Chaozhou is the poorest of the three Chaoshan cities. In recent years, the ranking of Shantou Jieyang has been declining, and Chaozhou is almost at the bottom. Chaoshan three cities are not only low in total, but also horribly low in per capita. In addition to Shantou's old foundation, there are some good traditional commercial industries that can barely develop. Jieyang and Chaozhou have basically no places to attract foreigners.
