Be sure to choose good weather to visit Nan'ao! Weather affects the quality of sea viewing! 2. There is no subway, only buses/taxis 3. To take a photo with the 'Tropic of Cancer' sign, you need to enter Huanghua Mountain Park, which has an entrance fee of 20 yuan, and you need to queue for photos! 4. Choose the lighthouse you like to visit; there's no need to visit all of them. 5. The blue tears of Nan'ao are a rare phenomenon, they were indeed present in previous years, but now they are not. The stunning blue tears online are due to fluorescent powder being scattered for photography purposes. 6. The toll for driving to Nan'ao Island is 96 yuan, charged only once for a round trip, and is free on public holidays. There is no toll when taking the bus. 7.
