Things To Do
in Lecheng

A bustling morning market where fishermen and farmers sell fresh catch, vegetables, and snacks—try steamed buns, soy milk, and freshly fried dough sticks here.

Small evening stalls near the waterfront serving grilled shellfish, skewers, and sweet treats; great for casual dinners with sea views.

A polite nod or handshake is common; use polite language and avoid overly loud or confrontational behavior in public.

Remove hats and speak quietly in religious sites, don't touch offerings, and follow any posted rules about photography.

Use communal chopsticks when available, avoid pointing chopsticks upright in bowls, and accept small offers of food or tea as a polite gesture.

In some local homes and guesthouses, removing shoes before entering is customary—follow your host's lead.

Tipping is not customary in most local restaurants or taxis; small tips may be appreciated in tourist-heavy venues but are not expected. For guided tours and hotel staff, modest tips are welcomed but not mandatory.

Mobile payments (WeChat Pay and Alipay) are widely used; many small vendors also accept cash (RMB). International cards may be accepted at larger hotels and restaurants but carry cash for markets and taxis.

Mild temperatures with occasional rain; flowers and new growth make rural landscapes photogenic. Bring a light jacket and an umbrella for sudden showers.

Hot and humid with the highest rainfall; beaches are lively but afternoon thunderstorms are common. Use sunscreen, stay hydrated, and plan outdoor activities for mornings or evenings.

Generally the most comfortable season with pleasant temperatures and less rain—ideal for hiking, coastal walks, and outdoor photography.

Mild to cool depending on latitude; rarely very cold in southern coastal areas. Expect drier weather but bring layers for cooler evenings.

A regional or provincial airport is typically within 1–3 hours by car from Lecheng; it connects to major Chinese hubs and some international routes. Use buses, shuttle services, or taxis to reach town.

A smaller domestic airport may be closer for limited routes—useful for connecting flights to larger hubs before taking ground transport to Lecheng.

Vegetarian options are available but limited compared with urban centers. Expect tofu-based dishes, vegetable stir-fries, noodle soups, and rice dishes; ask for 'su' (素) to indicate vegetarian and confirm there is no fish sauce or meat stock.

Vegan dining is possible but may require explanation. Carry a translation card that states no meat, dairy, eggs, fish, or fish sauce to show cooks.

Rice-based dishes and plain steamed rice are safe; soy sauce contains gluten, so specify 'bu yong jiang you' (不用酱油) or ask for tamari-style alternatives when possible.

Peanuts and shellfish are common—always inform vendors and restaurants using clear phrases or a translated allergy card.
