Tradition beats on Taiping Road

Kang says she has had her studio on the street for 16 years because it has a long history and strong cultural associations. As a result, she believes more visitors are attracted to the street and to her studio, allowing her to better promote her craft.

Home to several ancient wells and modern teahouses, the street also demonstrates the local culture of drinking tea.

Long Sufang, who runs a teahouse on Paifang Street, is an inheritor of Chaozhou gongfu tea, a traditional ceremony that demonstrates gongfu, or skill, of Chaozhou people at making a good cup of tea.
