Who says you can finish touring the downtown area of Shantou in just one day?

Who said you can finish touring the downtown area of Shantou in just one day? It took me two days, and I still haven't finished even as my skin has peeled from the sun! Everyone talks about the captivating taste of the Cantonese cuisine, but the rich historical heritage here is even more enchanting, making one linger and forget to return. In Shantou, you can travel between tradition and the present in an instant, where history is just a part of life. ✅Attraction Introduction: Jinsha Park - Just an average small park, nothing special; Recommendation Rating: 🌟 Zhongshan Park - Also a park with nothing particularly special to see; Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟 Shantou Museum - Located next to Zhongshan Park, it tells the development history of Shantou and various local intangible cultural heritage skills; Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Xiaogongyuan and its surroundings - A must-visit spot in Shantou with a collection of international architecture, surrounded by many historical buildings worth visiting: Laomagong Theater Stage, Firefighting History Museum, Guanyin Temple, Guandi Temple, Tianhou Palace, Cunxin Mansion, Overseas Chinese Remittance Museum, Post Office, Shantou Printing Factory, Shantou Hotel; Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Square Ferry + Tide People's Wharf - A two-yuan ferry ticket allows you to enjoy the scenery, the breeze, and the sunset on the boat, but I prefer the ferry to appear in my camera; Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟🌟 Fuyuan + Xidi Park - Suitable for viewing the Queshi Bridge, but besides the bridge and Fuyuan, there's nothing else; Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟 Longyan South Road + Jinxin South Road - A gathering place for Chaoshan specialty food, don't go to Zhenbang Food Street, that's for tourists, this place has more local atmosphere! Recommendation Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✅Specialty Meals: ⭕️Chaoshan Raw Marinated - A must-try in Chaoshan❗️I recommend the raw marinated crab, which is very fresh and sweet. Remember to drink plain porridge before eating the raw marinated food, otherwise, you'll be running to the toilet; ⭕️Kway Teow - No need to go to internet-famous shops, just find a 'fly restaurant' next to residential buildings, the taste is more authentic. I like beef offal kway teow, soft and flavorful; ⭕️Beef Hot Pot - You can try the authentic Chaoshan beef hot pot, but the chain restaurant I went to was average, probably the ones next to the market taste better; ⭕️Rice Noodle Roll - I don't really like this texture, but the seafood rice noodle roll, full of mussels and shrimp, only costs 10 yuan, very cost-effective; ⭕️Shrimp Sashimi and Fish Sashimi - Compared to fish sashimi, shrimp sashimi is sweeter. A portion of shrimp sashimi and a bowl of porridge, and one person is full; ⭕️Fan Sha Series - Girls' favorite, Fan Sha taro, Fan Sha salted egg yolk, available all over the streets, a must-have while shopping; ⭕️Fried Fermented Tofu Chicken Wings, Pig's Trotter Rings - Compared to pig's trotter rings, I recommend chicken wings more. The wings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrance of fermented tofu; ✅Accommodation Recommendation: For accommodation, it's suggested to stay near Vientiane City because it's a residential area, convenient for transportation, with more affordable prices around, complete facilities, and most importantly, cost-effective; ✅Transportation Recommendation: 1️⃣Fly to Jieyang, take the airport express line (Shantou East Line) to the downtown area of Shantou (Jinhaiwan Hotel) to get off; 2️⃣It's not recommended to rent a car for city tours, as the roads are not easy to drive and parking is inconvenient. Electric vehicles are more convenient and cost-effective; 3️⃣For electric vehicles, there are full-day rentals and shared electric vehicles. In the city, you can just rent a shared electric vehicle, ⚠️pay attention to restricted areas, as they will cut off power oh;
