Crowne Plaza Chaozhou Riverside

Chaozhou and Shantou are cities that combine delicious food and the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Last year, I went to Changbai Mountain to experience the snow, and this year, I took my family to Chaozhou and Shantou to celebrate the Chinese New Year! This time, I planned a 4-day trip to Chaozhou, a 1-day trip to Shantou, and a 2-day trip to Nan'ao. Due to the word limit, I will write them separately. On the first day, I took a flight from Shanghai to Jieyang Chaoshan Airport at 8:30 am and arrived at 10:30 am. I went straight to the hotel. I booked a room with a view of Guangji Bridge at Crowne Plaza Chaozhou Riverside two months ago (you need to book in advance for the Chinese New Year, or the price will be much higher). The view of Guangji Bridge from the window was amazing. After checking in, I went straight to the first stop, Liu Bu Lu Goose in the Paifang Street. I walked there to avoid traffic. I ordered a platter (goose head, goose neck, goose meat, goose gizzard, and goose wing) and tofu and duck blood. If you plan to eat there, I suggest you buy a group-buying coupon in advance. You need to book in advance during peak season, or you will not get a seat like us. I think the goose head and goose meat are the best. After eating, I went to Longhu Ancient Village, which is the farthest from the city. The ancient street is simple and runs from north to south. No ticket is required. You can see the architectural features of the ancestral halls in Chaozhou. After that, I went straight to Guantang Youjian Beef to eat hot pot. This place was recommended by a local driver. He said that there is a slaughterhouse nearby, so the beef is very fresh. The restaurant is large, and the beef is cheap. I ordered almost every kind of beef, such as ribeye, marbled beef, and beef tendon. I suggest you not order the spicy pot, which is too salty. The bone soup pot is good, with a base of bitter melon and pork ribs, which is good for reducing internal heat. After eating, I went back to the hotel and ordered oil olive tea and mung bean cake. I enjoyed the night view of Guangji Bridge and the light show while eating. I could hear the music in the hotel, which was very comfortable. On the first day, I visited the farthest attractions and tasted the delicious food. After washing up, I went to bed and prepared for the next day's itinerary (Chaozhou Museum, Xima Road in the ancient city, etc.). Crowne Plaza Chaozhou Riverside Crowne Plaza Chaozhou Riverside
