A living museum city: ancient bridges, memorial archways and the art of gongfu tea.
Chaozhou is the cultural heart of the region — 1,600 years of history packed into a walkable ancient city of temples, arches and tea houses.
Few Chinese cities wear their history this lightly. Cross the Guangji Bridge at sunset, count the stone archways along Paifang Street, then sit down for gongfu tea poured by someone who has done it for forty years.
Chaozhou-style braised goose, oyster omelette, spring rolls, hu tiao (rice noodle soup), and endless small plates in the old town.
1–2 nights. The ancient city rewards slow walking and late evenings.
Chaoshan is in mainland China, so mainland visa rules apply. Many nationalities now enjoy visa-free transit or unilateral visa-free entry — check the latest rules for your passport, or ask us and we will check for you.
October to April offers the most comfortable weather. Chinese New Year is peak season for Yingge dance and festival atmosphere, but book early. Summer is hot — good for Nan'ao Island.
