    Mayu Island, located in Shantou, hides the secret of Guangdong East. The blue sea and blue sky are intertwined with the fishing village style. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the city to the Bay Bridge. General drivers will ask for an additional fee when entering the island, 10-15 yuan. Mayu Island must visit Mazu Temple to pray for blessings, stroll on the seaside plank road to watch the tide, pick up shells on the reef beach, taste the fresh sea fish porridge and wontons. You can swim in the sea in summer, ride around the island in spring and autumn, and enjoy the colorful graffiti village.
