|Day 1

1. Nan'ao Bridge

The Nan'ao Bridge is like a long queue spanning Laiwu, Chenghai and the western end of Nan'ao Island. On the vehicular bridge, Nan'ao Island is looming in the morning fog. The bridge is like stretching into a fairyland with no end in sight, giving it a dreamy and magical feeling.

2. Ring Island Highway

The Ring Island Highway is 68 kilometers long, and you can enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery along the way. As the car drove along the road, the sea surface, which used to be gray-blue under the sun, had turned blue, and the sea water had become much clearer and translucent.

3. Qihang Square Lighthouse

After getting off the bridge, turn right and you can see a red lighthouse in the distance. You can stop and watch it. The biggest highlight of Qihang Square is that you can enjoy the full view of the Nan'ao Bridge. Many people come here to take photos and take photos with the bridge. The red lighthouse built after the bridge was opened, with its dazzling color, stands beside the bridge, becoming the finishing touch of the blue sea and the majestic bridge, and also becoming an internet celebrity check-in point not to be missed. If you arrive here in the evening, you may also enjoy a perfect sunset.

4. Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse

Qian'ao Bay is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea with soft sand. Many tourists come here for vacation at Qian'ao Bay Resort, and Qian'ao Bay Lighthouse is nearby. This lighthouse is located on the sea. It has a white tower body and a green top. With the blue sky and sea behind it, it is beautiful and romantic. We can walk to the lighthouse through a long trestle. Many wedding photographers come here to take pictures. It is the best place for travel photography!

5. Yunan Fishing Town

6. Songjing Scenic Area

Songjing Scenic Area is located on the south beach of Aoqian Village, Yun'ao Town, very far from Yun'ao Fishing Port. Close, only five minutes drive. The scenic spot consists of the main landscapes such as Songjing, Jingting, and Prince Tower ruins. The sea view here is beautiful, and it is famous for the "Magic Song Well" beside the beach. The wonder of Songjing lies in the fact that for more than 700 years, the ancient well has been hidden and reappearing. Although it is only about 10 meters away from the surging sea, it has endless clear springs and sweet water that has been stored for a long time without deteriorating.

7. Sanchiangya Lighthouse

Sanchiangya Lighthouse is the largest lighthouse on the island, and it is also the internet celebrity attraction that attracts the most tourists. Here, you can listen to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, have a panoramic view of the sea, mountains and rocks, and see the sea surface above 180°, with a very wide view. This lighthouse lights up at night to guide fishing boats out to sea. If the weather is good, you may be lucky enough to see the sky full of stars.

8. Gate of Nature

When traveling to a city, you must check out the most representative and landmark buildings in the area. The landmark building of Nan'ao Island is undoubtedly the Gate of Nature. Located in Qing'ao Bay, it is the 11th Tropic of Cancer marker tower built in my country so far and the first island Tropic of Cancer marker tower built in the mainland. When the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, the sun's shadow will pass through the central tube of the upper sphere and be projected into the center of the platform, creating a natural wonder of "instant shadow".

9. Qing'ao Bay

This bay is located in the sea east of Qing'ao. To the west of the bay is a beach. The surface is composed of white sand, and the sand is white and soft. Qing'ao Bay Bathing Beach is known as the "Swimmer's Paradise" and "Oriental Hawaii" and is a provincial tourist resort. In 2011, it was rated as the most beautiful coastline in China, and in 2013, it was awarded the title of National Marine Park.

10. Treasure Island

Treasure Island is located on the northeast coast of Shen'ao, covering an area of ??about 1,500 square meters. It is connected to Nan'ao Island and is actually a peninsula. It becomes an independent island only at high tide. It is said that the pirate leader Wu Ping hid gold and silver treasures here when he was defeated.

11. Back Garden Rural Ecological Tourism Area

Located on the north side of Guolao Peak in the middle of Nan'ao Island, it has the only Chinese nanmu group and wild cypress trees in Guangdong Province. The "Song Tea" in Houhuayuan Village has a history of more than 700 years. It is said that when Emperor Song, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty in South Australia, passed through Houhuayuan Village, he made tea by finger-pouring it, and the varieties are passed down to this day. From the sea-wide-sky viewing platform in the back garden, you can overlook the entire Shen'ao Town and Shen'ao Bay.
