Nanao Mountain Yunshu Villa, who wouldn’t love a divine stay with a sea view right at the door?

As a travel enthusiast who has stayed at countless island accommodations, I was completely captivated by Nanao Mountain Yunshu Seaview Holiday Villa (Qing'ao Bay Beach Branch)! 📍Detailed address: Building 29, Peninsula Yijing Garden Villa Area, Yunqing Road, Qing'ao Bay, Shen'ao Town, Nanao. This hidden gem villa in Qing'ao Bay is truly worth multiple visits! 🌴 Highlights Who can resist the temptation of "step out the door onto the beach, lie in bed and watch the sea"? The villa is right by Qing'ao Bay Beach, offering a genuine first-line sea view! The villa’s exterior features a fresh Instagram-style design, with white walls accented by greenery, perfect for photos. The best part is the infinity sea view pool in the public area, where the blue pool water merges seamlessly with the ocean, making swimming feel like becoming one with the sea 🌊 🏡 Hotel Environment The entire villa area is a peaceful oasis amid the bustle, with strong privacy. The courtyard is filled with bougainvillea and coconut trees, making every snapshot feel like a tropical vacation. The sea view terrace in the public area is my favorite spot, furnished with rattan tables and chairs. Having tea here in the afternoon while watching the sea slows down time. At night, when the string lights in the courtyard light up, the atmosphere is perfect for chatting with friends and stargazing—so cozy and delightful ✨ 🛏️ Room Facilities I stayed in the sea view king room, which is spacious enough to spin around in! The room is decorated in a simple natural wood style, paired with blue soft furnishings that perfectly echo the sea view theme. The bedding is so soft you won’t want to get up, and there are several pillow options that are especially good for neck support. The biggest surprise is the large balcony with a hanging chair and tea table—watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening here is absolutely amazing! The bathroom features a dry and wet separation, with a smart toilet and tropical rainforest showerhead, and hot water comes instantly. The toiletries have a light ocean scent, leaving your skin silky smooth after washing—detail lovers will be very satisfied 🧴 👍 Top Recommendations - Sea View Pool: Be sure to go around 3 or 4 PM when the sun isn’t too strong. Photos come out with a natural filter, and there are fewer people, so you can enjoy the whole pool—who wouldn’t love that! - Sea View Terrace: Whether for breakfast or afternoon tea, eating on the terrace feels very special. Watching the sea while dining even improves your appetite. - Beach Walks: The villa is right at Qing'ao Bay Beach, with fine sand. Evening strolls on the soft sand, listening to the waves, are healing to the core. Nearby Attractions - Qing'ao Bay Tropic of Cancer Marker Tower: A 10-minute walk, it’s the only island Tropic of Cancer marker tower in the country. Great for meaningful photos and learning geography 📸 - Song Well: A 15-minute drive, this historical site on Nanao Island features an ancient well that has never dried up, full of stories. - General’s Mansion: A 20-minute drive, this was a military stronghold during the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a rustic architectural style. History buffs shouldn’t miss it. 🍤 Dining Recommendations - Villa Kitchen: You can buy fresh seafood yourself and cook it in the villa’s kitchen, which provides utensils. The cooking fee is very reasonable, allowing you to enjoy the freshest seafood feast. - Aliu Seafood Stall: Near the villa, a local favorite. Recommended dishes include salt and pepper mantis shrimp and steamed grouper. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and about 80 RMB per person to eat until full. - Sister Xu’s Dishes: A popular spot on Nanao Island. Recommended are the crispy cuttlefish cakes and Nanao shrimp pancakes. The taste is amazing, but expect queues during peak season—try to go off-peak. 🚗 Transportation Tips - Self-driving: From Shantou city center, take the Shenhai Expressway to Nanao Bridge, about 1.5 hours total. The bridge toll is 96 RMB (charged entering the island, free leaving). The villa has free parking, very convenient. - Public Transport: Take bus 161 from Shantou Bus Terminal to Nanao County, then taxi to the villa. The whole trip takes about 2 hours, with a taxi fare around 50 RMB. - Island Transport: Renting an electric scooter is recommended since attractions are spread out. Scooters are flexible and convenient, costing 50-80 RMB per day. Don’t forget to bargain. I stayed here for three days and was healed by the sea view every day. Waking up to the sound of waves in the morning, watching the sunset on the beach in the evening, and listening to the wind in the courtyard at night—this slow-paced island life is addictive. If you want a private, stunning sea view stay on Nanao Island, Yunshu is definitely the top choice. Once you come, you’ll understand what “once here, you don’t want to leave” means!
