Jieyang

Jieyang is a populous Chaoshan city in eastern Guangdong, threaded by the Rong River and known as a commercial and manufacturing hub, especially for jade trading and hardware. It hosts the region's main gateway, Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport, serving the wider Chaoshan area. The historic core preserves a fine Confucian temple and the riverside Jieyang Tower, while nearby Huangqi Mountain offers views over the delta. Chaoshan food traditions are strong here, from savory rice cakes to braised goose. With a warm, humid coastal climate and high-speed rail, Jieyang blends busy commerce with deep local culture.
