Exploring Chaozhou i

Exploring Chaozhou is definitely not your everyday China trip—this city is all about authentic vibes, fresh air, and a serious dose of history. 🌳🕌 If you want something unusual and memorable, this is the place! Top Spots to Visit in Chaozhou 1. Guangji Bridge Address: Huancheng East Road, Xiangqiao District Opening Hours: 09:00–17:30 (weekends Feb–Oct) / 10:00–17:30 (weekdays Nov–Jan) / 10:00–16:30 (weekdays) Admission Fee: ¥20 This iconic bridge isn’t just a gorgeous photo-op—it’s a living piece of Chaozhou’s past. Take time to walk across, soak up the fresh air, and enjoy how airy it feels compared to busy mainland hotspots. Tip: Arrive earlier in the day for more peaceful views and fewer crowds! 2. Ancient City of Chaozhou Address: Xiangqiao District Open: All day, year-round Admission Fee: ¥10 Wander these old streets and you’ll get that real, unfiltered Chaozhou atmosphere. There’s plenty of local color, unique architecture, and photogenic little corners. If you want great historical and authentic feels, this is where you’ll get them. Getting Around Chaozhou is best explored on foot—especially in the old town! Local buses and taxis are easy for getting between sights. Bring comfy shoes and hydrate (the air’s fresh but the sun can be strong). Food Recommendations Be sure to eat Chaozhou beef hotpot or traditional snacks in the old city. Small local restaurants often have the best flavor and friendliest vibes. Quick Tips Cash is handy for admissions. The weather is mild most of the year—spring and autumn are perfect for fresh air and outdoor strolls. #chaozhouhistory #hiddenchina #traveltips #ancientvibes
