Why did you choose to go to such a small town? Actually, it 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 a lot of travel notes about Chaozhou on a travel software, which really made me want to go to Chaozhou.
With the fantasy of Chaozhou cuisine, finally, in the middle of the night in Ganzhou, my friends and I embarked on the k799 train to Chaozhou. After nearly seven and a half hours of turbulence, I came to Chaozhou in the morning.
When I arrived at Chaozhou Railway Station, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. My friends and I laugh at ourselves, and it is rare to see a railway station that is even more dilapidated than Ganzhou. When I came back, I checked the ticket with my friends and almost cried when I watched the train information being replaced manually. Ha ha ha ha, well-meaning teasing is neither black Ganzhou nor black Chaozhou. After all, I have a good impression on both cities.
Chizai Chaozhou
I came to Chaozhou Nanqiao Market by car with my friends, and I didn't have time to find a hotel to put down my luggage. I'm really hungry after sitting on the bus all night with my fantasy about Chaozhou cuisine! I found a street shop and ordered pork steamed stuffed bun powder, which was light in taste. Looking at the diners next to me, I felt so-so, but the taste was so much better after adding sand tea sauce and pepper, so I wondered with my friends if I had come to the wrong place. It is agreed that all shops are delicious, and fairy tales are deceptive ~
At the second stop, we came to the most famous Paifang Street in Chaozhou. As the name implies, there are many archways in Paifang Street, with a total of 22 standing. Each archway records a glorious past and records those who once shone on the lintel. There are some old houses along the street. Behind the house are shops in front of and behind others' houses, and there is no gorgeous decoration. Simple signs with the words dried tangerine peel, herbal tea, salt water, utensils and beef balls are very popular. Selling zongzi in front of the old house engraved with Sima's family attracted friends to ridicule Sima's family, and all of them became selling zongzi to make a living. There are alleys on both sides of the street at a distance, criss-crossing Unscently alleys make up the old city and endow it with soul.
I had a group in the evening and found Abin beef I had planned to go to before. Looking at the soaring prices and long queues on National Day, my friends and I chose another beef hotpot with soup and followed the navigation to find this store. My first impression is that chaozhou people doesn'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 well 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 four times. Fortunately, she is not impatient and smiles every time. She and her friends spent another Mid-Autumn Festival in Chaozhou, eating and urging.
I ate two rice rolls in Paifang Street, which was much more delicious than the canteen, and the business was very hot. So I simply set some tables outside, but I still need to queue up before ordering. I watched the people at the same table leave without asking us after dinner, but I had to wait for food. The boss in rice rolls added two eggs, Flammulina velutipes, meat and vegetables. When chatting with local people at the same table, he said that oysters could be added, but we asked the boss. It's a pity, but the free Chata in rice rolls's shop is delicious, and I drank many cups. Finally, my friend asked the boss what kind of tea it was, and then went to the tea shop to buy some tea and bring it back on the last day! ! !
Eating the famous Hu Rongquan Spring Cake may be due to personal reasons. I feel bad and want to eat the same famous Hu Rongquan duck mother twist. The old woman willfully said no, and then I ate a bowl in a small shop, which was very sweet. It may also be because of personal reasons, I feel that the taste is not appropriate and I have not finished eating.
At noon, I went to the time-honored Zhen Ji giblet store for dinner. 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 the mentality of trying. It tastes bitter, not as sweet as Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao, but I don't know if it's an illusion after drinking it, but it's quite comfortable.
Then I went to the suburbs and went to the famous Shaolin hot pot in Zhihu. It's really far. I ran from downtown to a small town, passing by Hanshan Teachers College on the way. 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 arrived early enough, but the boss said the foie gras was gone. Finally, I ordered beef, beef balls, goose intestines, goose feet, vegetables, sweet potatoes with honey sauce, boss.
Chaozhou tourism
The main means of transportation in Chaozhou are buses, motorcycles, mountain bikes, human bicycles and taxis. Well, I'm sorry, Didi taxi is basically not feasible, and it's a bit inconvenient. Perhaps because of this, people seem to come and go in the street, but it is not crowded at all. The old people sat leisurely on the bench by the roadside, set a pot of tea set, shook their fans and chatted with three or five old friends, listening to Kunqu opera, which was really comfortable to watch.
Play in Chaozhou
We came to Chaozhou with the purpose of eating. We also learned that Chaozhou had no scenic spots before, so we mainly wandered around Paifang Street and went to Kaiyuan Temple halfway. Incense is very strong, and there are 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 to be Guangji Bridge, which is tied with Zhao Zhouqiao, and the fare is 60. I thought about it with my friends and didn't go in to see it. ! !
The two-and-a-half-day trip soon ended, and Chaozhou gave me a very good impression. People here are very enthusiastic. When they finish shopping, they always answer with thanks. You're welcome. The little girl in the hot pot restaurant didn't dislike that I kept urging her, but smiled apologetically. When the owner of the tea shop poured us tea, he asked us to sit down and wait, and told us several times not to make a pot of tea for us to drink ~
Writing here, I also feel a bit like Sister Xianglin. Maybe I will never set foot in Chaozhou again, but every journey is a growth, and every experience is worth cherishing. I hope you will be treated gently by the world, whether you are living in the present or walking in the distance.
Dear, thank you for reading this.
