3 Days 2 Nights Nanao Island Nanny-Level Guide: The Chaozhou-Shantou People's Island Utopia

Who doesn't know Nanao Island, Guangdong's hidden treasure island? As the province's only island county, it consists of Nanao Island plus 33 smaller islands. The mountain and sea scenery is breathtaking, and the Chaozhou-Shantou cuisine will have you eating until you can barely stand. You really have to come, or I'll insist you do! 💥 🌟 Must-Visit Highlights ▫️ Stunning Sea Views: You can't help but take photos while crossing the 11km Nanao Bridge; the car window is the perfect frame📸 ▫️ Lighthouse Tour: Changshanwei red and white striped lighthouse × Qian'ao Bay mint green ice cream lighthouse, exclusive Nanao check-in spots! ▫️ Tropic of Cancer: The "Gate of Nature" landmark tower at Qing'ao Bay, perfect for capturing that "crossing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres" social media shot🌎 ▫️ Fresh to the Max: Freshly caught seafood + Chaozhou-Shantou snacks, oyster omelet and seaweed fried rice are forever classics! Bring a 256GB stomach🦪 🗺️【Two Classic Itinerary Options】 👉🏻 Three-Day Deep Tour: DAY1 South Line Walk: Changshanwei Lighthouse (Address: Nanao Bridge Entrance) - Tianzi Geological Park - Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse DAY2 East Line Adventure: Sancongya Lighthouse (perfect sunrise spot) - Qing'ao Bay for water fun (the sand is as fine as flour!) DAY3 Forest Finale: Island National Forest Park (hike to the top of Dajianshan for a panoramic island view) + seafood market shopping 👉🏻 Two-Day Essentials: DAY1 Island Drive: Check in at all lighthouses + Tropic of Cancer landmark DAY2 Relax at Qing'ao Bay: Morning sea activities / Afternoon seafood feast (recommended: Awei Seafood Restaurant) 📍 Practical Tips: ➰ Transportation: Self-driving over the bridge is recommended (96 RMB toll), renting an electric scooter on the island for 50 RMB/day is also great ➰ Accommodation: Houzhai Town (convenient for dining) / Qing'ao Bay (stunning sea views) each has its pros and cons ➰ Season: Best from April to October, remember sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! (said three times)☀️ 💌 Embraced by the sea breeze, let the vibrant life of Chaozhou-Shantou heal you~
