Nan'ao Island

I really don't want to leave after coming to Nan'ao Island. The weather was sunny when I got on the island. ☀️ Choosing a good day to go to the island is really important. There are three lighthouses on the island that you can arrange to visit in order. Nan'ao Island is quite large, it's recommended to rent a scooter (you can bargain). 🏨 Nan'ao Manxuan Residence has a relatively high cost-performance ratio during the off-season. 🍽️ Haoli Restaurant, Siji Xiang Goose Meat Restaurant Nan'ao Island

Shantou's Nan'ao Island is beautiful and a great off-the-beaten-path destination for spring. Attractions and Activities It is the eleventh largest island in China. Its geographical location and significance are also very important. As the only island that the Tropic of Cancer passes through in our country, it is also the boundary between the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Transportation and Accommodation Plane: Jieyang Airport High-speed train: Shantou Station From Shantou city center, take bus 161 A / B line to the tourist center and then take bus 602 to enter the island. On Nan'ao Island, the main means of transportation are buses and ride-hailing services. It is also recommended to rent a bicycle or electric scooter. I was on a day trip and didn't consider specific accommodation issues - it seems that most people stay in Houzhai Town and Qing'ao Bay. Food Recommendations Teochew beef and satay noodles are my favorites. Considerate TIPS Do not hail a black cab on the roadside, use a ride-hailing service instead. Do not buy seafood from roadside vendors indiscriminately; choose a fresh seafood market instead.

It is recommended to play on sunny days, with a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius. It is suggested to wear a fleece base shirt with a sweatshirt or sweater, and carry a jacket to deal with the strong wind by the sea. **Transportation:** - High-speed rail: from Shenzhen to Shantou. - Bus: Take the 161K route (12 yuan) from Shantou Railway Station to the Tourist Center, then transfer to the 601 route (7 yuan) to the Tropic of Cancer Square, and walk to Qing'ao Bay.

Nan'ao Island Day Tour Transportation: 161A Shantou Station - Houzai Town 12, about 1h Take 161A at 'Platform 5' of Shantou Station, take 161A/B/K at 'Water Sports Center' (near KFC) on Nan'ao Island, (it may be no seats if you get on the bus at the tourist center) Where to stay: Nan'ao Sheep. Si Hai Holiday Apartment 185s is located in Houzai Town, 100m away from the tourist center, the room is nearly 40 square meters, very large, you can see the sea lying on the bed, the beach is downstairs, very convenient. But the hotel bed is very hard Watch the sunrise: Qing'ao Bay, Tropic of Cancer Square Beach Rent electric cars and buy slippers: Xiao Zhang's electric car rental, 80 Two pairs of slippers are 30, and one pair is 30 when asked downstairs at the hotel. The electric car is enough to go back and forth from the hotel to Qing'ao Bay x It is not recommended to check in at landmarks. Nan'ao Island in this season is very comfortable. It is recommended to rent an electric car to stop and go. You can stop and see when you see the beach you like

On the right is the sea, on the left is a large area of bougainvillea, leisurely and comfortable is my evaluation of Nan'ao Island. I stayed on Nan'ao Island for 6 days. I planned to stay for three nights before departure, but it was so comfortable that I extended it for 2 nights. ✨I went in early November, you can wear shorts and suspenders, but it is recommended to wear a long sleeve when riding a bike. ✨The temperature is not stuffy, very comfortable, wearing shorts is no problem, you can change into long pants when you go to the beach at night. ⏰Time planning Nan'ao Island can be finished in two days, if your time is limited, 2-3 days are also OK. Ps: If you want to find a small island to lie flat and experience slow life, here is really too suitable, cost-effective!! · 🚗Transportation 1⃣Bus: Route 161 (15 yuan), you can rent an electric bike to go around the island for 60-100 yuan; 2⃣Rent a car: Rent a car from Shantou and drive around the island (highway fee 96) 3⃣Taxi: I don't recommend it personally, the taxi fare is higher, it depends on the individual. · 🏠Accommodation: It is recommended to stay near Houzhai Town, it is very convenient to eat, it is a more concentrated town, if you live far away, it is not convenient to eat; I stayed in a sea view homestay, the cream style is very suitable for young ladies to take pictures together and eat takeout 😂 · 📋Notes for renting a car to go around the island: ✅Start from the south line to go around the island, so you are riding along the seaside, you won't miss any scenery. ✅If you have enough time, you can go around the south line one day and the north line one day, I personally feel that the experience will be better. ✅There are many stalls for renting cars, you can compare and bargain more (I rented for two days, bargained to 50 a day, there is no problem with the battery around the island). · 💰About the cost This cost is only my cost in the off-season in November, there are basically no tourists in November. Accommodation: 500 (this is the price for 5 nights, picture 10 and picture 11 are photos of the homestay, there is a refrigerator and a balcony 😂 I didn't plan to post notes, so I didn't take pictures, the refrigerator is very nice in cream style) Rent a car: 100 Island bus: 30 (round trip)

1 For me, an inland person who last saw the sea in the sixth grade summer camp, this experience is undoubtedly very satisfying! The happiest thing is to ride a small electric donkey around the island, super relaxing and super decompressing, fewer people in the winter off-season, it is very convenient to stop and go to take pictures. 2 If you have high requirements for the color of the sea, it is recommended to come from May to October, during which the snorkeling project in the open sea will be opened, and you can see the jelly sea when the weather is good. The color of the sea is affected by the season and weather. I went in early December, sunny one day and cloudy the next. The sea taken by the mobile phone at close range is gray (the inner sea gray is also normal), there will be a bit of blue when the sun is out, occasionally it is green, the photos of the sea must be filtered, don't have illusions 3 For sunrise, stay in Qing'ao Bay, for sunset, stay in Houzhai (the sunset is the original picture), it is still very beautiful! Worth a look! If you live in Houzhai and get up early to see the sunrise in Qing'ao Bay, it will take about an hour to ride a small electric donkey. 4 Strongly recommend the hospitable beef hot pot in Houzhai Town! The boss ordered for us directly, will not add dishes randomly, several parts are very tender, very delicious, two people ate one hundred and forty yuan, three plates of meat and beef balls plus some vegetables. 5 The advantage of going in winter is that there are few people, and the large-capacity electric donkey rented, nearly 1/2 of the island has only dropped one grid of electricity (we rented one day eighty batteries so I think it is worth it), there are many ups and downs, many bends, if it is the peak season, it may not be so cool and safe to ride. 6 If you go in winter, you can bring both long-sleeved thin T down jackets, which do not conflict at all. It is very hot when the sun comes out, and it is very cold when the sun is gone and the sea breeze is blowing on the electric donkey, so put on the down jacket, I personally think that the electric donkey is cooler than self-driving! (Avoid the peak summer, it may be very hot and very sunburned) 7 The hotel prices are cheap in the off-season, we stayed in the Houzhai Country Garden (about 1.5 kilometers from the small beach of Qianjiang Bay to watch the sunset, 6 minutes by electric donkey), the weekday sunset sea view double bed is two hundred and eighty-eight yuan, the weekend is three hundred and eighty-eight yuan, I think the hygiene is very OK, the room soft decoration is also good looking! Avoid the Qianjiang Bay's Mianyang Si Hai Holiday Apartment, we switched to this one for the sake of being close to the beach, but the bed sheet has holes and blood stains.

Nan'ao Island is really good for taking pictures It's winter, it's time to go to some warm islands to renew the summer. Take bus 161k directly from Shantou Railway Station (one bus per hour, grasp the time, we didn't plan well, the time we arrived just left, didn't want to waste time and took a carpool, 30 per person, 50 bargained down, haha really smart) ". Nan'ao Island is quite big and there are many scenic spots. Sisters who are not self-driving are recommended to rent a small electric car. We rented 50 a day and a deposit of 50. The cost performance is super high and the power is very durable. After a whole day of speeding, only two grids are used. In terms of route, you can follow the navigation around the sea. The more popular lighthouse, bridge, square, lonely tree, and Tropic of Cancer are all on the way. Because my sisters and I are senior islanders, we didn't take the usual route and took the mountain road in the middle. The view of the sea from the top of the mountain is also unique. We encountered a super photogenic mountain road in the middle. The leaves are dense and the sun is shining. It's great to take pictures. Sisters who have visited the island can hide it. Pay attention Pay attention to the sunset time. It's best not to be in the mountains when it's dark. The mountain road is quite dangerous when it's dark, and it's best to get to the beach before sunset. The sunset on Nan'ao Island is really beautiful. It's the kind of beauty that you won't get tired of watching a few times. About the weather, the perceived temperature is warm, you can wear summer skirts, but when the sea breeze blows over, under the shade of trees and when riding a bike, it's very cold. It is generally recommended to wear early spring and autumn clothes, or summer clothes with a large coat
