Guangdong-Fujian Group Tour | Nan'ao Island - Tower/Bridge/Anchor.

Nan'ao Island, the only island county in Guangdong, is filled with a romantic island atmosphere. The first stop on Nan'ao Island is the Qihang Square, a landmark attraction on the island. It is a comprehensive square that integrates transportation, tourism, and commerce, located on the west side of Nan'ao County, adjacent to the Nan'ao Cross-sea Bridge. The most distinctive highlight here is the "three points and one line": tower, bridge, anchor + coastline. It's a great spot for taking photos. ① Changshanwei Lighthouse, also known as Qihang Square Lighthouse, is the first attraction after entering the island. The tower is red, forming a sharp contrast with the blue sea. Here, you can enjoy a distant view of the magnificent Nan'ao Bridge and a close-up view of the vast blue sea. The red lighthouse and Klein blue sea create a visual impact, like an oriental oil painting filled with dopamine colors. Changshanwei Lighthouse is one of the iconic buildings on Nan'ao Island. Its bright red appearance contrasts sharply with the blue sky and the majestic Nan'ao Bridge behind it, making it a must-visit spot for tourists. The red and white color combination of the lighthouse is perfect for photography, especially at sunset when the sky turns a reddish-orange, creating a romantic atmosphere with the lighthouse. The lighthouse not only serves as a navigation aid but also symbolizes protection and hope, acting as a guardian of the sea. ② Nan'ao Cross-sea Bridge, also known as Nan'ao Bridge, is a cross-sea passage connecting Chenghai District and Nan'ao County in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, with significant transportation and economic importance. Nan'ao Bridge is the first cross-sea low-tower cable-stayed bridge in China and the first true cross-sea bridge in Guangdong Province. ③ Qihang Square Anchor: It is the first meaningful attraction that tourists pass by after landing on the island. The square features a tall anchor with a rod, made of bronze, exuding a strong and powerful aura, yet with a sense of loneliness, as if telling every visitor the long and distant history of the island. The anchor on the square represents a way of life, the life of fishermen, symbolizing a spirit, the spirit of fishermen. Just like this strong and powerful anchor full of vicissitudes, fishermen set sail from this pier to make a living at sea, returning safely with a full load, experiencing the storms and vicissitudes of the sea. Fishermen live a life of constant change, seeking a living from the ever-changing sea, with no other way out. Survival of the fittest, always seeking a better way to develop.
