[2025 Jieyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Xuegong (Updated Apr)

Many people don't know that Jieyang belongs to the Chaoshan area. Before Shantou opened its port, this place was always called the Chaojie area. ⛱️Must-visit attractions: Jieyang Confucian Temple: Free. The red walls of the Confucian Temple are very eye-catching and make an excellent photography backdrop. The architecture is very beautiful, with red walls and green tiles, full of ancient charm. Photography enthusiasts should not miss Jinxianguan Gate. As the name suggests, it is a city gate tower, and together with the pair of stone lions and old banyan tree in front, it has become a small park in the middle of the road. Jieyang City God Temple, free, is located near the Jieyang Confucian Temple. It is currently the oldest, largest, and best-preserved ancient City God Temple building in Guangdong Province. Jieyang Shuangfeng Temple | Free. A place of tranquility for the soul. Red walls and yellow tiles, flying eaves and dougong, every detail showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture. It looks beautiful when lit up at night. Zhongshan Road: Nanyang-style arcade street, many local shops, now also has cafes, specialty fridge magnets, dessert shops, the best place to stroll! De'anli It is the largest, best-preserved, and longest-standing giant mansion-style architectural complex in the Chaoshan area, and a rare mansion-style ancient village in China. Binhe Bay Tourist Area Huilai's "Little Sanya". The sand on the beach is fine and white, the scenery is breathtaking, and there is also the ancient Tianhou Temple. Huangmanzhai Waterfall in Jiexi: Adult ticket 85 yuan. The secret place of Jiexi, full of negative ions, is simply a gift from nature! The waterfall pours down like a silver chain, and occasionally you can see a rainbow in the mist under the sunlight! Huanglong Temple, free The biggest highlight is the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall built at the back of the temple, which looks very similar to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing from the outside, no wonder it is called the "Little Temple of Heaven in Chaoshan". 🌄Travel Tips: I recommend two of my favorite routes 1. Jiexi County, natural beauty Depart from Shenzhen → Lunch: Lei Tea → Huangmanzhai Waterfall → Huanglong Temple → Dinner in Hepo Town: Funiu Farmhouse Restaurant (delicious) The local specialty for dinner is bitter bamboo shoots, very bitter but very special! 2.

Jieyang Impressions: Encounter a Slow-Paced Slice of Life From the moment I stepped off the train, Jieyang welcomed me with open arms. There were no bustling crowds, only the vibrant atmosphere of daily life. Strolling through the streets, I saw elderly folks leisurely sipping tea and chatting at their doorsteps, and children playing and laughing. These authentic scenes transported me back to the old streets of my childhood memories. Every weathered stone slab, every old arcade, whispered stories of the city's rich past. Every photo I took was filled with a sense of history. It's a street photographer's paradise. 2.

The red walls, yellow tiles, carved beams, and painted rafters are a testament to the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. Here, you can immerse yourself in the Confucian culture and listen to the echoes of history. Then there's the Former Residence of Ding Richang, a prominent official of the late Qing Dynasty. His former residence is steeped in history. Walking through it, I could almost picture Ding Richang living and working there. The exhibits and architectural style offer valuable insights into that era. For history buffs, this place is a treasure trove of knowledge. 3. Food Paradise: A Culinary Journey Through Jieyang A trip to Chaoshan wouldn't be complete without indulging in its cuisine.

The soft, glutinous rice sheets are paired with braised pork, pig intestines, dried tofu, and other ingredients, then drizzled with a rich gravy. It's the perfect way to kickstart your day. For lunch, you must try Jieyang beef hot pot. Freshly sliced beef with distinct marbling is swirled in boiling bone broth for a few seconds, dipped in *shacha* sauce, and savored. The tender, juicy beef is simply irresistible. Don't miss the Puning dried tofu. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's served with a special brine. One bite and the aroma of beans fills your mouth. This simple yet exquisite delicacy can only be found in Jieyang. And don't forget to finish your meal with some sweet licorice fruit. It's a refreshing palate cleanser and the perfect ending to your culinary adventure. 4.

Friends, I can't believe some of you still don't know about Jieyang! On my recent trip, I discovered a hidden gem that's so beautiful it left me speechless. I just have to share it with you! Day 1: I arrived in Jieyang in the morning and took a taxi to the hotel to check in. Jieyang is not a big city, so it's very convenient to get around by taxi or shared e-bike.

Finally‼️ Found my dream house in Jieyang Ancient City🏮 Friends👋, I found a B&B in Jieyang Ancient City that was converted from a "Si Dian Jin" mansion. Staying there felt like traveling back in time to a wealthy family in the Ming and Qing dynasties! I stayed three nights for just 💰200+ per night on average. It's super cost-effective, and the atmosphere at night is amazing!💯 🔥 Here are a few things I really liked: 1️⃣ Feels like living in a "Chaoshan Forbidden City" Si Dian Jin mansion🎐 This B&B was converted from a traditional Chaoshan "Si Dian Jin" house! The courtyard, carved beams, and inlaid porcelain murals... It was stunning from the moment I walked in! ✨ I heard that "Si Dian Jin" was a type of mansion that only wealthy families could build in ancient times. The layout is comparable to a Beijing courtyard house, but it pays more attention to feng shui and wealth accumulation. The courtyard gathers wind and energy, and staying there made me feel "noble." The owner has mostly preserved the original structure, and decorated it with antique furniture and old Chaoshan objects. Every photo I took looked like a traditional Chinese painting📸. 2️⃣ Second-floor platform with a direct view of Shuangfeng Temple at night! The second floor of the B&B is the best! Both the rooms and the terrace offer views of the illuminated Shuangfeng Temple⛩️. When night falls, the ancient temple is resplendent, and the lights intertwine with the lantern lights in the B&B's courtyard, creating a wonderful atmosphere✨. 3️⃣ Amazing location, steps away from food and fun The B&B is located in the heart of Jieyang Ancient City! It's a 5-minute walk👟 to Zhongshan Street, a renovated century-old arcade street, where the ancient city's night market is also located. You can find oyster pancakes, sweet soups, beef balls, and salted chicken wings🍗 here. It's a 10-minute walk to Jinxian Gate and the Qingshi Cultural Exhibition Area, where you can see Yingge dance and Chaozhou opera performances during festivals! It's also super convenient to walk to Shuangfeng Temple and Jieyang Xuegong.👍 4️⃣ Incredible value for money, super attentive service The room we booked was 💰200+ per night on average, and it was sparkling clean! The bedding was the same as in star-rated hotels, and the owner even gave us some Chaoshan snacks. So satisfying～😌 💰: 180-300 per person (even cheaper during the off-season!) 📸 Photo Tips ▪️ Wear Hanfu or modern Chinese clothing and take photos in the courtyard and under the carved doorways. The bougainvillea trees are a great spot for photos📸. ▪️ Shuangfeng Temple lights up after 7pm, so remember to grab a spot on the terrace early! ☀ Stroll, eat, and take photos of folk customs during the day, and🌙 drink tea🍵, listen to music🎶, and watch the temple lights in the century-old house at night. This is the right way to travel in Chaoshan😭. Hurry up, ladies! This place is seriously worth it!!

Jieyang Confucian Temple was first built in the 10th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1140). It has been repaired many times in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

It was repaired again in 1987 and is now the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units. This was once the highest government-run school in ancient Jieyang. Jieyang Confucian Temple covers an area of about 21,000 square meters and consists of 21 single buildings.
