Ba Xiansheng (Mr 8),<br />

good place for hotpot. The claypot<br />

the restaurant also offers plum<br />
syrup to whet your appetite.<br />

Resort where you can swim,<br />
barbecue, play games and enjoy<br />

the sunrise in the morning after<br />
spending the night on the beach.<br />

WITH THE GANG: Express<br />
your emotions at the Huanledi KTV.<br />
It’s the cheapest karaoke bar in<br />
town with good acoustics.<br />

Mooncakes. The traditional<br />
Chaoshan mooncake is different.<br />
It has a crisp surface and delicious<br />
soft mung bean paste fi lling that is<br />
