Zhangzhou

Chaozhou is a famous historical and cultural city with more than 1,300 years of history. Generation after generation of renown figures were born here. This small city has a very profound cultural heritage and is the hometown of many overseas Chinese and Taiwanese. The local southern Fujianese culture is recognized as part of the nation's intangible cultural heritage. In addition to the people, this land also has a very special spirit. The fragrant clouds of incense at Sanping Temple, the mysterious Fengdong Stone of Dongshan Island, the unique architecture of the Hakka Tulou and the famous Yundongyan are well worth seeing. Scenes from the 2006 film "The Knot" were shot at Chaozhou's Yunshuiyu Ancient Town. The exquisite ocean landscape here is not to be missed.
