Raoping Huanggang Xunzhou Island, the air is fresh and good for retirement. The rocks are strange, the forests are lush, and the egrets are noisy; floating wooden houses lean on the water. Xunzhou Island is located in Raoping County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. In ancient times, it was a floodplain in Raoping, hence the name Xunzhou. Since most of the island's residents are engaged in fishing, it was later renamed Xunzhou Island. The island has bays and beaches with a gentle slope and clean sand, making it a very nice seaside bathing beach. The island is home to a variety of birds, with the egret being one of the more famous ones. After reaching the Xunzhou Island pier, you can take a fisherman's boat (5 yuan) to the island. The island has landmark buildings such as 'The Voyage of the Teochew People', as well as the Guanhai Bido. The fish rafts on Xunzhou Island form a patch, and the wooden houses form a village. The fishermen live in floating wooden houses on the sea, creating a stunningly beautiful landscape. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some tranquility and ease, then consider coming to Xunzhou Island to experience the charm of a fishing village life. Location: Navigate to Raoping Xunzhou Island Note: 1. There is a parking spot at Xunzhou Island pier (10 yuan). 2. Put on a life jacket before boarding the boat. 3. Be careful with your phone when taking photos on the boat. 4. Take precautions against mosquitoes and sunburn when outdoors. 5. Do not litter; take your trash with you and leave the place 'as clean as when you arrived'

Letting the horse run free in Chaoshan, Chaoshan includes the four prefecture-level cities of Chaozhou, Jieyang, Shantou, and Shanwei. Originally, they were all one entity. It is possible that the strong clan consciousness of the residents of Chaoshan and their fierce folk customs made them difficult to manage, so they were split into four prefecture-level cities. As a result, they each have their own sense of belonging. I think there is a bit of a divide and rule intention. Shantou is a typical example of being split from Chaozhou. Shantou is also the least noticeable of the special economic zones. Among the four original special economic zones, Shantou's biggest advantage was the large number of overseas Chinese living abroad. Remittances and overseas Chinese contributions should have been the most effective advantage. However, after decades, it turned out to be of no significant use. This may have something to do with the major fire at the Shantou Guest House in 2000. Since then, its economic development has declined, affecting the entire Chaoshan area, until the situation improved in the last decade. During the Spring Festival, there are a super number of people traveling to Chaoshan. Traveling in the south at this moment, if the weather is clear, is very comfortable. The sunny days warm the travelers, and there is no feeling of freezing hands and feet like in the north during travel. Public holiday travel means crowds everywhere, bustling and jostling. Coming to Chaoshan, almost all the well-known tourist spots are packed with people, and the navigation software is so congested it turns dark red. Not going would be regrettable, but going can be frustrating. After planning to visit each scenic spot briefly, I intended to go to Nan'ao Island for two days of leisure, to enjoy the sea breeze, smell the sea, and listen to the waves. However, it seems that everyone had the same idea, converging on the same destination. My WeChat friend, lawyer Huo Liang, said that it takes nearly six hours to drive the forty-minute journey from Shantou to Nan'ao Island. Some hotel booking platforms quote prices for accommodations ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan. Plans cannot change as quickly as this; one must quickly modify their itinerary. Opening the map, I chose the more secluded Xunzhou Island along the coast. Driving there, taking a fishing boat to the island, it feels like smuggling when the night is dark. Staying at a homestay run by island fishermen, the price is already multiple times the usual rate. From parking to dining and accommodation, everything is more expensive. Perhaps this is a more niche attraction, without the call of internet celebrities, the flow of people is rarely seen as elegant and quiet. At this time, relaxing the mind, savoring the rare slow life, leisurely recuperating is for a full revival after the holiday.
