Friends who have just arrived, don't rush to read the guide, as your eyes will be confused and your mind will be confused.
Is it really worth it to queue up at those Internet celebrity shops until your legs feel weak? This time I went there and almost got deceived by a "photo scam" on the Internet.
Fortunately, a sister who had been there gave me a phone call and said, go find A Bing, don't make the guide yourself, otherwise you will go crazy.
90% of the guides you get are out of date
The “top ten must-go” and “five-day activities” on the Internet are actually templates.
The so-called ancient city, waterfall, and ancient village have exactly the same names, but how they will look and feel is completely like luck. If you go to visit alone, you will only see densely packed heads. If you follow A Bing, it will be like opening a secret door that no one else knows about.
The oyster bakery shop he once took you to in the same Pai Fang Street didn't even have a sign, and the person who had been working there for forty years was actually an old man.
In Shantou, I was almost deceived by an “Internet celebrity”
The small park is indeed beautiful, but it changes when there are more people.
In the evening, A Bing dragged us to take the square ferry, which cost only two yuan. The wind blowing from the Han River gently caressed our faces, and the lights on the other side lit up one by one. It was at that moment that we realized what the real Shantou is.
He pointed to the river and said that this was where Chaoshan people used to go to Southeast Asia and never looked back.
In these 5 days, we will not look back
Day 1: Shantou, don’t just focus on small parks
Arriving in Shantou, A Bing was already waiting. Instead of competing for the places where Internet celebrities check in, they took the lead in taking us to taste a real beef hotpot.
"Don't worry, you won't have the strength to walk until you're full," he said.
In the afternoon, he went on a tour of the old arcade. He gave instructions and explanations to the mottled carvings, claiming that this was the "Wall Street" of Shantou in the past. That meal of marinated food at night opened the door to a whole new world.
Day 2: Nan’ao Island, the secret to avoiding the crowds
There are a lot of people on the island, but Ah Bing led us on a path that led to a small beach with almost no other people, where the only sound was the waves. The Nan'ao Bridge is really spectacular, but the most wonderful scenery is when A Bing pointed us towards the looming lighthouse in the distance, and also told a story about a ship sinking. It is difficult to tell the truth from the truth, but the gentle breeze makes people feel quite comfortable.
Day 3: Chaozhou, the ancient city hides living history
The Guangji Bridge will really be disconnected. Standing on the edge of the Han River, waiting for the so-called moment of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, there are voices of exclamation everywhere.
Standing at the archway on Archway Street, it looked like nothing more than a stone, but A Bing talked about it for a full two hours, and then those names seemed to be alive and alive.
Day 4: Jieyang, a place without tourists
When we arrived at Huangmanzhai Waterfall, the water vapor rushed toward our face. Compared to the photo, it was ten thousand times more spectacular. In the afternoon, I wandered around the ancient village and saw an old man making red peach cakes. I tasted the simple and unpretentious aroma of rice just taken out of the pot, which warmed my stomach better than any sumptuous meal.
Day 5: Leave your heart in Chaoshan
On the last day, there wasn’t much to do. A Bing led us to have morning tea, and then sent us to the station.
He said that Chaoshan should be savored slowly.
Why did we end up spending less than 1,000 yuan?
You may not believe it when told that the budget was 1,500, but in fact the final cost per person was less than 1,000. Ah Bing was responsible for arranging the entire experience. Meals, accommodation, travel and tickets were all covered, and airport pick-up service was also included.
In fact, it’s not because it’s cheap, it’s because it saves worry.
Think about it and decide on your own hotel. How high have the house prices in Chaoshan area increased during the Spring Festival? Those fast hotels that usually cost 200 yuan dare to ask you for more than 1,000 yuan.
Xun Abing, the living environment is beautiful, the food and drink environment is good, and there is no need to worry about the route yourself, as if there is an old friend leading you to play.

Last thoughts
When it comes to traveling, it really depends on the person.
The scenery is in a static state, but people have fresh vitality. Without Ah Bing's guidance, I might never know which store in Pai Fang Street sells the most authentic duck mother twist, and I would never know how comfortable it is to stare in the wind by the Han River.
What I brought back from this trip to Chaoshan was not photos, but a place left in my heart.
Next time, I want to go again.
