Who understands! Lying on Nan'ao Island watching the sea for 4 days, summer vacation is simply legendary

Shantou Nan'ao Island is truly amazing! Hiding here to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunrise is 100 times more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room! Here’s a detailed nanny-level guide, follow it to avoid any pitfalls~ 🏨Hotel: Nan'ao Yinghai Qingshe Meisu 📍Location: Building 2, Shanhaihui, Longyun Road, Houzhai Town, Nan'ao County, Shantou • 180° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows🌅 Lie in bed and wait for the sunrise, just 10 minutes downstairs to step on the soft sand of Qianjiang Bay, the sea breeze tastes salty and sweet! • The public terrace is amazing! Rattan sofa + free afternoon tea☕ Watch fishing boats sail on the sea, like watching a moving seascape painting • The owner is a “living island map”! Directly hands you a hand-drawn guide: “Changshanwei Lighthouse sunrise at 7 is the best,” “Yun'ao morning market at 8 to grab crabs,” and even helps contact seafood processing, steamed fresh to the point of eyebrow-raising! • Clean freaks will love it: smart toilet + inverted sterilized cups + spotless bedding, latex mattress so soft you won’t want to get up! 【Must-visit spots】Perfect for summer vacation + photo ops 🌟Top photo spots 1. Qing'ao Bay: fine sand and clear water! The Tropic of Cancer marker tower is here, perfect for Instagram-worthy photos 2. Changshanwei Lighthouse: rush here at dusk! Sunset + lighthouse in one frame, straight-out-of-phone photos are wallpaper-worthy 3. Pingshanyan Temple: climb to the top to see the “two-colored sea”🌊 Red walls and bamboo shadows make for stunning ancient-style shots 4. Qizipeng Windmill Hill: giant windmills are super soothing, but no shade, so best to go early morning or late evening 👨👩👧 Family/interactive must-try • Go fishing at sea: rent a boat in the fishing village (more people means better price), have the caught seafood cooked at a restaurant, so fresh you’ll want to stomp your feet • Houjiang Beach tide hunting: digging for green mussels is super fun! Be sure to check the tide schedule in advance⏰ • Huanghua Mountain Forest Park: hike during the day, overlook the entire Nan'ao Bridge, cool off and get some exercise 【Transportation & tips】A must-read for lazy travelers 1. Transportation: driving yourself is best! The whole island loop takes less than 2 hours, stop anytime for photos; after taking the high-speed train to Shantou, rent a car to enter the island for great value 2. Seafood: buy fresh seafood at Houzhai Town market, find a street stall to cook it, steaming preserves the freshest taste 3. Stay: pick a sunny day! You can see both sunrise and sunset, no need to edit photos in the room 4. Gear: bring dresses + sunscreen! Riding an electric scooter around the coast with the sea breeze is super refreshing~ Who understands! Lying in the guesthouse at night, listening to the sound of the waves and watching fireworks by the sea, this is what summer should be like! Any sisters ready to rush to Nan'ao Island? Let’s find travel buddies in the comments~
