The Chaoshan History and Culture Expo Center is a modern showcase for the broader Teochew-speaking region: Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang, and the overseas communities linked to them. Exhibits and events focus on opera, craft, foodways, migration, and folk religion.
It is especially useful if you are visiting Shantou and Chaozhou together. The building's scale can feel official, but the subject matter is exactly what makes this corner of Guangdong distinctive.
