- Nan'ao.Nan'ao Island Qing'ao Bay47.2 km from downtownHighlights: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.14 attraction
