Weekend Getaway 019 | Flash Visit to Tashan Culture Park!
There's a great spot in Shantou that overlooks the city - Tashan Culture Park. The park is very accessible in terms of height, and it takes only about half an hour to walk from the base to the summit, making it a perfect place for a leisurely walk and to enjoy the greenery.
From the high vantage point, you can see the new district of Shantou and the Rong River flowing through. The breeze up here is truly refreshing. If time allows, it's worth taking a walk!
Spring Check-in at Shantou Landmark: Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion
Located in Shantou city, the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion was built in 1934. It was initiated by Lee Pek Huan, the owner of the Nansheng Company in Shantou and an overseas Chinese from Indonesia. After the construction of Guoping, Anping, and Shengping roads in Shantou city, a large open space was created at the intersection of the three roads. With the advocacy and fundraising efforts of the Nansheng Company and approval from the municipal government, the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion was built in the center of this open space. Flowers and trees were planted around it, and benches were provided for visitors to rest, hence the name 'Little Park'.
The pavilion employs dozens of traditional Chinese mortise and tenon techniques. The caisson ceiling inside the pavilion is constructed in layers, each layer fitting into the next, creating a total of 23 layers from bottom to top without using a single nail. The architecture is quite exquisite.
As one of the cultural landmarks of Shantou, a 'Century-old Commercial Port', the Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion carries countless memories of the Chaoshan people. It is not just a building, but a work of art, and a must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Shantou.

Chaozhou Three-Day Two-Night Food and Sightseeing Guide (Part 1)
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👋

From Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport to the city, you can choose the "Shantou East Line" of the airport express, which can directly reach the city center.

If your city does not have a direct train to Shantou Station, you can transfer to Shantou Station by high-speed rail at Chaoshan Station, which is more convenient and faster, and saves time and effort compared to taking a taxi directly from Chaoshan Station to the city.

Shantou's 'Little Jiuzhaigou' steps into a lake-blue oil painting
Shantou's 'Little Jiuzhaigou' steps into a lake-blue oil painting
Hidden in Chenghai Dongkeng Village, Shantou's 'Little Jiuzhaigou' is like stepping into a spring oil painting with clear lake-blue water against a mining background. It really has a Japanese feel!!
I've been wanting to check in since last year
I heard before that it was closed and couldn't get in, but recently found out that it's open again
The water here is clear, but the water quality is somewhat hazardous. Don't touch the water!! No swimming!! 🏊
And this place was originally closed, uncontrolled, and the fence is gone, so it's not particularly safe!! Be careful when you go!
You can locate 'Dongkeng Village'
Turn left at the stone tablet when you enter the village, see the red sign of 'Dongkeng Residents Committee', continue to drive up the mountain! You can see 'Dongkeng Farmhouse Banquet', continue to drive forward to the right, see some warning signs for the mine, it's almost there with a small road in (if you can't find it, you can ask the nearby villagers)
The most beautiful homestay in Shantou | MASULAND with a glass bookstore + sea view
Accommodation: Shantou Mama Island Blue MASULAND
Cities with the sea are probably more romantic. The warm sea breeze from the waves, the beach, and the small island brushes across the face
The bookstore by the sea, the homestay on the beach, the taste of the sea island. 'Mama Island Blue', the closest cultural and tourism complex to the sea, has amazed tourists near and far as soon as it appeared. She is hidden on Mama Island in Shantou's inner bay.
Like a dazzling pearl, she quietly lies in the embrace of the sea. She is only separated from the mainland by a bridge.
But it brings people a tranquil and tranquil paradise.
The glass curtain wall that spans two floors of the bookstore on the first floor has become the unique symbol of Mama Island Blue. The transparent space brought by the panoramic glass wall.
It has blurred the boundary between indoor and outdoor, connecting the sea of books and the sea, bringing an immersive reading and holiday experience. As night falls, the sky is tinged with a purple halo.
The bookstore by the sea is like a dazzling palace, standing quietly.
And on one side of the bookstore is a pure white three-dimensional geometric building.
Two seaside buildings are connected by a garden and an air corridor.
With light and shadow as the main line, 11 designer rooms have been created.
The large floor-to-ceiling glass integrates the outside scenery with the space. Among them, 9 are sea view rooms, with an area of 45-60m². The rooms are mainly warm wood color.

Real and ungentrified
Shantou is a port side city in the province of Guangdong. Being one of the many treaty ports opened during the Qing dynasty, it was a center of international trading. As such, the area now houses signs of this historic presence.
The historic part of Shantou is not as touristy as one might expect; many of the historic buildings in the center are lightly restored, but nothing is really remade to look fake and overly gentrified. In fact, many of them lie abandoned and in ruins. For me, I find this adds character to the overall area, as there's a sense of authenticity among these buildings that tell stories of their past. There's a small park in the area, which serves as the main focal point of the area.
You can't leave the Old town without venturing a bit further to sample the famous Shantou beef balls. Many of the restaurants make them on site and you'll see them beating the beef, resulting in a very chewy textured beef ball that you can't get enough of!
Overall, Shantou is a historic city with many buildings with character. You'll get lost wandering the old streets that are lined with buildings that have seen better days! Don't leave the city without grabbing a bowl (or two or three) of its famous beef balls!

Xidi Park - Shantou, Guangdong
📍259 Anping Rd, Jinping District
Xidi(西堤) park is a small park on the edge of the city. Though it's not big, nor have much recreation facility, it is surrounded by beautiful sea view and the most importantly, the beautiful sunset.🌄
The park is free to enter. People usually come here for the sunset. So around five pm, visitors will gather here, many of them carrying big cameras.📷
It's indeed a good place to take photos, and a good place to relax a little bit as well. It always feels good to just sit around the sea and do nothing.
Besides, the place is around the old town, which means there's a lot delicious food around. So after the sunset, you could walk around and have some nice food.

Mamuyu Island, Shantou || Beautiful Shantou.
|| Beautiful Shantou. The origin of Mamuyu Island: In the past, fishermen would pass by here to worship Mazu, and they would always bring live chickens. After worshiping, they would release the chickens on the spot, so it was also called "Fangji Mountain".
Mamuyu Island is a small island in Shantou Bay, and the Shantou Bay Bridge passes through the island. In 2020, a two-way bus route from Shantou Railway Station to Mamuyu Island was opened.
Different from the mountain and sea style of Nan'ao Island, Mamuyu Island is more like a delicate pearl hidden in the boudoir. Mamuyu Island Tourist Area is located at the mouth of the bay, and it is a characteristic fishing village on the island that integrates "sea view, historical sites, folk customs, food, and art". The island has rich natural resources.
Transportation to the island: You can take a bus or drive to the island.
Travel guide: The island is not big, but it is worth spending 1 day. Take a walk on the seaside plank road of Mamuyu, immerse yourself in the seaside bookstore and tent homestay, and let the gentle sea breeze take your mood away.

Guanshan Wanghai Shantou Good Place Chao Hongji Intercity Hotel
Guanshan Wanghai 🌊 Shantou Good Place 🔥
🏨 Shantou Chao Hongji Intercity Hotel
Speaking of Shantou, many people's first reaction is food. Of course, but besides eating and drinking, you should also take the time to experience the flavor of this coastal city. Here, there are rich mountain and sea views, a long history and culture, and the extremely comfortable Chao Hongji Intercity Hotel in Shantou, which was my best choice for landing in Shantou this time. I saw on Ctrip that the hotel is newly opened, with a Bauhaus design concept, a fresh air system throughout the house, and very fresh air. The stay experience was very good, and the hotel staff were very enthusiastic. The tea space on the first floor allowed us to experience authentic Chaozhou Gongfu tea. The guest rooms are also thoughtfully equipped with Gongfu tea sets, and the hotel really integrates tea culture into every detail. 👍
Opposite the hotel is the Chaozhou-Shantou Historical and Cultural Museum, and next door is the Zhenbao Museum. The splendor of Hall 3 opened my eyes, using ancient techniques such as filigree inlay, and the intangible cultural heritage art treasures are displayed one by one, including the filigree Fengyu Bridge. In addition, there is an exhibition of Chaozhou-Shantou wedding customs, allowing out-of-town visitors to deeply experience Chaozhou-Shantou folk customs.
The transportation is also very convenient. It takes about 15 minutes by car to Xiaogongyuan the next day, and about 20 minutes to the high-speed rail station on the return trip. The geographical location is very superior, satisfying our eating and drinking needs, and allowing us to experience the profound Chaozhou-Shantou culture. The transportation is convenient, making it easy to go anywhere.

Shantou | Lying and watching the sea in the city center.
The tourism industry in Shantou has developed rapidly in the past two years. As a local, I am very pleased to see that my hometown has finally developed. However, the development of luxury hotels in Shantou has been stagnant for a long time.
This time I returned to my hometown, I was very happy to find that Shantou has entered a new international brand. Chaohongji teamed up with the century-old hotel group Deutsche and Huazhu Group to create Shantou City Hotel. The fashionable and stable interior design brought by French Naso, and the high-level mysterious feeling brought by the dark mirror made me moved at the moment I entered the door.
What did the three-digit price give me? It is a 68-square executive room comparable to a suite, a 270-degree inner bay sea view brought by a double-sided 15-meter super-long floor-to-ceiling window, a large bathtub in front of the window, and excellent hardware for the whole house intelligent electric control... No one can not fall for this moment when the curtain is slowly opened after entering the door.
The enthusiastic and considerate staff gave me a very good impression. From the moment I entered the door, their smiles followed me. In fact, service does not necessarily have to be inseparable, just give appropriate warmth and happiness.
The superior location in the city allows you to reach various popular check-in points in Shantou within a ten-minute drive. Don't want to run too far? Then you must not miss the Chaohongji Zhenbao Pavilion downstairs. The huge Yellow Crane Tower and palace cast in gold are waiting for you quietly with various jewels. The neighboring Chaoshan Overseas Chinese History Museum is also worth a visit.
Budget travelers are moved to tears, you must stay at this place when you come to Shantou!!
The hotel you must stay at when you come to Shantou, fall asleep instantly when you lie down.
Many friends asked me where I stayed during this trip to Shantou. This time I booked the Imperial Boutique Hotel, located at 35 Huangshan Road, Longhu District. It is very close to MixC and convenient to many places. Note that it is the newly opened one, not the old Imperial Hotel.
The overall decoration is relatively simple and luxurious, using a variety of marble decorations. You can feel the full sense of high-end corridor as soon as you walk in.
I booked the Deluxe King Room, which costs more than 400 yuan per night during New Year's Day. The hygiene is very clean, and the hotel's facilities are very complete. The curtains and sheers are automated. The most important thing is that the bed here is really comfortable!!! I am a person who is quite particular about beds, and I didn't expect to fall asleep quickly every time I lay down. However, the sound insulation is not very good, you can hear people talking in the corridor, but you won't be disturbed much at night.
The bathroom environment is very high-end, the space is large, and there is a huge makeup mirror, which makes putting on makeup inside very enjoyable.
The service at the front desk is really good, the attitude is excellent. I stayed for two consecutive nights. If you come to Shantou for tourism, you can give it a try.
Shantou's atmospheric whiskey bar is a great place for night owls!
For those who love all kinds of drinks, it's a great place to get together with friends and have a good time. 🥰
This is a great place for night owls to go after work. 👍🏻 The decor is very atmospheric, and it's easy to create a high-end look.
🪇 The decor is American retro style, and it's amazing! The oil paintings and decorations are very creative, and you can see that the shop owner put a lot of effort into it!
The bartender's professional cocktails 🍸 are super high in value, and trendy men and women like to come here to spend a wonderful time.
Non-alcoholic cocktails, whiskey, beer, you can choose all of them here, if you drive here, you can also drink non-alcoholic, it's too suitable!
