3 Days 2 Nights Nanao Island Nanny-Level Guide: The Chaozhou-Shantou People's Island Utopia

Who doesn't know Nanao Island, Guangdong's hidden treasure island? As the province's only island county, it consists of Nanao Island plus 33 smaller islands. The mountain and sea scenery is breathtaking, and the Chaozhou-Shantou cuisine will have you eating until you can barely stand. You really have to come, or I'll insist you do! 💥

🌟 Must-Visit Highlights
▫️ Stunning Sea Views: You can't help but take photos while crossing the 11km Nanao Bridge; the car window is the perfect frame📸
▫️ Lighthouse Tour: Changshanwei red and white striped lighthouse × Qian'ao Bay mint green ice cream lighthouse, exclusive Nanao check-in spots!
▫️ Tropic of Cancer: The "Gate of Nature" landmark tower at Qing'ao Bay, perfect for capturing that "crossing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres" social media shot🌎
▫️ Fresh to the Max: Freshly caught seafood + Chaozhou-Shantou snacks, oyster omelet and seaweed fried rice are forever classics! Bring a 256GB stomach🦪
