Chaozhou Gourmet Check-in Edition
🤪Ever since I played the 'Flying Over Guangdong' attraction at the Sunac Park in Guangzhou, I've been incredibly attached to the Guangji Bridge 🤩
Today, I finally got to see the connection of those 18 boats
1⃣️ Guangji Bridge, one of the famous ancient bridges in China, has a middle section made up of 18 shuttle boats linked together to form a pontoon bridge that can open and close. When large ships or rafts need to pass, the pontoon boats in the middle can be disconnected to allow passage. There's a local saying: 'A trip to Guangdong is incomplete without visiting Chaozhou; a visit to Chaozhou is in vain without seeing the bridge.' So my trip was not in vain, as every day at 17:30, part of the boats in the middle section are moved aside to let the big ships through! Of course, I had to watch this before leaving, 🎫 tickets are 20 yuan per person, available upon arrival! The ticket also comes with a postcard, postage included, and I've already sent it back home and received it!
2⃣️📍Chaozhou Clay Pot Porridge, don't eat at the shops near the scenic area, they're not good at all. Walk a bit further to find food, obviously I ate near the scenic area, but then a kind young lady told me the above, friends, you'll have to search on your own
3⃣️📍Paifang Street, truly lives up to its reputation, walk all the way to the 'Number One Scholar' 🥇 archway at the end, endless archways, you must walk to the end! Walking down the street feels like Guangzhou's Shangxiajiu, haha, since I'm here, I've checked in!
4⃣️Try a Chaozhou tea drink: 📍'Xi Pian · Chao San Yi' Their tea jelly is very delicious, and they also offer express delivery! If you come to the ancient city, why not look for them? Here's the young lady I mentioned, she recommended to me where to find delicious clay pot porridge, want to know? Go find her, find her shop!
5️⃣Xima Road Snack Street
Super many snacks, and various internet-famous shops
✅ Cheap egg wine ✅ Kick peach ✅ Chaozhou fermented bean curd chicken wings ✅ Braised goose ✅ Licorice fruit🍉……
6️⃣Chaozhou West Lake
Near Xima Road, a local park, just stroll around
Additionally, there are many electric bicycles🚲 that need to be returned to designated locations. Once you reach Xima Road and the vicinity of the ancient city, you can't ride anymore, everyone please pay attention⚠️
Walking along the Linjiang Trail in the ancient city of Chaozhou, because it happened to be in the venue of the Spring Festival Gala, so I can only see it like this. One of the more interesting four ancient bridges can be seen by the way.
El puente Guangji (廣濟橋), construido en el 1.171, es uno de los cuatro puentes antiguos más famosos del país. En una misma estructura sobre el río Han, Guangji combina pontones sobre barcas, puente sobre arcos y puente sobre vigas. Sobre el mismo, hay 30 pabellones y muelles para barcos. En total, el puente Guanji cuenta con 18 partes diferentes en 518 metros, algunas de ellas fácilmente desmontables. Cada día, a las 5:30 de la tarde,, se retiran los pontones para permitir el tráfico de barcos y no se vuelven a colocar hasta las 10 de la mañana del día siguiente.
Guangji Bridge is located outside the east gate of the ancient city of Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, across the Han River, built in the Southern Song Dynasty Qiandao for seven years (1171), the length of 518 meters, is one of the four ancient bridges in China, and is now a national scenic spot. Guangji Bridge integrates beam bridges, floating bridges and arch bridges, making it the world's first open and closed bridge. The overall layout is the east bank bridge length 283.4 meters, the west bank bridge length 137.3 meters, and the middle 97.3 meters without a bridge, which is the Hanjiang navigation channel. At 10:00 a day, 18 shuttle boats are towed by barges to connect the two ends of the bridge, for tourists to buy tickets for two-way passage. At 17:30 every day, the connection is started to be dismantled again.
It is still worth going. It is said that it is one of the few ancient bridges in the country. I really admire the wisdom of ancient people. Parking is also convenient. It is smart parking. The air on the bridge is good. You can go one way or two ways. I think it is fun to go back and forth two ways. As long as you don’t have to go out of the ticket gate, There are many people on holidays. It is recommended to go to the experience of playing on non-holidays. The tickets are still cheap. After shopping, go to the ancient city to eat Chaoshan food. It is wonderful! [Cost-effective] [Fun] [View]
It was a worthwhile trip to speak clearly and meticulously
It's still very beautiful. I wanted to visit the bridge, but I went late. I couldn't buy a ticket to the bridge after five o'clock in the afternoon. I just looked outside the bridge, but it was still very beautiful and worth a visit. .
