[2025 Shantou Hotels] Travel Guide for Shantou Junhua Haiyi Hotel (Updated Jul)

I've longed to visit Chaozhou, and I finally managed to arrange the trip✈️ Although three days and two nights is not a lot of time, I was able to satisfy my cravings and sightseeing desires😌. The only downside was the weather; it was overcast and rainy☔️. Weather really does play an important role when going out to have fun~ 🚘Transportation: Day one Nanjing✈️Jieyang🚕Shantou Day two Shantou chartered car tour around Nan'ao Island, circling the island, then off to Chaozhou Day three Chaozhou🚕Jieyang✈️Nanjing 🏨Accommodation: Shantou——Junhua Haiyi Hotel, just a five-minute walk to Longyan South Road, convenient for ordering takeout, with butler service in the hotel, which is quite considerate. However, the hotel is clearly dated, with older facilities. Chaozhou——Tengrui Crown Hotel, quite new, we stayed on the 38th floor with a nice view, the room environment and facilities were great~ The service was okay, not as considerate as the butler service in Shantou. 🎈Fun: Shantou——Strolled around the Little Park and Shantou Travel Agency, quite leisurely, good for taking photos, but the ferry ride back and forth didn't seem very interesting. Nan'ao Island——The chartered driver took us around for a check-in tour, there are many scenic spots, but unfortunately the weather was bad, so we just took photos for check-in. Nan'ao Island's beaches are nice, we could bring kids here in the future and stay on the island for a night. Chaozhou——Hanwen Gongci and Guangji Bridge are worth visiting, they have a strong sense of history and are close to each other, the light show on Guangji Bridge is quite stunning! Paifang Street is full of merchants, similar to Nanjing's Laomendong 😊Chaozhou is really delicious, with historical sites, culture, and natural scenery. Next time, I'll wait for good weather and come to play again👋

Your Chaoshan story is in the red-headed boat at the mouth of Hanjiang River and the incense of Kueh in the old alley, waiting for you to write a new chapter in the mountains and seas.

Right in the city center! A five-star hotel surrounded by delicious food.

I made an early plan 👇 1️⃣ 100 meters to Longyan South Road Food Street 2️⃣ 100 meters to Vientiane City Food Circle 3️⃣ 500 meters to Longbei Food Street Junhua Haiyi Five-Star Hotel, the room has tea sets, and the kids come in and make tea themselves hahahah. The room also has a bathtub, and the adults come in and take a bath 🫧. As for me, I just lie on the bed and don't want to move, enjoying this moment of peace that belongs to me. There is a 🚗 Rolls-Royce parked in the hotel lobby, heard it's worth 200 million. The decoration is in a very luxurious style. Gym ✅, swimming pool 🏊‍♀️✅, bathtub 🛁✅.
