Mayu is known as the "gateway to Shantou" and "the main point of coastal defense", and is one of the famous tourist spots in eastern Guangdong. In recent years, development has been performed on the island by virtue of its unique geographical advantage. Today, Mayu Island provides many "net celebrity" frequented spots and excellent photo spots. Last year, Mayu Island was rated as a famous village for  rural houses in Guangdong and a national 3A-level tourist attraction.

Based on the principle of respecting nature, our city will extend the coastal beach belt, build the inner bay sea swimming pool, restore the shoreline wetland and the island’s vegetation transformation, and synchronize supporting catering and other industrial chains through the creation of a unique island style, to build Mayu Island into a shining pearl in the inner bay integrating leisure, accommodation and tourism.
