Immediately planning a second visit! Completely captivated by Nan'ao Island's sea

The Tropic of Cancer runs through the island Lush green mountains⛰️, gradient blue sea🌊 Even the breeze carries romantic vibes🌬️ - 📌【Must-Visit Route】 The Tropic of Cancer crosses the island. Driving along the coastal road, you'll see lush green mountains⛰️ on the left and gradient blue sea🌊 on the right. First stop: head straight to the "Nan'ao" graffiti wall at sunset! The evening sun dyes the sea orange, and the romantic atmosphere in the air is simply intoxicating. Next, visit the Sanchongya Lighthouse - its white tower against the blue sea makes for perfect photos. Finally, head to the deserted beach and enjoy the tranquility of having the whole sea to yourself. - 🍤【Food Report】 Don't hesitate to try the seafood stalls near the pier! Freshly caught shrimp, crab, and shellfish - whether stir-fried with ginger and scallions or steamed - are incredibly delicious. Don't miss Nan'ao Island's signature seaweed fried rice, so tasty you'll clean your plate🍽️ For snacks, explore Houzhai Town. Try the grass jelly (similar to herbal jelly) with brown sugar - refreshing and perfect for balancing rich flavors, paired with a cup of local Phoenix Dancong tea for the ultimate experience! - 🏨【Accommodation Recommendation】 Stayed at Yishu Holiday Villa in Houzhai area - absolutely delightful✨ Floor-to-ceiling windows "frame" the sea right into your room. Wake up to sunrise over the water, fall asleep to the sound of waves in the evening, with beds so soft it's like sleeping on clouds☁️ When choosing accommodation, prioritize coastal locations - the experience of opening your window to the sea is simply unbeatable!
