Shopping

Chaozhou is a good place to buy Teochew craft goods that have genuine provenance: the embroidery workshops in the old city still produce the distinctive hand-stitched silk panels used in ceremonial costumes and temple decorations. Iron teapots and the tiny clay cups used in kung fu tea are sold throughout the Paifang Street area at reasonable prices. The ceramics from Fengxi district — a style of blanc-de-chine porcelain distinct from the Shiwan tradition in Foshan — are worth looking at if you have room in your luggage.
