Traveling in Northern Xinjiang, Beauty is at the Border—Travel Records of Northeast Inner Mongolia (1) Shenzhen-Beijing-Shanhaiguan-Shenyang-Harbin-Xingkai Lake

Youran apologized and explained that it was not that they set off late, but that the Northeastern driver deliberately went around the city and did not take the expressway, causing them to pay more than 100 yuan in taxi fare and being an hour late. It seemed that they had not left yet. In the Northeast, let the "Northeasterners" give me a lesson.

The trip really started like this. Youran kept talking as soon as she got in the car. Listening to her tone, she felt like a very experienced backpacker, while Deep Breathing was not very talkative. The emperor also became excited. While driving, he talked about his experience when leading the team. I knew that he was introducing the rules of the mill to the two of them. Let's discuss it. Youran will be responsible for the accounting, while Breathing will be responsible for the logistics. The emperor was in charge, and I was responsible for guiding the way and selecting scenic spots. In addition, no one wanted to do the ordering, so I had to bear it.

I have driven the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway countless times. The emperor was familiar with the road and passed wildly all the way. He arrived in Shaoguan in less than two hours. I reminded him many times not to drive too fast. It is best to keep it at 140 kilometers. Within the limit, but the speed would exceed 150 kilometers from time to time. After passing Shaoguan, there were karst scenery all the way. It was the first time for the two ladies to walk this road. They took deep breaths and hummed a few songs from time to time. Their voices were thin but pleasant. Time passed very quickly. It was a little after 6 o'clock and everyone was already sitting at the dining table in the service area in northern Guangdong.

Karst scenery all the way

The road will be blocked immediately if there is a big car or a big car

I have always not advocated eating at the service. The quality of fast food for 10 yuan per person is much worse than the box lunch in Shenzhen for 5 yuan. Now in order to rush on the road, I can only feel aggrieved. After half an hour, I hurriedly hit the road again. I sat down When we were at the driving position, it was already dark. After entering Hunan, there were obviously fewer small cars, but there seemed to be more large trucks than during the day. Those drivers slept in the service area during the day and only came out at night. The design of the expressway, which only has two lanes, is obviously flawed. As long as a large car overtakes a larger car, the road will be blocked immediately, and our speed will have to be slowed down, which makes people lose their temper. The expressway was opened only a few years ago , the road surface has been filled with bumps and bumps due to heavy vehicles, and from time to time, one side of the road is closed due to road construction. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to doze off. After 5 hours of this, we have arrived at Jie Yanglousi, Hunan Province.

There are many passages at the Yanglousi Toll Station, but only 3 are open. Therefore, there is a long queue of vehicles to pay, and each vehicle passes very slowly. When I get to the toll gate, I realize that there is a group of people checking for overloading. , one-stop payment of fines, that's what it shows. Although those people are not very interested in small cars, there is no separate payment channel for small cars. We can only follow the big cars slowly, and the fee is only 215 yuan, and the fee is 0.4 yuan per kilometer (in Hunan Province) (more than 500 kilometers), much cheaper than Guangdong.

It was past 1 o'clock when we entered Hubei, and the emperor didn't sleep at all in Hunan. He said that taking a bus was more uncomfortable than driving. I asked him if he wanted to find a service area to rest for a while before getting started. Anyway, we had maneuvering time, and he He said that this was just the beginning, and it was not the first time for him to drive all night. It’s just that he smokes to regulate his energy while driving. When he smokes, he always leaves a small gap in the window, so that the air flow outside is fast and the air pressure is low, so the smoke in the car will escape, and the smell of smoke will not be transmitted to everyone, haha, He knows a lot about fluid mechanics, I thought to myself, this guy is very smart. In addition, I found that the emperor was very principled when driving. He never overtook on the right and always flashed his headlights to prevent the large car in front of him from suddenly turning into the overtaking lane and forcing us to slow down. In this way, the vehicle speed can always be maintained above 100 kilometers. I finally crossed the Fourth Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, and I fell asleep in a daze.

Sleeping while sitting is always uneasy. I woke up just after dawn. When I looked at my watch, it was just past 5 o'clock. The car kept maintaining a speed of 150 kilometers. From time to time, small cars overtook us and were overtaken by us on the road. It seemed that the emperor I was still sober. This section of the highway in Henan had just been used for a few years, but the road surface was already bumpy. It was only smoother to walk in the passing lane. When I arrived in Xuchang, I asked the emperor to drive the car to the exit, because Breakfast cannot be solved in the service area anyway.

Highway near Xuchang

We walked about 5 kilometers from the exit and found the downtown area. There were many breakfast stalls here. We parked the car next to a vegetable market. It only cost 5 yuan for 4 of us. There were quite a lot of breakfast options, including tofu puffs, fried dough sticks, etc. Sticky rice has everything you need. I also spent 20 yuan to buy peaches and cantaloupe, which cost one yuan a pound. I thought Shenzhen was not so cheap and good. Then I refueled and washed the car. The windshield was full of insect corpses and could only be washed off with water.

Breakfast

Returning to the highway, the emperor still refused to let go. It seemed that driving was really his hobby. The weather was gloomy, and there was no trace of the sun. The small amount of water on the road revealed to us that it had just rained last night. After passing Zhengzhou Airport, the road became a one-way four-lane road, and it continued like this. The Yellow River Bridge has just returned to two lanes. Thinking of the Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge where humans and animals competed for traffic two years ago, I can't help but sigh that the change is really big.

Highway near Zhengzhou, one-way 4 lanes

We are almost on the Yellow River Bridge

Going further north, the poplar trees on the roadside have become forests, indicating that this section of the highway has been around for some years. The scenery in the North China Plain is monotonous. After walking for hundreds of kilometers, the scenery on the roadside is almost unchanged. Except for the trees, there are cornfields. , the only fun thing is to look at the various vehicles walking on the road. During the day, there are a lot less big cars, and most of the small cars are overtaken by us. Whenever a Passat, Mazda and other high-end cars overtake us, the emperor has a look on his face. He was helpless, but when he saw that they were blocked by the big car in front, he showed a look of relief. After walking like this for a hundred or two hundred kilometers, we were not pulled down, and we arrived at the border of Hebei without knowing it.

The poplar trees on the roadside have grown into a forest, indicating that this highway is old.

Entering Hebei

Generally speaking, highway tolls are settled based on provinces, so there are toll stations at every provincial boundary. But when passing south of Shijiazhuang, there is also a toll station here like a provincial boundary. I really don’t know the purpose of setting up such a toll station. It was almost noon. When I came to a service area, I saw a buffet of 20 yuan per person. The quality was so poor that I lost my appetite. The emperor said that he had eaten donkey meat on fire in Baoding, but I knew that the urban area of ​​Baoding was too far from the highway entrance. , and you have to pay the city fee to enter the city, so a lunch is not worth it, so I took out the map and saw that Qingyuan County is very close to the highway, so I decided to have lunch here. Within a few minutes of walking off the expressway, I entered the county town. I asked passers-by, and they all said that to eat Shao Shao, I had to go to Haozhiwei Restaurant.

Shijiazhuang Toll Station

Good taste restaurant

This is a chain store in the Baoding area. Although the decoration is average, the meat smells delicious as soon as we walk in. The seats are full. We finally found a seat. The donkey meat platter costs 20 yuan a plate and is divided into donkey skins. Donkey legs, donkey face, donkey belly and other parts have different tastes, especially the donkey face. The texture is a bit like a chicken neck. In northern words, it is very somersault. The taste is very good. We each asked for a fire roast. The inside Add shredded donkey meat and it tastes much better than mutton steamed buns. As a result, everyone was exhausted, and in the end, the total was 54 yuan, which is unimaginable in the service area.

20 yuan a plate of donkey meat platter

The Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway may be the earliest expressway in my country. It may be due to a design flaw at the time. The two-lane road cannot withstand the current high-density traffic flow. In addition, it is in disrepair and the road is full of potholes. Therefore, driving on this section cannot speed up at all. , after entering Beijing, I thought the road conditions would be better, but it turned out to be even worse. One side of the road was closed, and the car drove like a snail. The only thing that made me unforgettable was that when I entered Beijing, the number displayed on the car's mileage meter happened to be 2466. , it's the same as my car number, I don't know what it means. It took us 25 and a half hours from Shenzhen to Beijing. After deducting waiting time and meal time, it was 22 and a half hours. We were faster than the express train! Reported to JACKIE that we arrived in Beijing, he was concerned about our trip all the way.

Beijing Section of Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway

I originally thought that I needed to apply for a Beijing Entry Permit when passing through Beijing, but when I was approaching the permit application place, there was a sign pointing to the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway. Going down this road is the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing. Although it is a two-lane road, the road surface is very good. There were very few vehicles, and the speed was easy to pick up. From time to time, I saw the Emperor braking, which turned out to be an electronic eye. After half an hour, we finally arrived at Zhangjiawan, which is the connection point between the Sixth Ring Road and the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway.

Beijing Sixth Ring Road

Like the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway also has six lanes, but there are obviously far fewer vehicles, so there is no need to consider the problem of large vehicles blocking the road. However, there are JC hand-held cameras on the roadside from time to time to monitor the speed, so we dare not be careless. There are many toll stations on this section of the road. I just left Beijing and entered Hebei. I went to Tianjin not long after walking, and then returned to Hebei. I had to pay a toll almost every time I crossed the border. It was very annoying. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when I drove through Qinhuangdao, except Except for me, none of them had ever been to Shanhaiguan, so we decided to get off the expressway and visit for an hour.

Entering Hebei again

Beijing-Shenyang Expressway Hebei Section

After passing the Qinhuangdao East Toll Station and walking about 20 kilometers, we came to Shanhaiguan Laolongtou Scenic Area. Laolongtou is the eastern starting point of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall enters the sea from here, and it also starts from here, goes westward, and crosses High mountains, rivers and deserts, heading straight to the northwest. As a 4A-level scenic spot, the entrance fee is 50 yuan. It has already reached sunset, but there is no discount at all. Now that we go in, we can’t see anything at all. When everyone was thinking about what to do, a local middle-aged woman told us that it was okay. We took a boat to see Lao Longtou. Under her leadership, we walked through a forest and came to a simple cruise ship dock. After bargaining, the three of them paid 20 yuan each and took a yacht to go around Lao Longtou, starting from taking photos. From this perspective, this is the best choice.

For 20 yuan per person, you can take a yacht and go for a ride next to the old dragon head.

Lao Longtou 1

When Meng Jiang got on the highway again, it was almost dark, and the emperor said to me:

"You really shouldn't have driven that five-hour drive last night."

"That stretch of road in Hunan? What happened?"

"Actually, I didn't sleep during that time. If I was driving at that time, it would have set a record."

"A record of driving continuously for one day and one night?"

"Yes, you see, we are driving tonight How about Harbin? "The emperor is addicted to driving.

It is said that the emperor is an iron man. I didn’t believe it before. Now I have learned a lot. But this is definitely not possible. I think if it was just the two of us, I could still risk my life to accompany the gentleman. Now there are two people sitting in the car. Madam, the safety of the people in the car must come first. Besides, the agreed time between us and the other car is to meet up in Harbin tomorrow night. There is no need to drive at night. In this way, we must rest when the car reaches Jinzhou.

The expressway exit is still 15 kilometers away from downtown Jinzhou. After passing a toll station, we parked the car next to the oil gun of a gas station. We saw a car parked next to it suddenly start and disappear into the night. The oiler chased us for more than ten meters and then came back disappointed. She looked at us helplessly and said, "Why are you doing this?" It seems that there is a clever way to deal with the increase in gasoline prices!

Jinzhou is brightly lit at night. It is a big city after all. Food and accommodation are very convenient and not expensive. I lay down on the bed and slept until dawn.

In fact, the strange slope is not weird at all, it is completely the result of human visual error. Look at the photo below. A higher uphill slope in the distance will make the gentler uphill slope nearby look like a downhill slope. I think if there is a level pole The ruler is easy to measure. In addition to strange slopes, the scenic spot also has strange castles, strange rocks, strange meat restaurants, etc. Although not many people go to see these man-made "themes", they play a very important role in the "packaging" of the scenic spot. Otherwise, these few A ten-meter road cannot become a 4-A scenic spot, and there is no reason to set up tickets worth tens of yuan.

A steeper uphill slope in the distance will make a gentler uphill slope nearby appear to be a downhill slope

It was already noon when we came to Xintaizi, a small station on the Beijing-Harbin Railway. There were only a few restaurants in the whole town. We went to the second floor of a restaurant. The hall of hundreds of square meters was empty. Only the four of us came to eat. , I ordered three dishes and one soup, three fresh ground vegetables, mushrooms and pork, tofu mixed with green onions, and tomato and egg soup. The plates were very big, and with rice, it only cost more than 20 yuan in the end. I really don’t know how a restaurant like this is run. Go down.

Three dishes and one soup

Then we took the Yilu Expressway, which only took more than 20 minutes, before we were forced to get off the national highway again because the expressway from Tieling to Siping was closed due to renovations. The national highway is not difficult to walk. It is all very flat asphalt roads. Except for a few counties in the middle, there are very few vehicles on the road. Our speed is not slow. Since there are no guardrails on the national highway, it brings convenience to the scenery. Although they are also corn fields, they are obviously taller than those in the North China Plain. There are no grain depots like oil storage tanks on the road, indicating that this is an important commercial grain base for the country. An hour and a half later, we arrived at the border of Jilin Province and could take the highway again.

Jilin Provincial Boundary

This section of the expressway has obviously been renovated recently. The asphalt road is still very dark and the walking is very smooth. When passing through Changchun, there is a fork in the road, but both road signs point to Harbin. It is confusing. I can only look at the map of Northeast China. It turns out that we When you reach the intersection of the Changchun Ring Road, choose the shortcut, which should be to go around the city from the left. An hour later, I crossed the Songhua River Bridge. Many houses under the bridge had been flooded to their roofs. It seemed that there had just been a flood. Arrive at Lalin River Toll Station at 6 o'clock, which is also the provincial boundary between Jilin and Heilongjiang.

Entering Heilongjiang

As soon as we entered Heilongjiang, the air seemed to be much cleaner. Maybe it was clear after the rain, or maybe it was the beauty of the sunset. In short, I felt that the visibility was much better and the road scenery became more beautiful. Does this mean that we are approaching the border? , CRV sent a message that they had arrived in Harbin. We made an appointment to meet at the Flood Control Memorial Tower at 8pm.

Heilongjiang Section of Shenha Expressway

CRV is the owner of the other car. He is already an old donkey. He can be said to be the predecessor of the self-driving version. I remember when he replied to my call-up post, he said that he would start from Shandong, so it would be the most appropriate choice for us to meet up in Harbin. At that time, there were a girl from Beijing and a girl from Harbin who wanted to join our team. I asked them to contact CRV, but CRV did not agree to let them ride because it wanted to consider the feelings of their LPs. It can be said that such good men are really rare nowadays. Similarly, CRV and I have never met in person, we only talked on the phone a few times in Shenzhen, so on this trip, except for the emperor, I am working with strangers. Let’s see how brave I am.

"Exit the expressway, keep going, turn left onto Xizhi Street and go down, you can see the train station, Central Street is near the train station" This is the message CRV sent me, he obviously has a good memory. People who know the road are also willing to share traffic information with others. This is very similar to me. As long as I have a city map, I don’t need to ask for directions at all. So after getting off the highway, there were basically no twists and turns, and we met successfully. Traveling with him was a very capable Sichuan man who called himself Lao Yang.

Harbin Exit

We chose a local restaurant for dinner. I have a hobby, which is to drink local beer wherever I go. I ordered two bottles of Harbin beer. When the waiter brought the cups, no one drank much, and the emperor was even more drunk. I didn't stick to it, so I almost drank alone. The food here is very expensive, but fortunately the plate is big and everyone can accept it.

The Flood Control Memorial Tower and its surroundings are the most lively places in Harbin. After everyone has eaten, they are strolling on the Central Street. Beautiful girls in fashionable clothes can be seen everywhere, as if to show that this is the fashion center of northern China. Many The artist setting up the stall is sketching for passers-by. The portraits worth tens of dollars already show high artistic quality. It is still a big city with rich heritage, I sighed in my heart. It was almost 10 o'clock, but there were still so many people here that it took us almost 30 minutes to get through the crowds from the parking lot.

When staying in a big city in the Northeast, a bathing center should be a good choice, because its guest rooms are no worse than hotels. If you don’t have a private room, you can stay in the lobby for free just for the cost of bathing, and the lobby often provides performances, such as a two-person show. Wait, some bathing centers also provide free meals, and the most important thing is that it is not expensive. This makes it often a place for local people to spend money. It is said that there are now more than 2,000 bathing centers in Harbin, which have basically outcompeted the hotels.

The bath center we chose is called Yilong Club. The suite is only 100 yuan, and it comes with breakfast. The room is at least the accommodation level of a three-star hotel or above. I think it is a great value. I will spend another 15 yuan for a full body massage. All of a sudden, the feeling of fatigue was gone.

A corner of the suite

Today’s plan is to rush to Xingkai Lake, and then use the sunset time to take pictures of the lake. From the map, you have to go through Jixi to go to Xingkai Lake, but there are two ways to choose from to Jixi, one is to take Mudanjiang, and the other is to take Boli, during the car repair, I asked another driver for advice and the advice I received was to take Boli. The reason is that the expressway from Harbin to Jiamusi and the secondary road to Mudanjiang take less time.

In this way, we found the Hajia entrance. It was already past 9 o'clock. We paid the fee here first, and we bought tickets to Yilan. The emperor was still driving, and CRV was also following behind in a 2004 Jetta. The cars in front and behind were communicating with each other through their mobile phones. Although the Hajia Highway is not as high-grade as the Shenyang-Harbin Expressway, it is also fully enclosed. However, the sealing material is not the commonly used aluminum alloy, but small cement piers strung together with barbed wire. Although one side is sometimes closed, the road surface is relatively smooth and can be used by vehicles. It was very small, and it was very easy to maintain a speed of 130 kilometers. The emperor still drove very fast. He felt that the CRV's driving skills were good. According to his experience, few people could keep up with his speed, but both cars were basically within sight. exercise within.

Hajia Expressway

The air here is very clean, so you can see far away. Compared with the North China Plain, which has a small height difference, the Northeast Plains are often composed of gentle slopes. In this way, there are patches of corn, soybeans, and low-lying fields on the slopes. The rice fields in the area give people a very layered feeling, which brings convenience to photography and framing.

Leveled gentle slopes

Arrive at Yilan at 11 o'clock. From here we will pass right to Boli. It's lunch time again. I chose a "coarse grain pork ribs pot" restaurant. The specialty here is the braised pork ribs pot, which contains ribs, potatoes, beans and green vegetables. , small cakes made of cornmeal are battered on the side of the pot. One full pot can feed 6 people half full, plus the bowl of large slag porridge that everyone drank before, everyone felt that the vegetables were too greasy. Sorry, the dishes in Northeastern China are so big that only four dishes can feed 6 people. That works out to 46 yuan.

After leaving Yilan, we turned onto Provincial Highway 308. The scenery on the roadside remained the same, but the road surface became narrower, but the road quality level did not deteriorate. The vehicle speed could still be maintained at more than 130 kilometers. From time to time, granaries made of straw appeared on the roadside. There are dozens of them in a large area. The blue sky, the green soybean fields, and the small flowers on the roadside formed a beautiful picture. The feeling of driving came again, and it became more and more enjoyable as we walked.

Beautiful images

It took an hour to reach Boli and passed a toll station. The car turned south and walked less than 200 meters before encountering another toll station. I thought it was for ticket inspection, but it turned out that I had to pay again. I asked the toll collector why he was so far apart. If you are so close, you will be charged twice. The answer is that that side is the Qitai River Management District and this side is the Jixi District. There are two toll stations so close to each other. Except for highway intersections, I have never encountered such tolls in these years.

Boli Toll Station

There are toll stations one after another, about every 15 kilometers.

Couplets at the entrance of the Highway Bureau

This section of the road is all about paying, and there is no time to even take pictures. Often as soon as I pick up the camera, I will encounter the next toll station, which makes people lose their temper. After passing through Mishan, there are fewer toll stations. so that I could notice that we were not far from the border.

Before leaving Harbin, a friend of the emperor told us that a certain leader was also going to Xingkai Lake today. After passing through Jixi, we kept asking the toll station if we could enter the scenic spot today, and the answer was that the road would be closed until the end. At a toll station, the toll collector smiled and said: "He does what he does, and you do what you do." As a result, there was no military inspection until entering Xingkai Lake. They just set up a card on the way to a villa in the scenic spot, which did not affect the situation. From our tour, it seems that we no longer see the kind of situation where the emperor comes and the people shy away.

In total, we have traveled 4,000 kilometers and finally arrived at the border. Of course, everyone was very excited. The scenery at the border really made me smile, because before that, they only listened to my introduction, but now it seems that there is no such thing. Let everyone down. After passing Mishan, we kept walking through the green tree corridor. Two rows of tall poplar trees on the roadside stretched infinitely into the distance. The beautiful sunset passed through the side, leaving colorful light and shadow. Seeing these lights and shadows, a colorful halo appeared in front of my eyes. Only when our car passed over it, this illusion was broken, just like waking up from a dream.

We are almost arriving at Xingkai Lake

I finally entered the Xingkai Lake Nature Reserve. What I didn’t expect was that there is no entrance fee here! After entering the gate of the reserve, the first thing that catches my eye is the wetland. The scenic road just passes through the wetland. This is the first time I have seen such a large area of ​​wetland. I feel that the biggest difference between this place and the Tibetan wetland is the plants. The swamps in Tibet are Rarely does grass grow this tall in the ground!

Xingkai Lake "Gate"

According to literature, Xingkai Lake is 35 kilometers away from Mishan City. It was formed by the subsidence of the earth's crust due to volcanic eruptions. It was called Xunlun Lake in the Tang Dynasty, Beiqinhai in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and was renamed Xingkai Lake by the Qing government after the 17th century. It consists of the Big and Small Xingkai Lakes. Daxingkai Lake was originally the largest inner lake in my country, with an area of ​​4,380 square kilometers and a shoreline length of 90 kilometers. The average lake depth is 7 meters, the maximum lake depth is 10 meters, and the lake water transparency is 1.5 to 2.0 meters. After the signing of the Treaty of Beijing between China and Russia in 1860, it became a boundary lake between China and Russia, with about one-third belonging to China. In this way, Xingkai Lake cannot be called the largest lake in China. To the north of Daxingkai Lake and to the west of the Songacha River is the 403-square-kilometer Xiaoxingkai Lake, which is naturally formed in China. Xiaoxingkai Lake and Daxingkai Lake are separated by a 90-kilometer-long natural sand bar. It is about one kilometer wide and is shaded by various naturally formed green trees on the sandy hills, where deer, minks, rats, pheasants and other animals thrive. Xingkai Lake is one of the main aquaculture bases in Heilongjiang Province. The lake is connected to the Ussuri River via the Songaca River.

The road we took next was built on the sand dam of Xiaoxingkai Lake and Daxingkai Lake. On the left side of the road was the small lake and on the right was the large lake. In some sections, both lakes could be seen. This is a section of dirt road. The dust on the road is very thick. If you are not careful, your car will get stuck. There are virgin forests on both sides of the road. The big branches on both sides have been closed, as if they have built a green roof for the road. We parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards Walk down for more than ten meters and you will come to the big lake.

The big branches on both sides have been closed, as if they have built a green roof for the road.

The dirt road is very dusty

The scenery in front of you is vast, the water and the sky are the same color, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The breeze is blowing on the blue and clear lake water. The lake surface is wrinkled and rippled, rolling on the lake surface. When it rolls in front of you, it looks like ocean waves. , Wave after wave slapped the shore. This is not a lake, it is simply the sea! The setting sun bathed the lake, and the lake reflected golden light. Everyone was intoxicated by the scenery in front of them.

When everyone picked up their cameras, I discovered that I was the only one with the worst photography equipment. The three people in the car each brought two cameras. In addition to simple digital point-and-shoot cameras, they all had long guns. Changpao, it seems that I must copy their best works when I go home.

The sunset was extremely beautiful, but it was almost dusk. In order to see the sunset, we drove another 10 kilometers to the flood gate. The flood gate is located between the Da and Xiao Xingkai Lakes. There are tourist service facilities here and fishing boats can be rented. , CRV discussed renting a boat with the fishermen, and said that for only 20 yuan, you can travel around the lake for an unlimited time. I thought it was 20 yuan per person, but later CRV whispered to me that it was 20 yuan for a boat. It was really incredibly cheap!

After we passed through a narrow water strip, we came to the center of the small lake. It was at sunset, and the bright clouds in the sky were reflected in the lake together with the sun, making the leaves floating on the water look like Like flowers, when the breeze blows, the lake water ripples, and the sun jumps in the water, these leaves become colorful. It wasn't until the afterglow of the sun shone on the sparkling lake, covering the small lake with a layer of bright golden sand, that we reluctantly left.

In the evening, everyone ordered a table of Xingkai Lake whole fish feast. The chef's skills were not as good as those in Guangdong, but this was authentic and authentic green food. I found a tourist villa on the spot, which cost 80 yuan for a room, with a lake view and only a public toilet.
