In order to let Nuan Nuan experience the magic of the ocean world, we went to Ocean Window the next morning as planned. It was pretty good. We were dazzled by all kinds of marine life, beautiful fish, coral reefs and all kinds of exquisite fish. Shellfish makes you unable to help but explore their origins and habits. Nuannuan was very excited and kept shouting back and forth, as if she had found gold. The ocean window consists of the mysterious sea, the ancient ocean, the time tunnel, the coral sea , the corner of the sea, the dream ocean, and the ocean resources. Hall, Maritime Silk Road, Zheng He's Voyage to the West , Ocean Theater, Coastal Landscape, Mangrove Ecological Area, Shellfish Culture, Nanzhu Culture, and 4D Dynamic Cinema. It consists of 16 major themes and takes more than two hours to tour. During this period, I have been paying attention to the tickets to Weizhou Island, and finally gave up the idea of going to Weizhou Island. The first one is that it is difficult to get a ticket. After queuing twice, there are only tickets for the afternoon. If I go in the afternoon, I still have to stay. On the island, it is said that consumption on the island is very expensive. The afternoon boat is added to allow tourists to stay on the island. It is said that it is more difficult and more expensive to book a hotel on the island than in Beihai city. In addition, many ticket sellers do this business. Yes, I’ll go there next time. I'd rather spend a quiet afternoon on the beach.

After giving up on going to Weizhou Island, I went to Yintan Seaside Park in the afternoon and enjoyed the free view and swimming! It's great to have such a free swimming place here. The beach is really beautiful, the sand is very fine, silvery and shiny, the water is very clear, and it stretches twenty four The kilometers of coastline are a gift from the sea to people. Beihai Silver Beach is wide and long. The Silver Beach is more than 100 meters wide and stretches for more than 20 kilometers. Beidaihe , Qingdao , Dalian , Yantai , Xiamen The beach is wide and can accommodate 100,000 to 150,000 tourists every day. We quickly found a place to change clothes, and the three of us ran to the beach. The water was warm, and the sky and the sea were connected. Although the temperature was still high, it could not stop people from playing in the water. Surfing, playing with sand, playing in the water, swimming, there were many people but it was not crowded. Nuannuan was so happy that she kept screaming. She especially liked the sand here, which she made into various "cakes". There were few shells, but we also picked up some debris to decorate the "sand sculptures". We played from five o'clock until sunset and left the beach reluctantly.

I took the 3 bus to the vicinity of Beibu Gulf, and was pulled by a seemingly "honest" tricycle driver to a place halfway up the slope to eat seafood. When I asked, I found out that a kilogram cost at least 88 Yuan, other fish easily cost more than 100 yuan, and the smallest fish weighed more than two kilograms. Forget it, I finally went to another restaurant and ordered a shrimp, a shellfish, a vegetable and rice. The taste was really authentic. My husband went to the supermarket to buy it. " We had a great time drinking Liquan beer and pineapple beer. After dinner, I walked to Beihai Old Street. It still felt very good. Although it has been washed away by the years, I can still find the bustling scene of the past. Beihai Old Street is an old street with a history of more than 100 years. It was first built in In 1883, it was 1.44 kilometers long and 9 meters wide. All along the street were Chinese and Western arcade-style buildings. However, it is a pity that such an old street with architectural features integrating Chinese and Western cultures and commercial prosperity has not been effectively protected and is now gradually declining. There are snacks in the old street , but we didn't find the place. It seems that sometimes asking for directions will delay things, especially in a fast-paced tourist city like Beihai, which is full of money-making atmosphere and lacks the richness of culture. I only feel impetuous and impulsive. In the evening, take a tricycle and check in directly at your hotel. The hotel run by Northeasterners is very clean, and the boss is very kind. This is the best night I have stayed in during this trip. It was almost a while after I finished washing up. Nuannuan went to bed and went to sleep. She also walked four or five kilometers a day. This little girl Also made a breakthrough. She never had enough fun. During this period, she often asked when she would go home. When she was told she would be back in three days, she became very annoyed. She counted her days on her fingers and wanted to keep playing. But how can this be done, Niuniu , the journey is always short. After all, we have to return to our own home. The journey of life is more real. To be honest, I already feel a little homesick.

Qiaogang Cargo Terminal
The next day we planned to go fishing in the mangrove scenic spot as planned, but we didn’t know until we arrived at Silver Beach that the typhoon damaged the bridge leading to the mangrove scenic spot and the mangrove scenic spot was suspended for two days. Oh my god! How really unlucky! The Weizhou Island and mangroves we were originally going to were ruined. It seemed that this trip to Beihai Station was destined to leave us with regrets. Maybe it gave me a chance to go again. We had to change our plans and went to Qiaogang to have a look. This is the first time we have seen a real cargo terminal, but it is not that beautiful. The villagers of Qiaogang are peeling shrimps and drying them at the door, and they are also drying cuttlefish. A pound of dried cuttlefish costs 100 yuan. They make a living from this. Look Get up and live a good life. The Qiaogang town we went to is a good place to eat, but we were not hungry at the moment. We walked for a long time and it was very hot. We took the wrong road and saw a "Qiaogang Town Yaping Village". It was very interesting. I didn't expect it. We are here, but when we arrived at the door exhausted, no one cared about us... Haha. Finally walked out of Qiaogang, took the No. 3 bus to the terminal, Beach Park. The beach here is much rougher, but it is more peaceful. You can sit on the beach and stay quietly for a while, watching the local fishermen busy on the fishing boats, and there are old people swimming not far away. The weather is very hot, so it is difficult to swim. You can't avoid the heat even with an umbrella. We jumped into the water to pick up Baker, and Nuannuan built a "SpongeBob SquarePants" hut on the beach, and a small "Patrick Star" nest not far away. We picked up a lot of small shells in the water, but they were not very good. , maybe we didn’t find the place, let’s leave a few as souvenirs.

After leaving the beach park, we went to Nanzhu Station and took the express bus to Nanning, and started the return route of the entire trip. We arrived at Nanning Dongdong Station at around 9pm, and it was almost 11pm when we took the bus to the snack street. I didn’t expect that there are so many snacks in the south. All kinds of shellfish and seafood are available. They are cheaper than in the North Sea. It is said that most of the seafood here is farmed, while most of the seafood in the North Sea is directly caught at sea. We eat a roll of rice noodles and sugar cane juice. There are also some skewers and other things. After riding for too long, I don’t have much appetite. It’s good to experience some. The three or four hundred meters of streets are filled with various snacks. They are brightly lit and the colors are attractive. I can’t help but envy the locals for their good fortune. , guarding such a snack street, you can come here every weekend to have fun and comfort your body and mind after a week of hard work. After eating, take the bus to the train station and find a hotel with computers. Hurry and book a sleeper car for the next day. Fortunately, I woke up early the next morning and booked a sleeper car to Wuhan, as well as a hard-seat ticket from Wuhan to Zhengzhou, so as to ensure a safe return from the trip.
The next day, we took advantage of more than half a day to go to the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area. It took us 45 minutes to drive to the scenic area. It was full of subtropical botanical garden atmosphere, the scenic area design was very grand, and we saw thousand-year-old cycad trees in the cycad forest. There are also various plants that we rarely see in the mainland. The vegetation is very rich, with tall trees and various shrubs. The locals come here to escape the summer heat and set up hammocks under the tall banana trees that shade the sun to eat and have dinner. Very pleasant. The three of us were non-stop passers-by, and it was another hurried journey back. When we arrived at the station, it was less than twenty minutes before departure. We trotted into the carriage, and only regained some peace and quiet in the air-conditioned sleeper carriage... Maybe this is the journey, full of excitement and thrills, but also endless fun. It's just that it's a lot harder to take care of a child, but it's also fun. My husband is mostly worried about tickets, meals, accommodation, and tickets along the way. Nuannuan and I just have to keep up with the schedule as quickly as possible. Life is like a journey. Sometimes plans cannot keep up with changes, and sometimes there are many unexpected surprises. Sometimes it requires hard work, and sometimes you can get rare beauty. But as long as you maintain a state of mind that is always full of novelty and exploration, everything will not be a problem. The short-lived beauty is something that requires a long and hard time to look forward to, and can even be seen after a long and arduous journey. You can choose to be comfortable and quiet, or you can choose to work tirelessly and search high and low to finally reach the splendid beauty of life.

The sleeper car arrived in Wuhan at around 11 o'clock the next day, and the train made a special trip back to Zhengzhou. The train arrived at the station at 10:40, and we returned to a warm home at 11 o'clock, with air conditioning and hot water, and we could eat and cook whatever we wanted. Delicious, fresh, and ice-cold are all available. Only after experiencing wandering and trekking can you feel the warmth of home better. How happy!
