Travel Notes | Fifth stop—Xiamen (0.5 days)

I set out for the pier at eight o'clock in the morning. I planned to visit two scenic spots in the morning and two scenic spots in the afternoon. Perfect!

I stayed in a hotel near Vientiane City and took a bus for more than half an hour to get there. Because I booked the ticket on Meituan, the merchant would book a time with me in advance so that he could go to Wuyuanwan Sports Center. Wait for me at the bus station and take me to the sea pier. After about a five-minute drive, I arrived at the Wuyuanwan Sports Hall Pier. The merchant gave me a set of sun protection products (sun protection sleeves and scarf) and a waterproof mobile phone bag. When I arrived at the terminal, I had to wait until the scheduled time to swipe my card. Enter the lock and get on the boat to go out to sea, but you must wear a life jacket before you can swipe your card to enter the dock. It takes a total of forty minutes to go out to sea, including the outbound and return journeys, but I think these forty minutes are enough, and we will also pass through the dolphin protected waters in the middle. If you are lucky, you can also see dolphins. I am also one of the lucky ones. I saw one white and one black dolphin. They jumped out of the water three times. I only saw it once. My eyes are always slower than ordinary people. Although traveling alone is worrying about safety, fortunately, I met many kind people along the way. A little kindness made me feel that the world is full of beauty and light. The same is true for this trip to Xiamen. The group helped each other and showed the beauty of the world.

After I finished my trip to the sea, I took a car to Yefengzhai. There was an unpleasant episode, which was a waste of money on taking a taxi. I was forced to spend thirty for a few yuan, alas! However, the scenery in Yefengzhai is really beautiful, and there are some people playing on the beach, but the weather is too hot. I originally planned to ride a bicycle on the beach for a few hours, but the sun at noon was too strong. After riding for a few minutes, I felt really uncomfortable. I couldn't bear it anymore and had to give up. Xiamen's seaside has an advantage. There are many shared cars on the roadside, or maybe it's too hot and no one dares to ride them. The coconuts in Xiamen are very sweet. When I was at the beach, I bought one from a tricycle vendor. It was so sweet! During this trip, I really felt that people are not too kind. When I was taking pictures at the beach, I met a disciple who claimed to be a master from Nanputuo Temple. He insisted on making a Buddhist connection with me and gave me a string of beads. After some haggling, I gave him 36 yuan. I don't care about the small money, just treat it as a good relationship to eliminate disasters. Just like last year when I was at the Luohan Temple in Chongqing, when I was out to play after a trip, I met a big lady who pulled me and insisted on telling me my fortune. I didn't rush. She kept telling me nonsense, and finally I gave her 8.88 yuan. She was helpless and couldn't laugh or cry. I still spent money, so I had to smile bitterly. To survive in this world, you must know how to say no. When I was young, I just didn’t know how to say no. I suffered a lot, a big loss, and spent a lot of money. Now I still don’t know how to refuse, hey, this is my nature~ How hard it is to make money, and even harder to save money. Why should I give it to others? Isn’t it good to keep it for myself? .

After going to Yefengzhai, I originally planned to eat some Sha Cha Noodles and then go to Sunlight Rock, but I couldn’t find the Internet famous Sha Cha Noodles. I was tired and hungry, so I had to return and didn’t want to go anywhere. , I felt dizzy and had no interest in continuing to play. When I went back to the hotel to pick up my luggage, I looked in the mirror and realized that I was really sunburned, and it was quite serious. I wore a one-shoulder long-sleeved shirt that day, and the sunburn exposed my shoulders and back.

The flight was at 6:30 in the evening, and I arrived at the airport before 4 o'clock. It was the only time in my life that I arrived at the airport so early. But fortunately, things at the airport are not as expensive as I thought, drinks only cost a dozen yuan, and there are tables where you can sit and rest.
