Continuing my eastern Guangdong province tour ... also refer to my Shantou thread : click here.

A short bus ride away from Shantou is Chaozhou, a major cultural hub with its own unique dialect and cuisine. Chaozhou's decline took place in the 17th century when some 100,000 people were believed to have been killed for opposing the Qing Dynasty. Famine and poverty led to migration in the 19th century, spreading Chaozhou culture through the large overseas diaspora.
