You've got to visit Nan'ao Island! Here's a complete 3-day, 2-night itinerary:
â¤ď¸âYou simply must visit Nan'ao Island, feel the sea breeze on your face, and gaze at the azure waters.â On this trip, I finally journeyed to this dreamlike place of blue seas and skies, returning with a heart full of joy and tranquility.
â
Day 1: Encountering the Most Beautiful Sunriseđ
We chose to stay near Qing'ao Bay° so we could head straight to the beach to watch the sunriseđ
the next morning. At 5 am, the first light appeared on the horizon, gradually transforming into a vibrant orange-red. Gentle waves lapped at the shore as the sunđ slowly rose above the sea, painting the sky and ocean in golden hues. It was truly breathtaking.

Day 2: Cycling Around the Island, Chasing the Wind and Admiring the Sea
Rent a scooter and embark on a journey around the island â it's the best way to experience the charm of Nan'ao Island. Ride along the coastline, feeling the sea breeze on your face, and taking in the picturesque scenery. Pass by the Changshanwei Lighthouse, its red and white tower standing tall against the backdrop of the azure sea. Every photo you take here looks like a scene from a Japanese film.
đAt noon, enjoy a seafood feast on the island. I recommend Yumin Xincun Seafood Restaurant. Their steamed grouperđ is incredibly tender, and the salt and pepper mantis shrimpđŚ are crispy and flavorful. The prices are also very reasonable.đIn the afternoon, we visited the Back Garden Ecological Tourism Village, strolling through the woods, breathing in the fresh air, and overlooking the entire island. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Day 3: Waiting for a Sunset by the Seađ
After waking up naturally, we visited the Sanchuangya Lighthouse. This uniquely shaped lighthouse stands on the reefs by the sea, surrounded by magnificent scenery.
In the afternoon, find a beach chair by the sea, order a coconut drink, and quietly wait for the sunsetđ. As the sun sets, the afterglow paints the sea surface, creating shimmering waves. The whole world is enveloped in a gentle warmth.
