Transport
Though the
Kowloon Canton Railway runs though Chashan, it is not a convenient way to travel from
Guangzhou (Canton),
Shenzhen or
Kowloon in
Hong Kong to Chashan because it is time consuming. Travel by bus is the best way to reach Chashan, which is well connected to bus routes.
Famous fruit
Chashan is famous for its
litchi fruit (Simplified Chinese:荔枝) which comes from litchi chinensis, a Chinese tree that bears bright red fruits, each of with a single large seed. Litchi taste best between May and June.
