The ancient city of Chaozhou may not have experienced the imperial glory and political prominence of capitals like Nanjing or Xi’an, nor does it possess the laid-back charm and distinct ethnic character of Fenghuang Ancient Town. But like every ancient city in the world, it has its own unique history and personality bestowed by time.

The ancient city walls and gate towers are the most prominent symbols of the old town, telling the story of its history: periods of peace and prosperity; times of war and chaos when smoke filled the skies; and the heroic ballads of defending generals who fought bravely on the walls. The ancient city walls are like a living history book that records the culture of the old town.
