Shantou is located on the coast of the South China Sea and has a beautiful natural environment. As early as the early 1930s, the following eight sceneries were designated: (1) Evening Pavilion in the Central Garden.

After the completion of Zhongshan Park, the scenery is beautiful, with sparse flowers and trees, and a wide lake with rippling blue waves.

In spring and summer, when the sun has set and the electric lights are on, there are many tourists boating there, singing softly in the wood, dancing in the willows in the wind, dispelling the heat and dust, and having fun.

(2) The incense burner smokes at dawn.

Xianglu Mountain is located in the southwest of Shishi in the southern suburbs of the city. It is the highest mountain in the city. At the top is a huge stone, dozens of feet in size. It is like bronze and is neither square nor round. It stands like a tripod with its feet and is shaped like an incense burner.

The clouds are about to disperse, and the smoke is lingering. It's like coming out of a furnace, with smoke rising and blue falling, and there are thousands of scenes.

(3) Green waves on Caoyu Island.

In the past, the mountains to the north and south of Shantou were full of strange rocks and rarely grew vegetation. On the southwest bank of the Dujiang River (Shihai), when the tide revealed the point where the navigation route was divided, a small islet stood three or four feet above the water. The grass was lush and unchanging after frost.

Hence the name "Caoyu", surrounded by green water waves and beautiful scenery.

(4) Raoshan Fairy Cave.

Located in Rao Mountain, south of Queshi Chengguang Middle School, the mountain is beautiful and full of strange rocks. There are huge boulders covering the cave, which is called a "natural cave". The cave is two feet deep and about ten feet wide. If you go inside in summer, the heat will not invade you, and it will be cool and refreshing.

.

The surrounding stone walls are engraved with the handwritings of famous people from ancient and modern times, making it a famous tourist area.

(5) Watching the tide at May Island.

Mayu (now known as Mayu) is located at the entrance of Shantou Port, holding the throat of Shantou's shipping. The situation is dangerous. There are forts and lighthouses built on the island. The scenery is very wonderful and shaped like a horse. The citizens call it "Ma Yu".

Outside the island, the sea is vast, the waves are rippling, and the clear water stretches to the sky. When you look eastward with your coat folded, your mind is suddenly opened up.

When it is windy and rainy, the roaring waves are extremely majestic.

A swimming pool is set up on the east side of the island, which benefits many tourists.

(6) Tuojiang sunbathing.

Shantou, formerly known as Tuopu, is rich in fish and shrimp. A hundred years ago, it was a place where fishermen gathered. At that time, it was a wilderness, and the bamboo fenced thatched houses and hanging nets were also very interesting.

Later, the sea was reclaimed and a port was established, turning it into a commercial port. Fishermen gradually moved to the outskirts of the city. At that time, the scenery of fishermen was still seen in the area around Zhuchichi (in the east of today's urban area).

(7) Jigang Qianglin.

The fishermen work and rest according to the tide, often leaving early and returning late. Therefore, at the beginning of the morning, there may be a lingering light on the mountain, and there are thousands of fishing boats sailing at Fangji Harbor (referring to the inner harbor of Mayu) with hundreds of sails and masts.

Like a forest, it is a wonder.

(8) Qufeng pillar stone.

There are many strange rocks in the Queshi Mountains, majestic and beautiful, each with its own interest. At the top of the middle peak is a huge stone, which stands majestically, like a pillar supporting the sky, and its appearance is particularly majestic.
