Question 1: What are the fun places in Chaoshan?

When you come to Shantou, you have to mention Chaoshan’s delicious food.

The customer said that there is nothing interesting in Shantou and the only thing it is famous for is its food.

Girls come to Shantou and give up weight loss because they can't resist the temptation of delicious food.

On the first night in Shantou, the client treated us to foie gras, which seemed to be stewed and dipped in small ingredients prepared in advance.

Very delicious and not fishy at all.

Actually, I never eat animal offal, so this time is an exception.

Chaoshan stew is also famous, with tofu and pork belly, which is very light and delicious.

In Cantonese, we had fried kale and watercress many times.

These dishes are rare in the north and taste a little special.

They all seem to be fried in lard.

We don't think it tastes good, but Cantonese people like it very much, especially the kale, which is said to be very expensive.

When I arrived in Chaoshan, I found that beef is very popular, and the most famous one is beef balls.

Beef balls are the most popular snack in Chaoshan. They can be eaten as a snack or as a feast in soup.

The method of making beef balls is to select beef ham, cut it into small pieces, put it on the chopping board, hold two iron rods in your hands, beat it in sequence (beating hard has a lot to do with the feeling of powerlessness at work), and beat it into a paste.

Add salt, monosodium glutamate, and cornstarch, squeeze into balls the size of glass balls with your hands, and put them into the cooked shrimp net water until the beef balls float to the surface.

Speaking of beef balls, there is another allusion.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, a foreigner took out beef balls at the south gate of Chaozhou.

Cheap but extremely delicious.

The beef balls are crispy and dipped in satay sauce.

There was no MSG at that time, but the soup was particularly fresh and sweet.

Later, people from Waijiang passed on the recipe of beef balls to a local monk named Ye Yanqing.

The beef balls that Ye Yanqing later sold were also particularly famous in Chaoshan. Ye Yanqing has been working at Hu Rongquan Restaurant since then.

In Shantou, the most famous place for eating beef balls is an old restaurant called Fuhe City. We had a great time there.

The store was not eye-catching at all, and the decoration was not exquisite, but the business was extremely prosperous.

If you don't make a reservation in advance, there will definitely be no seats available during peak dining periods.

The beef balls in that store are so delicious.

After being cooked in a hot pot and eaten with sand tea sauce, it has a very strong flavor and no fat at all.

It is said that good beef balls can bounce high when thrown on the ground, just like rubber balls.

Although I haven't tasted it, I can assure you that the beef balls we had were definitely rubbery.

In the past, I ate dishes such as chicken tenders with shacha sauce, but this time I ate the most authentic shacha sauce in Shantou cuisine.

It has the taste of sesame sauce and is delicious when dipped in chili sauce.

At noon that day in Chaozhou, we went to a roadside shop to eat the famous local beef offal rice noodles.

This store saves money.

The operating room is just a small room.

There are a few tables set up on the roadside and even a canteen.

The host has a clear division of labor, and his hands and feet are very quick when cutting vegetables, cooking noodles, and serving dishes.

Customers say that every time they come to Chaozhou with their friends, they come here to eat noodles.

The business there was very busy and we had to wait for a long time to find a seat.

When our rice noodles arrived, they came in a large pointed bowl with coriander and a cloud of yellow powder sprinkled on top.

At first we thought it was curry, but later we found out it was the local Nanjiang.

This kind of ginger is not spicy, but it can remove the fishy smell of beef.

There were beef balls, beef blinds, and some offal that I couldn't name.

It tastes good, but maybe it's a psychological effect, I always feel a little nauseous.

But when I leave home, filling my stomach is the first important thing.

Not having much choice, I just tried to kill half the bowl.

Actually I'm not the only one who doesn't like it.

One of my colleagues later told me that she felt nauseous when she saw that bowl of noodles, but seeing how delicious it was for us and the customers highly recommending it, she was too embarrassed not to eat it, so she ate it reluctantly.

To be honest, I still can’t believe how much beef offal I ate.

Before coming here, I heard that Guangdong’s morning tea is very famous.

No chance to try it in Guangzhou.

In Shantou, we finally had a lot of fun.

Every morning a client drives us for morning tea.

I said it was morning tea, but I didn’t drink even a single cup of tea and ate a lot of snacks.

Like sago cream, xiaolongbao, lotus leaf wrapped meat, sauced chicken feet and so on.

Although these snacks can be eaten in restaurants in Tianjin, they have never been eaten for breakfast. Cantonese people live a healthy life!

Although they don't have time to drink morning tea on weekdays, on weekends, the teahouse is particularly lively.

People have been working hard all week, and it is a very enjoyable thing to have a nice cup of morning tea on the weekend.

Third, Kung Fu tea used to be at home. We sometimes drank Kung Fu tea, but the tea we made was definitely not as authentic as Chaoshan tea.

They use fine porcelain tea sets to make tea. The tea sets we usually use are all made of purple sand.

We make tea in small teapots and they use small bowls.

I am an amateur tea drinker, and I feel...>> Question 2: What are the fun places in Chaoshan?

Shantou has beautiful scenery.

Famous scenic spots include Zhongshan Park, Cocoon Island, Dahao Qingyun Rock, Pousang Longquan Rock, Chaoyang Lingshan Temple, Lotus Peak, Wenguang Pagoda, Dongshan Scenic Area, Xiyan, Beiyan, etc.

Laiwu Island, Tashan Ancient Temple, Haimen Lotus Peak in Chenghai District.

Blue Mercury is a huge amusement park.

Question 3: What are the interesting places in Chaoshan, Guangdong?

1Lingnan ancient rhyme.

Lingnan Ancient Villages in the Pearl River Delta are located in the Pearl River Delta with dense river networks. There are many ancient villages, and a large number of ancient villages from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are still preserved.

These ancient villages were once lively and prosperous, and the village architecture was also unique and integrated into the Lingnan landscape paintings, giving it a unique style.

These little-known ancient village houses show the local flavor of Guangfu.

In the village, there are narrow gates and tall buildings, or high walls.

There are often ponds or clear streams in the village, and the village lanes are neatly arranged.
