You have to visit Chaoshan at least once.

Should you go to Shantou or Chaoshan first? You'll know after reading this.||You have to go to Chaozhou to "kick the peach" at least once. I love Chaozhou, a place full of traditional culture and ancient buildings. First stop: Chaozhou D1: Hanwengong Temple—Xiangzi Bridge—Paifang Street—Chao Opera Teahouse—Ancient City Night View 1. Hanwengong Temple: A temple in memory of Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. 2. Xiangzi Bridge: One of the four famous bridges in China. The whole bridge is made of boats. In the afternoon, you can see the real "burning bridges" (starting price: 20). 3. Paifang Street: A pedestrian street, an ancient street integrating culture, history, and local snacks. 4. Chao Opera Teahouse: Intangible cultural heritage 5. Ancient City Night View: Xiangzi Bridge Light Show, 7:00–8:00 pm every night Food recommendations: Fermented bean curd chicken wings, sugarcane ice, oil soup, beef kway teow, raw fish and shrimp, raw pickled food, beef hot pot Second stop: Shantou + Nan'ao Island D2: Shantou Landmark Xiaogongyuan—Lunch—Qihang Square—Tropic of Cancer Youth Olympic Bay—Fisherman's Bay—Check in to Nan'ao Island Hotel 1. Shantou Landmark Xiaogongyuan: A retro street, perfect for taking photos. The Shantou sign is here! 2. Qihang Square: Internet-famous photo spot—Lighthouse. There are three lighthouses on Nan'ao Island. The attractions are similar, but the lighthouses are different colors. 2. Tropic of Cancer Youth Olympic Bay: Tropic of Cancer Landmark Tower, a square 3. Fisherman's Bay: Go out to sea and experience the fisherman's life. Here, you can face the sea, feel the sea breeze, eat seafood, and enjoy the sunset. Everything is beautiful, as if the whole sea is yours. Tips: It takes about 8 hours to travel around the island. It's more convenient to rent an electric bike or drive (be careful when riding around the island, there are many slopes, and ask the owner to prepare a spare battery when renting an electric bike). Food recommendations: Ranji Dessert Shop, fruit juice ice, Bingzhong kway teow, Huangji satay seafood noodles Third stop: Nan'ao Island + Shantou D3: Zongbing Mansion—Lunch—Square Ferry—Chen Cihong's Former Residence—Yangjiang 1. Zongbing Mansion: Feel the atmosphere of ancient government offices and the vicissitudes of history. 2. Square Ferry: Ticket price: 1 yuan, pay with Alipay 3.
