When you come to Shantou, besides the delicious food, these attractions are really worth checking out, and the old town of Nan'ao Island welcomes you~ 1. Nan'ao Island The landscape of Nan'ao Island is naturally beautiful. Due to less development, the environment is well protected, and many mountains, rocks, and vegetation still retain their original appearance. The beach scenery is also very beautiful, making it a niche spot for taking photos. In addition, there are some historical relics on the island that you can visit in your spare time. 2. Shantou Old Town In the old town area on the north bank of the Rong River in Shantou City, from the Shantou Xidi Wharf to the Waimalu entrance, a 1-kilometer road is lined with a large number of buildings constructed in the early 20th century. This is Shantou Old Town. The 'arcades' on the side of the road for sheltering from the rain, the closely arranged shops, the slightly messy streets, and the simple decorative patterns near the doors and windows all reveal the unique historical charm of Shantou Old Town. 3. Que Shi Scenic Area The Que Shi Scenic Area is located on the bank of the Rong River. The area is filled with peculiar peaks and rocks, accompanied by the charm of the sea view, forming a scenic spot where Shantou's natural scenery and cultural landscape complement each other. The scenic area is divided into six areas: Xiao Shi Scenic Area, Ta Mountain Scenic Area, Yan Peak Scenic Area, Xianglu Mountain Scenic Area, Bijia Mountain Scenic Area, and Su'an Scenic Area.

If you want to watch the sunrise🌅, remember to check the sunrise time in advance, wear more clothes, it's quite cold by the sea in the morning💨 【Recommended attractions】 1⃣Changshanwei Lighthouse The first lighthouse after landing on the island, the red lighthouse is super photogenic, and you can also see the Nan'ao Bridge 2⃣Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse The lighthouse is generally white.

|||📸Nan'ao Island One-Day Tour Guangdong's only island county, surrounded by the sea, a 65-kilometer loop around the island 📹The essential route to enter the island is the 10-kilometer-long Nan'ao Cross-sea Bridge~ Recommended travel itinerary: Nan'ao Bridge Changshanwei Lighthouse Tianzai Geological Park Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse The Lonely Tree🌲 Rainbow Residence Zongbingfu (General's Mansion) Second Highway Windmill Field Qing'ao Bay Beach Sancha Yai Yun'ao - Si Hai Filming Location Zhannan Pavilion Qianjiangwan Beach Tropic of Cancer Landmark 1. Be sure to choose a good weather day to visit Nan'ao! The weather affects the quality of sea viewing! 2. There is no subway, only buses/public transportation or ride-hailing services 3.

Nan'ao Island is really good for taking pictures It's winter, it's time to go to some warm islands to renew the summer. Take bus 161k directly from Shantou Railway Station (one bus per hour, grasp the time, we didn't plan well, the time we arrived just left, didn't want to waste time and took a carpool, 30 per person, 50 bargained down, haha really smart) ". Nan'ao Island is quite big and there are many scenic spots. Sisters who are not self-driving are recommended to rent a small electric car. We rented 50 a day and a deposit of 50. The cost performance is super high and the power is very durable. After a whole day of speeding, only two grids are used. In terms of route, you can follow the navigation around the sea. The more popular lighthouse, bridge, square, lonely tree, and Tropic of Cancer are all on the way. Because my sisters and I are senior islanders, we didn't take the usual route and took the mountain road in the middle. The view of the sea from the top of the mountain is also unique. We encountered a super photogenic mountain road in the middle. The leaves are dense and the sun is shining. It's great to take pictures. Sisters who have visited the island can hide it. Pay attention Pay attention to the sunset time. It's best not to be in the mountains when it's dark. The mountain road is quite dangerous when it's dark, and it's best to get to the beach before sunset. The sunset on Nan'ao Island is really beautiful. It's the kind of beauty that you won't get tired of watching a few times. About the weather, the perceived temperature is warm, you can wear summer skirts, but when the sea breeze blows over, under the shade of trees and when riding a bike, it's very cold. It is generally recommended to wear early spring and autumn clothes, or summer clothes with a large coat

Shantou's Nan'ao Island is beautiful and a great off-the-beaten-path destination for spring. Attractions and Activities It is the eleventh largest island in China. Its geographical location and significance are also very important. As the only island that the Tropic of Cancer passes through in our country, it is also the boundary between the East China Sea and the South China Sea.

On Nan'ao Island, the main means of transportation are buses and ride-hailing services. It is also recommended to rent a bicycle or electric scooter. I was on a day trip and didn't consider specific accommodation issues - it seems that most people stay in Houzhai Town and Qing'ao Bay. Food Recommendations Teochew beef and satay noodles are my favorites. Considerate TIPS Do not hail a black cab on the roadside, use a ride-hailing service instead. Do not buy seafood from roadside vendors indiscriminately; choose a fresh seafood market instead.

On the right is the sea, on the left is a large area of bougainvillea, leisurely and comfortable is my evaluation of Nan'ao Island. I stayed on Nan'ao Island for 6 days. I planned to stay for three nights before departure, but it was so comfortable that I extended it for 2 nights. ✨I went in early November, you can wear shorts and suspenders, but it is recommended to wear a long sleeve when riding a bike. ✨The temperature is not stuffy, very comfortable, wearing shorts is no problem, you can change into long pants when you go to the beach at night. ⏰Time planning Nan'ao Island can be finished in two days, if your time is limited, 2-3 days are also OK.
