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

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)

It was already my second trip to Nanao Island, an island 20km in front of the city of Shantou in Guangdong province. 🚕 Easiest way is to go there by car, bus or taxi from Shantou center.

Nan'Ao island is part of Shantou in East-Guangdong. It has beautiful clean beaches, seafood and nice homestays. I stayed there two days and one night and had a nice time. How to get there? Public Bus from Shantou 🚌, about 45 minutes. Car 🚗 or Taxi 🚕 is also possible. What to do? ⛱️ Beaches! I prefer the ones on the East side of the island. On the West side beaches, there are more seafood farms. ⛰️ Hiking in the forest, close to the coast ☕ In the small main city of the island, there are nice coffees and local restaurants with seafood and local veggies #beachlife #shantou #eastchina #nanao #island #guangdong

It takes about one and a half hours by car to reach Jieyang Airport and arrive at Nan'ao County from the airport. This is the only island county in Guangdong Province, China. I havent felt this kind of comfort for a long time. I havent enjoyed the time on the road for a long time. The sea breeze is not cool and not cold, the scenery is pleasant and unsatisfactory, and the leisure of the southern fishing island life is far away from strangeness and inexplicable intimacy. And the little hunter's little companion, spent a comfortable day before the sea fishing, when the evening sun went down, I saw two or three people walking on the beach, blending into the beauty of this painting.

A day spent on Nanao Island, this is the day before the sea fishing. Our lunch was chosen by a local acquaintance in a sea restaurant in Shenao, named Yifa Fishing Village. This restaurant is not particularly tall. On the island, but the location on the island is particularly good, the entire restaurant is vacated above the water on the shore, in the restaurant, it looks like the turquoise water surface, the water surface is very clear, really like those foreign pure pictures, comfortable mood In words, just pressing the shutter is a large landscape.

Nanao Island is shaped like a inverted hoist floating in the sea. Before the opening of the Nan'ao Bridge, it was an isolated island, said to be an island, but there is a county with an independent Shantou, called Nanao County, the only county in Shantou. The Nan'ao Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. It feels like it is not too thin. It not only greatly facilitates the entry and exit of the islanders, but also gives us the convenience of these foreign visitors to drive the island. Although there are round-the-island buses on the island, there are not many trains and the time interval is very long, so to be honest, this place is very inconvenient if it is not self-driving. If I say the impression of Nanao Island, it is generally a well-regulated island. Therefore, I hope that everyone will play with a feeling of being in a hurry. Don't imagine it is too good, then it is not too bad. In particular, the small holiday does not charge the bridge fee, and there are not many people on the island. When a place lacks a crowded scene, I feel a lot about it.
