Things to do in Shantou

Highlights: what visitors book most, and when

Shantou’s top draws on Klook are city and regional tours, followed by wellness massages, with demand ebbing and flowing through the year. Tours dominate bookings and show the widest range of options, while massages remain a steady, lower-priced pick — both see higher demand in the peak months.

Best activities by traveller type

Families will find guided tours the easiest way to see local sights together, with options that suit different ages and budgets. Couples often choose massages and relaxing wellness treats as a quieter shared experience. Solo travellers and small groups can pick from the same tours for flexible day plans or opt for a quick massage between stops.

What travellers from Singapore usually book ahead

Most travellers from Singapore keep plans flexible in Shantou — many activities can be picked up a day or two before travelling, though the most organised still book around 30 days out. Booking ahead matters most in the peak months, when popular tours fill up faster.

Comparing categories: price and who they suit

Massages are the easiest, most budget-friendly entry point for visitors, with a narrow price spread and straightforward bookings. Tours sit at the higher end and offer the widest spread of prices and styles, from basic group outings to more tailored experiences, making them the best fit for travellers who want variety or are planning special itineraries. Together, the two categories cover both quick, low-key options and fuller sightseeing choices.
