Shantou + Nan'ao Island 5 days and 4 nights, you can have fun with your kids, with detailed arrangements Just came back from Shantou and Nan'ao Island, 5 days and 4 nights was quite comfortable, I compiled a guide, whether you are with your kids or friends, follow it and you will basically avoid pitfalls. Day 1: Eat and stroll in Shantou City, slow pace Go directly to Shantou on the first day, no need to rush, just stroll in the city. Several places to go: small park, 1 yuan square ferry, Longyan South Road Food Street. For food, you must try beef hot pot, Chaoshan pickled vegetables, fermented bean curd chicken wings, oyster omelet, and braised goose. Talk about a few specific stores: - Non-legacy Aixi dry noodles: Their pork belly soup must be ordered, it tastes especially fresh. The beef balls are also authentic, but it's a bit greasy to eat two, don't order too much. - Ruijiao Grandma Chaoshan Pickled Vegetables: The business is very good, and there are often queues. If you don't want to wait, you can order takeout, the taste is the same. - Fuhecheng Beef Balls (Fuping Road): This is the main store, and the taste is the best. There is also a beef hotpot restaurant next to it, with a similar name. Don't go wrong, just look for the three words "Fuhecheng". You must take the square ferry around 5pm in the evening, so you can see the sunset, which is super beautiful. As soon as you get on the boat, go to the second floor, where there is a good place to take pictures. If you go late, you will have to wait in line. Day2-5: In-depth tour of Nan'ao Island, comfortable stay and fun It is quite convenient to rent a car from Shantou City to Nan'ao Island. There are many places to play on the island, and I will talk about it in several aspects: Accommodation: Choose the right place to save trouble You must choose an accommodation on the island that can see the sea, but it also depends on the area. If you want a convenient life, I recommend Sheshangju LOFT Xinghai Apartment in Houzhai Town. There are projectors, air purifiers, washing machines in the room, and the living facilities are quite complete. Going out is the main street, which is convenient for eating, renting cars, and shopping without having to go far. Transportation: Try both electric cars and cars You can rent electric cars or cars on the island. Try both and you will feel different. Electric cars cost 40-50 yuan a day, and it is quite flexible to ride around the alleys. If you rent a car, it is recommended to choose a convertible, which is very pleasant to drive around. Touring around the island at sunset in the evening, with the wind blowing on your face and looking at the sunset in the sky, is very comfortable. Play: You can try these projects There are many things to do on the island, such as sea fishing, sea catching, glass sea snorkeling, night squid fishing, motorboats, etc. We only experienced sea catching, and I have to say a few words: It is not recommended to bring children under 7 years old. There are a lot of seaweed on the beach after low tide, which is easy to slip. Be sure to wear high boots, not sandals. It is best to go during the day. It is inconvenient and unsafe at night because it is too dark. For glass sea snorkeling, you need to take a speedboat to a small island. The water is full of fish, but it is not as beautiful as imagined. You need to wear diving goggles if you want to see clearly. We later played on the beach of Glass Sea, where there are plenty of places to eat and rest, making it more relaxing. Food: You can go to these restaurants without worry For seafood, go to Delicious Fresh Seafood Restaurant, where the food is fresh and not expensive. You must order the salt and pepper shrimp and fresh seaweed fried rice, which are so delicious that you will lick the plate. For barbecue, the most recommended restaurants online are Longdi Yindu Seafood Barbecue, Dasixi, Aliu, and Longweiding. The reviews are good and bad, depending on your personal taste. If you want to try, you can go. For dessert, I recommend Jie Xin Dessert, which is a little expensive and the portion is not large, but the taste is really good and worth a try. Xiaodao Seafood Braised Hot Pot is also very special, with a strong brine flavor and fresh seafood, which is different from the hot pot you usually eat. Note: Sun protection is the top priority The ultraviolet rays on the island are really strong, so you must do a good job of sun protection, and arrange hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sun protection clothes, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned. If you are traveling with children, it is recommended to go out after 7 o'clock in the morning. Don't go out in the afternoon. The sun is too strong and children are prone to heatstroke. After this trip, I feel that the food in Shantou City is comfortable, the scenery of Nan'ao Island is beautiful, and it is not too tiring to take care of children.
