The Tropic of Cancer runs through the island Lush green mountains⛰️, gradient blue sea🌊 Even the breeze carries romantic vibes🌬️ - 📌【Must-Visit Route】 The Tropic of Cancer crosses the island. Driving along the coastal road, you'll see lush green mountains⛰️ on the left and gradient blue sea🌊 on the right. First stop: head straight to the "Nan'ao" graffiti wall at sunset! The evening sun dyes the sea orange, and the romantic atmosphere in the air is simply intoxicating. Next, visit the Sanchongya Lighthouse - its white tower against the blue sea makes for perfect photos. Finally, head to the deserted beach and enjoy the tranquility of having the whole sea to yourself. - 🍤【Food Report】 Don't hesitate to try the seafood stalls near the pier! Freshly caught shrimp, crab, and shellfish - whether stir-fried with ginger and scallions or steamed - are incredibly delicious. Don't miss Nan'ao Island's signature seaweed fried rice, so tasty you'll clean your plate🍽️ For snacks, explore Houzhai Town. Try the grass jelly (similar to herbal jelly) with brown sugar - refreshing and perfect for balancing rich flavors, paired with a cup of local Phoenix Dancong tea for the ultimate experience! - 🏨【Accommodation Recommendation】 Stayed at Yishu Holiday Villa in Houzhai area - absolutely delightful✨ Floor-to-ceiling windows "frame" the sea right into your room.

I've seen too many negative posts about Nan'ao on Xiaohongshu As a local (from Chaoshan area, not Nan'ao), I want to give some practical advice For those who really want to visit It's best to choose self-driving or renting a car on the island Public transportation is inconvenient And I heard it's often hard to get taxis Coming to the island is mainly about enjoying natural scenery and sea views 🗺️Having visited Nan'ao Island 6-7 times, I've compiled a self-driving guide for everyone. 🚗Transportation Guide Driving to the island: Nan'ao Bridge toll is 96 yuan (only charged when entering), 11km long with stunning sea views - don't forget to take photos! If starting from Shantou city, avoid peak hours to prevent holiday traffic jams. Island driving: About 70km total, easily reaching all attractions with freedom to stop anywhere, but park properly to avoid tickets. 🏠Accommodation: Recommend Houzhai area for local vibes! Buy seaweed/squid snacks cheap at local markets (remember to bargain!) Walk to Qianjiang Bay Beach for sunset🌄, with many Instagram-worthy cafes☕ I stayed at Yishu Holiday Villa with ocean views. 🏞️Island Route 👉First stop: Changshanwei Lighthouse The iconic red-and-white lighthouse, perfect for photos. Capture the full Nan'ao Bridge view here. Sunset turns it magical, like a movie scene. Nearby parking: free for 15 mins. 👉Second stop: Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse Along the most beautiful coastal road, this beige lighthouse against blue sky/sea creates Japanese-style photos. Park 150m away (free but narrow road - careful if you're not confident driver). 👉Third stop: Tianzai Geological Park Viewing platform offers spectacular seascapes and wave-crashed rocks - great photo spot. 👉Fourth stop: Qianjiang Bay Beach Stroll the beach or try water sports. Nearby seafood restaurants available. Convenient parking. 👉Fifth stop: Yun'ao Bay Filming location for movie "Only Fools Rush In". Walk along Huangang Road to the lighthouse for romantic vibes. Fresh, affordable seafood here. 👉Sixth stop: Haiquan Bay (Tropic of Cancer spot) Navigate to Haiquan Bay community for the new Tropic of Cancer landmark and colorful Rainbow Road. Parking: free 15 mins, 10 yuan for 3 hours. 💡Tips 1. Plan itinerary and book accommodation early (peak season gets full). 2. Drive carefully - many curves, control speed. 3. Bring mosquito repellent (lots of bugs). 4. Check sunrise/sunset times and weather in advance.

Shantou! Nan'ao Island! Lying down and watching the sea view, I don't want to check out Staying at a super beautiful sea view homestay on Nan'ao Island, it's really worth crying for. Stayed with my boyfriend for 5 days and didn't want to check out, really sleeping in the sea. Sisters who are coming to Nan'ao Island, rush here! 1. The facilities are all high-tech smart voice-controlled unobstructed sea view rooms, couple bathtubs, 2-meter double beds, and they thoughtfully prepared a Chaozhou-Shantou specialty licorice fruit platter and Nan'ao seaweed, really very attentive! Every night they also provide drinks from the fridge. 2. The homestay is 40 kilometers from Shantou Station and 3 kilometers from Nan'ao Island. It allows you to face the magnificent sea view every day when you wake up. Imagine sitting gently on the beach in the evening, facing the gentle sea breeze, looking at the beautiful scenery of the sunset and the nightfall, isn't it super romantic? 3. The homestay allows you to see fishing boats catching squid on the sea. The large floor-to-ceiling windows of the homestay are colorful and super romantic~ The staff will carefully explain to you which nearby attractions are worth visiting, and also provide island play and food guides.
