Nan’ao Island, which lies in Shantou City, is the only island county in Guangdong Province, and is valuated as “AAAA” Tour Island all over the country. Qing’ao Bay with a name of Eastern Hawaii and Huanghua Mountain National Forest Park, which is named of Natural Plant Park in Southern Chinese Sea, has the biggest power plant in Asia. Although Nan’ao Island has such excellent natural resources, the economic development in the county falls behind the average level in Shantou City.
SIFE team in Shantou University organizes an ecotourism program, analyzes carefully, and makes a whole plan: building a Nan’ao tour aid center, and supporting bike and motor car tenancy, guide, tour route, accommodation services and so on. The team also has a seminar with Nan’ao county government.
