To get to Changshanwei Lighthouse, you must first arrive at Nan'ao Island. You can take a ferry or speedboat from Shantou city to Nan'ao Island, and then take a bus or chartered car to get there. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable shoes as there is quite a distance to walk from the parking lot to the lighthouse. There are simple rest facilities and observation decks around the lighthouse, but there are no large dining places. Visitors are advised to bring their own drinking water and simple food. Visiting the lighthouse itself is free, but attention needs to be paid to protecting the environment and complying with safety regulations.

| Stepping into Qing'ao Bay is like entering a beautiful natural painting. The azure sea is crystal clear, the sun shines on it, the waves sparkle like countless diamonds jumping on the sea surface, and the waves gently hit the beach, playing a gentle symphony. Take a walk along the beach, the soft sand is like cotton candy, and the sand rich in minerals is good for the body. The beach is covered with shells and small crabs running around, which is full of fun. Looking from a high place, the bay looks like a crescent moon lying quietly. When the wind is calm, the sea surface is like a mirror, reflecting the sky and mountains, forming a picturesque scenery. There is a lot of excitement about the offshore projects at Qing’ao Bay. Riding a speedboat across the sea, with the whistling sea breeze and splashing waves, it is full of excitement; driving a sea motorboat, you will feel like a sea knight, free and happy. In the evening, when the sun sets, the sky and the sea are dyed orange and red. Sitting on the beach watching the sunset, my heart is filled with tranquility and comfort.

The Tropic of Cancer Square in Nan'ao stands the Tropic of Cancer landmark tower "Nature's Gate". It is the eleventh Tropic of Cancer landmark tower built in my country so far. The tower is designed based on an evolution of the Chinese character “门” (gate). There is a sphere in the gate. Every year at noon on the summer solstice, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, the shadow of the sun will pass through the central tube of the sphere above and be projected onto the center of the platform.

Standing at the door, looking at the boundless sea, the sea breeze blows across my face, and my thoughts drift away. This place is not only a special coordinate in the geographical sense, but also makes me feel the vastness of nature and the insignificance of human beings.
