A Day Trip in Shantou - Perfect for a leisurely stroll!
📍First Stop: Chaoshan Historical and Cultural Expo Center
In a word, it's overwhelming! As a Chaoshan native, it's my first time stepping into a museum about my hometown. It feels familiar; right after getting off the bus, what's playing is the Teochew opera that mom often listens to. It's enlightening to learn that we have so many historical stories and cultural heritages. What catches the eye is a sailboat - the Red Head Boat, which was an important means of transportation on the Maritime Silk Road, carrying the survival and dreams of the Chaoshan people, symbolizing smooth sailing for all of us! The exhibition hall has five floors, with elevators, with elevators, with elevators, and each exhibition area has its distinct features: history, cuisine, folk activities, etc., introducing the charm of Chaoshan culture one by one.

🚗Address: Chaoshan Historical and Cultural Expo Center, Nanbin Road, Haojiang District, Shantou City
📍Second Stop: East Coast
The weather wasn't great when I went, it was overcast. This place should be nice for watching the sunset, I guess. In the evening, with the sea breeze and watching the waves hit the stone walls, I felt a bit expectant, a bit excited, and a bit scared, probably because of the overcast weather. I'll wait for a nice day to come back. Taking a walk, looking at the sea, riding a bike, it's a good choice!
🚗Address: On the dike of East Coast Avenue, Longhu District, Shantou City
📍Third Stop: Little Park
As night falls, I arrived at Shantou Little Park, which was once the most prosperous commercial center in Shantou, the department store building of the Republic of China era, where the people of Shantou used to live. With a hundred years of history, it now retains a large number of arcade buildings. Walking on this street is like traveling through history, following the footsteps of our predecessors, and seeing this Shantou filled with a sense of the era!
🚗Address: No. 14, Yanshou Yiheng Street, Xinfu Sub-district, Jinping District, Shantou City (near Guoping Road)
And of course, to end with a beef hot pot meal!
📍Xiongsheng Li Ji Beef Hot Pot
The average cost is 50 per person, with individual pots for each person. The set meal I ordered was a no-brainer, really authentic and unique. Every bite lets you feel the tenderness of the beef, with a generous portion. Dipping the beef in satay sauce is a direct delight to the mouth. The brisket is delicious, it was already included in the set meal, and I ordered another bowl, yyds! The actor Su Xiaoding has also been here, which by rounding up means eating beef hot pot together!
🚗Address: No. 10, Hutai Road, Jinping District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province (next to a parking lot 🅿️)
