My day trip to Chaozhou included visits to the Xu Fuma Mansion, the residence of Xu Jue, the husband of Princess De'an, sister of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The mansion's architectural style resembles a four-horse carriage, with bamboo-woven gray walls, stone flooring, and an S-shaped water system being its three treasures. It is the only known mansion of its kind in the private sector. We also visited the Guangji Bridge (a 4A scenic area), a vital transportation hub between Guangdong and Fujian, combining beam, pontoon, and arch bridges, and is considered on par with the Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge. We visited the Han Yu Ancestral Hall, learning about Han Yu's eight months of service in Chaozhou, with an inscription written by Su Shi. Next, we went to the Beige Buddhist Lamp, seeing the brightly lit lamp over the Han River. The Beige Buddhist Lamp is one of the eight scenic spots of Chaozhou. From the Beige Pavilion, we could see the Crocodile Crossing in the Autumn Wind, the Han Yu Ancestral Hall across the river, the Xiang Bridge in the Spring Tide downstream, the Phoenix Rain, and the Longqiu Pagoda.

It's recommended to take a taxi or walk from Guangji Bridge to Han Yu's Temple, as it's not far. The temple's own parking lot is quite small; it won't be enough for tour buses. There's an old lady in the parking lot making delicious oil-fried tangerine tea. Entrance is free. The temple grounds aren't large; you can climb the hillside and enjoy views of Chaozhou Ancient City and Guangji Bridge. Han Yu's educational philosophy was very advanced for his time, and its principles remain relevant today.

Qinglan Monster National Geopark has a beautiful environment, unique icebergs, and fresh air. It is worth visiting and a good place for family leisure. The cellar chicken in the geological park is also good. The prices of teahouses and snacks are reasonable and not too expensive. We went there as a couple, so we ordered a pot of tea and cellar chicken, snacks, ice cream, etc. at the teahouse at noon.
