I've made a super detailed Chaozhou travel guide after two days and a night of planning!

Chaozhou, my beloved! I've done my homework for this trip📜, covering all aspects from dining and entertainment to accommodation and photography💯! I even got help from local foodies for the best advice, so everyone can go with confidence! 🚅 Transportation: It takes only 73 minutes from Xiamen Station to Chaoshan Station, with a ticket price of 95 yuan. After getting off the train, exit from the south exit and take a taxi to Chaozhou ancient city from the online car-hailing area, which costs about 50-60 yuan. Due to recent road construction, there might be detours, and the journey takes about half an hour. 🏠 Accommodation: I chose the Qu She Zhi Jian Inn located around Chaozhou ancient city, which is affordable and very quiet. 🐂 First meal: The Guantang Pengxiang Beef Hotpot at the south gate of Paifang Street, with freshly cut beef at reasonable prices. The brisket, tender meat, and marbled cuts are all so delicious that they'll make you scream! 🍱 Afternoon: Stroll around Paifang Street and taste various local snacks, like Huilai's mung bean cakes, Lao Bing Qi Cong Song's licorice fruits, Lao Xi Yuan's scallion sugar pancakes, Changyuan Qi Ji, and the Xima fish dumplings - a Chaozhou specialty snack made by hand, both the fish dumplings and fish noodles are so tasty~ 🦆 Dinner: The Xi Chao sand pot porridge on Lvyong North Road, the seafood porridge cooked in the ancient method is super delicious, both fresh and sweet! And their various stir-fried dishes are also delicious, full of wok hei~ 🎁 Souvenirs: The Chaozhou Four Treasures from Sanjia Specialties, with beautifully packaged boxes, look great for photos📸 and check-ins, and their Dancong tea is quite good, with the honey orchid fragrance highly recommended to buy~ 🤩 Overall, Chaozhou is a great place to visit with family and friends, and the locals are very warm and hospitable. There are many attractions to visit and the cost of living is moderate. Come and experience the charm of this city!
