Exploring Chaozhou’s Phoenix Mountain: Tea, Trails & Tranquility 🍃🫖

Chaozhou isn’t just about classical architecture – head to the Phoenix Mountain Ecotourism Area and you’ll find next-level scenery and the authentic tea experience! Here’s why it’s a top spot if you’re craving nature plus some seriously good tea.

Must-See: Phoenix Mountain Ecotourism Area (广东省潮州市潮安区凤凰镇)
This lush zone is basically paradise for hikers and tea lovers. Wander through misty gardens, spot ancient tea trees, and breathe the clean mountain air. Pro tip: Top plantations here are famous for their Phoenix Dancong teas — an absolute must-try.

What to Do:
– Tour the tea plantations: Farmers might even show you the harvest process if you’re curious!
– Sip local tea on the mountain: Order a pot at one of the teahouses for epic views and that legendary floral aroma. Tea up high just hits different, trust me.
– Easy to medium hiking trails: The paths aren’t too tough and lead to stunning viewpoints. Bring a windbreaker — it can get breezy up there.

Getting There:
You can grab a taxi or a Didi from Chaozhou’s city center to 凤凰山 (roughly 1 hour). For budget travelers, consider a local bus to 凤凰镇, then catch a short ride up the mountain.

Food Tip:
Try a simple farmer’s meal at a local restaurant before you leave the area — mountain veggies and tofu are super fresh.

Essentials:
– Cash preferred at mountain stalls.
– Bring your own water bottle (fewer shops than in the city).
– Go early for more peace and stunning morning views!
