Guangji Gate & Chaozhou City Wall
广济门
The east gate tower of Chaozhou's old city faces Guangji Bridge directly, and you can walk the city wall along the Han River for views of Xiangzi Bridge and the riverside at night.
Guangji Gate is the east gate of Chaozhou's old city. Its gate tower dates back to the Ming dynasty and stands by the Han River, facing Guangji Bridge across the water, making it one of the most classic views of the old town. The tower houses a small exhibition, and you can walk along the surviving stretch of about 2 km of old city wall, overlooking Paifang Street and the Han River. Walking the city wall is free, while climbing the gate tower costs about 10 yuan. The best view is from the wall when Guangji Bridge is lit up in the evening. The east end of Paifang Street is just outside the city gate.
Opening hours
Gate tower about 08:30–17:30; city wall open all day
