Nan'ao Bridge & Changshanwei Lighthouse
南澳大桥
A sea bridge linking Chenghai and Nan'ao Island. The Changshanwei Lighthouse at the bridge's end, framed with the bridge, is the first photo stop on arriving at the island.
Nan'ao Bridge opened to traffic in 2015. It is about 11 km long and runs from Laiwu in Chenghai, Shantou, across the sea to Changshanwei on Nan'ao Island. It ended the era when the only way to reach Nan'ao was by ferry. At the Nan'ao end of the bridge stands the red-and-white Changshanwei Lighthouse. At low tide, you can walk out onto the rocks to photograph the lighthouse and the sea bridge together, and the view at sunset is especially photogenic. Do not stop on the bridge. For photos, use the viewing platform at the bridge end or the lighthouse parking lot. Driving across the bridge is free.
