    Why Chaoshan is worth visiting

    Chaoshan (Chaozhou, Shantou, and Jieyang) is a must-see destination on the eastern coast of Guangdong. It is the cradle of the unique "Chao Culture," offering the classical elegance of the Chaozhou Ancient City alongside the vibrant, Nanyang-influenced, former treaty port of Shantou. This culture's global reach, driven by historical migration, has created the phenomenon of "wherever there are tides, there are Chaoshan people." From the exquisite Chaozhou Embroidery and the refined Gongfu Tea, to the region's status as a "culinary isolated island," Chaoshan promises an unforgettable cultural and gastronomic journey.
