视频+图集丨酷玩汕头：一湾两岸，亦诗亦画

汕头是国内少有的市区拥有内海湾的城市，独特的地理环境造就汕头一湾两岸、南北相望的城市形态，旖旎的城市风光、传统与现代结合的人文风情，让这座城市魅力大增。

盛夏的傍晚，白天的酷热伴随着海风渐渐消逝。踏上汕头内海湾夜游轮渡，汽笛悠悠，海水轻摇，舒适的船身和多彩的沿岸夜景，令人心旷神怡。

从1976年正式开通的汕头广场——礐石航线在一湾海水中荡过四十余年，一声声划过天际的汽笛也早已成为镌刻在许多汕头人心中的城市记忆。历尽停渡、关闭航线的渡船，如今带着新的风采再次驶来。

近年来，汕头重新恢复过江轮渡，并开启夜游海湾项目，汽笛声声，再次成为汕头市民的记忆点、游客抵汕的“打卡地”。

在霓虹闪烁的游轮上，迎着清爽宜人的海风，夏日的暑意在游轮上一扫而光。俯瞰夜游轮渡，一湾两岸的美景被轮渡缓缓推展开，远处的礐石大桥如长虹跨过海面，近处汕头城区楼房鳞次栉比，对岸南滨新城如星光点点……一派繁华、生态，自然构成的和谐景象尽收眼底。

穿越海湾，抵达濠江沿岸，来到不远处的南滨公园。近年来，汕头持续推进打造高颜值“花园城市”，目前汕头城区绿化覆盖率为43.29%。

夏日夜里，漫步在南滨公园中，绿树成荫，串珠成链、连线成片与濠江南滨新城景观浑然一体，一张充满绿意的生态名片在海湾一侧熠熠生辉。
