This time I took my parents who are in their eighties to Chaozhou. My father has never returned since he left his hometown in his teens, and he doesn’t even speak Teochew fluently. My own Mandarin is also very ordinary 😓. Fortunately, I chose the "Youxiong Hotel" this time. It is located in the alleys of the ancient city, and walking out of the alley is the bustling pedestrian street. It is also within easy walking distance of various famous attractions. For the two old people, walking, sightseeing and eating authentic food are definitely enough for them.
Thanks to the hotel housekeepers Linda and Celia for always using WeChat to provide us with services and travel information. They also arranged in advance for a small truck to take us in and out of the city so that we didn't have to drag our luggage to find the hotel. We also received immediate help in sorting out some of our additional requests.
The most common person I met in the hotel was the aunt who cleaned the rooms. Every time we meet, we greet each other with a smile. Of course, the room was very clean and extra bottled water and bathroom amenities were provided to us.
The hotel provides a buffet breakfast, which does not have many choices, but is fresh and delicious, and the coffee is good. There are also Teochew-style dim sum and made-to-order noodles. There was a short-haired waitress in the restaurant who chatted with my dad in Teochew and Cantonese, which made my dad very happy.
Overall, I had a very pleasant three days and two nights in Youxiong. Thank you to the two housekeepers and the waiters I met! ❤️
