A Stunning Sunrise Guide to Nan'ao Island: Embrace the Romantic Dawn at Qing'ao Bay.

Hey friends! If you're looking for a breathtaking sunrise over the sea, Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island is a must-see! I woke up at 5:30 a.m. for this romantic sunrise, and it was totally worth it! Best Viewing Spot—Qing'ao Bay During fall and winter, the best place to watch the sunrise on Nan'ao Island is Qing'ao Bay. Its beauty can only be truly experienced in person. You can navigate directly to the "Peninsula Holiday Hotel" near Qing'ao Bay. From there, it's just a two- or three-minute walk to the beach. Parking at the hotel is charged, but it's capped at 20 yuan. The beach itself is a public area and free to access. This vast beach with its powerful waves crashing against the shore creates an amazing atmosphere, especially with the sunrise as a backdrop. The view of the sunrise is fantastic, and the beach isn't crowded. As long as the weather is good, you can enjoy the entire sunrise process. It's truly relaxing! Sunrise Time The sunrise viewing period is roughly from 5:40 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. We arrived at 6 a.m. and were greeted by gorgeous rosy clouds painting half the sky—absolutely stunning! Around 7 a.m., the sun fully emerged, casting a dazzling glow on the shimmering sea. The period when the sun is fully visible lasts about 10 minutes, and every second is precious. Travel Tips 1. Stay Warm: The seaside is very windy and cold in the morning, so dress warmly. Bring a thick coat, scarf, and hat. Don't sacrifice comfort for style. Your health is most important, and watching the sunrise is more enjoyable when you're warm and cozy. 2. Choose Accommodation Wisely: I highly recommend staying at a hotel or guesthouse near Qing'ao Bay. This will save you travel time and allow you to sleep in a bit longer. After all, waking up early for the sunrise is already a feat, so every extra minute of sleep counts. Plus, staying nearby means you can head back to the hotel for a nap after watching the sunrise. How great is that? 3. Photography Tips: To capture stunning sunrise photos, try zooming in 2x or 5x on your phone. This will help you capture different perspectives of the beautiful scenery. Whether it's the sparkling sea, the vibrant rosy clouds, or the rising sun, different focal lengths can showcase their unique charm. Don't forget to take lots of photos to record these beautiful moments and share them on social media to make your friends envious. Friends, the stunning sunrise at Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island is not to be missed. Find a suitable time to come here and experience a romantic dawn. I believe this sunrise will become one of your most unforgettable travel memories. Plan your trip now and join me in experiencing this beauty!
