Memorial Tomb of Thailand’s Teochew King: There was no sealed road to reach it. Nothing much to see. We saw broken down huts nearby.
Huafu village (华 富 村 Hua10Pu54Chng3) It is the native place of Thailand’s Teochew King (泰 国 郑 王 原 址 Thai54Kog0 Te`0Uan1 G`uan10Zi4): The village can be seen from the memorial tomb, on the other side of a large pond. Huafu village did not look “magnificent and rich” as its name means.
Former Residence of Chen Cihuan (陈 慈 黉 故 居 Tan10Chi10Huan1 Kou42Ker3): It is the biggest manor in Chaoshan. Built in Chinese peasant building style mixed with western style. Started building in 1910 and took a few decades to complete the 4 blocks, totalling 506 rooms covering 25,400 sq m. Japanese invaded this part of China when the buildings were completed but not yet fully furnished. It was built by a family which grew rich from shipping business as well as business in Thailand. Worth a visit.
Tashan Ancient Temple (塔 山 庙 Thad01Sua`3Bio0): besides the temple, there were newly built pagoda and pavilion on the mountain, beyond a lake. Scenic.
