Travel notes on Yanzhou Island and Heipaijiao in Huidong, Guangdong

Several years ago, I wanted to go sightseeing in Yanzhou Island and Heipaijiao in Huidong. The pictures and information sent from various aspects were so attractive. However, as an old man, I am not able to drive myself, so it is really inconvenient for me to move around.

If we go by ourselves, we won’t be able to see the guide by car. If we go with a tour group or a photography group, they all think we are too old.

2020-09-21My son was having a meeting in Dapeng, and he took this opportunity to send me to Yanzhou Island. I asked an old man to accompany me to visit Yanzhou Island for two days. The tourist attractions and routes were naturally clear to me, and I could go there by myself in the future.

Once you know it, it’s easy.

Take the Shenzhen Changyun bus from Shenzhen Luohu Bus Station (stopping at Caopu on the return trip) to Huidong County Chengnan Passenger Terminal (Huidong Pingshan, departing every 20 minutes, 40 yuan), and transfer at Huidong County Chengnan Passenger Terminal Line 678 goes to Huangbu Town (one bus every 15 minutes, 15 yuan). The final destination is Huangbu Town, which is the closest transportation point to the Yanzhou Island Mangrove Scenic Area and Heipaijiao Scenic Area. At Huangbu Bus Station, you can only use motor vehicles. Tricycle to Yanzhou Island (about 30 yuan per vehicle).

In fact, you can walk from Huangbu Bus Station to Yanzhou Mangrove Scenic Area, which is about 8 kilometers away. CLP Corporation is building a nuclear power plant on Yanzhou Island. The road is dusty and sanitation is worrying. It only takes 15 minutes by electric tricycle. If you walk, it will take at least 10 minutes. 2 hours (we explored the route).

Yanzhou Island is located in the inland sea. The main tourist attractions are as follows:

One is Heipaijiao, a coastal volcanic relic. The brown rock stretches out into the sea. On one side is a low-sloping, wide white sand beach and a natural bathing beach. In the distance, rows of high-rise buildings in Huangbu Town float on the skyline like mirages.

This is a tourist and photography spot, and it is also the best sunrise photography spot. Over time, the hillside naturally forms the best platform for watching the sunrise.

2020-09-23We chartered a motorized tricycle at 4:30 in the morning to go from Yanzhou B&B to Heipaijiao Sunrise Observation Deck. The driver led the way. He was obviously very familiar with the environment. The round trip cost was 100 yuan, which is estimated to be more than 10 yuan one way. kilometer.

 

 

The second is Baisha Village Huidong Wetland Park and Mangrove Scenic Area.

After 5 pm, watch the spectacular show of hundreds of birds returning to their nests in the mangroves. Three, five, and later flocks of migratory birds return home. On the top of the originally empty mangrove, in half an hour, a group of egrets moored in a field of white crows. I don’t know, how many are there? Hundreds, thousands, and counting.

To watch the egrets returning to their nests, you must borrow the roof of the villagers to watch it. We stayed at the "Mangrove House" B&B, and Mrs. Guo personally led us upstairs.

Whether it is Huangbu Town or Baisha Village, there are many B&Bs with hygienic prices and very pleasant prices. There are also seafood restaurants nearby. Fish, shrimps and crabs freshly caught from the sea and cooked over high fire are much more delicious than those in Shenzhen restaurants.

The B&B we stayed at: Mangrove House (bargained price is 100 yuan), the female owner’s surname is Guo (people named Guo all claim to be descendants of Guo Ziyi, God knows!), the service is attentive, clean and quiet, and fully equipped, 13542740799.

The residents of Baisha Village were originally fishermen and had land, but now they have turned to tourism. They seem to be living a good life and the environment is sanitary (a clear contrast to Huangbu Town). The only drawback is that they compete with each other for business. It seems that the industry needs to be strengthened manage.

 

The third is fishing and swimming.

Fishing in the sea is also a big show in the mangrove scenic spot. Rent a motor boat and go out to sea for more than an hour (more than 200 yuan, one boat can accommodate seven or eight tourists). After passing rows of oyster farms, you start to cast a net for fishing. .

There are two boatmen, one is responsible for driving the boat, and the other is responsible for catching fish. They cast the net, catch the fish, and close the net. It is actually a seine. The fisherman uses an empty barrel-shaped stick to draw water to drive the fish in, and the driven fish jump out. On the sea surface, I was ignorantly caught in the net. There were only a few fish caught in one net, and they were very small. After three nets, the total amount was less than a pound of miscellaneous fish. Tourists can take the fish away to the restaurant for free. For processing, because there is too little and it is not worth taking away, we don’t want it.

However, it is very interesting!

 

In addition, having the opportunity to watch the sunset is also a kind of enjoyment. Where can you see the most beautiful sunset? This requires experience. We missed the best location at the best moment the first time we came. We grabbed a few pictures on the way. The photos are not ideal, but they are better than nothing. I took a step back this time and will be prepared next time. Is there a next time?

Would love to go again!
