Wearing Hanfu and making tea, wearing cheongsam to forage
It’s all a new way to play, being the most “fashionable” person Chaozhou Ancient City
We also brought a souvenir for you who read the end of the article

The way to experience the humanities of the ancient city must be "trendy"
There is an ancient Chaozhou city on the Han River
A large wood-carved old house
An ancient temple with bursts of Sanskrit sounds
The majestic old city wall
ingenious company Zhoufuqiao
In ancient times, the south was mostly a barbaric and relegated place. Han Yu, a great literary figure in the Tang Dynasty, was also exiled in Chaozhou.
The reason why Chaozhou is called an ancient city is inseparable from its thousand-year history and humanistic heritage .
We want to use a special way to integrate into the ancient city, put on Hanfu and cheongsam , and experience the past and present of Chaozhou.
/How to choose a "battle uniform" that suits you?
The ancient city is full of tiled houses, ancient houses and alleys. The elegant Hanfu and cheongsam are natural and will not make the picture too jumpy.
We choose ’s high-quality customized travel photography service . Of course, you can also bring your own or rent clothing. You must choose the clothing that suits you, otherwise you will have the feeling of "acting" or taking photos in a studio.
/Reduce large scenes and try to capture details
Although the ancient city has retained its original flavor as much as possible, it is 9012 after all. If you want to photograph the ancient city, you still have to avoid those too modern objects.
Turning into the alley from Paifang Street , we found a B&B in Guiexiang.
Today, the gatehouse still retains the stone plaque "Da Fu Di" and the murals engraved with plum blossoms and orchids. On the front are Du Fu's poems. With a raised hand, it seems to point out the past and present.
The set of red Hanfu chosen by my friends has a low saturation contrast with the bamboo behind it. dead branches add a sense of depression, like a woman who has not been recognized for her talent.
Plain clothes look more poetic against the backdrop of thick fir doors .
Although the layout of the B&B has been transformed, the door and window corridors still have the same flavor as they did a hundred years ago. Patios, sweet-scented osmanthus trees, wooden windows, screens, Chaozhou in every era has its unique texture .
/Find props to create a sense of ancient times
Tea is indispensable in Chaozhou. You can experience boiling water in a charcoal stove and brewing Gongfu tea at a teahouse 100 meters away.
"Gongfu" is the transliteration of Chaozhou dialect gangfu, describing Chaozhou Gongfu tea is a brewing method that requires patience and has nothing to do with martial arts.
Burning charcoal, flourishing fire, and boiling water , this does take time, and it is precisely this time that can make people slow down and calm down.
A friend said that if Chaozhou people are going to quarrel, they will make a cup of tea first. When the fragrance of tea hits your nostrils, may be extinguished, and you will want to be tolerant to others.
Chaozhou Gongfu Tea, from tea customs and tea ceremony to tea art, up to Zen Tao of Life and Daya and Daya , it is all inclusive, all in Gongfu.
Returning to travel photography, we must learn to make the most of everything.
The owner of the teahouse has an excellent eye for product selection and layout design: a tea set, a birdcage, a guzheng, and even a cat have all become our shooting props.
touch the wall, back view, cover face, brush sleeves , remember these few actions, a set of light portraits has basically been released.
/Keep your eyes wandering and don’t laugh.
We found an abandoned house in the alley. The damaged wooden door and couplets made the back view more graphic.
Unless the photographer has a strong capturing ability or you are very confident in your performance, you must not look at the camera.
Don't laugh, is confused and wandering, looking left and right, , there will definitely be a work you are satisfied with.
/Play with some creativity to make travel photography more interesting
In the evening, we came to the central axis of Chaozhou City - Taiping Road , which the authentic Chaozhou people call Street.
On the bustling street less than two miles away, there were 152 ancient archways in the past, almost one pavilion in every lane, and every hundred steps , which is unique in the country.
The archway group has gone through wars, natural weathering, "Cultural Revolution" and other natural disasters or man-made demolition. So far, 23 archways have been restored and preserved, which is really rare.

There will be a stop-motion animation in the opening video ~
Big I took nearly 50 photos dressed like this on a cold day. If you see our shooting behind-the-scenes on the Internet, it must be an accident.
In addition to the time-honored brands, the food must be "trendy"
/A small shop without a name, in It only opens in the evening
In Chaozhou, there are very few restaurants that use tripe tips to make sand tea cakes. It can be said that this restaurant is the only one.
Its does not have the name . It is next to the Zhongshan Road sign. It only opens at night, and it depends on your mood.
Their unique sesame sauce and sand tea sauce are very fragrant, but after all, you will get tired of eating too much. Adding some vinegar to stir the noodles is another way to eat them.
/The beef offal shop by the West Lake is very famous.
Zhen Ji, almost everyone knows this name. The most famous beef offal in Chaozhou. . After becoming famous, it is also very practical. Even a small bowl has a lot of ingredients and is very large.
Served with Kuey Teow and bean sprouts, topped with a mellow soup base made from beef bones , and the local specialty minced galangal. If you don’t drink the soup to the bottom, you will be sorry for this bowl of Kueh Teow. No wonder the local residents also There will be a long queue to come to it.
/You can eat all the braised kueh juice in one bowl Kueh juice
There are a lot of kueh juice in Chaozhou. What we ate was Kaiyuan Laoqi Kueh juice .
The most special thing about this place is that it puts all the braised food in one bowl. No need to add extra. It is very suitable for those of us who are coming to Chaozhou for the first time and want to try everything.
Kueh juice is the most delicious when is just served. It will become lumpy if left for a long time. Pour a spoonful of scallions on top, top with braised soup, and add various braised pork intestines, braised eggs, braised dried beans, braised bitter melon and other braised flavors. "Eat while hot" .
/The duck mother twists and spring cakes
sweet soup recommended by the locals are at least a bowl a day for Chaozhou people. What we ate was not a time-honored brand, but the Zhenzhenxi recommended by several people in Jiaozhou.
When you come to Chaozhou, a must-eat is duck mother twist , a kind of glutinous rice flour glutinous rice balls filled with bean paste or taro paste. It is named after its shape, which resembles a mother duck floating on the water.
The fruit balls are homemade by the store, the only one in the whole ancient city. Using the method of taro balls, the vermicelli is topped with dragon juice or other vegetable juices, and can be paired with mung bean juice or milk peach gum. The texture is QQ and very chewy .
There is a spring cake shop next to Zhenzhenxi. Friends who have been to Chaozhou more than ten times must buy it every time they come.
Golden and transparent spring pancakes, stuffed with seasonal vegetables such as leeks and parsley, stir-fried with shredded pork, shredded mushrooms, shredded tofu, and shredded radish, thin and crispy skin, so fragrant!
/Why not try Chaozhou’s banquet dishes
This Chaozhou restaurant is located in Yigucang, the county town. It is a restaurant that Chaozhou people love to visit when entertaining guests.
Use sweet potato leaves to make juice , add scallops, shrimps and mushrooms, and arrange them into a Tai Chi diagram, which is beautiful, healthy and delicious; uses tea leaves from Phoenix Mountain to fry the shrimps , which locks in the aroma of the shrimp and brings out the tea. Fragrant; uses egg yolks to make dough and wraps them into pomegranate balls. This Chaozhou cuisine is indeed very "trendy".
When we come to the ancient city, the place we live in must be "trendy"
During the three nights in the ancient city of Chaozhou, we stayed in three hotels with different styles: Nanmiao, Between Choices, and Fengshuiyi.
- Nanmiao B&B: 2 minutes walk to Arch Street , in the alley, need to walk or tricycle to reach, suitable for fans of ancient style
- Choose Between Inn: Chaozhou Eight Scenic Spots Next to "West Lake Fishing Raft" , the parking space is a little tight, suitable for simplicity Detailed control
- Fengshuiyi: Next to Sheungshui Gate, in the old land of Fuxue, has an independent parking lot , suitable for self-driving friends
(This map is sincerely donated by the Inn between Choices and not for commercial use)
/Nanmiao B&B: Accommodation Entering the century-old house,
manager Di Ge's mother believes in Buddhism, and the Buddhist sound "Nan Miao" is quite Zen-like. This building with a history of nearly 200 years is also the main shooting location for our travel photography.
The original owner of the ancient house was Mr. Li, who was the president of the Chao'an Chamber of Commerce in the early Republic of China. He was in his 90s and had experienced various changes in Chaozhou in the past century. The B&B restores the old style to the greatest extent. When you stay in Nam Miu, you will live in history.
The Chaozhou-style "tiger and lion" layout of "three doors, four living rooms, five patios, and eight bedrooms" is relatively rare in the ancient city. light transmission, ventilation, convection , it is a "Chaozhou house" with excellent comfort.
Fireworks outside the door, Taoyuan inside the door.
The name of the room can form a poem, "I don't know where the flowers come from. If there is a mountain and a stream, I will be happy.". Each elegant room is fully equipped with simple design and equipped with coffee table.
We are here custom dinner , the craftsmanship of Di Ge’s mother. Sitting in the patio courtyard, eating charcoal-fired salt-baked shrimps and crabs and snails , I also had a small glass of red wine. The evening breeze, accompanied by the stars, is so pleasant.
In addition to opening a B&B in an ancient house, Nam Miao also has a teahouse. Like the B&B, it greatly restores the style of the old teahouse.
The tea house lady first explained the Chaoshan tea culture, and then demonstrated to us the most traditional method of boiling water in a charcoal stove to brew Gongfu tea. We made tea with Teochew snacks and had a tea party.
In the words of the manager, "Many buildings in Chaozhou are from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and are very dilapidated. If does not have a second revival, it will be a waste ."
If you want to experience Chaozhou's rich cultural heritage and carved beams and painted buildings For stories, you can choose Nan Miao.
/Choose Between Inn: Living on the edge of West Lake
I chose this inn, firstly because it is built on the edge of West Lake, so I can enjoy the lake view; secondly, because of the name "Choice Between", let me I, who have difficulty choosing, resonate with my soul.
Choosing or rejecting is all a matter of thought; when it comes to choice, it doesn’t seem that complicated.
After checking in, the housekeeper invited us to the courtyard to drink tea and chat.. Perhaps the conversation was too congenial, but the butler lit the alcohol lamp before adding water to the teapot, which is really an interesting story.
The teapot was scrapped, and the housekeeper asked us to try ’s homemade spring rolls and drink a cup of Tianqi flower tea to relieve the heat.
The scrapped teapot was placed in the courtyard for decoration, and the friends at the inn seemed to be good at "secondary use" of .
The managers have collected unique handicrafts from various places, scattered in every corner of the inn, waiting for us to discover.
The manager is happy to collect local old things, is integrated into the inn design in innovative ways, such as the entry floor-to-ceiling wooden wall made of Chaozhou wood carvings. It seems to be incompatible with the contemporary MUJI style design, but after looking at it carefully, I feel that it is not inconsistent.
The mattress in the room is the same made by Disney, which is also used by the manager himself. The comfort of is not inferior to that of in star-rated hotels. The private bathroom is designed in black and white INS style, which is simple yet stylish.
Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, brewing a pot of Gongfu tea and looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake is a triple enjoyment for vision, taste and soul.. The rooftop of
inn is a public space, and some activities are held from time to time. But what attracts me is the glass house in the corner - star room .
exclusive space, lake view and stars for company , it is romantic just thinking about it.
Between the choices, every intention of the manager is hidden in the details. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance and may your mood be as fresh and bright as a lemon every day.
/Fengshuiyi: Comfort is the best
On the last day, we planned to stroll around the Fuxue Jiudi Cultural and Creative Park, so we stayed at a well-received inn——Fengshui near the entrance of Shangshuimen Gate Tower. Post.
In ancient times, the name of Hanjiang River was "Fengshui", and the post station next to Fengshui was called Fengshui Station. Today's Fengshui Inn is located exactly at the former site of Fengshui Inn in the Song Dynasty.
The building is five stories high. It has no gorgeous decoration and is plain and unremarkable. It feels like returning to the original appearance of the hotel in the 1980s. "not pretty but delicious" , this is the manager's description of his own inn.
The porcelain prints of the Republic of China fully reflect the style of the literati, with simple and unembellished designs.
With the same comfortable beds and complete facilities as a five-star hotel, is most suitable for a family to stay in . The sun shines through the glass windows into the room, giving it a hint of warmth.
The first floor is a patio and a bright public tea space with excellent lighting.
During the conversation, I learned that the manager of Fengshuiyi and his two sons jointly operate it, and their vision of "home" is revealed in every aspect, and the comfortable thing is the best.
Goodbye to the ancient city, the things you take away must be enough "trendy"
/Make mud, pull embryos, and take away an intangible cultural heritage Hand-pulled pot
For hundreds of years, Chaozhou has been a big teahouse. A clay pot and three cups are enough to make a day for one's own people. (Why three cups? Three cups in a circle is tasting, which is the embodiment of "respect")
Tea has been integrated into the bones and blood of Jiaoji people, and Chaozhou hand-pulled pots are the protagonists of the entire Chaozhou Kungfu tea art.
The guide took us to experience intangible cultural heritage hand-made and make a hand-pulled pot by ourselves.
After calming down, we slowly made the pot in our hearts with our hands covered with mud.
/Chaozhou culture that cannot be taken away, souvenirs that can be taken away
