Scenic spot introduction:

Shantou's Nan'ao Island has been an essential berth and transit point for trade along my country's southeastern coastal areas since ancient times. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was known as the "Maritime Trade". Because Nan'ao Island is located in the tropics, more than 1,400 species of tropical and subtropical plants and a variety of wild animals grow on the island, and it is known as the "beautiful oasis on the sea."

Attractions distribution:

Nan'ao Island is the only island county in Guangdong Province. The island group includes 37 islands of various sizes, with a land area of 130.90 square kilometers (of which the main island has an area of 128.35 square kilometers). Since the Nan'ao Islands are located at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces, it is known as the "Chaoshan Barrier and the Throat of Fujian and Guangdong."
