The beach scenery is also beautiful, making it a lesser-known spot for photos. In addition, there are some historical sites on the island that you can visit in your spare time. In Huanghua Mountain National Forest Park, there is a high mountain; climbing to the summit allows you to view the boundless sea, and at the foot of the mountain there are several stone turtles, which are quite distinctive.

Qing'ao Bay is to Shantou what Yalong Bay National Resort is to Sanya. This bay on the eastern side of Nan'ao Island leaves a strong impression with its crystal-clear blue waters and fine sandy beaches. As one of the most beautiful bays on Nan'ao Island, it serves as a primary destination for many visitors. After arriving on the island by boat, you can take the island loop bus directly at the ferry terminal, which will take you to the attraction. The bay of the attraction faces southeast with a deep basin, spanning 2.9 km in arc length. Viewed from above, it resembles a crescent moon, with rows of casuarina trees stretching along the curved beach. The waves, white sand, forest belt, and newly built pavilions within the woods create a picturesque scene by the shore. The beach here has a gentle slope extending into the sea with shallow coastal waters, making it an ideal bathing beach perfect for swimming. This is also a great area to stay. Most travelers visiting the island choose either Hap Mun Bay or this area for check-in. If you want ocean views, this location is more suitable than Hap Mun Bay.

Sunset Sightseeing in Shantou

5.3

The sunset in Shantou is the most lingering and poetic chapter on the coast of the South China Sea. When the heat of the day gradually dissipates, the sky begins to brew a carnival of colors. The sea and the skyline in the distance interweave into a hazy curtain, waiting for the sunset to appear. As the dusk deepens, the setting sun slowly falls to the west, first gilding the clouds, then dyeing the entire sky into a honey-like orange, and then smudges out a rich crimson purple and deep rose red. The afterglow pours down on the sea, and the sparkling water seems to be covered with flowing broken gold, and the waves gently hit the shore with the glow of the sunset. The returning fishing boats shuttle on the golden waterway, their silhouettes are stretched out, and the sea breeze blows with salty and fireworks. In Shantou, sunset is not only the change of natural light and shadow, but also the gentle blending of the city and the mountains and the sea. Wherever the afterglow passes, there is an intoxicating human romance.

We didn't catch any squid, but the owner helped us by casting a net every half hour, bringing up quite a few. We had a barbecue on the boat, which was a nice way to relax and have some fun in the evening. Even though we didn't catch any fish, we still had a barbecue and seafood porridge dinner.

踏入青澳湾，仿佛闯入了一幅绝美的自然画卷。那片湛蓝的大海，清澈见底，阳光洒下，波光粼粼，似无数钻石在海面跳跃，海浪轻拍沙滩，奏响轻柔交响曲。 沿着沙滩漫步，细柔的沙子如棉花糖般，富含矿物质的沙质对身体有益，沙滩上贝壳遍布，小螃蟹横行，充满趣味。登高眺望，湾似新月静卧，风平浪静时，海面如镜，倒映天空山峦，构成如诗如画的美景。 青澳湾的海上项目令人兴奋不已。坐快艇飞驰海面，海风呼啸，浪花飞溅，刺激感十足；驾驶海上摩托艇穿梭，宛如海上骑士，自由畅快。 傍晚时分，夕阳西下，天空与大海被染成橙红色，坐在沙滩上看落日，内心满是宁静惬意。夜间的青澳湾也别具魅力，海边大排档的新鲜海鲜，令人垂涎三尺，美味在舌尖绽放。 此外，青澳湾还有着深厚的文化底蕴。北回归线标志塔“自然之门”，是独特的地标，见证太阳直射奇观，感受天文地理的神奇。周边的历史古迹，承载着岁月痕迹，让人了解当地的历史文化。

There aren't many attractions on Nan'ao Island besides the beach. I made a special trip to the General's Mansion, the only one of its kind on a Chinese island. It's incredibly small, though. You can see the contents of a few houses and finish in half an hour. I wouldn't recommend it if you're on a limited island trip. The scenery along the way is nice though.

The Tropic of Cancer Gate to Nature is a giant suspended sphere sculpture. Taking photos from below can help you avoid the crowds. The beach is also a great spot for taking pictures. The sand is very fine and clean, and you can also go jet skiing in the summer.

It's a very beautiful little park. After seeing the Song Well, lying on the big rocks by the sea and sunbathing was so relaxing. The park also has many impressive trees that grow around huge rocks. These parks still retain the feeling of the parks from my childhood, which is why I love Nan'ao Island.

The Nan'ao Bridge is the only bridge connecting Shantou to Nan'ao Island. It is approximately 11 kilometers long and is a beautiful structure, forming a landmark of Nan'ao Island together with the first lighthouse seen upon entering the island—the Changshanwei Lighthouse. The bridge operates on a one-way toll system: 96 yuan is charged for entering the island, while exiting the island is toll-free. During holidays and weekends, the large number of vehicles entering the island can cause some congestion.

The lighthouses on Nan'ao Island are quite special, with different shapes and colors, and are very recognizable. Changshanwei Lighthouse is one of them. When you get off the Nan'ao Bridge, you will reach the Sailing Square, where you can see the bright red "Changshanwei Lighthouse", with a black top and a red tower, which is very eye-catching. Changshanwei Lighthouse is also the lighthouse closest to the bridge. Standing on the shore next to the lighthouse, you can see the Nan'ao Bridge from a distance, and the scenery is beautiful.
