Shantou Nan'ao Island is truly amazing! Hiding here to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunrise is 100 times more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room! Here’s a detailed nanny-level guide, follow it to avoid any pitfalls~
🏨Hotel: Nan'ao Yinghai Qingshe Meisu  
📍Location: Building 2, Shanhaihui, Longyun Road, Houzhai Town, Nan'ao County, Shantou
• 180° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows🌅 Lie in bed and wait for the sunrise, just 10 minutes downstairs to step on the soft sand of Qianjiang Bay, the sea breeze tastes salty and sweet!
• The public terrace is amazing! Rattan sofa + free afternoon tea☕ Watch fishing boats sail on the sea, like watching a moving seascape painting
• The owner is a “living island map”! Directly hands you a hand-drawn guide: “Changshanwei Lighthouse sunrise at 7 is the best,” “Yun'ao morning market at 8 to grab crabs,” and even helps contact seafood processing, steamed fresh to the point of eyebrow-raising!
• Clean freaks will love it: smart toilet + inverted sterilized cups + spotless bedding, latex mattress so soft you won’t want to get up!
【Must-visit spots】Perfect for summer vacation + photo ops
🌟Top photo spots
1. Qing'ao Bay: fine sand and clear water! The Tropic of Cancer marker tower is here, perfect for Instagram-worthy photos
2. Changshanwei Lighthouse: rush here at dusk! Sunset + lighthouse in one frame, straight-out-of-phone photos are wallpaper-worthy
3. Pingshanyan Temple: climb to the top to see the “two-colored sea”🌊 Red walls and bamboo shadows make for stunning ancient-style shots
4. Qizipeng Windmill Hill: giant windmills are super soothing, but no shade, so best to go early morning or late evening
👨👩👧 Family/interactive must-try
• Go fishing at sea: rent a boat in the fishing village (more people means better price), have the caught seafood cooked at a restaurant, so fresh you’ll want to stomp your feet
• Houjiang Beach tide hunting: digging for green mussels is super fun! Be sure to check the tide schedule in advance⏰
• Huanghua Mountain Forest Park: hike during the day, overlook the entire Nan'ao Bridge, cool off and get some exercise
【Transportation & tips】A must-read for lazy travelers
1. Transportation: driving yourself is best! The whole island loop takes less than 2 hours, stop anytime for photos; after taking the high-speed train to Shantou, rent a car to enter the island for great value
2. Seafood: buy fresh seafood at Houzhai Town market, find a street stall to cook it, steaming preserves the freshest taste
3. Stay: pick a sunny day! You can see both sunrise and sunset, no need to edit photos in the room
4. Gear: bring dresses + sunscreen! Riding an electric scooter around the coast with the sea breeze is super refreshing~
Who understands! Lying in the guesthouse at night, listening to the sound of the waves and watching fireworks by the sea, this is what summer should be like!
