Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Beachcombing in Shantou is a popular recreational activity that is loved by tourists and has become a popular tourist experience. The best time to beachcombing is usually when the tide is low, when you can catch seafood such as crabs, sea urchins, and conchs on the beach and reefs. In Shantou, you can choose from a number of popular locations, such as Qing'ao Bay and Mayu Island, which are not only rich in seafood but also have beautiful scenery.

Before beachcombing, remember to check the tide table and choose the best time to beachcombing two hours before and after the lowest tide. At the same time, it is also necessary to take safety measures such as sun protection and anti-slip. For tourists who are beachcombing for the first time, it is recommended to follow an experienced local guide or join a beachcombing group to ensure safety and a full harvest. Beachcombing not only allows tourists to get close to nature and feel the gifts of the sea, but also allows them to experience the traditional lifestyle of fishermen. It is an unforgettable tourist experience.

Here's the plan👇 Day1 Xiaogongyuan Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion - Shantou Post Office - Shantou Hotel - Arcade Buildings (mostly in Xiaogongyuan) - Xiti Park (best spot to photograph Shantou Panstone Bridge) - Rest in the homestay after lunch - Fireworks by the sea after dinner Day2 Mayu Island: Tao Zhu Pavilion - Mayu Blue Bookstore - Group photo on the seaside rocks - Mural village on the west side of the island - Mazu Temple - Mayu Community Emergency Shelter (best spot to photograph Shantou Bay Bridge) In short, experiencing local life and appreciating Chaozhou scenery only accounted for 40% of the Shantou trip, the main focus was on eating and drinking, the next article will continue to share!

Nan'ao Island Sunrise and Sunset Guide: A Date with Light and Shadow Between Mountains and Seas

🌅 [Pre-Trip Essential Guide] - Weather and Time: Check the weather forecast in advance for sunny days and know the exact times (sunrise is approx. 5:30–6:00 in summer and approx. 6:30–7:00 in winter; sunset is approx. 18:30 in summer and approx. 17:30 in winter). - Equipment List: Windproof jacket (it's windy by the sea), camera/mobile phone (wide-angle lens is perfect for shooting sunrises and sunsets), power bank, sun hat (sunscreen is also needed after sunset). 🌄 [Recommended Sunrise Viewing Spots] ✅ Qing'ao Bay - Prime Viewing Spot: The most popular spot on Nan'ao Island for watching the sunrise. The fine sandy beach and vast sea allow you to see the sun rising from the sea, with golden light shining on the waves, filling you with a sense of healing. - Things to do: Arrive early to grab a front-row seat and take photos of the sunrise reflected in the water; after that, eat seafood porridge nearby to start your day with energy. ✅ Tropic of Cancer Sign Tower (Gate of Nature) - Unique Experience: Stand under the "Gate of Nature" and watch the sun rise from behind the landmark. The interplay of light and shadow with the architecture makes for a very memorable photo. You can also learn about the Tropic of Cancer. 🌇 [Recommended Sunset Viewing Spots] ✅ Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse - Romantic Lighthouse Sunset: The red lighthouse and orange sunset are in the same frame, and the sea is sparkling. Snap a photo and it will look like a scene from a movie, perfect for couples and best friends to visit. ✅ Sanchong Cliff Lighthouse - Hidden Gem: The lighthouse stands by the sea. At sunset, the glow of the setting sun dyes the sky red, and the waves beat against the rocks, creating a full atmosphere. A must-see for photography enthusiasts. ✅ Nan'ao Bridge Viewing Platform - Panoramic View: Stand on the viewing platform and watch the sunset slowly sink behind the bridge. The outline of the bridge blends with the sunset glow, recording the combination of sunset and engineering aesthetics. 📅 [Sunrise, Sunset + One-Day Tour Itinerary] - Morning: Watch the sunrise at Qing'ao Bay → Eat breakfast (fish ball soup, rice noodle roll) → Visit the Tropic of Cancer Sign Tower. - Afternoon: Take a self-driving tour around the island, visit Jin'ao Island and the Zongbingfu, and experience the history and culture. - Evening: Watch the sunset at Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse/Sanchong Cliff Lighthouse → Enjoy a seafood dinner at a seaside restaurant. 🍤 [Nan'ao Food Guide] - Seafood Feast: Go to the seafood market in Houzhai Town to buy fresh seafood and find a restaurant to process it. Grouper, baby squid, and flower crab are must-tries. - Featured Snacks: Have a bowl of seafood capsula rice noodles, try Nan'ao shrimp cakes and salted vegetable fried rice. For a sweet treat, try boiled squid with honey. 🚗 [Transportation and Accommodation Guide] - Transportation: - Self-driving: Navigate to "Nan'ao Island" and take the Nan'ao Bridge to the island (note that the bridge is tolled). - Public Transportation: Take bus No. 161/203 from Shantou city to Nan'ao Island. You can take a taxi or rent an electric car on the island. - Accommodation: - Near Qing'ao Bay: The beach is right outside, making it super convenient to watch the sunrise. Seaview B&Bs are recommended, with sea views from the window. - Houzhai Town: Food is concentrated here, suitable for tourists who like hustle and bustle and eating. ❗ [Precautions] 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening by the sea is large, so bring a thin coat even in summer to avoid catching a cold. 2. When shooting sunrise and sunset, adjust the equipment parameters in advance, turn on the HDR mode of the mobile phone, and don't miss every ray of light and shadow. 3. Protect the environment, take your garbage with you, and protect the pure beauty of Nan'ao Island. The sunrise and sunset of Nan'ao Island are a romantic gift from the mountains and seas. Collect this guide and encounter your own healing light and shadow! 🌊

A secret base we won't tell you about

📍March Wilderness - Xiaosen Camp The activities under the pine trees are really great. The atmosphere is great both day and night. Surrounded by nature, it's a great place for groups. It's a great choice for team building. We chose the 💰198 package (BBQ, CS, archery) 🕹️During the day, there are off-road vehicles, archery, CS, aerial magic nets, etc. 📢At night, there are bonfires, karaoke, board games, BBQ 🍖 (I didn't expect the BBQ to be good quality, with a wide variety, and all-you-can-eat) ❗️❗️Girls who love to take photos will find every spot is super photogenic (I suggest going early. There's a small lake by the pine forest that's also very beautiful. We went too late and didn't get to take photos)

Weekend Getaway to Shantou's Nan'ao Island - A Foodie Adventure

Weekend Getaway to Shantou's Nan'ao Island - A Foodie Adventure

Shantou Food Trip! So Good!! 🗓Itinerary: Arrive in Shantou Saturday morning, eat, eat, eat. Depart for Nan'ao Island at 9am on Sunday, return to Shantou in the evening, and continue to eat, eat, eat. Nan'ao Island Transportation: We hired a private car, so I recommend doing the same, haha. The three of us booked a car through a platform for a little over CNY 600. It might be cheaper to contact drivers directly. Our driver was really nice, chatting with us along the way (not awkward small talk). He was very familiar with Nan'ao Island, showed us some great photo spots, planned a good route, and recommended restaurants frequented by locals. Food: Qingchun Restaurant (Seafood) Our driver recommended this place, saying it's a seafood restaurant he frequents. We ordered mantis shrimp, green crab, grouper, scallops, oyster omelet, and seaweed fried rice. The total was a little over CNY 400, which was good value for the variety and quality. Ranji Dessert Shop The taro ice cream was delicious! Unless you're taking photos, there's no need to order the milk tea hot pot; it's very average. Local Products: I recommend buying local products near the General's Mansion, where there are many small shops. The main specialty is seaweed! The islanders are very welcoming and will offer you samples of their homemade seaweed snacks, some with fillings. We tried a few and bought our favorite, CNY 10 per pack, buy 10 get 1 free. Very crispy and delicious.

Shantou|First Wabi-Sabi Style Homestay

Shantou|First Wabi-Sabi Style Homestay

I have discovered so many beautiful and comfortable homestays this year! Shantou has a new one, a Japanese-style leisure homestay with a wabi-sabi theme. It really strikes a chord with me; it's hard not to love it at first sight. The main furniture is in natural wood tones, and the decorations have a distinctive Lingnan characteristic, very exquisite! It makes the whole room look very elegant. Although there are only 10 rooms, the types of rooms are very complete, whether you stay alone or with friends, it's very suitable. The location is also excellent, near the MixC in the city center. You don't need to go out at night to see the bustling night view of the city. Surroundings: : Downstairs is a shopping area, you can go shopping anytime. I: A 10-minute walk will take you to popular restaurants, many of which are on the must-eat list in Shantou.

Shantou Chaoshan Accommodation | Recommended Shanheri B&B

||I really loved the B&B we stayed at in Shantou during the Dragon Boat Festival💕 I had looked at many hotels before going, but this one really caught my eye! The price-performance ratio is also good~ The wabi-sabi style makes the whole experience very comfortable (this was a family trip, even my parents said they liked it😁) 📍The location is near Vientiane City, and you can walk to Jiachang Beef, Wulitang Soup, Longyan Nan Road Snack Street, and Lao Hu Beef Kway. (If you can ride an electric scooter, it will be very convenient to go anywhere🛵) 🍜Booking on Ctrip states that there is no breakfast provided, but in fact, each room comes with 2 simple breakfasts~ Environment⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Breakfast⭐️⭐️⭐️
