The Chaoshan region in S. China’s Guangdong Province is a place which blends the cultures of central China and those of the peripheral and coastal areas. The unique geography and history have bestowed the place with a culture that is not only distinct from its neighbors in Guangdong and the rest of China but also gives a profound influence on some areas in Southeast Asia. If you want to understand the beauty of Chaoshan culture, don’t miss the Chaoshan Intangible Cultural Exhibition Centre. It has 2 galleries containing 12 thematic exhibition areas which display woodcarvings, porcelain, embroidery, the making of local delicacies and other dazzling works. Photos: Deng Zijun/GT
