Chao'an Villages · Genealogy Roots
Vague Family Records? Drivers Know the Clan Halls
Longhu Fort · Jinshi clan halls · Local introductions
From Chaoshan HSR or Shantou downtown into Longhu Ancient Fort and Jinshi Town villages in Chao'an. Many overseas Chinese remember only oral village names or hall titles — genealogy pages faded and clues blurred. Our drivers shuttle daily among brigade halls, branch temples, and record keepers. Cross the Han River east bank delta with banyan-shaded courtyard houses and Qing-era arches. Link Longhu Fort, Jinshi old clan halls, and famous villages in one trip — match your records at the ancestral hall without wandering or unlicensed taxis.

Village Roots Charter · FAQ
Q: Only a fuzzy village name and generation — can you find the right clan hall?
Often yes. Share genealogy copies, oral names, or generation characters — drivers know Longhu and Jinshi halls and can ask custodians on site.
Q: Can we visit multiple old clan halls in one trip?
Yes. ¥380 covers two stops; ¥450 suits full-day multi-hall circuits — flexible to your clues, no surprise surcharges.
Q: Are genealogy records still kept in the halls? Who holds them?
Some halls still keep registers with clan elders or trustees. Drivers know local customs and can help arrange access.
Q: Can Longhu Fort and nearby famous villages be combined?
Yes. Longhu is a landmark Chao'an village — often paired with Jinshi and Caitang hall towns; local drivers save hours of wrong turns.
Q: Better than asking strangers in the village?
Dialect and branch lines confuse outsiders. Our flat-rate roots drivers solve the 'clues too vague to start' pain point with daily hall experience.
