Sightseeing: Arcade, Shantou University and Cocoon Island Shantou are mainly famous for their delicious food, but it is also worth spending time to visit some historical buildings left over from this prosperous commercial port in the last century. The best is the arcade in the small park area of the old city, and there are some characteristic buildings.
1, small park arcade
The arcade in the old town of the small park is the witness of Shantou's modern commercial prosperity and is known as a century-old commercial port. However, in recent decades, due to the earth-shaking commercial development, these arcades suddenly became history, leaving only memories of that time. At present, most arcades have become dangerous buildings, and the walls and roofs of many buildings are covered with weeds, and some have bougainvillea. When I was in bloom, I had a strong sense of contrast with the mottled walls that were stained by the years, which made people feel sad. The government has been defending it recently.
2. Modern architecture
There are also some modern historical buildings in the old city, which are very distinctive. Including Guiyuan, Old Post Office, Kaibu Cultural Center, Xiangyuan, etc. All of them have the architectural characteristics of the Republic of China style and the combination of Chinese and western.

You can walk along the dam of East Coast Avenue with a wide view. The scenery here is also very good, with bridges, seas, islands and ferries.
Cocoon Island Ferry 4 yuan/person, the island is small, but full of fish town customs, from time to time you can see fishing boats, Mazu Tempel, ports, fishing nets and dried fish. The island is far from the main city and lives in a corner. At the junction of the mainland and the sea, fishermen live a simple life.
5. Plaza Ferry
People's Square and the west section of Haibin Road are often places for citizens to do morning exercises. There is a square ferry _ (Que) Stone Ferry across the street. The sea promenade here overlooks the stone bridge and the bay bridge, and also overlooks the whole Shantou Bay. If you have time, you must take the ferry to get to 1 yuan, but you can enjoy the whistle of the pier, the rumble of the engine, the crisp chirping of seabirds and the bustling crowd in this coastal city. This is Shantou full of life.
6. Chenghai District: Former Residence of Chen Cifu
Chen Cifu's former residence is located in Qianmei Village, Longdu Town, Chenghai District. It was built by overseas Chinese Chen Cifu's family. The architectural style is a combination of Chinese and western styles. The traditional Hummer trailer is mixed with western-style buildings, dotted with pavilions and cloisters, and it is known as "the first overseas Chinese in Lingnan". It is the largest and most distinctive Chaoshan residence I have ever seen!

In addition, there is an ancient village with a history of 1000 years, and you can see the quaint and elegant Chaoshan ancient houses.

Accommodation: High-star hotels and convenient chain Shantou are generally business-oriented. There are not many characteristic hotel, and there are also few hostel youth tours. Fortunately, star-rated hotels are basically good, high-grade and comfortable, such as several five-star hotels, Sheraton, Junhua and Golden Bay. , and their positions are relatively central. And chain hotels, such as Mo Lifeng, Hanting, Home Inn, 7 Days, City Easy, etc. Because their brand quality is relatively safe. These are all good check-in options.
In addition, I recommend a hotel with good cost performance in the old city, Xinhua Hotel, which is the only hotel in the old city. It is convenient to eat snacks and window machines.
Route: When Chaoshan Airport and Chaoshan/Shantou high-speed rail partners come to Chaoshan, such as Shantou, Nan 'ao Island and Chaozhou, they basically go to Jieyang Chaoshan Airport or Chaoshan high-speed railway station first, and then take the corresponding bus to the urban area.

Airport bus 20 yuan/person, high-speed rail bus 17 yuan/person, travel time 1 hour, every 40 minutes or so.
