Summer Travel Guide to Nan'ao Island! Super popular

Located in the island county of Guangdong Province, situated on the eastern Guangdong sea, with a coastline of 77 kilometers, it is known as the 'Island of Wind'. Here you can find a beautiful island ring road, lovely seaside bathing beaches, historical relics from the Southern Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, ancient temples hidden in deep mountains, fishing villages amidst green waves, authentic rural tourism, and the much-criticized expensive seafood. Recommended route: Nan'ao Bridge》Changwei Lighthouse》Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse>Sanjiao Cliff Lighthouse▶Windmill Field》Qing'ao Bay>Zhuqi Bay Jinyin Island>General's Mansion>Zoumapu Village>Nan'ao Bridge Nan'ao Bridge: A 10-kilometer sea-crossing bridge that is a must-pass to enter the island. The toll for driving onto the island is 96 yuan, free on holidays. Changwei Lighthouse: Right off the bridge, you'll see the red Changwei Lighthouse. The island's only large reef park, Tianzai Geological Park, is also here, which is the best spot to watch the sunset. Free~ Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse: With the sea as the background, the beige tower body and emerald green top, a fresh and artistic vibe. Sanjiao Cliff Lighthouse: Located with the windmill group, a photo checkpoint, the red and white lighthouse is particularly eye-catching~ Qing'ao Bay: The core scenic area of Nan'ao, with clear water and fine sand, a place for sea viewing and water sports, surrounded by attractions such as the Tropic of Cancer Marker Tower Square and Lu Xiufu's Tomb. Qing'ao Zhuqi Bay: The beach is great for catching crabs and collecting shells. Jinyin Island: The place rumored to be where the pirate Wu Ping left his gold and silver, with beautiful surrounding aquaculture areas. Zoumapu Village: Thousands of acres of oyster fields/rainbow sea~ Houyuan Ecological Village: A place to see windmills up close~ Huanghua Mountain Dajianshan Forest Park: ¥20 ticket, the Tropic of Cancer checkpoint is 5 kilometers from the ticket office. The mountains are lush and surrounded by the sea, with beautiful sunset views, and there is a two-lane asphalt road leading directly to the top of the mountain. The final walk to the summit takes less than 20 minutes, making it an easy climb to the top~ General's Mansion: Located in Shen'ao Town, a historical exhibition hall of island coastal defense during the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are more than 30 temples on Nan'ao Island, among which the most famous are three: Nanshan Temple, Diéshíyan, and Pingshan Rock. Believers can visit, and of course, for purely scenic viewing, these temples also have a great atmosphere. The best season to visit Nan'ao Island is summer, as the sea is not blue enough in winter, and swimming is not possible. However, there are fewer tourists (do not go during the New Year! Super crowded!!), and the temperature is quite comfortable. If you're specifically coming to see the sea, make sure to choose a day with clear weather. Self-driving is the most comfortable option, but you can also take a bus to the island and rent an electric bike there. ¥20/hour. If you want to stay overnight on the island, it is recommended to stay in a hotel near Qing'ao Bay Zhu Huangjin Coast, where you can watch the sunrise over the sea from the balcony. There are many seafood feasts and rural restaurants on the island, and it is essential to ask for clear prices and quantities, so you know what to expect. In addition to enjoying the sea views, eating seafood, and soaking in the sea, there are many water entertainment activities. Among them, snorkeling on Dingpeng Island and Qinpeng Island in Nanpeng is particularly attractive. You can also choose to go fishing with fishermen, or ride on jet skis and speedboats to experience the thrill of speeding on the sea.
