Why visit

Travel Shantou with local experts

Shantou is the coastal city of the Chaoshan area. It opened as a treaty port in the 19th century, and the streets around Xiaogongyuan still have rows of arcaded shophouses; beef hotpot and rice cakes are local signatures.

Nan’ao Island belongs to Shantou and is linked by a sea bridge, with a lighthouse, beaches and seafood stalls.
