Remittance letters and family migration history
In Shantou’s Small Park district, follow the arcade streets around the central pavilion, noticing how shopfronts, upper floors and covered edges shape the walk. Choose a small area and a food break instead of turning the restored quarter into an endless photo circuit. The place makes a good counterpart to Chaozhou’s temple-and-river setting: it brings a more recent trading-city layer into a Chaoshan stay. Add a heritage display only if it deepens that interest, and leave ordinary shopping as part of the street rather than a separate obligation.
