Shantou, Port city in eastern Guangdong, China.
Shantou spans across 2,198 square kilometers with seven administrative districts surrounding the Han River delta near the South China Sea.
The city transformed from a small fishing village during the Song Dynasty into a major international port following the 1860 Treaty of Tientsin.
The local population communicates in Chaoshan Min language and maintains strong connections with overseas Chinese communities around the world.
The city connects to major destinations through Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport, two railway stations, and maritime routes to 210 global ports.
The Tropic of Cancer passes directly through Shantou, marked by a dedicated monument that indicates this geographical position.
