An absolutely beautiful marvel of human ability ~ part of this magnificent and historic bridge is connected by boats. Fascinating. There is a theory that says if you went to Chaozhou without visiting the bridge, you cannot say that you have been to Chaozhou and it is so true!
A must see!
2. Chaozhou Phoenix Tianchi Scenic Resort

The hike from Fenghuang town to the Tian Chi Scenic Area is long, about 20km and takes about 4-5 hours. It's a good hike but don't carry too much and bring enough water to last you. There's a few nice scenic spots on the way up and don't be afraid to venture off the road a bit for a better look at something. Not all the best views can be seen right on the road.
Once at the top you can pitch a tent and stay the night, have a fire, eat, relax, and enjoy yourself (not much else to do up there at night). If you stay the night make sure you get there before sundown so you can set up your tent because there's no light up there at all. If you're lucky you'll have good weather in the morning and get a nice sunrise and a chance for some nice photos.
Be sure to bring some clothes for cool weather. I was on the mountaintop on 27 Sep and at night it cooled down to about 6-7C and was pretty windy. Morning was perfect, warmed up, no wind and fairly clear skies.
If you want to see a place that most foreigners will never visit, then Fenghuang is a good place to come and enjoy yourself.
3. Kaiyuan Temple

Reviewed By Khiam Yeong H - Singapore, Singapore
The temple appears to be built in two phases - an ancient phase with a recent extension. The stone carvings in the ancient portion appears eroded but still are magnificent.
The temple opens into many courtyards which leads to other worship spaces. We were there for about three hours just taking photos and soaking in the atmosphere I have a suspicion we did not visit all the courtyards.
Please take note that photography is not allowed in certain pets of the temple.
4. Zhongshan Park

Reviewed By Andrew K - Singapore, Singapore
A nice park to take a morning stroll, as many locals gather here to exercise, practise their Chinese martial arts and even classical Chinese music performance with string and wind instruments. Beautiful Gardens adorn with blooming flowers and five small man made Islands as you enter through a magnificent Chinese architectural gateway.
5. Chaozhou Longhu Village
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Valery_Danilov - Cherepovets, Russia
Очень интересное место - деревня, сохранившаяся и 50 лет нетронутая временем. Особенно здорово, что она расположена близко к популярному историческому городу Чаочжоу, но при этом отсутствует в путеводителях. Туристов тут очень мало, хотя все надписи продублированы по-английски. Доехать можно на рейсовом автобусе, который уходит с автостанции Чаочжоу примерно каждый час. Просто протяните кассирше бумажку с надписью Longhu иероглифами. Ехать примерно 30-40 минут.
6. Ancient City Wall of Chaozhou

Reviewed By JoeCool_KL - Kuala Lumpur
A must visit when in Chaozhou. The wall and the city within is interesting. Lots of shops selling local stuff and shops selling food stuff and souvenirs. The arches on the street represent each person from the city that managed to pass their exams to join the imperial palace.
Walking towards the gate of the walk, you will come to the Hanjiang river where there is a nice boulevard to walk along the river. There is also a bridge to cross the river.

从商周到清朝时代的各种展品，让我大开眼界……作为私人收藏家的藏品，一栋八层楼建筑一栋四层楼建筑都用来陈列这些展品多么不易，不知道为什么没有得到更多的宣传，可能是不被允许拍照的原因。馆内工作人员也非常耐心，票价80，但是要留出大半天来游览观赏，非常值得一看。

外国人にはほとんど知られて無い穴場。
潮洲市内からタクシーで約20分ほどで行ける、広東省でもっとも古い街並みが残っている古村。
一部は南宋の時代の建物もあるが、明や清の時代の建物が多く今もここで生活している人がいる。入口は城壁があり車はほとんど入れないので、村民の足は二輪車がメイン。中に入って古い街並みを歩くと細い路地にそって延々と続く風景は、大昔にタイムスリップした感覚になる。
一部は廃墟になっている家もあるが、この地出身の華僑が今も自分の生まれ故郷を守る為に家を改修し残しているので、昔のこの地の人々の生活様式を見る事が出来る。
家々の入口の門はそれぞれ装飾が施され当時の面影を残しているので、各家の門を見るだけでも飽きない。
この村にはレストランは一件しかないが、そこの焼きそばは絶品で賞を受賞しているので是非食べる事をおすすめする。
