This classy Qing-style inn with graceful courtyards and antique woodcarvings is the place to stay in Chaozhou. Rooms are small but clean and far from street noise, though wooden-gate-style doors might feel too exposed for some. Prices more than double during holidays. Located in an alley off Paifang Jie; ¥10 by pedicab from the main bus station.
Look for the four wooden, diamond-shaped signs with golden characters.
