All day

Confirm the itinerary in advance and arrange a time with a "Jiaojiren" driver (not a tour guide, a local driver with long-term experience in accompanying people to visit Nan'ao Island) (reference time 9:00~11:00)

Meet at your Shantou hotel (Jinping District/Longhu District/Chenghai District/Haojiang District) in the morning for pick-up to start the tour, and then return to your hotel in Shantou city for the end of the tour.


Depart for Nan'ao Island according to the scheduled time and location. The drive takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Visit the attractions on Nan'ao Island.

Changshanwei Lighthouse is the first lighthouse you see when entering Nan'ao Island. It also serves as a viewing platform for the Nan'ao Bridge. The bright red tower is very eye-catching, paired with the warm yellow base seat and the azure sea, making it a very photogenic place.

Qian'aowang Lighthouse, whose history can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, is located on a long pier extending into the heart of the sea. The white tower body and green top contrast with the reefs and waves.

In order to commemorate the Maritime Silk Road, the Maritime Silk Road Square is divided into two levels of sea-viewing platforms, with tourist facilities such as sea-viewing platforms, sightseeing pavilions, sea-viewing bridges, coastal plank roads, situational sculptures, large natural stone landscapes, and sightseeing lampposts.

Yun'ao Pier, the largest port on the island, is a key landmark in the fishing port. Due to the film "Four Seas," it's a popular check-in spot for many tourists visiting Nan'ao.

Haiquan Bay and checking in at the 23rd parallel wall are one of the symbols of coming to South Australia. We visited and checked in here.

The Sancongya Lighthouse is a red and white lighthouse with a unique and artistic color scheme.

The Natural Gate in Tropic of Cancer Square is an evolution of the Chinese character "门". Every year at noon on the summer solstice, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, the shadow of the sun will pass through the central circular tube of the sphere above and be projected onto the center of the platform.

The colorful buoys floating on the surface of the Rainbow Sea were originally used by fishermen to locate the location of oysters under the sea, but now they have become a magnificent landscape.

Around 17:30, return to Shantou city and disband

Nan'ao Island, a beautiful maritime oasis, sits at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan provinces, boasting a strategic location. Since ancient times, Nan'ao has been a vital port and transit point for trade along the southeastern coast, earning the title of "Maritime Mutual Trade" as early as the Ming Dynasty. Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island boasts a gently sloping beach with fine sand, clear waters of moderate salinity, making it an excellent natural bathing beach and one of Guangdong Province's two Class A bathing beaches. Blue skies, azure seas, green islands, golden sands, and white waves are the hallmarks of Nan'ao's ecotourism.
