Dapeng Ancient City

It is a 600‑year‑old coastal defense fortress from the Ming and Qing dynasties. More than a dozen generals came from here. Back in the Ming dynasty, about 1,000 soldiers settled here with their families under the garrison‑farm system. They farmed in peace and fought in war. Some local residents still live inside the city. Walking through narrow lanes feels like stepping back in time.

12:00 – 13:00

Lunch, Teochew Cuisine

It is light‑fresh and highlights natural flavors. It is famous for seafood. Each dish comes with its own dipping sauce. Dishes are delicately prepared. Popular classics include marinated goose, beef hot pot, raw marinated seafood.

13:00 – 14:00

Eyewear Wholesale Market

This eyewear wholesale market focuses on high‑end frames, including hand‑made acetate and premium titanium frames. It is a major global high‑end eyewear manufacturing base. Over 80% of its products are exported overseas, supplying around 50% of the world’s mid‑to‑high‑end eyewear market. Many international luxury brands are manufactured here. Both wholesale and retail are available, with one‑stop eye‑testing and glasses‑making service.

14:30 – 15:30

16:00 – 17:00

Half of China’s wholesale jewelry comes from here, including 70 % of the country’s gold and 80 % of diamonds. 90 % of Chinese jewelry brands have their purchasing offices here. The range covers K‑gold, platinum, natural diamonds, lab‑grown diamonds, gemstones, lab‑grown gemstones, jadeite and pearls. Wholesale, retail and custom‑made services are all available, with prices much lower than brand‑name stores.

17:30 – 18:30

Dinner, Authentic Hakka Cuisine

The literal meaning of "Hakka" is "guest families". The ancestors of the Hakka people originally lived in northern China. Due to ancient wars, they migrated south to Guangdong in several large‑scale waves. Local residents called these newcomers "Hakka", meaning people living away from their hometowns, and the name has been kept ever since.

  • Hakka cuisine preserves ancient culinary traditions from the Central Plains. It is cooked in a simple way, with rich, salty‑savoury flavours. It is one of the well‑known Guangdong culinary styles.
19:00 – 20:00
