Travel Notes on Wanning, Hainan: We who travel in a small way feel the family affection and warmth in our fellow villagers

Since we started traveling in Woyou, we have been living in a foreign land. It is difficult for relatives and friends to get together again, so we can only comfort ourselves through video chats. This can be regarded as one of the shortcomings of our life in Woyou.

Along the way, we met many fellow Xinjiang people. Although they are engaged in different professions and live in different places, what remains unchanged is the Xinjiang people's generous character and enthusiasm for treating others.

In Wanning, we met XiaoYing's family, who are also from Xinjiang, and we felt the deep affection and warmth of home.

Let’s take a group photo first, ignore my expression, the one in the middle is Xiaoying. Next to them are Xiaoying's mother, aunt and grandfather.

XiaoYing's family opened a small inn in Wuchang Port, Wanning City. The name of the inn is Dazhou Xiaoying Inn. There are not many rooms in the inn, only a dozen or so.

Xiaoying told us that the main purpose of opening an inn is not to make money, but to allow the elderly in the family to enjoy their old age comfortably in Wanning, a holy place for retirement, and at the same time, they will not have nothing to do. It can be said that it is a one-stop operation get more.

This is Xiaoying's grandfather. Brother Chen likes this great-grandfather very much.

Like us, Xiaoying is also a restless person. After resigning from a stable state-owned enterprise, she went to Hainan thousands of miles away to start a business. In addition to running an inn, Xiaoying is also a certified photographer with first-class photography skills.

Let me show you some of her works. They are much more professional than us.

Xiaoying's mother and aunt prepared a sumptuous dinner for us, mainly based on various fishes abundant in Wuchang Port. The fresh sea fish paired with Xinjiang tastes made our stomachs enjoy it.

A full ten courses, a sumptuous meal.

Brother Chen's favorite stir-fried fresh shrimps, rolled in multi-grain pancakes, feel wonderful when swallowed in one bite.

An unknown sea fish, the meat is very firm, and the backbone is also very distinctive. Does anyone know what kind of fish it is?

The black multi-grain fried pancakes are not very delicate in texture, but they are really delicious.

Fried unknown sea fish, moderately salty and crispy in texture.

Six adults plus Brother Chen actually swept away the table full of delicacies. Of course, this was done under the enthusiastic "distribution" of Xiaoying's mother, but I have to say that the aunt's craftsmanship is really great.

Wuchang, where the inn is located, is a fishing village under the jurisdiction of Wancheng Town, Wanning City. It is located on the seaside more than 10 kilometers east of Wanning. It is one of the few natural fishing ports in Hainan Island.

Most of the harbors are filled with small fishing boats.

Opposite Wuchang Port is Dazhou Island, known as the undeveloped Maldives. It is a diving resort in China. Every year, a large number of tourists use fishermen's boats to visit the island.

Due to the tightening of environmental protection policies, the government no longer encourages tourism development on Dazhou Island, and the cost of chartering a boat is as high as about 1,000 yuan, so we had to reluctantly give up the idea of ​​​​landing on the island.

Let everyone experience the beautiful scenery of Dazhou Island through the photos taken by Xiaoying.

The waters near Dazhou Island are famous fishing grounds in the South China Sea. As soon as the fishing boats leave Dazhou Island, they reach the deep sea area, which is rich in grouper, mackerel, black marlin, iron fish, stone saury, hairtail, pomfret, squid, lobster, etc. This is also the main reason why Wuchang Port has a constant fish market all year round and the supply of seafood products exceeds demand.

After boatloads of fish arrived at the port, they were all taken away by the fishmongers who had been waiting here.

Fishermen who have sold their catch will take time to repair fishing tools in the harbor.

Xiaoying said, buy seafood sooner rather than later. We arrived at the Wuchang Fishing Port at the end of the fish market, and there were a large number of empty fishing boats gathered in the fishing port.

This kind of crab is called tiger crab. According to fishermen, it can only be caught here in the country. It is very precious and the price is very beautiful, 150 yuan per pound.

This is a basket of small squids, and I also saw a large squid that was half a meter long, priced at 50 yuan per pound.

It is not cheap for outsiders to buy fish at the fishing port. It seems to be much more expensive than the farmers market in the city, but you can bargain hard!

If you travel to Wanning, don’t miss this fishing port! If possible, it would definitely be nice to go to Dazhou Island and experience the charm of China’s Maldives.
