[2025 Chaozhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Ancient City of Chaozhou (Updated Mar)

Chaozhou Ancient City has a history of over a thousand years. The buildings in the ancient city are mostly in Minnan and Chaoshan styles, with curved roofs, exquisite carvings, and vibrant colors, showcasing the local craftsmanship and cultural characteristics. The ancient city has its own charm both day and night. (Images 1-4) Paifang Street in Chaozhou is located in the old city area and is composed of 22 stone archways, each telling the stories of Chaozhou's historical heroes. Along Paifang Street, you can find intangible cultural heritage items such as ceramics, Chao embroidery, hand-pulled teapots, and Kung Fu tea. Various shops not only display traditional crafts but also offer a variety of delicious and authentic snacks. (Images 5-6) Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, is one of Chaozhou's landmarks and was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1988. Guangji Bridge consists of two stone beam bridges on the east and west sides and a floating bridge in the middle. There are 24 bridge pavilions on the stone beam bridges near the banks, each with its own unique style. The middle section of the bridge is a floating bridge connected by 18 boats, about 97 meters long, fixed with iron chains. It is usually used by citizens for walking. In case of floods or large ships needing to pass, the iron chains can be untied, making it very flexible. It was praised by the famous bridge expert Mao Yisheng as the world's earliest open-close bridge. The night light show on Guangji Bridge is officially named 'Light of Phoenix City' and is held every night. (Images 7-12) Must-eat in Chaozhou: Beef Hotpot, Raw Marinated Food, and my personal recommendation, Walnut Crisp. (Images 13-16)

It is not recommended to drive in the Chaozhou Ancient City, it is too congested, you can take a taxi.

⛰【Attractions Guide】 📍Detailed address: Chaozhou Ancient City, Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province 🚗Transportation strategy: Take the high-speed rail to Chaoshan Station, and then take a 30-minute taxi to the ancient city. If you drive yourself, you can find a place to park in the city first. There are fewer parking spaces in the area, so it will be quite congested. 🕙Opening hours: 6:00～00:00 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: • Archway Street: There are 22 Ming and Qing archways on the Nanyang Qilou Street that stretches for hundreds of meters. It is spectacular and unique, especially when it is lit up at night, it looks even better! • Guangji Bridge: An ancient bridge that can be opened and closed, it is composed of two sections of stone bridges connected by 18 wooden boats in the middle. The wooden boats will be removed for traffic at 5:30 pm and reinstalled for traffic at 10 am the next day.

It is very convenient for eating, drinking and having fun, and it is also convenient to go to other attractions. The Chao Hotel I stayed in was right at the entrance of Paifang Street. There were all kinds of food when I walked out the door, and Guangji Bridge was just a few steps away. The interior was really as trendy as the name, both technological and classical. You can have a panoramic view of the ancient city on the top floor. You can make tea and drink tea in the teahouse in the afternoon, and watch the light show while drinking a little wine in the evening. It was awesome! 📷About taking photos Whether it is day or night, the alleys of the ancient city are very distinctive and retain their original flavor. It is recommended to bring wide-angle and telephoto lenses to shoot different subjects. You can also rent or bring your own Hanfu, it’s great for taking photos in ancient style! Finally, a reminder that Chaoshan area has a strong culture of worshipping gods. When visiting, remember to respect local customs and do not blaspheme the gods.

Arrive at Chaoshan Station by high-speed rail, and take the K2 bus directly to Chaozhou Ancient City. The biggest feeling when you arrive in Chaozhou is that your stomach is not enough. Sashimi, pickles, clay pot porridge, rice noodles, beef hot pot, braised goose, herbal tea, it feels like it can't be arranged all at once. Even for eating, you have to stay at least two days, and you have to count the late-night snacks. Guangji Bridge is the focus of the trip to Chaozhou. The history of the bridge is needless to say. In order to understand the opening and closing of the bridge and the overall view in detail, you first need to take a long view on the Hanjiang Bridge. Choose the time before nine in the morning, at this time the bridge is not connected. After nine o'clock, the workers start to use the tugboat to drag the three floating boats docked on the side of the Han River to the center for connection.

[Hotel-Orange Hotel @ Chaozhou] Transportation: Chaoshan High-speed Railway Station>(K2 Bus) Chengnan Primary School Station>(Opposite the Station) Orange . We got off the train at Chaoshan High-speed Railway Station, transferred to bus K2, and got off at the station--Chengnan Primary School Station. As soon as we got off the bus and looked across the road, we saw Orange Hotel. It was super convenient. . The hotel is 6 stories high. The first floor is the lobby and reception, the second floor is the restaurant, fitness room, laundry service & guest rooms, and the third to sixth floors are guest rooms. I booked a double room, about 25-28 square meters. The room is mainly decorated in beige, dark green and orange colors, and is neatly decorated, making it look very comfortable. The small candies on the table, the hand soap, body soap, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom all smell like orange, which shows that this hotel has put a lot of thought into sticking to the hotel's theme (orange). What’s special about the room is that there is an intelligent voice control system, which is mainly connected to lights, TV, speakers, and air conditioners. Just call “Xiaodu Xiaodu + command (such as turn on the air conditioner)” in the room, and the intelligent voice control will execute the command according to your wishes. Very eye-opening and novel. . The reception staff are polite and helpful in answering guests' questions. Very good, like. . The lobby provides free coffee, hot water, orange lemonade, orange gummies and green oranges to guests. It is nice to take a short break in the spacious, bright and exquisite lobby. . Since the hotel was offering a $48+1=$49 breakfast for two people promotion, we decided to enjoy the breakfast service for two days in the hotel. There are two types of breakfast, Chinese and Western. The Western style is the very common milk, French fries, and toast, needless to say, but the Chinese style also offers local food: rice noodles and bergamot juice, as well as hand-slapped cucumbers, slightly spicy preserved eggs, and freshwater sea bass pieces. It is richer than I expected. . #Orange Hotel #Chaozhou Ancient City .

Hey! Would you like to hear me tell you about my wonderful experience of three days and two nights trip to Chaozhou? Don’t worry, I’m just writing from my heart and will present it to you in the most vivid and interesting way! First, we took the high-speed railway train to Chaoshan Station, and then went to Shipaotai Park. Here are the remains of ancient coastal defense artillery positions, which can make you feel the hardships of coastal defense in those days. Next, we came to the "Small Park Arcade Building Complex" in the old district of Shantou, where there are buildings with a long history, the most famous of which is Shitong Street. Here you can taste authentic Chaoshan street food, which tastes super good! However, this is not the best part. During afternoon tea, we tasted the "Iced Mung Bean Dessert" that every Chaoshan person loves. It is a super refreshing ice product that you must not miss when you come to Chaozhou in summer. Next, we came to Longhu Ancient Village, where the oldest ancient buildings from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are preserved. You can appreciate the ancient architectural style. This is a tourist attraction with great cultural value. On the second day, we came to the thousand-year-old "Chaozhou Ancient City", where the ancient city walls and gates are preserved, and you can also take a sightseeing bus to tour the entire ancient city. It feels like traveling back to ancient times. In the evening, we were specially arranged to watch a Teochew opera performance and enjoy Chaoshan Kung Fu tea. We had a wonderful time watching the performance while tasting tea and snacks. On the last day, we came to Chaozhou Old Street, which has an antique architectural style that makes people feel like they have traveled back to ancient times. The Guangji Tower and Kaiyuan Temple are buildings of great historical value, while Zhuangyuan Archway Street and Xiangzi Bridge, one of the four famous bridges in China, are famous tourist attractions. Finally, we came to the Chenghai Little Forbidden City, the "Chen Cihuang Former Residence", which is a typical Chaoshan building that combines Chinese and Western architectural styles and is very distinctive. In general, the trip to Chaozhou is full of culture and history, as well as delicious food and refreshing ice products, which are unforgettable. If you want to experience the feeling of traveling back to ancient times, Chaozhou must be a very good choice! #Sign up for hotel test sleeper

Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, was first built in 1171 AD during the Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 800 years. It is the first opening and closing bridge in China and the world. It is known as one of the four ancient bridges in China together with Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei, Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou, and Lugou Bridge in Beijing. The Guangji Bridge is located above the Han River and has a very unique design. There are stone piers on both sides, as well as exquisite pavilions and towers. In the middle are 18 ancient floating bridges connected together. Walking on the floating bridges is a very magical feeling. Every evening, in order to allow cargo ships to pass, the pontoon bridge will be retracted, and you can watch the scene of "crossing the river and dismantling the bridge". The night view and the light show every night are also very beautiful. #ChaozhouCulture #Appreciate the historical buildings of the ancient city #Chaozhou Ancient City

Chaozhou, also known as “Phoenix City,” is located in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. It is a national historical and cultural city with a rich history and cultural heritage. The ancient city, renowned for its unique blend of Minnan, Hakka, Cantonese, and Chaoshan cultures, boasts abundant historical relics and exquisite ancient architectural complexes. Covering an area of approximately 3 square kilometers, it features a well-preserved layout with over 720 meticulously arranged streets and alleys, along with a large number of ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, Chaozhou Ancient City has served as the administrative center for successive prefectures and is the birthplace of “Chaoshan Culture” worldwide. It enjoys the reputation of being a “famous prefecture in the Lingnan region” and the “coastal Zoulu.” Chaozhou Ancient City adopts the historical spatial pattern of “curved exterior, square interior, four horizontal and three vertical.” Initially built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the ancient city has a long history and profound cultural heritage. It houses a large number of well-preserved ancient buildings and historical sites, which not only hold significant historical value but also showcase the wisdom and artistic talents of the ancient Chaozhou people. The residential building complexes in Chaozhou Old Town exhibit a distinct structure in their layout, primarily composed of basic elements of Chaozhou dwellings such as the main courtyard, side houses, fire lanes, rear enclosures, studies, and gardens. Different combinations reflect the social backgrounds of the homeowners, including civil and military officials, scholars, and wealthy merchants, showcasing their diverse lifestyles. The main buildings, courtyards, and decorations of these complexes remain largely intact, embodying the essence of traditional Chinese architectural techniques and arts and crafts, and serving as exemplary models of traditional Chaozhou residences. Within this architectural complex, the predominant building style is the “four-point gold” layout, resembling a “four-horse carriage.” The wooden structures, doors, windows, roof ridges, and eaves are adorned with exquisite and intricate decorations such as gold-lacquered wood carvings, stone carvings, plasterwork, porcelain inlay, and colorful paintings. In addition to the residential building complexes in Chaozhou Old Town, Chaozhou Ancient City also features Guangji Bridge, the world's earliest open-and-close bridge; Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple, built in the 26th year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (738 AD); and the Ji Lue Huanggong Ancestral Hall, a representative of ancestral hall architecture from the late Qing Dynasty in Chaozhou. Chaozhou Ancient City maintains its historical spatial pattern of “curved exterior, square interior, four horizontal and three vertical.” Rich in cultural relics, it boasts nine major national cultural heritage sites with 22 individual points. Ancient memorial archways, mansions, and residential houses are scattered throughout the city. It preserves a large number of Ming and Qing dynasty residential buildings and ancestral halls with distinctive Chaozhou characteristics, highlighting their significant cultural value. The city's unique Chaozhou dialect, Chaozhou music, Chaozhou opera, Chaozhou woodcarving, Chaozhou Gongfu tea, and Chaozhou cuisine, along with a series of traditional customs and folkways with cultural characteristics, have been passed down through generations and are hailed by sinologists as “living fossils of ancient Chinese culture.”
