I mean, you've got to take some time to stay on this enchantingly beautiful island for a few days, I guarantee it will lift your spirits. 📍Location: Nan'ao Island, Shantou, Guangdong ✈️Transportation: You can fly directly to Jieyang Airport, and then easily reach the island by self-driving or taking a taxi. Self-driving around the island for photos is even more comfortable! 🏨Accommodation: There are many accommodations on the island, and if you avoid holidays, the value for money is super high. 📷Sharing a few super photogenic spots on Nan'ao Island 1⃣️The first picture, the road leading to the azure sea, navigate to the entrance of Tianyu Mountain Villa, it's even more beautiful in the morning! 2⃣️A road leading to the sea discovered while self-driving around the island, navigate to Cape Beach Camp where there's also a swing facing the sea. 3⃣️The Tropic of Cancer, Nan'ao Bay Forest Park, you can drive in early in the morning, but electric vehicles are not allowed. 4⃣️Another road leading to the seaside, also a place to watch the sunrise, you can navigate to the Ibis Hotel, this road is on the way to the hotel. 5⃣️The wild hill behind the Ibis Hotel, completely uninhabited, overlooking the coastline, also an excellent spot to watch the sunrise. It requires climbing and hiking, suitable for those with outdoor experience. 6⃣️Nan'ao Bridge, the sea bridge you must cross when entering or leaving the island, next to the Changshanwei Lighthouse, you can check in both places. 7⃣️Sanchuan Cliff Lighthouse, the red and white lighthouse on the seaside cliff, looks great when shot with a telephoto lens. 8⃣️Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse, rocks, sea, beach, the only lighthouse where you can walk down to the beach for a photo. 9⃣️The lonely tree, navigate to Yuman Cang. Go fishing, and you'll find this tree. It's said that a viewing platform has been built now. If you have the chance, you must self-drive around the island. The scenery along the way is really amazing. When I went there in the summer, I was even lucky enough to see a group of dolphins🐬!

  • I really don't regret going to Nan'ao Island this season!

    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

  • Trust me, traveling to Nan'ao Island is so wonderful, quickly save this practical guide

    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. Ps: If you want to find a small island to lie flat and experience slow life, here is really too suitable, cost-effective!! · 🚗Transportation 1⃣Bus: Route 161 (15 yuan), you can rent an electric bike to go around the island for 60-100 yuan; 2⃣Rent a car: Rent a car from Shantou and drive around the island (highway fee 96) 3⃣Taxi: I don't recommend it personally, the taxi fare is higher, it depends on the individual. · 🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to stay near Houzhai Town, it is very convenient to eat, it is a more concentrated town, if you live far away, it is not convenient to eat; I stayed in a sea view homestay, the cream style is very suitable for young ladies to take pictures together and eat takeout 😂 · 📋Notes for renting a car to go around the island: ✅Start from the south line to go around the island, so you are riding along the seaside, you won't miss any scenery. ✅If you have enough time, you can go around the south line one day and the north line one day, I personally feel that the experience will be better. ✅There are many stalls for renting cars, you can compare and bargain more (I rented for two days, bargained to 50 a day, there is no problem with the battery around the island). · 💰About the cost This cost is only my cost in the off-season in November, there are basically no tourists in November. Accommodation: 500 (this is the price for 5 nights, picture 10 and picture 11 are photos of the homestay, there is a refrigerator and a balcony 😂 I didn't plan to post notes, so I didn't take pictures, the refrigerator is very nice in cream style) Rent a car: 100 Island bus: 30 (round trip)

Shantou Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

  • Real and ungentrified

    Shantou is a port side city in the province of Guangdong. Being one of the many treaty ports opened during the Qing dynasty, it was a center of international trading. As such, the area now houses signs of this historic presence. The historic part of Shantou is not as touristy as one might expect; many of the historic buildings in the center are lightly restored, but nothing is really remade to look fake and overly gentrified. In fact, many of them lie abandoned and in ruins. For me, I find this adds character to the overall area, as there's a sense of authenticity among these buildings that tell stories of their past. There's a small park in the area, which serves as the main focal point of the area. You can't leave the Old town without venturing a bit further to sample the famous Shantou beef balls. Many of the restaurants make them on site and you'll see them beating the beef, resulting in a very chewy textured beef ball that you can't get enough of! Overall, Shantou is a historic city with many buildings with character. You'll get lost wandering the old streets that are lined with buildings that have seen better days! Don't leave the city without grabbing a bowl (or two or three) of its famous beef balls! #explore #travel #food #shantou #china

  • Impressions of Shantou

    Visiting Shantou, we took the high-speed train from Shanghai, which was very convenient. This time we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Shantou Chaoyang, where the environment and services were all very satisfactory. The old town of Shantou is definitely worth a visit, with its ancient architecture and a variety of delicious food, it truly made me feel reluctant to leave.

  • Two consecutive days, Shantou Super Live is back!

    Date: 2024.02.02-02.03 Location: Shantou Sports Center Stadium Who doesn't know that Shantou has a music festival again! This time it's a two-day lineup, with Wang Leehom, Zhang Yuan, and Yan Renzhong all being your favorites! Don't hesitate to pack your bags and meet in Shantou! 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.

  • Nan'ao Island is a place you never tire of, with its beaches and sea, you just want to stay forever

    The homestays on Nan'ao Island are all beautiful, and the one we stayed in this time with the kids was absolutely amazing! Close to the mountains and water, embracing nature, the main theme is a simple and atmospheric white. Upon arrival, we found it to be even more surprising than expected, with a wabi-sabi style design that's super photogenic! The location of this homestay is right at the foot of the mountain, not too far from the sea, and just through a small alley is Egret Bay. Staying here, you look out to a fresh expanse of greenery, with a green lawn in front of the door that stretches all the way to the foot of the mountain, connecting with the mountain itself. There's a blue swimming pool reflecting the sky, and a few steps of stone-paved paths leading to the homestay's lobby. Under the eaves, wooden floors are laid with casual soft recliners, where you can sip on tea and have a leisurely chat amidst this tranquil beauty, enjoying the peacefulness of time. The guest room layout is simple and generous. The room we chose has a large terrace facing the mountain, and there's also a huge bathtub for soaking, with bath bags provided by the homestay. In the morning, go out to the balcony to breathe in the fresh air of the green woods, and feel the charm of nature in this Zen-like atmosphere. The guest room layout is simple and generous.

They also brought over a fresh fruit platter, just ask who wouldn't like such a warm welcome.

The experience was really much better than I expected!! I probably prefer this kind of retreat from the mundane world, a paradise on earth feeling~~ Spent a very memorable weekend here~~ I have to say... this place is simply a great spot for us office workers to relax and unwind ✌️ What surprised me the most was... in addition to accommodation, they also have a hot pot restaurant, swimming pool, and other facilities... really everything you need ✔️✔️ This is just too convenient for us lazy people, right? 😭 The summer nights are really cool 🍂 Spent a very beautiful barbecue night on the lawn with friends ✌️ Chatted all night long ✔️ Partied until we couldn't anymore ✔️ Who can understand this kind of joy~~ 🅿️ And!!!

    There aren't many people on the island, and graffiti murals are everywhere. It's said to be a popular spot for social media check-ins, but what I prefer here is the Mazu Temple, which has exquisite stone carvings. They are beautiful and awe-inspiring! The presence of dragons and tigers is impressive, worth admiring. The carved beams and painted rafters, the flying eaves and the upturned arches, all contribute to a majestic atmosphere!
