Nan'ao Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The treasure island that has driven friends crazy with questions! It's not overseas, but Nan'ao Island in Guangdong!
The azure sea, lighthouses, dolphins, forests, and the island's ring road here perfectly assemble all the elements I love. It's simply the dream island of my heart!
I mean, you've got to take some time to stay on this enchantingly beautiful island for a few days, I guarantee it will lift your spirits.
📍Location: Nan'ao Island, Shantou, Guangdong
✈️Transportation: You can fly directly to Jieyang Airport, and then easily reach the island by self-driving or taking a taxi. Self-driving around the island for photos is even more comfortable!
🏨Accommodation: There are many accommodations on the island, and if you avoid holidays, the value for money is super high.
📷Sharing a few super photogenic spots on Nan'ao Island
1⃣️The first picture, the road leading to the azure sea, navigate to the entrance of Tianyu Mountain Villa, it's even more beautiful in the morning!
2⃣️A road leading to the sea discovered while self-driving around the island, navigate to Cape Beach Camp where there's also a swing facing the sea.
3⃣️The Tropic of Cancer, Nan'ao Bay Forest Park, you can drive in early in the morning, but electric vehicles are not allowed.
4⃣️Another road leading to the seaside, also a place to watch the sunrise, you can navigate to the Ibis Hotel, this road is on the way to the hotel.
5⃣️The wild hill behind the Ibis Hotel, completely uninhabited, overlooking the coastline, also an excellent spot to watch the sunrise. It requires climbing and hiking, suitable for those with outdoor experience.
6⃣️Nan'ao Bridge, the sea bridge you must cross when entering or leaving the island, next to the Changshanwei Lighthouse, you can check in both places.
7⃣️Sanchuan Cliff Lighthouse, the red and white lighthouse on the seaside cliff, looks great when shot with a telephoto lens.
8⃣️Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse, rocks, sea, beach, the only lighthouse where you can walk down to the beach for a photo.
9⃣️The lonely tree, navigate to Yuman Cang. Go fishing, and you'll find this tree. It's said that a viewing platform has been built now.
If you have the chance, you must self-drive around the island. The scenery along the way is really amazing. When I went there in the summer, I was even lucky enough to see a group of dolphins🐬!

I really don't regret going to Nan'ao Island this season!
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
Trust me, traveling to Nan'ao Island is so wonderful, quickly save this practical guide
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)

DAOLIU Wabi-sabi aesthetic home stay facility Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A homestay in South Australia turned me into the boss's favorite
The company is going to South Australia for team building! The boss asked me to choose a homestay, and after a lot of research, I settled on this one on South Australia Island, which is only a 10-minute drive from Qing'ao Bay🏠
I must say, I really have an eye for this✨
As soon as my colleagues arrived at the homestay, they were all amazed‼️
🏞️The green water, green mountains, blue sky, and white houses are all so beautiful
There's a big lawn where you can camp⛺️ and have a barbecue🍖
There's also a swimming pool🏊, I regret not bringing a swimsuit👙, can only take pictures like this
🪵The rooms are all log style, very upscale and comfortable
And the soundproofing is great, you can sleep until dawn with your head on the pillow!
I've never felt so reluctant to leave after a team building event😭
Next time I'll bring my own friends here‼️
Nan'ao Island is a place you never tire of, with its beaches and sea, you just want to stay forever
The homestays on Nan'ao Island are all beautiful, and the one we stayed in this time with the kids was absolutely amazing! Close to the mountains and water, embracing nature, the main theme is a simple and atmospheric white. Upon arrival, we found it to be even more surprising than expected, with a wabi-sabi style design that's super photogenic!
The location of this homestay is right at the foot of the mountain, not too far from the sea, and just through a small alley is Egret Bay. Staying here, you look out to a fresh expanse of greenery, with a green lawn in front of the door that stretches all the way to the foot of the mountain, connecting with the mountain itself. There's a blue swimming pool reflecting the sky, and a few steps of stone-paved paths leading to the homestay's lobby. Under the eaves, wooden floors are laid with casual soft recliners, where you can sip on tea and have a leisurely chat amidst this tranquil beauty, enjoying the peacefulness of time.
The guest room layout is simple and generous. The room we chose has a large terrace facing the mountain, and there's also a huge bathtub for soaking, with bath bags provided by the homestay. In the morning, go out to the balcony to breathe in the fresh air of the green woods, and feel the charm of nature in this Zen-like atmosphere.

The delicious breakfast and service at the homestay also add points. The owner will turn on the air conditioning for us in advance, help with luggage and so on, which is very enthusiastic. They also brought over a fresh fruit platter, just ask who wouldn't like such a warm welcome.
Nan'ao Island | Finally found a B&B on Nan'ao Island that I really like
It's rare to come out and relax with sisters 😭 Finding a B&B was really a headache...
I heard from a friend that a new mountain view B&B has recently opened in Nan'ao, and it seemed pretty good, so we booked this one on the spot~~
How should I put it... The experience was really much better than I expected!!
I probably prefer this kind of retreat from the mundane world, a paradise on earth feeling~~
Spent a very memorable weekend here~~
I have to say... this place is simply a great spot for us office workers to relax and unwind ✌️
What surprised me the most was... in addition to accommodation, they also have a hot pot restaurant, swimming pool, and other facilities... really everything you need ✔️✔️
This is just too convenient for us lazy people, right? 😭
The summer nights are really cool 🍂
Spent a very beautiful barbecue night on the lawn with friends ✌️
Chatted all night long ✔️ Partied until we couldn't anymore ✔️
Who can understand this kind of joy~~
🅿️ And!!! It's only a ten-minute drive from here to Qing'ao, which is so convenient!!
🏠 Island Stay·Bieyuan (San'ao Egret Bay Store)
This is not overseas!!! It's in South Australia!!
👭Last week, a friend came to visit South Australia and booked this B&B.
They invited me, a local indigenous person, to join in the fun.
Only then did I realize that I didn't know such a beautiful place existed!!
The B&B has five or six rooms of various sizes, including a separate duplex with a strong design sense, 🌿complemented by a large lawn, really giving off a paradise vibe‼️
The rooms are clean and tidy, 🪟open the window and you can see the blue sky and green fields, and at night you can enjoy the starry sky, it's so comfortable～🥰The common area downstairs also allows you to cook for yourself, nice!
✌️The huge lawn area is perfect for picnics, barbecues, etc., with a great atmosphere. It's a peaceful place to chat with friends, 😌quiet and undisturbed.
The location is moderate, not too far from various attractions.
My friend said that they would like to gather here again when they come to South Australia in the future, they really love it so much😭

Shantou Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Real and ungentrified
Shantou is a port side city in the province of Guangdong. Being one of the many treaty ports opened during the Qing dynasty, it was a center of international trading. As such, the area now houses signs of this historic presence.
The historic part of Shantou is not as touristy as one might expect; many of the historic buildings in the center are lightly restored, but nothing is really remade to look fake and overly gentrified. In fact, many of them lie abandoned and in ruins. For me, I find this adds character to the overall area, as there's a sense of authenticity among these buildings that tell stories of their past. There's a small park in the area, which serves as the main focal point of the area.
You can't leave the Old town without venturing a bit further to sample the famous Shantou beef balls. Many of the restaurants make them on site and you'll see them beating the beef, resulting in a very chewy textured beef ball that you can't get enough of!
Overall, Shantou is a historic city with many buildings with character. You'll get lost wandering the old streets that are lined with buildings that have seen better days! Don't leave the city without grabbing a bowl (or two or three) of its famous beef balls!

Two consecutive days, Shantou Super Live is back!

Who doesn't know that Shantou has a music festival again! This time it's a two-day lineup, with Wang Leehom, Zhang Yuan, and Yan Renzhong all being your favorites! Don't hesitate to pack your bags and meet in Shantou! When you come to Shantou, besides the delicious food, these attractions are really worth checking out, and the old town of Nan'ao Island welcomes you~
1. Nan'ao Island
The landscape of Nan'ao Island is naturally beautiful. Due to less development, the environment is well protected, and many mountains, rocks, and vegetation still retain their original appearance. The beach scenery is also very beautiful, making it a niche spot for taking photos. In addition, there are some historical relics on the island that you can visit in your spare time.
2. Shantou Old Town
In the old town area on the north bank of the Rong River in Shantou City, from the Shantou Xidi Wharf to the Waimalu entrance, a 1-kilometer road is lined with a large number of buildings constructed in the early 20th century. This is Shantou Old Town. The 'arcades' on the side of the road for sheltering from the rain, the closely arranged shops, the slightly messy streets, and the simple decorative patterns near the doors and windows all reveal the unique historical charm of Shantou Old Town.
3. Que Shi Scenic Area
The Que Shi Scenic Area is located on the bank of the Rong River. The area is filled with peculiar peaks and rocks, accompanied by the charm of the sea view, forming a scenic spot where Shantou's natural scenery and cultural landscape complement each other. The scenic area is divided into six areas: Xiao Shi Scenic Area, Ta Mountain Scenic Area, Yan Peak Scenic Area, Xianglu Mountain Scenic Area, Bijia Mountain Scenic Area, and Su'an Scenic Area.
Shantou Old Town | Xiaogongyuan Landmark - Since you're here already
Recommended parking spot for self-driving tour🅿: Xiaogongyuan Xidi Parking Lot (710 meters from the landmark)

The other half of the day, drive 🚗 for 53 minutes to Nan'ao Island to watch the sunset, savor some seafood, and feel the sea breeze.
From the bustling streets to the tranquil sea, enjoy the dual experiences in one day.

Shantou Mayu Island | The road to the seaside is always gentle and romantic
Mayu Island Tourist Area Mayu Island, a fishing village island hidden in the bustling city, has two Tianhou Palaces built during the Yuan and Qing dynasties, hence the name Mayu. It is said that a long time ago, ships passing by here to go to sea had to release a live chicken at the Tianhou Palace, and for a while, the island became a kingdom of chickens, hence it was also called the Chicken Releasing Island
🚏Tour Route: Seaside landscape flower sea beach > Taozhu Pavilion > Seaside plank road > Enter the community hinterland along the ring island road > Ferry Culture Square > Ecological Park > Mazu Square > Tianhou Palace > Seaside road exotic architecture
Walking on the road, you can see fishermen drying various seafood at street corners everywhere, the air is filled with a faint scent, the walls of fishermen's residential buildings are covered with various interesting graffiti, and there is a glass house library. Here, nature, art, and culture blend together, offering a surprise at every step👀

Day two of Chaozhou travel, second stop – Mazu Island
There aren't many people on the island, and graffiti murals are everywhere. It's said to be a popular spot for social media check-ins, but what I prefer here is the Mazu Temple, which has exquisite stone carvings. They are beautiful and awe-inspiring! The presence of dragons and tigers is impressive, worth admiring. The carved beams and painted rafters, the flying eaves and the upturned arches, all contribute to a majestic atmosphere!
