Use the arcade streets to understand an overseas port
Arcade architecture and trading-port streets
Choose the Qiaopi Museum for a human-scale explanation of the overseas connections visible around Shantou. Remittance letters connect money, work and family communication, making the port’s history more personal than a list of trading dates. Take time with a few documents and their explanations, then return to the surrounding old streets with those journeys in mind. This is a focused addition for someone interested in migration or family history. If you do not read Chinese, prepare a short explanation or ask what visitor interpretation is available before deciding how long to stay.
