Jieyang is more suitable for friends who travel by car. Even if you don't drive, it's not troublesome to take the high-speed rail.
The attractions are concentrated in the old city area around Jinxianmen, which can be reached on foot. Jieyang's streets are narrow, so it is recommended to use shared bicycles or shared electric vehicles, which are cheaper and free. Please pay attention to safety when using them.
Booking Didi on WeChat is the fastest and easiest way.
You can also choose to take the bus, but the frequency may be less, so you need to know it in advance. When riding, just tell the driver where to get off. The bus is also a particularly preferential option

Jieyang (; Chaozhou dialect: gig4 iên5; Jieyang dialect: gêg4 ion5) is a prefecture-level city in eastern Guangdong Province (Yuedong), People's Republic of China, part of the Chaoshan region whose people speak Chaoshan Min distinct from neighbouring Yue speakers. It is historically important as the hometown of many overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. It borders Shantou to the east, Chaozhou to the northeast, Meizhou to the north, Shanwei to the west, and looks out to the South China Sea to the south.
== History == The name Jieyang can be traced back to the 33rd year of Qin Shi Huang (214 BC) when the emperor set up a garrison on the south side of Jieling (揭嶺之陽). In Chinese fengshui, facing south means "yang" (陽), which is propitious. Jieling means Mount Jie, so is the name Jieyang (揭陽).
