Chaozhou - is not easy to say love you
Mentioned here in Chaozhou, Chaozhou city is.
September 13, 2003, our party came to Chaozhou City, visited the "old Chaozhou", "Guanyin Pavilion," "Ancient City Wall", "Kaiyuan Temple", "Xiang Zi Bridge" and "Han Gongci" six spots, night stay Kiu X Building, 10 points the next day to leave, the original intention to visit the Thai Buddhist temples and other attractions are also canceled. Control in the past I have been to a place, I have the following views:
Chaozhou attractions - Chaozhou attractions to visit poor already far away from each other, are hidden in the old streets, the car is difficult to reach, so instead sit manpower tricycle driver along the way introduced Chaozhou, feeling While it is not quite distinctive, but considered acceptable.
"Old Chaozhou" The fact is, "Chaozhou Museum", which quite deserted, the exhibition's content is negligible, no wonder locals just call it "old Chaozhou" and not called the "Museum"啦! However, it is also regarded as worthy of that money as long as 4 yuan tickets, but also half price!
"Guanyin Pavilion" As far as the Goddess of Mercy statue inside the driver said, there are 68 meters so high, but I do not seem looked like - view audio and video next to three small attic, by 10 meters high on each count, but also is 30 meters high. Daoshi door courtesy well: in front of stone steps on both sides of each of the stations are all about a beggar a warm welcome waiting for you out told you money, do not give him depends on a, followed by, or even chasing you. One claiming to be blind in one eye from a female beggar chasing cars to actually faster than the tricycle.
"Xiang Zi Bridge" Even more ridiculous, is actually over-Ebashi Dacheng steel, and walk in the above vehicles, pedestrians are not the kind of traffic order at all.
Other attractions addition to the "ancient city wall," the effect of the external camera can shoot outside, do not have much to say, and anyway you have less than five minutes to go want to go. There is little to buy spots in front of the Department of tricycle a stop on the "enthusiasm" give it with the preserved fruits red tea is free of charge solution solution you drink, and then pestered want you to patronize. Well ... ....
Traffic Chaozhou - Chaozhou traffic chaos can only be used one word to describe is the "chaos"! Hanjiang River in the east of us from Chaozhou bridge into the city center there are the "wild" feeling. Non-motor vehicles on the road than automobile Tao Tao still wide, but motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles and wearing mixed line, refused to give ground. We have experienced them collected from the hotel's parking lot to enter the vehicle Road, went so far as to wait until the green light to pass through the third non-motor Road. The sudden turning of vehicles on the road, a little diversion is usually not a very scary sign of the.
Chaozhou diet - more chaotic the Chaozhou-Shantou area is the birthplace of kung fu tea, but you enter the restaurant after restaurant you will find not say kung fu tea, even the basic door Fengcha way here, too free, and tea is not open, water is not down on the stage of the cup Zhang a mouth just to wait for you to use the service to buy soft drinks. Discuss several times, the waiter finally did reluctantly handed a cup of tea, but only to a cup and asked the people there, other people - to continue to discuss bar!
Chaozhou snack is said to be well known. Why do I use "allegedly" in this expression? Because we are in Chaozhou in the three meals are asked attendants, even they say. Asked, "Where can I find?" Is to say, do not know!
But there are also eye-opening, and said of the book. 13 noon, we arrived at the Chao Feng Road, three-star Golden XXX of the Seafood City building for lunch, when ordering waiter asked "Are you a few people?" I said, "six, four adults and two children." Later We are six points, according to the menu and dishes, and said that cases of brand component on it. To tell the truth, six points, six dishes should be sufficient. But the closing was found, every dish is almost twice as expensive than the menu and to waiter explained that she said: "The menus is the subject of four individual components, you now have six people, kitchen automatically adjust the weight." Strange ! The weight of our own point of necessary food, the kitchen on what basis he was "automatic" adjustment? Checkout staff so sure that the kitchen had been adjust the weight? Why not make it clear that when a la carte menu and just enough weight on the four available, so that the guests decide to choose cases of card, the card or the big-name, or select a number of dishes do more? Also, conventional plates for cooking only in the proportion of vegetables in your license a third to half the proportion of big-name brand food dish two-thirds to twice as expensive, even if the routine is not enough six personal use, at most they replaced in the card is enough, right? Why is the price of big income? ! Would also like to talk about the weight of the final dish, if the kitchen is really added a material a little better, but clearly indicating that the location of almost half a plate placed on the ornament, then in that tiny bit of food, even we called in Theory waiter said, "seemed to drop a little weight, I went to counter to talk about" the end result is a symbolic punched Jiuzhe be trouble.
Really, this time I was Renzai, and in vain I was flat where my colleagues labeled gourmet tour in almost three years I traveled to Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Hainan, met for the first time such a thing !
Chaozhou accommodations - strange Chaozhou hotel parking lot is usually from a relatively small channel and road connections, and barricaded the streets are often the motor vehicle Tao Tao and non-separated, such as to enter the hotel car park on the first through the railings and channel. However, only a general gap in the railings of the width of the car a little more, foreigners do not pay attention to the little crossed; with those other vehicles, pedestrians do not observe traffic rules, even if not easy to identify the intersection to enter. You can not help asking: Are these the hotel only for local service?
Live Jiudiankaifang to pay a deposit is the common practice in the hotel, the hotel opened a deposit receipt for customers to check-out carrying handle billing and returns, etc., and I have no objection. But we live in the "overseas Chinese X building" approach to Blame floor attendant insisted on a deposit receipt for you to give her custody before they would open the door to us, we challenged, she took out the other residents of the deposit receipt to the We see, said: "Everyone is like that?" No way, we had to do so. In fact, That's good, we do not worry about lost receipts suffered. I think we have half a day after the Chaozhou people's confidence has been shaken, and fear that they would go back on to say that we have to retrieve a deposit only.
There is also a strange, that is, we choose the hotel, visited "X Ye Hotel" examine critically before deciding on requests made, with a total station attendant, said: "Yes, you go to the fifth floor bar where there are attendants." To the fifth floor, the waiter opened a room to us, I saw, said: "they can be, that is a bit smaller, there are other rooms it?" "has wow!" "can be opened to see it?" "That you want to to the total station to ask, she said that what you give you room to see what the rooms look! (very firm like Oh) "actually there is such a business model? ! We did not say anything, down to leave immediately.
In addition, we check out the next day, attendants also have to go back to the open room card before processing. Probably not want us to remember that be it.
Does not matter啦, since we do not intend to come again, Chaozhou probably does not cherish the arrival of outsiders. After returning, I immediately changed by my organization in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces travel plans, originally intended to stay two days in the Chaoshan plan to remove the out.
For Chaozhou I do not want to say anything, they just want to say - "Chaozhou, is not easy to say love you!"
