Mindful meoweler tips

Chaozhou is home to a notable music style called 'Teochew opera'

Teochew opera features gender-neutral performers with distinct makeup and costumes. Listen for the memorable instruments: the woodwind suona and the gong-and-cymbal chuiqing.

Sampling Chaozhou food is a delight!

A must-try dish is the Chaozhou beef hotpot, with its sweet and spicy broth filled with beef, veggies, and rice noodles.

Buildings in Chaozhou have a unique architectural style

Look out for shrines with their romantic courtyards and two-story pavilions. The decorative reliefs on the buildings showcase Chaozhou's history.
