China's Most Magical Ancient Bridge: Burning Bridges

In the ancient city of Chaozhou, there is a bridge with a thousand-year history called Guangji Bridge😜. This is the real-life version of burning bridges, and it is one of China's four famous ancient bridges, along with Zhaozhou Bridge in Hebei, Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou, and Lugou Bridge in Beijing👏. It looks like a beautiful long rainbow lying across the Han River, opening and closing for over 800 years, standing firm like a loyal old friend, witnessing the changes of time😃. Stepping onto Guangji Bridge, the stone slabs underfoot seem to whisper to me, telling stories of the past. The marks on the stone slabs, worn by time, seem to record the footsteps of many people from ancient times to the present, carrying their various emotions—joyful, sad, happy, and sorrowful😔. Each stone slab is like a thick old book, inscribed with stories of time, some filled with vicissitudes, others with glory🌟. A gentle breeze blows, the river surface shimmering, complementing the bridge, creating an incredibly beautiful picture🤩

Chaozhou 2 Days 1 Night Guide | Recommended by locals

| Recommended by locals. Chaozhou 2 Days 1 Night Guide | Recommended by locals❗️Must see When it comes to Chaozhou, I start drooling, and after craving for a long time, we finally set off! 1️⃣Transportation Departing from Shanghai to Jieyang Airport, our itinerary was to first go to Nan'ao Island, then to Shantou and finally to wander and eat in Chaozhou. Shantou➡️Chaozhou: You can choose to take a taxi, about 50 minutes; or you can take a bus, 28 yuan per ticket, which can be purchased in advance on the 'Chaozhou Yueyun' official WeChat account. 2️⃣Accommodation For accommodation, we chose the hotel 'Seclusion', about 1 kilometer away from Chaozhou ancient city🏛️. The distance is just right, because being too close to the ancient city can be a bit noisy, and it's inconvenient to take a taxi🚗 on the pedestrian streets, while being too far is not convenient for traveling and sightseeing. The hotel we stayed in is very artistic, with simple and mixed decorations that include technology style, equipped with automatic curtains🪟, bathtubs🛀, and screen projection, warm, comfortable, and convenient. 3️⃣Attractions When visiting Chaozhou, you absolutely cannot miss these places! The first stop is Kaiyuan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple with thriving incense, where every corner is permeated with a sense of historical weight, inspiring awe. We found the famous check-in spot 'Destined Kaiyuan' and posed for half a day. Then we walked to Paifang Street, which seems to transport you back to ancient Chaozhou, with antique buildings and various archways that are too many to take in at once. Taking photos📷 and checking in is definitely a hit on the friend circle🟢. We went there on a Saturday, and it was quite crowded; it should be better on weekdays. Don't forget to visit Zhenhai Tower🏠, the tallest building in Chaozhou. Standing on the tower, you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire city, an absolute visual treat! Guangji Tower and Guangji Bridge🌉 are also must-visit spots. Guangji Tower is simple and elegant, a symbolic building of Chaozhou ancient city; Guangji Bridge is a magical ancient bridge that combines beam, pontoon, and arch bridges. 4️⃣Food How can you miss these authentic snacks🫕 when playing in Chaozhou? Recommended by locals, not to be missed. Guantang Chao Fu Chen Beef🥩 Hotpot: A decade-old brand, with its own slaughterhouse in Guantang, the beef is fresh and juicy, perfect after boiling for eight seconds, and even better when dipped in satay sauce, simply delicious! Linghai Fish Raw🐟 Stall • Braised Goose with White Porridge: Chaozhou fish raw is second to none. The fish slices🍥 are as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, paired with a special sauce, they melt in your mouth, incredibly fresh. We heard before coming that we couldn't miss the raw pickled hasma, and it was indeed a rare delicacy, with a smooth texture and delicious taste that is irresistible. Traditional Desserts·Chaozhou Handmade Sweet Soup (Paifang Street Store): You must try Chaozhou sweet soup, Yangzhi Ganlu🍨, refreshing and delicious; the special coconut milk taro duck mother twist, with dense and delicate taro, rich and creamy coconut milk, a rich taste that lingers on and on; Old Movie Theater Uncle's Braised Goose🦢 (Zhenhai Tower Store): Lion head goose platter, the goose wings are full and juicy, each bite seems to bite into the perfect blend of fresh meat and marinade; the goose meat is fresh and not greasy, melts in your mouth, leaving a lasting impression. There are also fermented tofu chicken wings🍗, fermented tofu cakes, sugar onion bobbing🍕, kuih juice and so many more, Chaozhou is really too delicious, my 256G stomach can't hold it anymore!

After returning from Chaoshan, to be honest, I really suggest watching it before you go

🌟 Chaoshan Trip: 24 Years of Deep Affection 🍜 First Encounter with Chaoshan, A Feast for the Taste Buds Initially, I set foot on the land of Chaoshan, attracted by the local cuisine. However, my 24-year journey in Chaoshan has given me a whole new understanding of this land. 🎉 Rich Festive Atmosphere, Warm Human Touch The festive atmosphere here, the enthusiasm of the people, and their adherence to traditional culture have moved me to tears. As a traveler who has visited more than 200 cities, I can responsibly say that Chaoshan has the richest festive atmosphere, unmatched by any other. 🌆 Impressions of Shantou, Sunset over the Orange Sea A phrase 'truly intoxicating' brought me to the real Shantou. Amidst the crowd in the small park, savoring authentic Chaoshan tea, I was infected by the passionate 'Chinese War Dance' and watched the sunset slowly dip down, dyeing the water into an orange sea. 🏰 Exploring Chaozhou, Ancient City Charm Of course, Chaoshan is not just Shantou. How can you come to Chaoshan and not visit Chaozhou? To witness the 'bridge dismantling after crossing' at Guangji Bridge, stroll along the largest archway street, and then enjoy a steaming hot pot of sand pot porridge and beef hot pot. 🗺️ Chaoshan 2️⃣ Days 1️⃣ Night Travel Itinerary Day1: Shantou Intangible Cultural Heritage Tour Catholic Church - Cunxin Shantang - Guanyin Temple - Small Park - Houxi Village/Fenggang Village War Dance and other performances Day2: Chaozhou Ancient City Citywalk Qinglong Ancient Temple - Guangji Bridge - Guangji Tower - Archway Street - Kaiyuan Temple - Zhenhai Tower - Guangji Tower Night View 📸 Photo Check-in Spots Guanyin Temple: The busiest rooftop in the country, with exquisite carvings of classical Chinese literature.

Chaozhou Three-Day Two-Night Food and Sightseeing Guide (Part 1)

I've longed to visit Chaozhou, and I finally managed to arrange the trip✈️ Although three days and two nights is not a lot of time, I was able to satisfy my cravings and sightseeing desires😌. The only downside was the weather; it was overcast and rainy☔️. Weather really does play an important role when going out to have fun~ 🚘Transportation: Day one Nanjing✈️Jieyang🚕Shantou Day two Shantou chartered car tour around Nan'ao Island, circling the island, then off to Chaozhou Day three Chaozhou🚕Jieyang✈️Nanjing 🏨Accommodation: Shantou——Junhua Haiyi Hotel, just a five-minute walk to Longyan South Road, convenient for ordering takeout, with butler service in the hotel, which is quite considerate. However, the hotel is clearly dated, with older facilities. Chaozhou——Tengrui Crown Hotel, quite new, we stayed on the 38th floor with a nice view, the room environment and facilities were great~ The service was okay, not as considerate as the butler service in Shantou. 🎈Fun: Shantou——Strolled around the Little Park and Shantou Travel Agency, quite leisurely, good for taking photos, but the ferry ride back and forth didn't seem very interesting. Nan'ao Island——The chartered driver took us around for a check-in tour, there are many scenic spots, but unfortunately the weather was bad, so we just took photos for check-in. Nan'ao Island's beaches are nice, we could bring kids here in the future and stay on the island for a night. Chaozhou——Hanwen Gongci and Guangji Bridge are worth visiting, they have a strong sense of history and are close to each other, the light show on Guangji Bridge is quite stunning! Paifang Street is full of merchants, similar to Nanjing's Laomendong 😊Chaozhou is really delicious, with historical sites, culture, and natural scenery. Next time, I'll wait for good weather and come to play again👋

An ancient bridge in Guangdong has become popular, it is open during the day and splits into two at night

The scenes of relatives leaving and lovers separating often occur at the ferry crossing by the bridge. Standing at the head of the bridge, seeing the separation of relatives, it is inevitable to feel a sense of sorrow, and these strands of sorrow and bits of resentment have been transformed into beautiful texts and magnificent poems by literati, which are recited by people and add an artistic atmosphere to these ancient bridges. Today, let's walk into the Guangji Bridge, located opposite the Guangjimen City Tower on Huancheng East Road in Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and see what different sceneries there are here. Although there are many similar ancient bridges in our country, the Guangji Bridge hidden in Guangdong is open during the day and splits into two at night, opening and closing for more than 800 years! Guangji Bridge, commonly known as Xiangzi Bridge, was built in the seventh year of Song Qiandao (1171 AD) and has a long history. Not only that, but it is also worth mentioning that it is also known as one of the 'Four Ancient Bridges of China' along with Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge. The surface of the Guangji Bridge is antique, the bridge spans the Han River, and combines beam bridges, arch bridges, and pontoon bridges into one, with a very special structure, which can be called a unique example in the history of bridges in our country.

Guang Ji Bridge

The Guang Ji Bridge in Han Jiang River. Another location to venture to. The Guangji bridge is a magnificent sight. The bridge is a fun place to take pictures and see the beauty of the Han Jiang River. The fun part of the bridge is the boat crossing. Hold on tight! Haha. The bridge was built to help merchants cross the river safely. While walking across the river, take lots of pictures and enjoy the wonderful architectural design. Enjoy the bridge. I highly recommend it. #newyearadventure

Chaozhou (Teochew) is an excellent place to spend a weekend. The most famous sight in Chaozhou is the Guangji Bridge 广济桥, partly consisting of stone towers with a pontoon section in the middle that can be opened by moving the wooden boats. The extant bridge is a modern reconstruction of the ancient original, but it looks convincing. It's a little bit dear to cross, but the ticket itself is a postage-paid postcard. The old city of Chaozhou retains its ancient wall on the river side, which makes a nice spot for a stroll. Visit the picturesque West Lake, 西湖, and then walk along Zhongshan Road towards the river to see many workshops where the traditional art of Chaozhou woodcarving is still practised. The temples and ancestral halls in the old town are richly decorated with such carving. Finally, stroll along the century-old main street marked by dozens of memorial arches and try some tasty street food or buy some locally made satay sauce to take home. Several trains a day go from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Chaoshan Station, from where you can get a bus to Chaozhou itself. Chaozhou is not very big, so you can easily visit it and neighbouring Shantou (Swatow) in a weekend. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #oldtown #historicculture #historicallandmarks #chaozhou #teochew #guangdong #china #weekendtrip #sightseeing

Chaozhou Guangji Bridge

Guangji Bridge, also known as Xiangzi Bridge, is located outside the east gate of Chaozhou Ancient City in Guangdong Province. It spans the Han River, connecting the east and west banks, and was an important transportation hub in ancient Guangdong. It is a combination of beam bridge, pontoon bridge, and arch bridge, and is one of the eight scenic spots of Chaozhou, as well as a unique example in the history of Chinese bridges. Guangji Bridge was built in 1171 by Zeng Jiang, the governor of Chaozhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. It was originally a pontoon bridge made up of 86 large boats. In 1206, 13 piers were built, forming the basic structure of a beam bridge combined with a pontoon bridge. In 1228, after 54 years of construction, 10 piers were completed. In 1513, the governor Tan Lun added another pier and reduced the number of floating boats to six, creating the unique style of "eighteen shuttle boats and twenty-four islets." In 1724, the governor Zhang Ziqian repaired Guangji Bridge and cast two iron oxen, which were placed on the eighth pier of the west bridge and the twelfth pier of the east bridge. In March 1988, Guangji Bridge was declared a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council. Guangji Bridge, along with Zhaozhou Bridge, Luoyang Bridge, and Lugou Bridge, is known as one of the "Four Ancient Bridges of China" and is the first drawbridge in China and the world. It is one of the famous attractions in Chaozhou and was praised by the famous bridge expert Mao Yisheng as the earliest drawbridge in the world. In July 2022, Guangji Bridge was selected as one of the first batch of provincial-level civilized tourism demonstration units in Guangdong Province. In July 2023, the case of "Chaozhou Guangji Bridge, Guangji Tower Intangible Cultural Heritage + Cultural Tourism Integration" was selected as one of the top 100 cultural heritage tourism cases in China in 2022. In the afternoon, there is a bridge dismantling activity, which is worth seeing. At night, the Guangji Bridge with the light show is also very charming.

Guangji Bridge.

Guangji Bridge is one of China's most famous ancient bridges. It is located outside the east gate of Chaozhou Ancient City in Guangdong Province, spanning the Han River and connecting the two banks of the river. It is known for its unique bridge construction style and is known as the "world's first drawbridge." Guangji Bridge was first built in the 7th year of the Qiandao period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1171). It was originally built by Zeng Wang, the governor of Chaozhou, who ordered the construction of stone piers and used 86 shuttle boats connected by iron chains to form a pontoon bridge, named "Kangji Bridge." Later, after being repaired by officials of successive dynasties, it gradually formed a unique pattern of "eighteen shuttle boats and twenty-four piers." The structure of Guangji Bridge is composed of two stone beam bridges in the east and west sections and a pontoon bridge in the middle. The eastern beam bridge is 283.35 meters long, the western beam bridge is 137.3 meters long, and the middle pontoon bridge is 97.3 meters long, connected by eighteen wooden boats. This floating beam structure can reduce the number of piers in the middle, greatly reducing the resistance to runoff. In the event of a flood, the pontoon bridge can be opened to quickly discharge the flood, improving the flood discharge capacity of the bridge. Guangji Bridge is not only a landmark building in Chaozhou but also a treasure in the history of Chinese bridge construction. It has witnessed the historical changes of Chaozhou, carries rich cultural connotations, and is still a part of the lives of the people of Chaozhou, attracting tourists from all over the world.
