We made a last-minute decision to visit Nan'ao Island, and we were surprised how quickly the car arrived at the hotel. The driver provided excellent service and detailed explanations throughout the trip, making it a wonderful day trip to the island. We'll definitely choose them again next time. Thank you for your service! 👍👍👍

This is the Tashan Scenic Area within the Queshi Scenic Area. You can take the cable car up and down, which takes about five minutes. After that, you can stroll around for about half an hour. From the top of the mountain, you can see the Queshi Bridge; the scenery is quite nice!

Shantou's Old Town is a treasure trove steeped in time, a fusion of Baroque arcades and Nanyang-style architecture. The aging bricks and tiles hold memories of a prosperous century-old commercial port. The aroma of local delicacies like Chaoshan beef balls and rice noodles fills the air, while details like the inlaid porcelain of the Guanyin Temple and the dome of the General Post Office are stunning. The free admission streets are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Despite signs of commercial transformation, the authentic atmosphere and rich history of the city remain. A two-day experience offers a chance to deeply experience the mysteries of the mountains and sea, and the memories of the city.

Taking photos at Chen Cihong's former residence is incredibly photogenic. Every brick and tile tells a story of time. Although it's over a century old, the eaves, doors, windows, stairs, and floors still retain their former charm. I recommend wearing earth-toned clothing for the photos.

Perfect for families, the museum offers a chance to share historical insights through exhibits. The museum comprises four major exhibition halls: the Chaoshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall, the Chaoshan Overseas Chinese Museum, the Shantou Art Museum, and the Shantou Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Hall showcases numerous intangible cultural heritage items, including Chaoshan embroidery and woodcarving. The Overseas Chinese Museum showcases the history of Chaoshan overseas Chinese through cultural relics. The Art Museum houses calligraphy by Chaoshan painters, including the masterpiece "Scenery of Chaoshan." The Urban Planning Exhibition Hall showcases Shantou's planning and development.

Mayu Island, located in Shantou, hides the secret of Guangdong East. The blue sea and blue sky are intertwined with the fishing village style. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the city to the Bay Bridge. General drivers will ask for an additional fee when entering the island, 10-15 yuan. Mayu Island must visit Mazu Temple to pray for blessings, stroll on the seaside plank road to watch the tide, pick up shells on the reef beach, taste the fresh sea fish porridge and wontons. You can swim in the sea in summer, ride around the island in spring and autumn, and enjoy the colorful graffiti village.
