Chaoshan

In depth

<p> Chaoshan beef hotpot emphasizes hanging dragon, neck meat, and pork toe; just a few seconds of swishing is enough to finish, and satay melts in your mouth. At Guangji Bridge in Chaozhou, the 'Eighteen Shuttle Boats and Twenty-Four Islets' are lit up like silk at night; On Paifang Street, the aroma of oyster grilled and duck mother twisted wafts across half the street. </p><p> In the morning, drink a cup of Kung Fu tea in Shantou's old town and listen to a piece of Chao opera—slowness is the essence here. Coming to Chaoshan, gaining three jin is a ritual </p>
