Around the 30-sqkm Shantou Port, Shantou Bay tourist circle hosts Haiwan Bridge, Queshi Bridge, Haibin Road, Nanbin Road, Shipaotai Park (Stone Fort Park), Overseas Chinese Park, Mayu Isle, Renmin Square (People's Square) and a natatorium. Haiwan Bridge is 2,500 meters long and flies over Mayu Isle. It is China's first wide-span suspension bridge. Queshi Bridge is 2,940 meters long. Haiwan Bridge and Queshi Bridge are two rainbows over Shantou Bay. Haibin Road and Nanbin Road, one for urban style and one for natural scenery, exhibit a harmony between modern buildings and natural landscape. When night falls, lamps light up on the river banks. Shipaotai Park hosts a large Qing Dynasty fort and the Oversease Chinese Park depicts the life of contemporary overseas Chinese, both of which are rich in historic and cultural interest. Mayu Isle has a natural swimming beach, hotels and catering facilities as well as Tianhou Palaces from the Yuan and Qing Dynasties. It is a popular summer resort for local people. The People's Square with its large music fountain is the right place for people to get together and relax. The natatorium is a large public sports facility and the most modernized of its kind in Shantou. It was also a venue for the Ninth National Games.

环汕头湾旅游圈(汕头八景之“海湾虹影”)


  以面积30多平方公里的汕头港为中心,环绕二桥(海湾大桥和礐石大桥)、二路(海滨路和南滨路)、二园(石炮台公园和华侨公园)、一岛(妈屿岛)、一场(人民广场)和一馆(游泳跳水馆),形成环汕头湾旅游圈。海湾大桥跨越妈屿岛,全长2500米,为我国第一座大跨度悬索桥;礐石大桥全长2940米,与海湾大桥如两道彩虹连接汕头海湾。海滨路与南滨路,一是鳞次栉比的城市风貌,一是层绿叠翠的山峦,现代化建筑和天然景致遥相呼应,夜间还可观两岸华灯璀璨,遥相辉映的景象。石炮台公园与华侨公园是分别以清代大型炮台和当代侨乡潮人为主题的公共园苑,具有浓郁的历史人文特色。妈屿岛有天然浴场和食宿设施,还有元、清天后宫等人文景点,是市民消夏胜地。人民广场有大型音乐喷泉,是市民聚会、休憩的重要场所。游泳跳水馆是汕头最具现代化气息的大型公共体育设施,也是九运会的比赛场馆。
