I really don't regret going to Nan'ao Island this season!
Nan'ao Island is really good for taking pictures
It's winter, it's time to go to some warm islands to renew the summer. Take bus 161k directly from Shantou Railway Station (one bus per hour, grasp the time, we didn't plan well, the time we arrived just left, didn't want to waste time and took a carpool, 30 per person, 50 bargained down, haha really smart)
". Nan'ao Island is quite big and there are many scenic spots. Sisters who are not self-driving are recommended to rent a small electric car. We rented 50 a day and a deposit of 50. The cost performance is super high and the power is very durable. After a whole day of speeding, only two grids are used.
In terms of route, you can follow the navigation around the sea. The more popular lighthouse, bridge, square, lonely tree, and Tropic of Cancer are all on the way.
Because my sisters and I are senior islanders, we didn't take the usual route and took the mountain road in the middle. The view of the sea from the top of the mountain is also unique. We encountered a super photogenic mountain road in the middle. The leaves are dense and the sun is shining. It's great to take pictures. Sisters who have visited the island can hide it.
Pay attention
Pay attention to the sunset time. It's best not to be in the mountains when it's dark. The mountain road is quite dangerous when it's dark, and it's best to get to the beach before sunset. The sunset on Nan'ao Island is really beautiful. It's the kind of beauty that you won't get tired of watching a few times.
About the weather, the perceived temperature is warm, you can wear summer skirts, but when the sea breeze blows over, under the shade of trees and when riding a bike, it's very cold. It is generally recommended to wear early spring and autumn clothes, or summer clothes with a large coat

Nan`ao Island (Shantou)
We went on a trip down the coast from Xiamen to Shenzhen and stopped by Nan'ao Island. This Light House was the highlight. Expensive Island to visit crossing the bridge. Personally, don't think its worth it but I did enjoy this view of the lighthouse. #urbanexplorer #guangdong #shantou #lighthouse #chinatravel
The first stop of Nan'ao Island, the landlord's seafood restaurant on the edge of the temple, the night time, the Guangdong local speciality layout decoration, business is very hot. A dozen fresh seafood is served on the table, feel free to feel it.
are more common seafood, signature squid, ginger onion fried crab, steamed bagged male fish, and rose snails, called the name can not be named. Most like the signature squid, the squid squid is fresh and crispy, and the crab has two ways to eat, steamed and soup. There are also rare rose snails, which have a sharp eyebrow.
It takes about one and a half hours by car to reach Jieyang Airport and arrive at Nan'ao County from the airport. This is the only island county in Guangdong Province, China. I havent felt this kind of comfort for a long time. I havent enjoyed the time on the road for a long time. The sea breeze is not cool and not cold, the scenery is pleasant and unsatisfactory, and the leisure of the southern fishing island life is far away from strangeness and inexplicable intimacy. And the little hunter's little companion, spent a comfortable day before the sea fishing, when the evening sun went down, I saw two or three people walking on the beach, blending into the beauty of this painting.
A day spent on Nanao Island, this is the day before the sea fishing. Our lunch was chosen by a local acquaintance in a sea restaurant in Shenao, named Yifa Fishing Village. This restaurant is not particularly tall. On the island, but the location on the island is particularly good, the entire restaurant is vacated above the water on the shore, in the restaurant, it looks like the turquoise water surface, the water surface is very clear, really like those foreign pure pictures, comfortable mood In words, just pressing the shutter is a large landscape.
The town of Yunao fishing town has come here, which brings me closer to the life of the fishermen on the island, the big boat in the water, the motor vehicles and motorcycles on the land, and so on. Like a seaweed seaweed drifting, seaweed seaweed spray dance... Recently, the seaweed sang in the song of the short video platform fire, the little brother accompanying the tour in Nanao Island said that the song is the asparagus, we are fishing in this sea. At the pier that went out to sea, I saw many people busy on the pier. The men were weaving fish nets there, and the women were here to pack the asparagus and the charming fishing island scene.
The South Australian General Armed Forces is located between the east of Guangdong and southern Fujian. It is a military location in the southeastern coast of Nan'ao Island. It is the name of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the headquarters of the South Australian General. Like the South Armed Forces, the regional zoning function is the Tropic of Cancer. The two are the ancient military and the dividing line of the temperature band. The Qinghai Bay Tropic of Cancer marking tower, the Tropic of Cancer is the dividing line between the north temperate zone and the climatic zone on the earth, that is, the weft coil of 23°26' north latitude. The Tropic of Cancer marker tower is a landmark building that passes through the geography of the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line that is invisible. The establishment of the sign tower allows people to visually see the objective entities of the Tropic of Cancer and feel the existence of this latitude. It is of great significance to the scientific research of astronomy, geography, soil, biology and climate.
Nanao Island is shaped like a inverted hoist floating in the sea. Before the opening of the Nan'ao Bridge, it was an isolated island, said to be an island, but there is a county with an independent Shantou, called Nanao County, the only county in Shantou. The Nan'ao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. It feels like it is not too thin. It not only greatly facilitates the entry and exit of the islanders, but also gives us the convenience of these foreign visitors to drive the island. Although there are round-the-island buses on the island, there are not many trains and the time interval is very long, so to be honest, this place is very inconvenient if it is not self-driving.
If I say the impression of Nanao Island, it is generally a well-regulated island. Therefore, I hope that everyone will play with a feeling of being in a hurry. Don't imagine it is too good, then it is not too bad. In particular, the small holiday does not charge the bridge fee, and there are not many people on the island. When a place lacks a crowded scene, I feel a lot about it.
Nan'ao Island is a hidden gem recommended by National Geographic.
Compared to popular tourist cities, I prefer this treasure island, where I can experience the local leisurely slow life, cycle around the island, enjoy the island scenery, and watch the sunrise and sunset over the sea. It's comfortable and relaxing. 🌟
🏝️ I stayed on the island for three days and cycled around it twice. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and I never got tired of taking photos. The island is 62 km in circumference, so even if you only have one day, it's enough. However, I recommend staying on the island for a day to witness the stunning sunrise and sunset over the sea. It's truly worth it. 🥰
📸 Recommended photo spots:
1️⃣ Tianyu Mountain Villa: A road leading to the sea.
2️⃣ Qiyun Pavilion: A solitary tree and a wide view from the cliff, although the lawn is a bit bare now.
3️⃣ Sanchongya Lighthouse: You can sit next to the rocks and take close-up photos with the lighthouse.
4️⃣ Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse: Standing on the lighthouse boardwalk, enjoying the sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks is very comfortable and photogenic.
5️⃣ Rainbow Pier: A place where you can see the rainbow sea along the way, and it's even more beautiful with the sunset.
6️⃣ Cape Beach Camp: A small abandoned camp with swings and a scallop beach, perfect for taking photos.
📍 Nan'ao Island, Shantou, Guangdong
🚘 Transportation: You can drive to the island or take bus 161a or 161k from Shantou Railway Station, bus 203k from Chenghai Bus Terminal in Chenghai District, or bus 105 from downtown Shantou, all of which go directly to the visitor center on Nan'ao Island.
🔴 If you're driving from downtown Shantou to Nan'ao Island, it only takes 1 hour, but there's a bridge toll of 96 to enter the island, and no toll to leave. I drove there, and cycling around the island was very comfortable. There are parking spaces near most scenic spots. Since I drove for a long time, I brought some delicious and filling snacks, such as vacuum-packed eggs and chicken legs, which are tasty and satisfying!
🔴 Besides driving, there are many places along the road where you can rent electric bikes for island tours. The price ranges from 60 to 120, and you can bargain. Before renting, remember to ask about the mileage range!
🏠 Accommodation:
Houzhai Town is the first choice, with convenient transportation, plenty of food, and easy access to various places.

Nan Dao Fish Stall (Songjing Village), Amei Fried Ice, Chengbo Salted Egg Yolk, Ranji Sweet Soup

A guide to a spontaneous family trip to Nan'ao Island and Shantou.
Before departure:
🧑🏻: How about we go to Shantou and Nan'ao Island tomorrow?
👩🏻: Are you serious? We haven't even planned the route yet. 😂
🧑🏻: Let's just go with the flow! We'll leave tomorrow morning!
👩🏻: Okay, let's do it! Haha.
👶🏻: The kid was so excited about the trip that he couldn't sleep at night, but he fell asleep as soon as we got in the car and slept all the way there (he was full of energy as soon as we arrived at the destination, haha).
We drove from Guangzhou to Shantou and Nan'ao Island for a 3-day, 2-night trip, which took more than 6 hours. We didn't do much research before the trip, and we searched for places to visit on the way and adjusted our itinerary as we went. When traveling with kids, the key is to be "casual and comfortable"! There's no need to plan everything perfectly. Just go with the flow and enjoy the moment.
Travel tips
⭐ Nan'ao Island:
1. Toll for self-driving: The toll for the Nan'ao Island Bridge is CNY 96 for a one-way trip and CNY 192 for a round trip.
2. Accommodation options:
• If you want to watch the sunset and try various foods, we recommend staying in Houzhai Town, where there are many popular restaurants on the nearby streets, making it very convenient to eat and drink.
• If you want to watch the sunrise, you can choose to stay in Qing'ao Bay.
3. Transportation & parking:
• Parking at scenic spots costs CNY 10 per hour. We recommend parking in designated areas, or you may get a parking ticket.
• Renting an electric bike: There are electric bike rental shops everywhere. Prices are negotiable during the off-season, and CNY 50 per day is common.
Note: Nan'ao Island is very large. Locals say it takes about 3 to 4 hours to tour the entire island by electric bike. Therefore, we recommend a combination of "electric bike + self-driving" to experience the island. You can use an electric bike for short distances and drive for longer distances.
• Our itinerary: We used an electric bike to explore the area around our accommodation, and after checking out, we drove around the island, following the coastline all the way out of Nan'ao Island and heading straight to Shantou.
⭐ Shantou:
Although we didn't stay long, the food experience is definitely not to be missed!
1. Accommodation options:
We recommend staying around MixC or Longyan South Road, which are convenient for transportation and have many specialty foods. Especially around Longyan South Road, almost every restaurant is delicious, so you can't go wrong with any choice!
Summary
Traveling with kids can be tiring, but it's also full of joy. Experiencing the moment and different scenery with your child is the true meaning of travel!
