Nan 'ao Island, a beautiful and only island county in Guangdong.

it belongs to Shantou city, Guangdong province, and is located at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces.

located at the center of the three major ports of Kaohsiung, Xiamen and Hong Kong, it is the closest island in Guangdong to Taiwan Province Province, and is known as the "Chaoshan barrier and the throat of Fujian and Guangdong".

Nan 'ao County, consisting of the main island Nan 'ao Island and 22 nearby islands, is known as the "Pearl of the East Guangdong Sea" and is the only national 4A-level tourist area among the island counties.

This island county is mainly engaged in marine fishing, mariculture and tourism. There are three towns on the island: Houzhai, Yun 'ao and Shen 'ao.

Houzhai Town is the seat of the county.

self-driving around the island

Nan 'ao Island is absolutely suitable for self-driving.

From Shantou city, you can see Nan 'ao Island along the spacious East Coast Avenue, which looks at the sea all the way.

it takes about 21 minutes to get to the island by driving on the beautiful Nan 'ao Bridge.

The highway around Nan 'ao Island is about 71 kilometers, and you can drive along the coastline around the island with refreshing sea breeze every day.

Many free parking lots have been built on the island, and many RV enthusiasts have parked their RVs at the seaside and settled down.

I enjoyed the boundless seascape of Nan 'ao Island every day, went to the fishing port to buy some seafood, cooked by myself, and lived a leisurely islander life.

Watch the sunrise and sunset

You can watch the sunrise in Qing 'ao Bay and Yun 'ao Port, where the sun rises and the morning glow fills the sky.

watch the sunset in qihang square, and the beautiful sunset is still beautiful.

The vegetation on the island is dense, and there are many tropical and subtropical plants. There is also a Huanghuashan National Forest Park, which gives you plenty of time to visit.

Yun 'ao Fishing Port

There are 66 high-quality harbors, large and small.

There is a national fishing port called Yun 'ao, which is quite large.

Every morning and evening, fishermen drive their fishing boats and return with full loads.

Yuewei likes to go to the fishing port to watch the fun. There are big fishing ports and many fishing boats, some moored on the shore and some shuttled by the sea.

fishermen have a great sense of accomplishment when they carry baskets of seafood ashore.

It's a pity that all the fish and shrimps caught now are quite small.

Rich seafood

Nan 'ao Island is located at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, with many islands, complex biological populations and abundant aquatic resources.

You can catch mackerel, pomfret, red snapper, grouper, sea shark, etc. There are also many squid and cuttlefish, and various lobsters.

The local specialties are the essence of South China Sea seafood, including scallops, house squid and laver, which are all very good.

Wind farm

On the hill of Nan 'ao Island, there are tall windmills, which keep turning, providing clean energy for the island.

This is the largest island wind farm in Asia. Snow-white windmills, blue sky and sea everywhere form a beautiful landscape of the island.

Lighthouses

There are many lighthouses by the sea, and there are more and more lighthouses in Nan 'ao Island.

when you drive to the island, you will first see a small and beautiful red lighthouse in the sailing square.

Many tourists play here and punch in.

In the middle of the island, on the slope of the seaside, there is also a huge three-chimney cliff lighthouse, which is also called the golden chair lighthouse because of its special shape.

It's quite eye-catching to look at the lighthouse while blowing the sea breeze at the seaside.

Beibiankeng Egret Ecological Park

is located in the east of Houzhai Town, with the lake of Beibiankeng Reservoir as the center, surrounded by mountains and waters, and the environment is elegant. It is one of the egret habitats in South Australia.

It is said that egrets gather all the year round, attracting many photographers.

Looking at the planning map is very beautiful,

The actual park is like this. It's a pity that I didn't see the scene of "The sunset clouds return to Qi Fei" that day.

Green Bay

is located at the easternmost tip of South Australia, with a length of 2.4 kilometers, like a crescent moon.

It is a beach with clear water and white sand, which is 151 meters offshore and the water depth is less than 1.2 meters. It is a high-quality natural bathing beach and is known as "Hawaii in the East".

The Youth Bay has successfully hosted large-scale maritime sports competitions such as the National Motorboat Superstar Competition and the National Surfing Championship.

Strolling along the promenade

Along the seashore, many Duan Haibin promenades have been built in Nan 'ao Island.

it's refreshing to stroll along the winding promenade and enjoy the infinite beauty of the seaside.

Gusongjing Scenic Area

Company commanders mansion

The small Treasure Island

Xiongzhenguan

is the only way and transit point for trade in the southeast coastal area, with a superior geographical position, which is the main channel of maritime trade and the "land of mutual exchange at sea".

The ancient shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty "Nan 'ao I" proves that Nan 'ao was once an important gateway to the Maritime Silk Road.

Zhannan Pavilion

It is just beside the coastal highway. The round pavilion is relatively new, but it is very beautiful with the surrounding mountain scenery and endless sea view.

Accommodation

The island is quite large. There are hotels and homestays in the county and the whole island, and there are some resorts by the sea.

it should be quite expensive in the peak season, and less tourists in the off-season, which is cheap and convenient.

Nan 'ao Island is also full of splendor at night.

catering

find a small restaurant to eat local seafood, which is comfortable and cozy.

The seafood on the island is fresh, but the price is not cheap.

you may have to go to the vegetable market yourself to know the real local price.

wherever she goes, Yuewei likes to visit the vegetable market and buy some local specialty products.

This time in Nan 'ao Island, I drove around every day, and I didn't have time to visit the vegetable market. It's a little pity.

it costs RMB 11~15 to eat a special naked strip for breakfast.

I ate the best oyster burger on the island.

The cost of living on the island is actually quite high.

The Gate of Nature

The Gate of Nature is located in the Tropic of Cancer Square in Qing 'ao Bay at the eastern end of Nan 'ao Island, which is the 11th Tropic of Cancer sign tower built in China.

This sign tower is the most magnificent building on the island and can be seen from a distance.

it adopts the Chinese character "door" for evolution modeling, which is very particular.

It is said that the radius of the sphere is 3.21m (corresponding to March 21th of the vernal equinox), the cantilever is 6.22m (corresponding to June 22nd of the summer solstice), the height from the base to the sphere is 12.22m (corresponding to February 22nd of the winter solstice), and the inclination angle of the doorpost just corresponds to 23.51 north latitude.

At noon every summer solstice, when the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, the sun shadow will pass through the circular tube in the center of the upper sphere and project to the center of the platform.

The Tropic of Cancer passes through most densely populated areas in China, and the south of the Tropic of Cancer is a place where the seasons are like spring.

Guangxi is the most widely distributed place, and Guangdong has the most signs.

The establishment of the Tropic of Cancer sign tower in Nan 'ao Island has added a new one to the Tropic of Cancer sign family, which makes people know more about the Tropic of Cancer.

The Tropic of Cancer runs through the whole of Nan 'ao Island, and the Gate of Nature is a new attraction in Nan 'ao Island, which is a unique scenery on the Tropic of Cancer.

Nan 'ao Island, the only island county in Guangdong, is a beautiful pearl on the sea, with a long winding coastline, blue sky, blue sea, romance and warmth.
