats in the middle to let big boats through!
✨At nighttime, the Guangxi bridge is also home to mysterious light show - usually at 8pm and 9pm.
If you go to Chaozhou, it’s definitely worth staying overnight to enjoy the light show as well as the extensive food and tea culture - which all come out at night!
📍Guangji bridge is located at the Han riverside
💰 it’s free to watch the light show (To go on the bridge during the day is around 20-30rmb depending on ticket type)

Chaozhou (Teochew) is an excellent place to spend a weekend.
The most famous sight in Chaozhou is the Guangji Bridge 广济桥, partly consisting of stone towers with a pontoon section in the middle that can be opened by moving the wooden boats. The extant bridge is a modern reconstruction of the ancient original, but it looks convincing. It's a little bit dear to cross, but the ticket itself is a postage-paid postcard.
The old city of Chaozhou retains its ancient wall on the river side, which makes a nice spot for a stroll.
Visit the picturesque West Lake, 西湖, and then walk along Zhongshan Road towards the river to see many workshops where the traditional art of Chaozhou woodcarving is still practised. The temples and ancestral halls in the old town are richly decorated with such carving.
Finally, stroll along the century-old main street marked by dozens of memorial arches and try some tasty street food or buy some locally made satay sauce to take home.
Several trains a day go from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Chaoshan Station, from where you can get a bus to Chaozhou itself. Chaozhou is not very big, so you can easily visit it and neighbouring Shantou (Swatow) in a weekend.

Archway Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
A one-day tour of Chaozhou with me guarantees no dining mishaps
A one-day foodie itinerary in Chaozhou:
Departing from Xiamen, Chaozhou Station is your first stop, just an hour's drive away.
🚗 Take a taxi straight to Guantang Brothers Beef Hotpot (main store), where the hotpot is really delicious! Highly recommended! The average cost per person is over 70 yuan, the beef is tender and fragrant, and you must visit the main store!
🏯 Next, head to the Thai Buddha Temple, dress up in ancient costumes for a photo shoot📸 A wonderful experience for just 40 yuan for a costume rental.
🛵 Then take a 15 yuan trishaw across the river to Paifang Street; the 'Qicong Song Licorice Fruit' at the entrance of Paifang Street is the tastiest, you can't go wrong choosing it! It's much cheaper than in Xiamen and even more delicious!
🚲 Ride an electric tricycle to tour the ancient city of Chaozhou, 40 yuan per person on average. You can visit more distant attractions, stop whenever you want, and get explanations: visit Jia Di Alley to see the mansion of a top official; make a prayer at the ancient Kouchi Temple, wash your hands in the ancient well for clear vision; visit the Fuma Mansion (super photogenic at the entrance); then ride back to Paifang Street.
🍽 Randomly find a small shop along the way to try the Fucheng fermented tofu chicken wings➕ Lao Wei Almond Tea, a bit regretful, ate too much, should have saved some room for dinner.
🍵 Take a walk to Guangji Tower, to see the Guangji Bridge; afterwards, visit Tianyuan Temple, and nearby 'Tianshan Chaoming' to drink authentic Chaozhou Kungfu tea, the peach-flavored tea is so delicious! An entire afternoon and you'll feel completely relaxed!
🦀 Finally, head to 'Yuan Dan Wine Ingredients', recommended by local friends as the best raw marinated shop, and indeed they were right, the raw marinated crab paste is only a hundred yuan or so, and it's incredibly tasty! Then, take away food from the nearby 'Xikou Liu Bu Goose Meat Shop', have porridge with goose meat and goose liver, oh my, so tender and fragrant!
🍊 Buy a cup of fresh squeezed kumquat juice at the intersection, then take a taxi to the high-speed train station to go home. The high-speed train at seven something arrives in Xiamen at eight something.
For friends with limited free time, such a one-day round trip is perfect! Although it's only an hour's drive, it's actually a cross-provincial trip! Got to eat everything I wanted! Saw everything I wanted to see! Perfect!

In Chaozhou, you can always satisfy the taste buds with food.

🚅 About transportation
Take the high-speed train to Chaoshan Station, come out and take a 30-minute car to the ancient city;
If you drive by yourself, it is recommended to find a place to park in the city first, there are fewer parking spaces in the ancient city, and it will be more congested
Longhu Ancient Village, it's worth a visit!
Today, I'm here to share with you my adventure in Longhu Ancient Village. 🌟✈️
At first, I was full of anticipation for this trip, but it was full of twists and challenges. The parking lot was set up a kilometer away, and a lady mislead me that it was only a hundred meters away, which made me feel a bit overwhelmed. 😱🚗
However, when I stepped into the village gate, everything became interesting. On both sides were dense shops of all colors, selling snacks and specialties as tempting as Chaozhou ancient city. Although I was a bit disappointed at first, I then found a small alley full of red lanterns, so I decided to follow my feelings and go in. 😉🍔
In the alley, I saw rows of ancient houses, a bit like Jiaji Alley in Chaozhou ancient city, but more spacious and open, the direction of the alley also has some curvature, as if it reminded me of the memory of Wuyuan Xiaolikeng. Although there is no lively small bridge and flowing water, they all have similar beauty. 🏰📸
Fang Bo's house and the scholar's house are the essence of the ancient village. Although these old houses are dilapidated and uninhabited, the lanterns in front of the door are shaking, but the outlines of the murals are still clearly visible, firmly showing the traces of history. Time is ruthless, but the traces it leaves still make people respect. 🎭⏳
I deeply love ancient buildings, because they are the carriers of history, as if connected with the past. Walking out of the alley, there are towering ancient trees and clear lake water in front of me, the bridge stands tall, and the girls in ethnic costumes on the bridge add a touch of vitality and beauty. Just like the traditional concept of unity of heaven and man, here integrates the rural scenery, bringing me peace and joy. 🌳🌾🌌
Back to the main street and heading south, the shops gradually disappear, allowing me to see the ancestral halls of several prominent families. Among them, the Xu family ancestral hall is the most magnificent, which also reminds me of the descendants of Xu Fuma in Chaozhou city and the Xu family in Longhu have a lot of family origins. This sense of history is really moving! 🏯🌸
When I walked to the south gate, I was greeted by the magnificent Tianhou Palace, the banyan tree covered the sky, and the incense of Mazu was still prosperous. 🌿🙏🔆
In a snack shop full of cooking awards, I tasted a plate of gold medal fried noodles, which actually added sesame and white sugar, the taste is unique and surprising. Then, I also tasted the tender red peach cake, potato cake and vegetable dumplings. What's different is that the boss lady fried it with oil, which makes it more delicious, and with duck shit fragrant tea, it's unforgettable. My taste buds were simply healed! 🍜🍡🌶️
There are many cafes on the main street here, but for me, the most atmospheric one is not far south of the Xu family ancestral hall. Because there are no other shops, it shows a more refined taste. Old house, low square table, small bamboo chair, this is the most comfortable place to drink a cup of special fruit coffee. It's really worth the trip! ☕️🍏
Finally, I bought two red clay cup mats in the style of red peach cakes in a shop selling ceramic bowls and cups, and the trip was successfully concluded. I left Longhu Ancient Village with joy and harvest, and made up my mind to set foot on this beautiful place again. 🥰🎁👣
If you also like ancient buildings and traditional culture, then a trip to Longhu Ancient Village will definitely not disappoint you! Whether it's the charm of history or the attraction of nature, it will refresh you. So, take some time and take a walk! 💖✨
The courtyard is deep, how deep it is
Authentic thousand-year-old village~ Numerous ancestral halls, deep courtyards, a concentration of historical culture. 'Chaozhou Cuò, the palace rises', refers to the rich colors and grandeur of the mansions here. The door plaques and side wall paintings of each courtyard, although the colors are no longer bright, but the flowers, insects, birds, beasts, and human stories are still vivid. Occasionally passing by an open courtyard, you can see the carefully tended flowers and plants in the patio, and the Chaoshan people who are burning wood to make porridge, listening to opera and drinking tea inside. It's really a fine painting of Chaoshan people's life! Here history and the present, desolation and prosperity collide and intertwine! Selected as one of the top ten most beautiful villages in Guangdong!
Where to go for the holiday? Go to Longhu Ancient Village, Chaoan District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province
Longhu Ancient Village is one of the ten most beautiful ancient villages in Guangdong, located next to the embankment road in Longhu Town, Chaoan District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, on the bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Han River. The area is about 1.5 square kilometers, founded in the Song Dynasty, surrounded by the village in the Ming Dynasty, prosperous in the Qing Dynasty, witnessing the historical changes from the agricultural era to the commercial era in the Chaoshan area. The "Three Streets and Six Lanes" in Longhu Ancient Village are densely packed with ancient houses and ancestral halls, and the building group is distributed in a belt. There are more than 100 clan ancestral halls, famous official residences and merchant rich men's mansions in the village, among which the more famous ones are "Fang Bo's House", "Jinshi's House", "Tan Hua Mansion", "Embroidered Clothes House", "Xu Clan Ancestral Hall", "Longhu Academy", "Tianhou Palace" and so on. These ancient buildings have gathered the essence of Chaozhou folk crafts such as wood carving, stone carving, shell carving, porcelain inlay, painting, and shell ash sculpture. The facade decoration of each residence is heavy, and the door lintel, door plaque, couplet, side wall are mostly painted with folk color paintings; the door frame, column beam, column base, railing, steps, etc. are all carved with stone, and they like to use stone drums, auspicious beasts, lions, etc. It can be called a "Mansion Culture Museum", which reflects the different architectural styles of the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing historical periods.
