Overlooking the stunning river view while enjoying the comfort of home

On this trip to Chaozhou, I stayed at the Bund Premium Apartment (Tengrui Bund Bay Branch) and truly discovered a gem💎! You can overlook the breathtaking river view and enjoy the comfort of home, with excellent value for money. I sincerely want to recommend it to all friends coming to Chaozhou~ 🌉 River View Lovers Rejoice • The location is perfect! Right on Dongxing South Road at Tengrui Bund Bay, in the same building as the Crowne Plaza Hotel, but much more affordable • Highly recommend choosing a high-floor river view room; the Guangji Bridge light show plays right outside the window, so you can watch the night view sitting comfortably without the crowds • The duplex layout is perfect for families, equipped with a washing machine and kitchen, feels like having a home in Chaozhou 🏯 Super Convenient for Exploring the Ancient City • Just a 10-minute walk to Paifang Street, super convenient for checking off local foods like beef balls, rice noodles, and fermented bean curd cakes • A 5-minute taxi ride to Kaiyuan Temple, and going early in the morning helps avoid crowds • The host thoughtfully provides a hand-drawn map marking local hidden gem snack shops ✨ Detail Lover’s Notes • The 24-hour online host is super reliable! When we wanted licorice fruit late at night, the guy recommended a place that even delivers • Automatic curtains + smart toilets, facilities newer than many five-star hotels • Only minor downside: there’s a bar downstairs, so light sleepers might want a room facing away from the street 📸 Photo Tips 1. Take silhouette shots by the floor-to-ceiling window at dusk, with the river reflecting the sunset—super dreamy 2. Shoot from above the spiral staircase in the duplex room to make your legs look extra long 3. The Tengrui Center building complex downstairs has a strong geometric aesthetic; wear solid colors for an Instagram-worthy shoot 💡 Practical Tips • Money-saving hack: off-season weekend rates are just 400+ RMB, and booking early might get you a room upgrade • Free parking! A blessing for self-driving travelers • Check the light show schedule (currently at 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM every night) • Recommend ordering takeout from “Old Cat Beef Hotpot,” which tastes more local than the popular spots The biggest surprise this time was realizing you don’t need to stay in expensive hotels to have an excellent experience~ Spend the day exploring and eating in the ancient city, then come “home” at night to watch the river view. This is the right way to enjoy the slow life in Chaozhou!

Ancient City of Chaozhou

A three-day, two-night slow tour of the ancient city of Chaozhou in Shantou Day 1: Arrive in Shantou and set off leisurely After arriving in Shantou in the morning, stay at the Crest Homestay, located near the small park, quiet environment, walking distance from the small park, perfect for a slow trip with mother. In the afternoon, head to the Spring Merri Goose Meat Shop Forty-Seven Years Head Office for an authentic lunch, tasting the tender and juicy goose meat, goose intestines, but the other small dishes are just matching and can not be tried. After lunch, begin a relaxing tour of attractions. First, take a walk in the small park to feel the historical atmosphere of the old neighborhood; the classical buildings of Shantou Hotel, Shantou Post Office Building, Nansheng Trading Company and so on are the focus of taking pictures. In the evening, we have hot pot in Wanxiang City. The main focus is on stewed soup. Each person has one stove. Each person chooses his or her own taste. Beef and fish balls are highly recommended. Day 2: Cultural tour of Chaozhou ancient city Enjoy a cha-fan breakfast at the hotel in the morning to easily start your day. First, visit the Shantou Museum to learn about the local history and culture. The historical exhibition of early Chaoshan is rich in content, and it is not tiring to visit easily. Then call a car to the ancient city of Chaozhou, due to poor weather, Guangji Bridge is only half open, then visit Guangji Building and Kaiyuan Temple, beautiful architecture, and ancient city food street, taste the local snacks, slowly enjoy. Dinner is settled at Chao Guang Kee Casserole Porridge. Day 3: Adjust the itinerary for a perfect ending Due to bad weather, the planned trip to South Australia Island was cancelled. We took a slow trip in Shantou city instead. In the morning, head to Longan South Food Street to taste local specialty snacks, then revisit the small park and visit the century-old temple Guan Gong Temple; Enjoy seafood stir-fry at Heng On Fish Shop for lunch. Return to Hong Kong by high-speed rail at the right time in the afternoon, ending the three-day slow tour perfectly.
