Addicted after my first tide pooling experience! The treasure tide pooling guide for Nan'ao is here

Finally fulfilled the tide pooling dream with my growing kid! 👶🏻 It's really addictive! Along the Shenzhen-Xiamen route, Nan'ao Island is the top pick, truly the pinnacle of tide pooling spots✨ 🌊 Tide Pooling Tips: 1️⃣ Check the tide table in advance (the mudflats only appear at low tide) 2️⃣ Bring all the gear (small bucket + shovel + net bag are must-haves) 3️⃣ Focus on the rocky reef area! This is the real treasure hunting battlefield🤩 Our tide pooling haul was spectacular: 🦪 A bucket full of fresh oysters 🐚 Lots of rare snails 🦀 40+ little crabs ✨ 6 intact starfish 🐡 3 large sea urchins 🚗 Best self-driving route: Shenzhen → Shuangyue Bay → Shantou → Nan'ao → Chaozhou → Dongshan Island → Xiamen All along coastal roads + popular food spots + best value! 🔥 Must-visit spots in Nan'ao: 📍 Huanghua Mountain National Forest Park ⏰ 8:30-17:30 (last entry 17:00) 💸 20 RMB 🌳 Guangdong’s most beautiful forest oxygen bar! Perfect for Instagram-style photos 📍 Tianzai Geological Park (Free!) ⏰ 8:30-17:00 🌈 Stunning colorful Danxia landforms, recommended to wear light-colored clothes for photos 📍 Tropic of Cancer Monument 🌐 A must-visit for geography buffs! Unlock new photo poses here 📍 Ancient Cannon Fort Ruins ⚔️ Vintage military vibe + unbeatable sea views, a perfect spot for couples ❣️ Thoughtful tips: 1. Sunscreen from head to toe! UV rays are max at the seaside 2. Non-slip shoes are essential! The reef area is very slippery 3. Bring extra clothes! You will definitely get wet (don’t ask how I know 😝) Every snap is wallpaper-worthy! 🌊 Blue sky + jelly-like sea + greenery, it’s like a movie scene~ Check-in Guide
