Chaozhou is a place with long lasting traditions and is famous for its performance arts, unique cuisine and manufacturing of ceramics. The city is reputed to have over 600 historical sites to visit and attracts a fair number of Chinese tourists but relatively few Westerners, which means few people speak English.
