This is the second time I took Xiaobu out to play on the high-speed rail. After buying a good high-speed rail ticket through Trip.com, I got on the train directly from West Kowloon and arrived at my destination - Shantou in about 3 hours!
There are a few things to note when taking a bicycle on the high-speed rail
1. There aren’t many places to put large luggage in the HSR, you really need to occupy your seat and communicate well with other passengers (really don’t be disrespectful and argue with others).
2. Bicycles must be packed properly to enter the gate
Why bring a bike? What are the advantages of bringing a bike?
1. Walking too slowly, riding too fast, cycling can reach many corners that you can’t usually reach
2. Cycling on the mainland, the roads are beautiful and wide, is a kind of enjoyment
3. Save on point-to-point transportation costs, time is completely in your own hands
So what’s the trouble with cycling?
1. The first trouble on the high-speed rail section has been shared.
2. Although the roads are beautiful and wide, but to the city is still very many cars very chaotic. Positive thinking is some good to hone yourself in the scene, a little negative to see, in fact, very dangerous. Beginners should do what they can.
What to do in Shantou
1. South Australia Island - In terms of transportation, we are pedaling directly to the pier this time, but because there are only 2 pairs of boats round trip each day, starting from Shantou in the morning at 9:00 and 15:00, if you miss, you can only charter a car into the island.
There will be a bridge toll for chartering a car into the island, which is $96 for a typical small car. Including fare about 120 a car. The bridge toll is only charged to the upper island and not to the exit, so don't be fooled if you go out of the island. If you take the boat, it's $10 per seat. Same price round trip.
There are quite a lot of attractions and places to play on the island, and if you don’t have a car or bike, you can rent an electric chicken. Don't underestimate the island, walk around the 70-80k, no car can be said to have quite a high ability to handle.
Seafood at the fish market on the island is very cheap. Oysters are a dollar a piece. You can buy them for processing in restaurants, or take them back to the hotel and make them yourself in a kettle. But use the hotel tools, please clean him before returning the room to others, after all, go out to play do not disgrace Hong Kong people.
Attractions in Shantou city
1. Small park
2. Wanxiang City (don’t go to Wanxianghui)
3. East Coast Park
Because of limited time this time, only recently went to 3 places. But the three places each have their own characteristics, that are very fun.
What can we eat in Shantou?
1. Oyster cake that can be used by everyone
2. Hand-cut beef hot pot
3. Stewed Goose Hot Pot
4. Longan South Road Street Food
5. Run Street Street Food
6. Dao Hing Coffee
7. Raw pickled
8. High crab porridge
9. Sanchunli Teochew style ice cream
10. Licorice fruit
If you like to eat, Shantou really has no talk, I rarely guarantee, but this time I dare to say guaranteed satisfaction.
Finally, I must introduce this Thai massage.
I hope this helps, I didn't think it could be so much fun so close.
