Dongguan—Chaozhou—Shantou—Four Days Three Nights Travel Guide

Main transportation: Didi - Metro - High-speed Rail - Bus - Walking Hotel: In Chaozhou, it is recommended to stay near Paifang Street, and in Shantou, near Xiaogongyuan/Longyan South Road/Wanxiang City. 👆Day1: Didi - 20 minutes - to Tianbao Metro - 35 minutes - to Humen High-speed Rail Station - Exit D - Chaozhou Station go to Ticket Gate B (depart at 9:45) - more than 2 hours - Chaozhou Station (arrive in Chaozhou at 12:30) - follow the bus signs after exiting the station - find bus K2 express line and buy a ticket - Central Hospital (get off) depending on your hotel location - 40 minutes to the hotel - store luggage - 10 minutes walk - Abin Beef Hotpot (the first beef hotpot after getting off the high-speed rail) located in the tourist commercial street, not very cost-effective, saw Abin's advertisement after getting off the high-speed rail, tried it and found it mediocre. 👯After lunch, we strolled around Paifang Street, the commercial atmosphere is obvious🛍, passed by Guangji Tower, Kaiyuan Temple, crossed the road to Guangji Bridge, the bridge is dismantled every day, you can see the original form of 'crossing the river and dismantling the bridge', you need to buy a ticket to cross the bridge, ☀️it was too hot so we gave up crossing the bridge and went back to the hotel to check in. 🤗In the afternoon, we chose to order takeout at the hotel: Aunt Hua's Old Movie Juice Ice, Chao Tu Ji Fermented Bean Curd Chicken Wings, Banana Fruit Licorice Fruit, no disappointments, 🍧juice ice is delicious, 🍗chicken wings are crispy and well-marinated, licorice fruit is very fresh🍒 (recommended: peach, watermelon, green mango, local wax apple, etc.). 🍲For dinner, we originally chose A Rong Claypot Porridge which is within walking distance, but there was a queue, so we went to Pi Dan Di Claypot Porridge nearby, the shrimp and oysters were fresh, and there was beef ball soup made with a local bitter vegetable, paired with pickled vegetables and small oil cakes, absolutely delicious! ✌For breakfast on the second day, we went to A Chen Rice Noodles, there were too many people, waited for 10 minutes, not as good as online reviews, many varieties, the sauce for the rice noodles is peanut sauce with soy sauce, relatively special, the rice noodles are not thin, not very cost-effective. After breakfast, we strolled around nearby, randomly bought a bottle of oil plum juice, the owner was nice, the juice was delicious, refreshing, and had a sweet aftertaste. 🥩For lunch, we took a taxi to Guantang Brothers Beef Hotpot (main store), the driver said many locals go there, cost-effective, meat is freshly cut, fresh, finally beef freedom, so satisfying. Passed by Tai Buddha Hall, the driver said it has been built for thirty years, now finally popular, locals didn't know about this place, we didn't go because we don't like taking photos. 🚕After eating, we took a taxi to the Shantou hotel, taxi fare 90 yuan, 45 minutes journey, 10 yuan highway toll. Arrived just in time to check in, in the afternoon we strolled around Zhujiang Road near the hotel, found that the food street only opens at night. If you like late-night snacks, don't miss Zhujiang Road. 🚗Then took a taxi to Xiaogongyuan, good for photos, but also very commercial, continued walking to the Post Office Headquarters, then walked to Shantou Hostel, many people taking photos here, if you like taking photos, you can take photos all the way, if tired, take a taxi to the Square Ferry, 1 yuan per trip, 2 yuan round trip. If you choose the right time, you can see a beautiful sunset. If you are physically strong, you can walk to Queshi Park and take the cable car back. 🍤For dinner, took a taxi to Heji Seafood for dinner, ordered fried clams, fried crab, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, marinated goose intestines, plus a bottle of drink, total 240 yuan, cost-effective, seafood is fresh. Will come again next time, after eating took a taxi back to the hotel. 👌For breakfast on the third day, randomly ate downstairs, all rice noodle shops had queues, chose dim sum, still prefer Dongguan's dim sum. After eating, took a taxi to Longyan South Road Food Street, Chen Duo Hua Qing Bu Liang, Wei Shun Salted Egg Yolk, downstairs Fermented Bean Curd Chicken Wings... too many delicious foods, lunch can be settled here directly. 👭After eating, took a taxi back to the hotel for a nap, continued ordering licorice fruit, No. 12 Juice Strawberry Ice, 🌮dinner at Zhujiang Road Food Street, Yongyi Soy Milk, ordered Grand Slam 12 yuan, Small Pan Fried Oyster, small portion 25 yuan, Zhujiang Rice Noodles, beef rice noodles 9 yuan. Dinner just ate a little, too full at noon. 🖖On the fourth day, because the high-speed rail ticket was at 10 am, breakfast was ordered rice noodles, tomato beef fried rice noodles, ginger sweet potato egg soy milk outside the hotel, order based on reviews and pictures, won't be disappointed. ⛳️Summary: Chaozhou is ancient and quaint, Shantou is full of life. Personally prefer Chaozhou, the food is similar. Next time two days and one night is enough.
