2019.3.2-3 Trip to Chaozhou
It is very necessary to keep your head down and rush, look up at the sky, slow down in the busyness, and let your mind travel thousands of miles. This is how our trip to Chaozhou in early March began. Fun, delicious and eye-opening! Of course this may be my rookie opinion. Rookie’s joy and satisfaction! My essay includes: itinerary, flavor and small town stories. Reading time is about 10 minutes.
First, take a picture of Chaozhou Ancient City to get a comprehensive impression. Of course, it will also be very rewarding to compare this picture carefully after playing. You may find blind spots that you have not noticed! We have it, and we will share the stories of the small town!
Itinerary: The main route of the two-day trip
Flavor: Taste of Chaozhou through the eyes of a newbie
Small town story: Chaozhou historic sites with pictures and what you saw and heard during the trip
1. Itinerary: It is recommended to travel by train or self-driving, which takes about 3 to 4 hours;
We traveled by train for two days this weekend, and arrived in Chaoshan in 1.5 hours Railway station, then take the express bus to Chaozhou West Lake, and then start the local tour: D1 Zhengji Beef Restaurant by the West Lake (locals recommend a restaurant that is more delicious than the Internet celebrity store) --gt; Zhensu Art Realm ( Highly recommended, Ctrip has a discount for online booking, 308 yuan for a standard room with double bed on weekends (charges apply for additional persons, room limit is 2 people)--gt; Zhongshan Road, Chaozhou--gt; tour around the ancient city (local electric tricycle, 30 yuan per person) Yuan billing)--gt; Archway--gt; Jilue Huanggong Temple--gt; Xu Prince Consort's Mansion--gt; Huangpu Military Academy Chaozhou Branch--gt; Time Axis Bookstore--gt; Archway Street--gt; Kaiyuan Temple--gt; Guangji Tower--gt; Shangxiashui City Gate--gt; Night view of Hanjiang River--gt; Guangji Bridge (ticket sales stop at 5 pm)--gt; D2: Archway Street--gt; Jia Di Lane--gt; Xiashui City Gate--gt; Guangji Bridge--gt; Chaozhou Cultural Pedestrian Street--gt; take a taxi to Chaoshan Station and return to Xiamen by train (fare 85 yuan)
2 Flavor: The pace of life in the ancient city of Chaozhou is very slow. Almost every house in the tourist attraction area is a shop. The mentality and behavior of the shopkeepers are like Jiang Taigong fishing: those who are willing to take the bait, don’t care at all and solicit business. Tea, eating fruit, chatting and other leisurely patterns can be seen everywhere.
Stories from Three Small Towns:
The scene of people waiting in line for the express train to wait for about half an hour for the dispatch of the train made me happy. I have the opportunity to once again feel the difference in consumer service concepts in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. I can accept this waiting process with a calm mind. The change in the behavior of the larger system government is the driving force behind the changes in the products of different electronic companies on the buses. The advertisement made us feel that this is a city with developed small household appliances and electronic products.
On the bus, we met a group of enthusiastic "travelers" who were traveling by themselves in Chaowei. After getting off the bus, they all agreed to follow us because our handsome guy had the temperament of a leader and a professional tour guide. We were very helpful and we quickly went to West Lake and ate at several restaurants. The beef balls in this restaurant are the most delicious. The beef tendon balls are more chewy than the beef balls.
I also recorded a video of the beef balls being processed on site. Never seen before, haha.
On this road, you can see many features of the ancient city: family wood carvings, Chaozhou embroidery and cheongsam, various delicacies such as specialty beef snacks, and the introduction of ancient city elements and current social elements (laughing) Embarrassing advertisement.
When visiting the ancient city, it is recommended to take a local tricycle to circle around the ancient city and listen to its historical stories.
Jiluehuang Mansion has Fujian’s famous stone carvings, the Kaiyuan Temple’s strong incense and thousand-year-old Bodhi tree, the stone carvings in the ancient city, the atmosphere of hoping that the son will become a dragon and the daughter will continue the family line, the design of Xu’s Consort’s Mansion, Feng Shui and coming-of-age rituals and other customs and culture, etc. etc are all worth a visit.
