Nanao Island: 2 days and 2 nights incomplete guide, enjoy traveling on niche routes

Come, sit, and enjoy your tea.

The hottest news recently is probably that Han Han's new film, "Four Seas", will be released on New Year's Day.

Han Han has always been very discerning about the location of his films. Just like a few years ago, the movie "We Will See You Again" made Dongji Island famous. And this time, it is more familiar to everyone in Chaoshanjiao

Nan'ao Island

The only island county in Guangdong.

Take advantage of May Day to make arrangements before the island catches fire.

There are a lot of guides online now, but we chose a less popular route. It is estimated that many people have not arranged this way.

1

Convenient and enjoyable transportation options

It is recommended to drive by yourself. The scenic spots on Nan'ao Island are scattered and the closest distance takes 3-10 minutes by car, so self-driving is the best option. The best way to play is that there are electric cars for rent on the island, but there are a lot of uphill and downhill slopes, and the slope is not low. There are many cars and horses, and the safety is a little lacking.

If you want to enter the island, it is recommended to enter the island from the east coast of Shantou, that is, get off at the Shantou Station of Shenhai Expressway, and then navigate to the east coast. Do not navigate directly to Nan'ao Island. In that case, the navigation will take you from Chenghai, Laiwu to Nan'ao. Bridge.

The east coast is also very beautiful, and there are no bends and fewer traffic lights along the way. The main venue of this year's Asian Youth Games is here, you can go and have a look.

However, although the East Coast Expressway is spacious, the speed limit is 60, so be careful, otherwise you will be in a bad mood if you get a ticket.

East Coast Boulevard is also one of the recently popular check-in spots for Internet celebrities, especially in the early morning and dusk. Friends who go to Shantou can consider going there to take pictures.

At the end of the East Coast Boulevard is the Nan'ao Bridge. There are signs all the way, so you can follow the navigation and you will not go astray.

Nan'ao Bridge is the longest cross-sea bridge in Guangdong Province, with a total length of 11.08km. A 20-minute drive can instantly change your perception.

The toll of the Nan'ao Bridge is 96 yuan, and ETC can be used.

One thing you must do after entering the island is to take a self-driving tour around the island.

You can take the trouble to walk several times along the Ring Road alone. It feels completely different in the morning and evening. Although the sea surface is not clearly visible at night, there are different lights along the coast, and the entire night view is super comfortable.

No wonder it is known as "the most beautiful sea-ring highway in eastern Guangdong". Half of it is mountains and half of it is sea. Traveling through it will make you forget all your worries.

A place to stay away from crowds

Regarding accommodation, it is recommended not to choose one in the county town, that is, Houzhai Town, during holidays. Convenient, but the staff is noisy and the feeling when you come out is not good. After all, vacation is about being clean.

Don’t choose Qing’ao either. Qing’ao is mainly located around the Tropic of Cancer and the Gate of Nature. There are so many people there that it’s like cooking dumplings during the Lantern Festival.

You can consider Yun'ao, Budao or Shen'ao. Not to mention there are half fewer people, the scenery is not bad, there are many internet celebrity check-in spots, and you can also arrange your time reasonably to be one step ahead of others.

In order to avoid congestion, our itinerary is scheduled from April 30th to May 2nd.

It was very comfortable to go to the island on April 30. There were almost no cars and it was a smooth journey.

We chose Hoi Chuen Bay in Budai O as the place to stay. Firstly, we chose this place because of its affordable price, secondly, convenient transportation, and thirdly, it is surrounded by scenic spots.

You may not believe how cheap it is. The total cost for 2 nights is 896 yuan.

The night of the 30th is 298 yuan, the night of May 1st is 598 yuan, two bedrooms and one living room, the area is not small, you can watch the video to get a rough feel.

For sea view rooms, you can see the sea from the room. Different buildings have different orientations. If you want to stay in buildings 1-3, try to choose rooms 1-2, facing east. Buildings 6-9 have better views. , but there is still construction next to it, which will affect sleep. However, the breakfast here is not delicious, it is recommended to eat out.

You can see the Sanzhiya Lighthouse here. It only takes 2 minutes to walk there, which is very convenient.

Opposite the Sanqianya Lighthouse is the Qing'ao Wind Farm, which has a very high filming rate. We first go to Chuzipeng and then navigate to the No. 42 wind farm, which has the largest platform and the best photo location.

The other side of the room is also great. It is also a pleasure to sit on the sofa, drink tea and watch the sea, or lie in bed, listen to music and watch the sea.

Downstairs is a seawater swimming pool and a heated swimming pool. They are all built downstairs. There is also a private beach, which is good, but other projects have not been completed, which is a pity.

Of course, there are many stylish B&Bs nearby, so try them again if you have the chance.

Niche route arrangement

First night: Nan'ao Bridge - Ring Island Highway - Qihang Square - Haiquan Bay< /p>

The second day: Sanqiaoya Lighthouse-Yun'ao-Huzhai-Back Garden-Zoumapu Village

The third day: Qing'ao-Zhuqiduwan-Egret Ecological Park- Nan'ao Island National Forest Park

It should be noted here that because the Huanhai Road is narrow, it is basically two lanes, so U-turns are not allowed on most sections of the road.

There are many curves and uphills and downhills, but the local area has thoughtfully set up a viewing platform for parking, which is especially convenient for electric vehicles and motorcycles.

When the weather is nice, you can take pictures anywhere and you will be able to take pictures of the scenery that will blow up your circle of friends.

There are many lighthouses on Nan'ao Island, the famous ones include Changshanwei Lighthouse, Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse, Yunan Port Lighthouse, Shangtianan Lighthouse and Sanqiaoya Lighthouse.

Among them, Changshanwei Lighthouse and Sanchiangya Lighthouse should be the places with the most films.

Unfortunately, the fog on the day of the photo shoot was too heavy and there was no sunshine, so the photos were not particularly stunning.

This is the largest pink lighthouse on the island and is absolutely stunning on a sunny day.

Sanqianya Lighthouse is one of the best places to watch the sunrise. It is recommended to get up at 5:30 in the morning. If there is cold air, at sunrise, the sea water will heat up and the fog will cover the entire place within 10 minutes. A lighthouse.

The beach on Yun'ao side is relatively flat, with fewer rocks, a vast sea surface, and convenient parking. There are pavilions and pavilions for tourists to rest on, and the service facilities are complete. The most important thing is that there are not many people.

Go there in the morning. It won’t be too hot at the beach and you basically don’t need sun protection. The cool sea breeze and fine sand allow you to let yourself go as much as you want.

Museums worth visiting

What I want to focus on here is the Nan'ao County Museum, which should be said to be quite small. There are few tourists, but it is one of the must-visit places.

To understand a place, in addition to the beautiful scenery, the local customs and customs, the most important thing is the history.

More importantly, the fourth floor of the Nan'ao County Museum is the "Nanao No. 1" exhibition hall.

Nan'ao No. 1 Ming Dynasty shipwreck is located in the semitidal reef waters between Wuyu and Guanyu in the southeast of Nan'ao County. It is commonly known as "Three Points of Gold" and is about 2 nautical miles away from Yunan Island Town.

On May 25, 2007, it was accidentally discovered by fishermen in South Australia during diving fishing operations. In September 2009, its underwater archaeological rescue and excavation project was officially launched. By September 2012, the third round of salvage was completed, and nearly 30,000 cultural relics were recovered from the water.

The picture above shows an incense burner from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The actual object is quite beautiful, and you can also see the ingenuity and ingenuity of the ancients.

According to the appraisal by the Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relics Appraisal Station, these cultural relics are mainly porcelain exported during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Basically, it is porcelain produced by Jingdezhen Guanyinge Kiln and Zhangzhou Pinghe Kiln.

Nan'ao belonged to Chaozhou Prefecture in ancient times. It was an important window to the outside world and a landmark for navigation and trade.

There is a map of Chaozhou Prefecture in the museum, which allows us to understand our past more clearly.

Navigation charts from the Qin and Han Dynasties can allow us to understand the paths our ancestors used to explore the world.

The world’s early records of South Australia, from coordinates to place names, reveal a dusty history and give us a more concrete experience.

There are many kinds of blue and white porcelain such as large blue and white porcelain plates, bowls, pots, plates, basins, alms bowls, cups, etc. with patterns of figures, flowers and animals.

"Nana'ao No. 1" Water Cultural Relics Exhibition*** displays 1,200 pieces (sets) of various cultural relics, with lifelike models, ever-changing lights, sound and pictures, and vivid and detailed literal introductions in the exhibition hall. It has deepened our understanding of the "Maritime Silk Road".

The 2nd and 3rd floors of the museum are exhibitions of the history of coastal defense in Nan'ao. In fact, the entire history of Nan'ao Island is displayed inside, from ancient times to modern times, with a clear context and layer-by-layer iterations.

Nan'ao is located on the sea where the three provinces of Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan meet. It is known as the "throat of Fujian and Guangdong and the barrier between Chaoshan and Shantou".

Here records the blood and sweat of Lu Xiufu, Qi Jiguang, Zheng Chenggong, and Liu Yongfu in resisting invasion and insult, and defending the country. It also records the glorious history of coastal defense such as Yu Dayou's suppression of bandits, Zheng Zhilong's resistance to the Dutch, and Lin Zexu's ban on opium.

The Battle of Nan'ao Island was the first victory for our army in a sea-crossing landing operation, and it accumulated experience for the future exploration of liberating other islands.

You can use navigation to locate it. The location is easy to find. It is on Zhongxing Road in the county. The opening hours are 8:30-11:30 in the morning. No tickets are required.

The vast back garden village

This road from Taiwan Street to Tsou Ma Po Village The mountain road is a must-take route on Nan'ao Island. Don't miss it. It is recommended to go early in the morning or in the evening. It is very comfortable. The trees on both sides are shady, and they are the kind of big trees that make you feel like you are in a movie blockbuster, especially from Houyuan Garden Village to Zoumapu Village. this paragraph.

However, you are not allowed to get out of the car and take pictures. The mountain road has a steep slope and parking is prohibited on the entire road. It is best to take pictures from the passenger seat, preferably with a sunroof. It is not recommended for electric vehicles to go up this section, it is too dangerous.

Enter Houyuan Garden Village in the middle section of this line. It takes another 10 minutes to drive to the village entrance. There are landscape platforms along the way where you can come down and take photos.

The back garden village is very comfortable and self-contained. There are windmills, air-raid shelters, waterfalls, ancient villages, and observation decks. It is worth visiting slowly, but it is recommended not to go on holidays.

If you go up there, you can drive in for 10 yuan each. There are two parking lots inside, which are not big, and you still have to walk some distance from most attractions.

You can also take a battery car at the entrance of the village. It costs 10 yuan per person to reach the top "Broad Sea and Sky" observation deck at the village entrance, and 5 yuan per person to visit the scenic spots along the way.

The entrance fee is 10 yuan per person. If you walk, you can reach the parking lot inside about 1 kilometer away.

It was foggy when we went, so it was a pity that we were not able to see the magnificent scene. You can drink tea on the platform for 50 yuan a set, and there are local people selling food on it.

There are two telescopes on the observation deck. When the weather is good, you can see far away. You can use it by scanning the payment QR code.

The air-raid shelter is very long. It is said that it takes at least 45 minutes to walk there. There are too many people and it is not too deep. It is very cool inside and the lights are bright. Don’t worry. The only thing to note is that the air-raid shelter has a low floor height. If you are 1.8 meters tall, your head will be bent, and if you bend down to walk the entire distance, it will become basically useless.

Super stunning sunset on the sea

You must watch the sunset once when you go to Nan'ao. The best place is in Zoumapu Village, with the colorful breeding nets on the sea. The boxes are intertwined, and they are quite beautiful against the backdrop of the red clouds.

For sunrise, you can choose Sanchiang Cliff or Qing'ao Bay. A whole bright yellow sun rising from the sea level will make people instantly feel that "the world is worth it".

Everything is so dreamy, like a paradise.

An unforgettable appetite

Everywhere you go, food is always indispensable, but as a popular tourist attraction, It is inevitable that there will be some dissatisfaction, especially during holidays.

Being busy and chaotic can sometimes become an unspeakable pain, so choosing a non-holiday trip is the right move.

Generally, we rarely follow trends and gather at Internet celebrity check-in spots, such as catering. We consulted the staff of the museum and they introduced us to a food stall. The overall feeling was great and the price was great. Fair, good product.

The proprietress is very enthusiastic. In addition to introducing the varieties and methods in detail, she will also kindly remind you about the quantity and combination of orders.

There are all kinds of seafood, very complete, all freshly purchased on the same day.

Delicious food is king

After eating a lot, it will be different. Posted here, click on the picture to see the details.

In addition to seafood, remember to order a bitter melon stew. Nan'ao Island's bitter melon is very famous and delicious.

This store is next to the museum and next to the church at the intersection of Huandao. It is not difficult to find. There are many people eating there. This is the most popular food stall along the street. It is said that locals often go there.

Juice Ice is not far from Awei Seafood Restaurant, a 2-minute walk, which is very convenient.

This store is very popular, there are many people queuing up, and it easily sells hundreds of cups.

The boss is very handsome, isn’t he?

It is said to be the most delicious fruit juice on the island. The 128 olive juice has to be ordered 2-3 hours in advance, and it cannot even be made on the first day of the festival. It can only be made on the second day.

It usually only opens at 12 noon, so there is no point in going earlier.

The correct way to open it is to go to the store to place an order at 12 noon, then go out to eat, and come back to pick it up after dinner. It’s just right.

If you just make it, it will be too cold and not suitable for drinking. It will not taste good if it is cooked for more than 2-3 hours, so you know.

The boss is very busy, but his service attitude is good. He will answer all questions enthusiastically.

I ordered a cup of bitter melon and tangerine for 28 yuan. The taste was okay, but the waiting time was twice as long as other drinks. If you don’t have time to wait, be careful.

Just 3-5 minutes walk up is their dessert shop, Gitzo Milk Dessert Family.

Although Dianping ranks second, Feng Ping says this one is better, especially for buffalo milk. There are many unique items. Next door is Ranji, which ranks first. I took a look at Ranji. The single product is mainly Chaoshan specialty sugar water, which is probably more attractive to friends outside Chaoshan.

What is surprising is that it is said that there are many tourists from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, especially those from Shanghai, and there are many young ladies checking in.

Four colors of milk tiles, original, milk, matcha, and chocolate. They are good-looking and taste good. I like matcha, slightly bitter, but others feel too sweet.

The signature tofu is very nice, one bite, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with all the spicy, sour and salty flavors.

Ginger mixed with milk, rich flavor, thick skin and fragrant, great.

The double-skinned milk has a mellow and silky fragrance. It is the store’s Pandora’s box. Different combinations provide different enjoyment.

Scan the code directly at the table to order. If you don’t know what to order, look at the next table before making a decision. They are all here to have fun. Everyone responds enthusiastically. It is easy to get to know each other over time. Maybe You will make many friends over this.

Houzhai is the most prosperous place in South Australia, and the stores we went to are basically in this business district. Just these two main roads can make you unable to walk even if you hold on to the wall. It's a gourmet's paradise.

Especially for some unknown small shops, you need to look for them carefully, because most people don’t know about them.

For example, this cake shop is run by an old man and made by himself. It is full of Chaoshan characteristics, including mung beans, red beans (Usha), sesame and three-pin fillings.

The old man is very enthusiastic and cheerful, which is unique to islanders.

He said that many people come here to buy and send them to Guangzhou, which should be referring to local people.

A piece of three pieces is 6 yuan, a piece of single filling is 3 yuan, and a pack is 2 yuan.

The address is inside the market, so it is difficult to find. You can navigate to the Wallace South Australia store and go to the end of the alley on the right to see it.

Note that it is not Longao Street, but the alley next to Wallace. It should be possible to locate Longao Central Market.

Abo was taking a lunch break when we went there and was sleeping soundly.

Behind the store is the vegetable market, which has all kinds of dry goods, fish, fresh beef, etc. If you are interested, you can go shopping. It is not very big, but it has a smoky atmosphere.

South Australia is a place worth checking in again and again.

You will have different feelings every time you go there.

Whether you live by the sea or in the mountains, the rewards are different.

The most important thing is that every season has its own scenery.

In this city of mountains and sea,

Any place is suitable for a stay.

Surrounded by mountains and sea,

is its essence.

Travel should not have any purpose.

Travel is when you use your life to verify the world you know.

If you like it,

Please comment and like for encouragement.

See you next time.
