Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Beachcombing in Shantou is a popular recreational activity that is loved by tourists and has become a popular tourist experience. The best time to beachcombing is usually when the tide is low, when you can catch seafood such as crabs, sea urchins, and conchs on the beach and reefs. In Shantou, you can choose from a number of popular locations, such as Qing'ao Bay and Mayu Island, which are not only rich in seafood but also have beautiful scenery.

Before beachcombing, remember to check the tide table and choose the best time to beachcombing two hours before and after the lowest tide. At the same time, it is also necessary to take safety measures such as sun protection and anti-slip. For tourists who are beachcombing for the first time, it is recommended to follow an experienced local guide or join a beachcombing group to ensure safety and a full harvest. Beachcombing not only allows tourists to get close to nature and feel the gifts of the sea, but also allows them to experience the traditional lifestyle of fishermen. It is an unforgettable tourist experience.

Teochew food recommendations

Teochew food recommendations

What I ate in Teochew|||Teochew food ​A summary of the food I ate on my trip to Teochew. I spent three days in Teochew and ate four meals a day. The first meal I had after landing in Jieyang was "Dongxing Fish Fillet Congee." I ordered the fish fillet and crab combo, which was a full pot. The congee is made to order, so you have to wait a while, but you can order an oyster pancake from the stall next door to eat while you wait. The congee was really delicious, with the fresh and sweet taste of the seafood fully infused into the congee. Beef hotpot - I had it almost every day, I loved it so much. I would go back just for the beef hotpot. I highly recommend the "snowflake" and "spoon" beef, which melt in your mouth and are so tender, and the crispy beef brisket. First, cook the meat, then the vegetables, and finally order some kway teow noodles, which are delicious with satay sauce. I recommend "Niuniu Hotpot" on Nan'ao Island and "Ah Hou Beef" in Shantou. ​Raw marinated seafood - I only tried the salmon and cooked abalone. If you have a strong stomach, you can try the crab. I recommend "Ruijiao Mama." ​Nan'ao Island - I went to a seafood restaurant recommended by a colleague. The sea urchin and seaweed fried rice was amazing. It looked black and mushy, but the aroma of the sea urchin filled my mouth with every bite, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The other seafood was average. "Island Flavor" ​Desserts - I recommend Xi Yi Sweet Soup. Everything with taro flavor is delicious and not too sweet. It's best to go to the main store. Braised hotpot - I don't recommend this in Shantou. I really didn't like it. The braised soup was bitter and salty. I went to a restaurant recommended by Wong Cho Lam on "Day Day Up." Apart from the tender and smooth liver, the other dishes were all salty and bitter. Teochew food recommendations ​

Three-day and two-night tour in Shantou~~

Three-day and two-night tour in Shantou~~ Originally planned to book Sheraton, but after seeing the room pictures online, the facilities are really too old, and it is the old-fashioned decoration style, but the location is very good, it is in the most central location, but still gave up Really recommend this 'Haiyi Huijing Hotel', the window faces the west, the sunset is really beautiful and the night view is also very good! There is a mountain with lights on the opposite side of the night view. Every day there will be customer service staff to send us a small gift of 2 packs of flower tea. I booked a deluxe sea view room for more than 500 a night!
