广东潮州牌坊街/Memorial Archway Street of Chaozhou
Please scroll down for introduction in English.
潮州城是古代府治、县治所在，古代潮州的城市建筑很有规划，现在的太平路就是当时的中轴线。太平路上有无数巷道，巷口设门，这就是坊。坊又称闾，古代有表闾制度，主要是用于表彰住在坊里的名贤。表闾时在坊门上设牌，这就是牌坊（潮州人俗称亭）。潮州的牌坊种类之多世上罕见，无论是牌坊数量或是种类，都堪称全国之最。因此潮州又有牌坊城之称，太平路更被人们称为牌坊街。
据文献记载，原潮州古城和周边农村共有各种牌坊152座，尤以太平路的牌坊最为精致。这些石牌坊多以四柱三门三层结构，甚为雄伟壮观。遗憾的是，上世纪五十年代初，这些石牌坊因妨碍交通惨遭灭顶之灾而被拆除殆尽，太平街上牌坊林立的景观只能留存在人们的记忆中。
潮州牌坊街修复工程总投资为7500万元，建成后牌坊的数量和种类将居全国之冠。太平路曾是潮州古城最为繁华的处所，自明代以来建有各种风格的牌坊达47座，形成全国罕见的牌坊街景。
太平路潮州牌坊街修复工程即将完成.修复概述:潮州牌坊街总长1948米，以准步行街的形式进行规划设计，拟修复明清古牌坊22座，其中太平路20座，东门街2座，力求恢复古牌坊的历史风貌和艺术特色。牌坊街修复后，可连接己略黄公祠、经过开元寺，进入牌坊街，再过广济门进入广济桥，形成一条亮丽的旅游风景线.
The ancient memorial archways (paifang 牌坊) of Chaozhou are a unique feature of this historic city. In terms of sheer numbers, types and concentration, these imposing structures used to be unparalleled in the whole of China. Aside from enhancing the aesthetics of the city, they played the primary role of commemorating important achievements and civic contributions.
Constructed during the Ming and Qing era, the total number of archways used to total up to 152, and those located along the citys central axis, along Taiping Street (太平路), were known to be the most exquisite and intricate. However, these structurally unstable stone structures were entirely torn down in the early 1950s, as they often caused accidents.
Restoration works for Taiping Street began in 2007 and is close to completion. The entire length of the restored archway street stretches 1948m, incorporating 22 replicas of the demolished archways, a pedestrian mall, shops, performance avenues for cultural arts and even an ancient well.
(Comment: It's an ambitious and costly undertaking, most commendable effort indeed but one wonders if they charge entrance fees to enter the street once the project is completed... Hope not!)

Chaoyang is a little and cute town which is a district of Shantou City. there is no doubt that it is worth a visit. People can travel this place by train from hong kong. At these days, I experienced lots of local cuisines and full of chinese traditional culture from her typical family.

汕頭礐石天壇花園九天玄女寶塔及蒂蒂香手打魚丸-粵語解述2017 Goddess of war, sexuality, and longevity
2017汕頭礐石風景區,是南國奇石多而聞名遐邇的風景勝地，與汕頭市隔海相望。而宏偉壯觀的天壇花園，恰似鑲嵌在礐石風景區的一顆璀璨明珠。備受中外遊人所矚目。天壇花園位於礐石山東麓，依山傍海，海角自然風光旖旎。這裡有山澗曲徑林蔭，花香鳥語鳴囀之悅耳，無鬧市車水馬龍之喧嘩;有海角天涯發人幽思的景色。白花尖大廟、寶塔、九天禪院、龍船舫、思親堂，堪稱自然風景與人工巧築奇合的佳構，典雅堂皇廟殿。被冠為粵東第一塔之九天玄女寶塔，高聳入雲。所塑神佛，神人共襄,披澤南天。遊人可登塔眺望汕頭現代景觀，宛若海市蜃樓之幻現。白花尖大廟位於礐石風景區東麓海濱，其單體面積居全省之冠的大廟——白花尖大廟，也稱九天娘娘廟，1993年10月落成時，有 海內外人士多達五萬之眾參加了開光大典，盛況空前，此後成為汕頭旅遊熱點。大廟主神九天聖母娘娘，又名“九天玄女”，傳說為上古女神，人頭鳥身，是聖母元君弟子、黃帝之師，輔助黃帝戰勝蚩尤安定天下而得敕封為女神。
大廟門前廣闊的石板埕，寬40米、深40米。中間裝飾石刻雙龍奪寶 ，還配有雕刻各種龍的白石欄杆，是從江西井岡山運來的石料刻制，莊重雅觀。加之各種花卉盆景，使廣埕別有一番風景。大埕正中，設立“天地父 母”亭，鑄聯雲：“天恩普施世民沾霖露，地靈人傑安樂升 平”。亭後置一對 鐵鑄大香爐。即接近大門之埕置有一對雕藝精湛的大石 獅，兩個寶鼎，兩株高聳的木棉樹，還有一口泉水充沛的“青蛙泉” 古井。大廟門樓，立有4枝盤龍大柱，南、北牆各有一幅高2.6米，寬8.75 米的大型泥塑浮雕壁畫。北有《女媧補天》，大廟左、右門匾刻“驪山聖母 ”、“天后聖母”，門聯木刻：“九天廣恩四海直同天， 對母渡世眾生施雨露”。大廟門六幅彩繪文武大將尉遲恭、程咬金、魏征、 徐茂公、謝映登驅邪的油畫，給遊客以威嚴之感。
汕頭蒂蒂香達濠魚丸店以魚丸、魚餃及魚麵為主，全部都用新鮮九棍魚手打而成，魚鮮味分外濃郁。店主每天早上才用豬骨熬製湯底，甜而不膩，突出各款魚肉手製品的味道。其中原粒魚丸單靠九棍魚打起黏度及甜鮮味，因此手打時間最長，打起膠後還會用人手逐粒逐粒唧成丸狀，基本上是全人手製成。在汕頭只賣每碗十元,但同樣的一碗在香港要賣上四十元才有利錢。

Former Residence of Chen Cihong 中国广东澄海陈慈黉故居
This splendid mansion is located at Chenghai District (澄海区), a short distance from the cities of Shantou (汕头) and Chaozhou (潮州) of China's Guangdong Province (广东省). It is presently a museum, displaying a curious but harmonious mix of east-west architectural influences, with eclectic decorative elements. Many of the decorative ceramic tiles are similar in aesthetic styles as those found in the old town of Malacca. A Peranakan link, perhaps?
This mansion was originally owned by Thai-based Chinese rice mechant Mr Chen Cihong (陈慈黉). Constuction work began in 1922, and spanned many years, but eventually halted during the invasion of the Japanese in 1939.
Despite the passing years, the structural state of this cluster of buildings remains in very good shape, and the aesthetic elements are generally well preserved. Definitely worth a visit!
Heart of a city – The Nansheng Department Store, Shantou
Every city has areas that shine for a few decades and then fade away but none so visible as Shantou. In the 1930’s a new commercial district was built with a new shinny department store at its heart. Streets radiated in every direction full of shops and small markets. It stayed the epicenter of this thriving port city until the local government rebuilt the central business district in the 1990s to the west, leaving the store and the streets around it to slowly decay.

广东潮州广济楼(东门楼)/Guangji Gate Tower of Chaozhou
Please scroll down for introduction in English.
广济门城楼座落在湘子桥西端，是潮州城的主要标志。广济门城楼原称广济楼，也称韩江楼，民间俗称东门楼。广济楼始建于明洪武三年(1370年)，历代均有不同程度的维修，民国廿年(1931年)重修。
广济门城楼是一座宫殿式三层歇山顶阁楼，外城门原有东为万春门额。楼置于高大厚实的台基上，拱门中开，面阔七间，进深五间，前后面为木石柱相衔接支撑，并跨出城墙外，成为骑楼。城楼为仿宫殿式建筑，重檐歇山顶，配以玻璃瓦红彤壁，朱柱格子窗，画栋雕梁，显得雄伟壮观。城楼中开拱门，高3．62米，宽2．9米。三楼悬巨型铜钟1座，铸于南宋绍兴四年（1134）。原置于马王庙，庙废，遂移此。广济门大江前横，长桥当户，扼守闽赣交通要冲。沿广济门城楼南北两侧，至今还有2000多米长的古城墙和竹木门、上水门、下水门3座古城楼。暮春三月，登楼眺望，韩江水涨，烟波浩渺，笔峰如画，行船如梭，别有一番景致，故潮州内八景有东楼观潮之胜。
Guangji Gate Tower, commonly known as Han River Tower, or East Gate Tower, is the most spectacular of the seven ancient city gates of Chaozhou city. The 600-year old city gate overlooks the Hanjiang River and the famous Guangji Bridge, or Xiangzi Bridge. It is the emblem of the city, and also plays a key role in flood control when water of the Hanjiang River threatens to overflow its banks.
The tower was built in 1370, during the Ming dynasty and had undergone various rounds of restorative work during the past centuries. The last round of restorative work commenced in September 2002 and was completed by January 2004.
