Tropic of Cancer runs through the main island of South Australia, so the Tropic of Cancer square at the easternmost tip of Qingao is undoubtedly one of the landmarks of the South Australia must punch. Facing the sea, whether dazed or viewing, is a great place. It is also a popular place for tourists to stay, and it is also a place to stay for water activities, and there are water bikes for rent.

Additional Information
Introduction
The Symbolic Tower of the Tropic of Cancer is one of only four examples of this kind of tower in the world. Built halfway up the Jilong mountain north of Shantou University, it is an important site developed by the city of Shantou to popularize scientific education among young people. The Symbolic Tower is made up of a support structure in the shape of the Chinese character '北' (bei, north) which is holding up a globe of the Earth. At 12 noon on the summer solstice each year, the light from the sun will shine directly through the center of the sphere to the ground below. At this time of year the Symbolic Tower is well worth seeing.

On the southern island of Shantou, Guangdong, there is a Tropic of Cancer Square, a landmark building in the square, the Tropic of Cancer Tower, a tower in the middle of the earth, in China's Baodao, Taiwan's southernmost end, there is the same Tropic of Cancer.
The "gate of nature" of the tropic of cancer mark tower in Nan'ao, Shantou, is one of the 11 tropic of cancer mark towers built in China, which is at the intersection of the tropic of cancer with the east coast of China. On Nan'ao County, the only island county in Guangdong, is also the only Tropic of Cancer tower located on the island. To the bi punch card attraction of Nanao Island, you can also watch a sunrise here in the morning in Qingao Bay, but for the weather, you can stop at the paid parking lot if you drive by yourself. You can also stop opposite the road. At least when I stop, it is ok.
Shantou Tropic of Cancer Square, in the island of Nan'ao Qing'ao Bay. The seaside, one side is residential building, one side is a variety of snacks, not far from several seafood stalls. Local landmarks.
[Scenery] The weather is fine and suitable for traveling. The scenic spot is located on Nan'ao Island. The shape of the landmark tower on the Tropic of Cancer is very different. [Fun] There are tourists operating the drone, and it seems that aerial photography feels better. [Value for money] Free attractions, worth checking in.
