During the National Day, I went to Chaozhou with my friends.

Why I chose to go to such a small town actually stems from some food documentaries about Chaoshan that I saw on the Internet before, and many introductions about Chaoshan food that my friends brushed in Zhihu. Finally, I saw many travel notes about Chaozhou on a travel software, which really gave me an impulse to go to Chaozhou.

With the fantasy of Chaozhou cuisine, at last, in the middle of the night in Ganzhou, I boarded the k799 train to Chaozhou with my friends, and after nearly seven and a half hours of turbulence, I came to Chaozhou trembling the next morning.

when I arrived at the train station in Chaozhou, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. I laughed at myself with my friends and rarely saw a train station that was even more dilapidated than Ganzhou. When I came back later, I almost cried when I checked in with my friends and watched the train information being replaced manually. Hahahaha, a kind joke, neither black Ganzhou nor black Chaozhou, after all, I had a good impression on these two cities.

Eating in Chaozhou

I came to the South Bridge Market in Chaozhou by car with my friends, and I didn't have time to find a hotel to put down my luggage. I was really hungry after sitting on the bus for one night. I found a street shop and ordered pork bun powder, which was light in taste. Looking at the diners next to me, my friends and I thought it was just so-so, but it tasted so much better after adding sand tea sauce and Chili, that we wondered if we had come to the wrong place, and we agreed that any shop was delicious. Fairy tales were all lies ~

The second stop was Paifang Street, the most famous street in Chaozhou, as the name suggests. There are some old houses on both sides of the street. There are shops in front of people's houses behind the houses, and there is no gorgeous decoration. The simple signs are written with the words of dried tangerine peel, herbal tea, salty water, Buddhist instruments and beef balls, which are very popular. Selling zongzi in front of an old house engraved with Sima Family attracts friends to ridicule Sima Family, and all of them are reduced to selling zongzi to make a living. There are alleys on both sides of the street at a distance, which crisscross each other. The alleys that are not exquisite constitute the old city and give it the soul.

In the evening, I opened a group to find Abin beef that I had planned to go to. Looking at the soaring price and the long queue waiting for the National Day, I chose another Guantang beef hot pot with my friends and followed the navigation to find this store. My first impression was that chaozhou people didn't even go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The store was full of people, so I found a table where the guests had just left and sat down to treat myself in a foreign land, but the business was so hot that I had the cheek to urge four different waiters, one of whom, my little sister, I urged her four times. Fortunately, she was not impatient and smiled every time. She spent another Mid-Autumn Festival in Chaozhou with her friends while eating and urging.

I ate two rice rolls restaurants in Paifang Street, which was much more delicious than the canteen, and the business was very hot. So I simply set up a few tables outside, but I had to queue up first when ordering food. I watched the people at the same table leave after eating, but I had to wait for food. The boss in rice rolls added two eggs, Flammulina velutipes, meat and vegetables, and it was said that oysters could be added to chat with the locals at the same table. But we went to ask the boss, and he said it was gone. It was a little pity, but the free tea in rice rolls's shop was so delicious that I drank many cups. At last, my friend asked the boss what kind of tea it was, and then on the last day, I went to the tea shop to buy some tea and brought it back! ! !

After eating the famous Hu Rongquan Spring Cake, it may be due to personal reasons. I wanted to eat the equally famous Hu Rongquan Duck Mother Twist, but the old woman willfully said that there was no more. Later, she ate a bowl in a small shop, which was very sweet. It may also be due to personal reasons that the taste was not suitable and she did not finish it.

At noon, I went to eat at the time-honored Zhenji beef offal store. The 78-meter-long queue for nearly two hours will be an indelible memory in my life. If I have the perseverance to study hard in high school, maybe I will * * * *.

Chaozhou is full of herbal tea shops. I drank a cup of herbal tea with a try attitude. It tasted bitter and didn't have the sweetness of Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao, but I don't know if it was an illusion after drinking, but it was quite comfortable.

Then I went to the suburbs to visit the famous Shaolin Hot Pot in Zhihu. It was really far away. I ran from the city to a small town. On the way, I passed Hanshan Teachers College. I was in a hurry to eat hot pot and didn't go in. I walked by bus and tricycle, and finally arrived at my destination. I thought we had arrived early enough, but the boss said that the foie gras was gone, and finally I ordered beef, beef balls, goose intestines, goose feet, vegetables and honey juice. In a short time, the store was full of people, which made me lament the persistence of eating goods. People's bosses opened the store so slightly, and the business was still so hot that they couldn't let their bosses have a rest ~

The main means of transportation in Chaozhou

Chaozhou are buses, motorcycles, mountain bikes, human bicycles and taxis. Well, I'm sorry, Didi taxis basically don't work, but it is a bit inconvenient, which may be because of this. It seems that people come and go in the street, but it doesn't seem crowded at all. Old people are sitting on benches on the side of the road leisurely, putting a pot of tea sets, shaking their fans and chatting with three or five old friends, and listening to Kunqu opera, which is really visible and comfortable.

Playing in Chaozhou

We came to Chaozhou with the purpose of eating. We also learned that there were no scenic spots in Chaozhou before, so we mainly wandered around Paifang Street and went to Kaiyuan Temple halfway. The incense was very strong, and there were many pilgrims and tourists. We went to Guangjimen, the same ancient city wall as Ganzhou. People who have never seen the ancient city wall may be a little surprised. It is said that it is the Guangji Bridge, which is tied with Zhao Zhouqiao and costs 6 yuan. ! !

The two-and-a-half-day trip soon ended, and Chaozhou gave me a very good impression. The people here were very enthusiastic. When they finished shopping, they always replied with thanks. You're welcome. The little girl in the hot pot restaurant didn't dislike me for urging her all the time, but smiled apologetically. The proprietress, who sells tea, asked us to sit down and wait for tea, and asked us not to make a pot of tea for us to drink several times ~

I also feel a little too talkative like Sister Xianglin when I wrote this. Maybe I will never set foot on Chaozhou again, but every journey is a growth, and every experience is worth cherishing. I hope you will be treated gently by this world, whether you are living in the present or walking in the distance.

thank you, dear, for reading so far.
