Watching the sunrise on Nan'ao Island is an unforgettable experience!

Watching the sunrise on Nan'ao Island is an unforgettable experience. Atmosphere and Scenery - Tranquil Atmosphere: Nan'ao Island is very peaceful in the early morning. On the way to the viewing point, there are likely only a few vehicles and pedestrians. After arriving at the seaside, the gentle sea breeze carries the salty smell of the sea, and the waves gently lap the beach, bringing a sense of tranquility. - Changing Colors: Before sunrise, the horizon gradually brightens, changing from a pale pink to orange-red. As the sun slowly rises, the colors of the sky continue to change, gradually shifting from orange-red to bright blue, while the sea surface is dyed golden yellow, sparkling as if sprinkled with gold. - Magnificent Scenery: The moment the sun breaks through the horizon, the whole world seems to be illuminated. Golden rays dance on the sea, dyeing the skyline in a magnificent orange-red. At Qing'ao Bay, you can also see the sunlight shining on the "Gate of Nature," the Tropic of Cancer marker tower, creating a unique scene. At the Santongya Lighthouse, the lighthouse complements the sunrise, sea, and lawn, creating a richly layered scene, perfect for photography. Viewing Locations - Qing'ao Bay Tropic of Cancer Square: This is a classic check-in spot. The sunrise view is unobstructed in winter, but may be partially blocked by Dongjiao Mountain in summer. Arrive 30 minutes early to secure a front-row viewing spot and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sun rising from the sea. You can also include the beach and the landmark "Gate of Nature" in your photos. - Santongya Lighthouse: The sunrise view is unobstructed for most of the year. The combination of the lighthouse, lawn, and sea makes it ideal for photography enthusiasts. The sunrise is unobstructed in summer, while in winter it may be partially blocked by mountains, but the seascape dotted with fishing boats has a unique poetic charm. - Zhuqiduyan Bay: In summer, this is one of the best spots to watch the sunrise on Nan'ao Island, offering a completely unobstructed view of the sunrise over the sea. The pedestrian culvert at the end of the beach is a unique shooting location, allowing you to frame your shots using the culvert opening. However, starting from mid-October, the sunrise here may gradually be blocked by the mountains. Tips - Check the weather forecast and sunrise time in advance. It is recommended to arrive at the viewing point 30-60 minutes early to capture the entire process from the "blue hour" to sunrise. - The temperature at the seaside is low in the early morning, so remember to bring a jacket to stay warm. - If you want to take good photos, find a good spot in advance, prepare your photography equipment, and bring a portable charger to prevent your phone from running out of battery.
