Shantou | Three-Day Two-Night Guide (Travel Edition)

"One true word from you, and I'm truly in Shantou" Spent the holidays with friends on a laid-back trip to Shantou, focusing on eating, drinking, and wandering to experience the slow pace of life -Travel and Accommodation Suggestions ✈️Pudong Airport - Jieyang Airport After landing, you can choose to take a taxi, the airport bus directly to the city center, or the airport shuttle to Jieyang Station and then take the high-speed train to Shantou Station (all of which take about 1-1.5h) 🏠It is recommended to stay near Vientiane City in the city center Vientiane City is located in the center of the city, with convenient living facilities nearby, very close to Longyan South Road Food Street, and it is convenient to go to Xiaogongyuan or Nan'ao Island/Mayu Island (located in the middle) 🚌Traveling in Shantou is absolutely inseparable from motorcycles, you'll definitely get addicted! Just use Weixin to scan and go, stop wherever you want, and feel the speed and passion of the city haha -Itinerary Shantou city is not big, plus a few famous islands Inside the city, Xiaogongyuan is worth visiting, it is a must-visit landmark, Xiaogongyuan scenic area is very small, 2h is enough for taking photos📷, you can book the museum on the same day or pay attention to local events like Yingge Dance Lantern Festival, etc. Nan'ao Island's ring road is very famous, as well as the lighthouse, but when we went, it was peak time and it took hours to get on the island, so we gave up and turned to Mayu Island, which is also very small haha, mainly seaside rocks, the statue of Guanyin looking out to sea, mural village, etc. Additionally, on the first night, we went to the East Coast Avenue to set off fireworks (super cool!) Here's the plan👇 Day1 Xiaogongyuan Zhongshan Memorial Pavilion - Shantou Post Office - Shantou Hotel - Arcade Buildings (mostly in Xiaogongyuan) - Xiti Park (best spot to photograph Shantou Panstone Bridge) - Rest in the homestay after lunch - Fireworks by the sea after dinner Day2 Mayu Island: Tao Zhu Pavilion - Mayu Blue Bookstore - Group photo on the seaside rocks - Mural village on the west side of the island - Mazu Temple - Mayu Community Emergency Shelter (best spot to photograph Shantou Bay Bridge) In short, experiencing local life and appreciating Chaozhou scenery only accounted for 40% of the Shantou trip, the main focus was on eating and drinking, the next article will continue to share!
