Chaoyang District

Chaoyang District is an administrative region in Shantou, China, that encompasses multiple distinct neighborhoods and commercial centers spread across the area. It includes several established streets and localities that form the core of its urban and semi-urban landscape.

The district originated during the Qing Dynasty as part of the broader Chaozhou administrative structure. It underwent its final reorganization in 1983 to form the administrative district known today.

Street markets throughout the area showcase traditional Cantonese cuisine and local products that reflect regional food culture. Residents speak local dialects and maintain customs passed down through generations.

Regular bus services connect the different neighborhoods and major commercial centers throughout the area. Travel between distant sections may take longer due to the district's size.

The district contains a striking contrast between rapidly developed urban areas in the north and agricultural zones in the south. This division allows visitors to experience both contemporary city life and rural farming within the same administrative area.
