The old town is in Jinping District, relatively close to Shantou Bus Terminal.

Or just cross the Queshi Bridge and get off to the old city.

Just take a hard seat and it will only take four or five hours.

If you don’t come here for an in-depth tour of the old city but just come here to see it, you won’t need half a day. If you include some snacks, one day will be enough.

Personally, I suggest you buy a map when you come here so you can walk around and see for yourself.

As for snacks, there are more in Xitian Alley and Jinfeng Tan. You can find them on these maps.
