A beautiful historical and cultural museum by the sea in Chaoshan: a travel guide

🏮When traveling to a city, I always choose to visit the local museum. When I visited Shantou and encountered a heavy rain, I decided to visit the museum. This is a museum facing the sea. The architectural design of the museum is full of Chaoshan elements, combining gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. 🏮In the first-floor lobby, there is a 1:1 scale model of a 'Red Head Boat', promoting the spirit of the 'Red Head Boat'. The flowing corridors on both sides are perfect for taking photos. There are five floors in total where you can fully understand the history and traditional culture of Chaoshan, 🔸Chaoshan Overseas Chinese Museum 🔸Shantou Art Museum 🔸Shantou City Planning Exhibition Hall 🔸Famous Collection Exhibition Hall 🔸Chaoshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall If you don't have enough time, you can go directly to the 5th floor's Intangible Cultural Heritage Hall, which is very worth visiting. There are wood carvings, inlaid porcelain, Chaoshan embroidery, opera stages, ancestral halls, traditional cultural activities, and Chaoshan cuisine, etc. The treasure of the museum is the long scroll of Chinese painting 'Chaoshan Scenic Map'. The most impressive thing is the wood carving, which is known for its full, complex, exquisite, transparent, and brilliant features, and is known as one of China's 'Four Famous Carvings'. You can take photos of the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. You can visit for half a day, and you can also collect stamps at the museum. You can buy a Chaoshan Museum passport and stamp it, a total of 8 stamps. Opening hours: Tuesday-Sunday 9:00-17:00 Tickets: Free, no reservation required, just swipe your ID card to enter. The underground parking lot charges 8 yuan
