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's Nanao Island in Summer
It was already my second trip to Nanao Island, an island 20km in front of the city of Shantou in Guangdong province.
🚕 Easiest way is to go there by car, bus or taxi from Shantou center. There is no train station or airport in the island. You have to pay a small toll fee to enter the island. 🏝️
📍My summer island tips;
•Hiking in the forest in the middle
•Visit the (sometimes crowded) beaches
•Seafood! Nanao Island is famous for its seafood farms.
•Staycation: Book a nice hotel and just hang out
Enjoy your stay and the island breeze!

Shantou Small Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Shantou two-day ultra-practical travel guide per capita 600
This city is really a good place for food and shopping! You can eat more than a dozen meals in two days without any problem! Be sure to pay attention to sun protection when you go out in Shantou in summer. I have prepared a high-cost-effective two-day tour guide for you overnight, be sure to take a look before you come.
**Transportation Guide**
From Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport to the city, you can choose the "Shantou East Line" of the airport express, which can directly reach the city center. If you get off at Chaoshan Station or Shantou Station, it is best to choose Shantou Station, because it is only a ten-minute drive from the city. If your city does not have a direct train to Shantou Station, you can transfer to Shantou Station by high-speed rail at Chaoshan Station, which is more convenient and faster, and saves time and effort compared to taking a taxi directly from Chaoshan Station to the city.
**Itinerary**
Day 1: After arriving at the hotel and putting down your luggage, you can first visit the Chaoshan History Museum, then go to Mayu Island, and finally taste the food on Longyan Food Street.
Day 2: Visit the Old Mother Palace Stage and Small Park, then go to Chaoren Wharf, take the Square Ferry, and finally you can visit Shantou Hostel and Zhenbang Food Street.
**Recommended local food in Shantou**
- Ah Xiang Rice Noodle Roll
- East Market Rice Porridge

- Yuyuan Fresh Pickles
- Good Chicken Pot
- Golden Coconut Shell (Wanxiang Store)
- Daoxing Coffee
- Xingyin Juice
- Yijing Family Cold Pot Skewers
- Chaoren Brine Creation•Weidi Rice Porridge Goose Rice Fresh Pickles
Remember to check this guide before you set off, and wish you a happy time in Shantou!
Goodbye to Shantou, perhaps never to see again
Just got back from Shantou! I have something to say
The small park and the Shantou hostel were crowded~ I didn't manage to capture those two words!
Asked a passerby lady to take a photo for me haha
Shantou is a city very suitable for a city walk with lots of good friends, eating and drinking🌆 This time I came alone and I don't think it's quite right!!
Because I wanted to eat a lot of things and then they all come in full portions~ I couldn't eat them all by myself
I didn't go to many shops either~
Next time I come, I will bring friends with me haha
Remember to plan your accommodation in advance~ There are good and bad reviews online! I think it depends on your budget~
I changed hotels twice, I couldn't sleep at all the first night, it was too noisy!
You can order a lot of delicious food from takeout~ You don't necessarily have to go to the popular stores to check in, just look at the reviews and you'll know!
Went to La Xiang to buy specialties~ The sisters and aunties in the store are very nice and enthusiastic, they will explain slowly! Tried a lot of food at the pork shop, sisters can take some
I'll try to go to a bar in Shantou next time, I didn't make it last night
Raw marinated with vinegar is delicious! I eat it often so I didn't get skewers haha
Ordered stir-fried beef ho fun with delivery twice!!! Adding chili is so tasty🤤
I don't like the fruit from the uncle, it's sweet like sugar, but the price is really cheap, no need to go out of your way
Shantou has a few attractions worth visiting
Shantou doesn't actually have many tourist spots, but this small park has become particularly popular in recent years. It's really crowded, the place is quite large, and the entire area belongs to the park. The old buildings are especially photogenic. You can stroll around for two or three hours, eat, drink, and play. The night view is also decent, offering a different style from the daytime. There are also some popular shops to check out.
Teochew Opera Singing!
I sincerely thank netizens for guiding me, allowing me to enter the Teochew culture so joyfully and celebrate the spring together!
Today, after much searching, I finally caught up with a ceremony to welcome the Lord in Xianshan Town, Chaoyang District, Shantou City, what a fortunate event!
Opera singing
Opera! Dance!
So passionate, so immersive
Thank you, Teochew people, for letting me witness such a brilliant and wonderful culture
May the Lord bless, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!
May it continue like this every year, dancing on!

Shantou Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
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!

✨Shantou Hostel
The actual situation is that there are too many people! We took pictures next door, there are also the words "Shantou", it doesn't feel different, maybe because there are shops below so no one.
✨Small Park
The nearby are all Nanyang style buildings, also typical arcade buildings, the landmark of Shantou old city area, very lively!
✨Xidi Park
Fuyuan building is very photogenic, with a taste of the Republic of China, this is also a good place to watch the sunset.
✨Huo Shi Scenic Area
The main reason to go here is that you can see Shantou city area from the top of the mountain, and you can take a cable car up and down the mountain, 25 one-way, 40 round trip.
✨One Yuan Ferry
After coming down from Huo Shi Scenic Area, take a one yuan ferry back to the city area, just in the evening, watching the sunset on the sea is super beautiful.
🍜Shantou Cuisine
There are too many delicious foods in Chaoshan, ate for three days casually without stepping on thunder, next time single out a food article.
Shantou old city
Small Park, Shantou Museum, Inner Bay Night Tour
Around the small park, the strong Republican-style buildings seem to tell the story of the years, the streets and alleys are full of carefully designed check-in points, attracting tourists to stop and take pictures.
Coming to the Inner Bay Cruise Terminal, boarding the cruise ship started an unforgettable night tour at sea. Under the lights, Shantou's Inner Bay is poetic and picturesque, with the city skyline and the sparkling water surface reflecting each other, making people linger.
We were attracted by the dazzling night view of the Shantou Huashi Bridge. This bridge, which spans the Inner Bay formed by the confluence of the Lianjiang, Rongjiang, and Hanjiang Rivers, was opened to traffic in early 1999. Its majestic and magnificent posture was a architectural miracle in the 1990s. The cruise ship shuttles through it, and the passengers scramble to record this moment of interlacing light and shadow.
The next morning, I went to the Shantou Museum. The rich collections in the museum fully demonstrate the cultural heritage of the Chaoshan region. Among them, the Chaoshan Money House Exhibition Hall records the unique style of local financial history in detail. Shantou Museum Shantou Small Park Shantou Inner Bay Cruise Ship
Shantou Three-Day Guide | A schedule of eating, drinking, and playing without delay
I stayed in Shantou for 48 hours, ate and drank in 20 restaurants, and also visited parks, took ferries, climbed Que Mountain, and took cable cars without missing anything. Here is my three-day efficient itinerary~
Day1️⃣
Hotel 🚖 Ya Qiang Beef Rice 🚶 Old Hu Sweet Soup 🚶 LIVING LAB Coffee 🚶 A Qun Licorice Fruit 🚶 Wuzhou Beef Restaurant 🚶 Hotel (Takeaway 'Chu Ming Chao Tea')
Day2️⃣
(Takeaway 'Dong Fang Yuan Rice Noodle Roll') 🛵 Su La Ta Coffee 🚖 Chun Mei Li Goose Restaurant 🚶 Ya Qiang Fruit Juice Ice 🛵 Shi Pao Tai Park 🛵 Square Ferry 🚢 Que Shi Ferry Station 🚶 Ta Mountain 🚠 Que Shi Ferry Station 🚢 Square Ferry 🛵 Small Park 🛵 Lao Er Fried Kway Teow 🚌 Yang Ji Almond Tea 🚶 Rui Jiao Grandma Chao Shan Fresh Pickle 🛵 Hotel

I will talk about eating and drinking later
Let's talk about some small suggestions for strolling
You must ride a shared electric bike, from a person who doesn't have a shared electric bike in their city, I really envy it, it's really convenient, free and happy
Take the cable car down from the tower on Que Shi, overlooking the city and the bay, it's beautiful
The sunset was at 17:26 the day before yesterday, we took the 17:00 ferry back from Que Shi Pier, and finally watched the sun set by the pier. The ferry departs every hour, 20 minutes, and 40 minutes, each trip takes about 15mins, if you want to watch the sunset, check the time in advance, and plan the queue time on weekends
Visiting parks is a must-do item for me in every city, so after breakfast, I went to Zhongshan Park for a stroll, it's a park with a life atmosphere, and I also rowed a boat on Yu Jian Lake, with an empty stomach ready to eat the next meal
I originally planned a long time for the old city of Shantou, but then I rode a bike for a stroll and left. I'm not interested in check-in photos, so I personally think it's meaningless, you can skip it
The weather in Shantou is just right now, not cold or hot, it's a city suitable for slowing down and strolling slowly~

A beautiful historical and cultural museum by the sea in Chaoshan: a travel guide
🏮When traveling to a city, I always choose to visit the local museum. When I visited Shantou and encountered a heavy rain, I decided to visit the museum. This is a museum facing the sea. The architectural design of the museum is full of Chaoshan elements, combining gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
🏮In the first-floor lobby, there is a 1:1 scale model of a 'Red Head Boat', promoting the spirit of the 'Red Head Boat'. The flowing corridors on both sides are perfect for taking photos.
There are five floors in total where you can fully understand the history and traditional culture of Chaoshan,
🔸Chaoshan Overseas Chinese Museum
🔸Shantou Art Museum
🔸Shantou City Planning Exhibition Hall
🔸Famous Collection Exhibition Hall
🔸Chaoshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall
If you don't have enough time, you can go directly to the 5th floor's Intangible Cultural Heritage Hall, which is very worth visiting. There are wood carvings, inlaid porcelain, Chaoshan embroidery, opera stages, ancestral halls, traditional cultural activities, and Chaoshan cuisine, etc. The treasure of the museum is the long scroll of Chinese painting 'Chaoshan Scenic Map'. The most impressive thing is the wood carving, which is known for its full, complex, exquisite, transparent, and brilliant features, and is known as one of China's 'Four Famous Carvings'.
You can take photos of the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. You can visit for half a day, and you can also collect stamps at the museum. You can buy a Chaoshan Museum passport and stamp it, a total of 8 stamps.

Four days and four nights travel guide to Nanao Island, Chaoshan
On the third day of our itinerary, we were still in the Chaoshan area, starting a series of exciting explorations. At noon, we queued for a long time and finally tasted the Chaoshan specialty beef and beef brisket double rice. The meat was tender and juicy, it was incredibly delicious! In the afternoon, we went to the Panshi Scenic Area on the opposite side of the river. We chose to take the cable car up the mountain. Although the time was not long, overlooking the entire scenic area from a high altitude, the scenery was magnificent. Unfortunately, when we wanted to take the slide down the mountain, we were told that the slide tickets were sold out, which was a bit regrettable. Later, we visited the Chaoshan Museum and had a deeper understanding of the history of Chaoshan. In the evening, we took the ferry back to the opposite side of the river and tasted the famous local Xinghua Wuji, which was indeed well-deserved and delicious! 🚠🏞️🎢
On the fourth day, we went straight to Nanao Island. We rented an electric car, which was convenient for us to shuttle freely on the island. In half a day, we rode a big circle and enjoyed the beautiful coastline on the east side of Nanao Island. The sea view of Nanao Island is really too charming! Back in Shantou, we tasted the local fruit juice ice, which was both cooling and thirst-quenching! 🏖️🍹
At noon on the fifth day, we ate traditional rice noodles and then said goodbye to Chaoshan and returned to Xiamen. Overall, the trip to Chaoshan was very worthwhile! Not only were the hotel and dining prices affordable, but we were also able to experience the unique food culture of Chaoshan firsthand. The magnificent sea view of Nanao Island was a surprise for us. This trip made me fall in love with Chaoshan, and I will definitely share this wonderful experience with more people! 🌴🍜🌊

most beautiful lighthouses Island Tourism here to see the sea humanities notes Island Tour Nan'ao Island is the most beautiful island in Guangdong. From Shantou to Nan'ao County, you have to pass through a long sea-crossing bridge, which is Nan'ao Bridge. It is a sea-crossing channel connecting Chenghai District and Nan'ao County in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, China. It is located above the waters of Houjiang Bay and is part of the northeastern channel of Shantou City. It is also the first sea-crossing bridge in Guangdong Province. Nan'ao Bridge starts from Laiwu Tourist Resort in Chenghai District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, crosses the strait of Houjiang Bay, passes through Fengyu Island, and ends at Changshanwei on Nan'ao Island, connecting to Nan'ao Ring Island Road at Pingjiao Port. On January 1, 2015, Nan'ao Bridge was opened for trial operation. The whole bridge is 9.342 kilometers long. The bridge deck is a two-way two-lane secondary road with a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour. Not far from the right hand side after getting off the bridge on Nan'ao Island is the Departure Plaza, and next to it is the beautiful all-red Changshanwei Lighthouse. Changshanwei Lighthouse is also called Departure Lighthouse. It is located at the westernmost point of Nan'ao Island. During the period of dense navigation, it was already a large-scale ferry terminal. The lighthouse is a high tower-shaped building with lighting equipment installed on the top of the tower, which is easy for ships to distinguish. It is generally one of the highest points of the port. Nan'ao Island Departure Plaza is a comprehensive facility located at Changshanwei in the western part of Nan'ao Island. It is part of the Nan'ao Bridge construction project. The functions of this plaza include ecological parking lot, leisure plaza, seaside sightseeing promenade and commercial street. The purpose of construction is to alleviate the pressure on the island's traffic after the opening of Nan'ao Bridge, and to enhance the functions and vitality of the Changshanwei Ferry Terminal area by providing various services such as parking, public transportation waiting and transfer, rest, sea view and shopping.
🗓Itinerary:
The round-trip cost of driving over Nan'ao Sea-crossing Bridge is 90 yuan, which is charged once when entering the island and not charged when leaving the island.
⏳Play time:
The Departure Plaza is open for free, with many parking spaces, and the play time is 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

3. There is no illegal parking capture for self-driving, and traffic police will issue tickets during peak seasons.
4. It is recommended to stay on the island for one day. If you encounter a major holiday, please leave the island before 17:00, otherwise the Nan'ao Bridge will be severely congested.
Nan'ao Island, Shantou | You'll understand why the movie 'Four Seas' was shot here once you arrive
Before Nan'ao Island became the filming location for the movie 'Four Seas', it was already a well-known leisure and vacation spot, attracting many people. Spending two or three days here is indeed very enjoyable. Since the shooting of 'Four Seas', visiting it has taken on a different significance.
Nan'ao Island has a thriving fishing industry, and most of the local residents are engaged in the fishing business passed down from their ancestors. On one hand, it is seen as a tradition, on the other hand, it is also a competition. When tradition becomes too monotonous and competition too intense, it is inevitable that some young people want to go out and make a name for themselves. I personally think this is probably the background of the story of 'Four Seas'.
But as a tourist, I am amazed by the sight of neatly arranged boats at the dock, I can't help but sigh at the lonely and desolate sight of a sunken ship in the sea, and I praise the delicious seafood cooked with unique techniques. These are all genuine experiences that can only be had here.
Small sharing:
1⃣️Try to avoid holidays and weekends, otherwise there will be more cars, and it will take longer to queue to enter the Nan'ao Bridge. But honestly, it's not crowded after entering the island, the island is quite large.
2⃣️Join a local tour, you can go island hopping to Qin Peng Island to catch sea urchins and snorkel. The water quality there is more than twice as good, and the tour guide/instructor will also introduce you to various fish species during snorkeling. At meal times, you can also enjoy a seafood porridge with lots of ingredients, the experience is very good.
3⃣️The words 'Four Seas' have been erased, reportedly because of the danger of climbing, so don't think about checking in anymore
