Enjoy the Delicacy of Kongfu Tea in Chaozhou

In Chaozhou, you must taste Chaozhou snacks like beef balls, shrimp balls, fish dumplings, pot-stewed chicken and duck and local pickles and appetizers. Like most other ancient cities in China, Chaozhou has a great variety of traditional snacks featuring exquisite shapes and divine tastes.

Take a stroll through the streets and lanes of Chaozhou, and take a minute to sip Kongfu tea. Any house or office will have a side table reserved for tea, and you might be invited to stay for a cup.

It is not surprising. Kongfu tea is an essential ingredient of Chaozhou citizens' daily life. It has exacting requirements for the heat of the water, tea leaves, tea sets, the tea-making process and even the method of drinking.

My heart longs for tranquil Chaozhou.
