Chao Zhou
Home of China's Most Refined Cuisine
Teochew (Chaozhou) cuisine is widely considered the most delicate and precise in China, obsessed with the freshness of each ingredient rather than bold spicing. The city's braised goose, oyster omelettes, and handmade dim sum have traveled with the Teochew diaspora across Southeast Asia. Its ancient city wall and temple precinct remain among the best-preserved in southern China.
